👁️ ‘Flapping Shoe’ - great new name for POTUS 47 - so symbolic, and an honest representation of this once great nation.

Crisis engineering is the practice of navigating high-stakes crises, understanding why complex systems fail, restoring shared clarity, and using disruption as an opportunity for lasting improvement. The book is written by a former government CTO and two former Google SREs1,...

Why is Cheddar Cheese Orange?

Because cheesemakers add orange coloring during the cheesemaking process. It’s the result of hundreds of years of tradition, dating back to the time when cheddar cheese in England was made with milk from cows whose beta-carotene-rich diet produced an orange tint in the milk. Today, orange cheddar cheese is colored with annatto, the fruit of the achiote tree, while white cheddar is made without any added color.

I saw someone post a link to something like this the other day (maybe on Bluesky?) and I keep thinking about it lol never knew it was just added coloring.

Honestly, the fact that Apple is two years behind on releasing its AI, and that it isn’t as cutting-edge as other models is the right way to do it imo. As someone who isn’t a hardcore AI power user, this is enough for me. I don’t think they ever set out to be a ChatGPT killer.

The next milestone will be installing Atlantis on my new macbook, and hooking a monitor up to it, a really nice one, and move my work to that desk. then Berkeley, the name of the system I've been using for eight years, will be here as a backup and source of truth and prior art. That was the goal of the Atlantis project. I could probably do the switch right now. It's like moving out of an old house that you did good stuff in, into a replica, but built out of the latest bits. Honestly I never thought in a million years I'd get here.

Tempted to YOLO the MacOS 27 update just for the corner radii. 🙈

I think those that have some education and did not voted for Trump know it very well…?

I meant it in the sense “not doing enough” to resist while people from outside are ?

Just edited a page using the @hypertexting.com iOS app and it feels so good. 💅

The absolute best thing about smoking is you meet a lot of random people. Last week, while staying in Amsterdam, I met two guys smoking in front of the hotel. We started talking. Initially, I thought they were Armenian. I thought “fuck, they will be biased against me because...

Inside ‘Project Lily’: The Humans Reading Your ChatGPT Chats

OpenAI is hiring hundreds of contractors who read a massive stream of real users’ ChatGPT prompts, with the prompts sometimes including sensitive personal information, 404 Media has learned.

I can’t say I’m surprised but this is pretty fucking creepy nonetheless. Imagine how many people at Meta probably have access to pervert glasses feeds too. None of this shit is private.

My longtime friend Jeff Jarvis says the press is covering the wrong story re AI. I agree, but I think Jeff is covering the wrong story too. This is really a discovery like electricity, or Newtonian physics, calculus, basically the technology of knowledge. I wish I were 22 years old now so I could plan out a long career working this way. I want people like Jeff to understand. They all stopped listening to me when my dreams of a web society were destroyed by the VCs. I'm even smarter and more experienced now than I was then, and I have better tools. Please, listen -- you're all missing the point. It should be a matter of great interest -- what can we do with this. All we hear about are fears, which aren't even informed by what the tech can do. Very typical of journalism. Let's do better this time.

It is probably the closest to First Contact with an intelligent alien life form that our species will ever have.
