The device doesn’t ship with a known, unchangeable admin password. The device doesn’t needlessly require Wi-Fi access for basic local functionality. [my wish list]

I'm curious about the limitations that prevent these apps from writing / caching local data. It doesn't seem like the paradigm would have to change entirely to support that.

This is what makes bluesky so refreshing

I don’t buy it. As a college guy I loved the classes I was in where the women outnumbered the men. I seeked those out and actively signed up for them. It was a great way to meet people (before dating …

> This webpage, for example, has 43 unique statements about me. Thirty-two are completely false. Nine have major errors. Just two are factually correct (It’s o1-mini generated in this example)

Genuinely curious if anyone has ideas how an LLM provider could moat AI. They feel interchangeable like bandwidth providers and seem like it will be a never ending game of leapfrog. I thought perhaps …

For quick simple steps like how to get a Bluetooth keyboard into pairing mode, it seems to work really well. I hated the prior world where everyone attempted to hide the real answer 3/4ths of the…

The new science is… podcasts. I fell asleep listening to Ologies and dreamed I was building a new cabin in the woods. (She had a cabin architect on as the guest.)

I don’t think that was the common person, nor do I think the common person today thinks AI will be useless.

Ok, you say you are bad at marketing but the Nuenki homepage is one of the best I've seen. The product and benefits are so clearly explained. Well done. You may eventually want a small project to…

Steve has a great review: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oU3H581uCsA

The article doesn't mention them, but the keyboard and mouse felt super cheap, too. Light and flimsy and unpleasant.

The article nails Twitter's problem: spambots and promoted tweets. Checking Twitter now feels like checking my spam folder. Bluesky at the moment feels like a group chat with old friends. It will…

“Schools aren't required to use Bluebonnet Learning, but the state will offer financial incentives to districts that do.” Meaning they are withholding school funding from campuses that don’t prio…

My advice for young parents is to make birthdays and holidays gifts of an experience. Encourage loved ones to not buy any toys and contribute to a party, train ride, bouncy castle, petting zoo... what…

In open source we've carved a huge hole in the middle of our ecosystems where projects go to die specifically because of our instance that everything is free or its creator is a greedy capitalist…

So just more AI comment spam, huh? It's unfortunately ruining my favorite communities.

I will always call it twitter & always call them tweets.

My hope is to make this easy with a GH repo or at least detailed instructions. I'm on a Mac and I found the easiest way to run & use local models is Ollama as it has a rest interface: https:…

I narrate notes to myself on my morning walks[1] and then run whisper locally to turn the audio into text... before having an LLM clean up my ramblings into organized notes and todo lists. I have it p…

I've gone from thinking AI would only further degrade our sources of news and information to thinking perhaps AI is the only thing that can help combat misinformation. Everything is so siloed &am…

My son has rather severe autism and I know from his own self expression that he hates how much he struggles every day and would absolutely want better help were it available. For him, autism is unpred…

There's got to be opportunity to work on things at a certain scale that you can't find elsewhere. Graviton, AWS data centers, etc.

Yeah what’s the name for this accusatory tone highbrow clickbait? There’s a companion article on the shame you should feel about “ruin porn” because surely you feel “desire to gloat over the decomposi…

"I hope you see where I’m going with this and are yelling 'Oh why the fuck' right now." I love reading blogpost like these.

The United States leaned so far into support of marriage from both the church and state that we've entirely isolated ourselves into nuclear families and in the process lost the support of the &qu…

Yes, these sorts of "studies" that draw insane headline conclusions from horrible data really make me embarrassed to see social science together as a word pairing.

I think we should ask ourselves what we hope to find in (or do with) statistical happiness scores across interpersonal relationships. Especially at such a superficial "men vs women" level. D…

Germany has a ratio of 3.9 deaths per 100,000 people, while America's ratio is 12.4 per 100,000—essentially 4x higher. And they have the autobahn. Not like they are driving slower.
