I wouldn't say it's a reflection of the electorate. There's a lot of states that have been gerrymandered for years and Christians in extremely red areas have outsized voting power compared to everywhere else. Combined with the complete media capture by billionaires, the dumbest rule by fiat.

Unfortunately Christian nationalists happen to be extremely wealthy and extremely stupid.

I did things, some of which were pretty useful or clever, but between telling me what to do, coaching me how to do it, reviewing what I did, and telling me what to change, I probably cost more time than I saved the first few years of my career.

I almost certainly took more time from my seniors than I saved them, and the juniors I've mentored have mostly done the same for me.

~89 million eligible voters did not vote in the last presidential election. “Fuck around find out”, and we are at the “find out” stage. This was a collective choice.

So if you didn’t vote, or you voted for this, you voted for this. Enjoy the ride.

Yeah, in high school I had a pothead acquaintance who got mad at me when I said that I knew more about physics then he did, because I had actually taken physics classes, and I too had seen the same Carl Sagan videos he had. He didn't know any of the math behind physics, and as far as I'm aware he wasn't some kind of Ramanujan savant (considering he wasn't in any advanced classes), but I guess he felt that he was so smart because he would get high and watch Cosmos or listen to Alan Watts.

He might have been smarter than me (not too high of a bar to cross), but I stand by my point that in order to be good at physics you have to, you know, actually learn physics

To be clear, it wasn't my research, I got it from studying some linguistics papers. But it was pretty straightforward. If I am talking, and then you interrupt, and 300ms later I stop talking, then the delay is -300ms.

Same the other way. If I stop taking and then 300ms later you start talking, then the delay is 300ms.

And if you start talking right when I stop, the delay is 0ms.

You can get the info by just listening to recorded conversations of two people and tagging them.

Your phrasing just didn't match your point.

People working at Meta are almost without exception, people who have more luxury of choice than nearly anyone on the planet. It's very important to keep repeating this, and not say the direct opposite as you did. You can make your point without doing so.

It's not feigned ignorance, it's disbelief that people are comfortable working in such an inefficient and frankly unpleasant way.

Can I file my taxes on my phone? Probably. But I could also set myself on fire, and I think that might be more fun. Why would I not want to use a tool that is 100x faster and 1000x easier to use for any task more complex than writing a sentence?

I'm a developer. I've heard of developers SSH'ing from their phone and developing that way. It's impressive, in the same way removing all your fingernails is impressive.

> If you don’t want crazy and incompetent, don’t vote for it

We have less of a problem with crazies voting for crazies than non-crazies not voting. Because if the crazies can find compromise with someone approximately as crazy as them while the non-crazies are either too lazy to turn out or unable to get out of stitches because the less-crazy candidate disagrees with them on two issues, the crazies win.

And the sad truth is that democrats will continue to nominate candidates that are so appalling they'll still be rejected in favor of this lunatic or someone like him. Pathetic options on both sides. The two party system is failing the country. If there was literally anything in the middle, I feel like we'd be better off than lurching from one extreme to the other.

Beautifully old-school Web in so many ways. Besides the obvious (the layout, the "Sign the Guestbook" link) it is the whole "love" displayed by the site.

Kids, this is what the original web was like. Dedicated (maybe obsessive) site creators that (by hand) put together a site as a tribute to their passion—perhaps hoping to find other like-minded souls out there.

No ads. Wild, I know.

Wow. This is the first take on AI that I find really shocking, and it is totally believable.

But worth noting the difference between a system you interact with and a visualization of such system, injected into your eyeball, is the lack of secondary effects (or first effects?). I suppose those can ALSO be faked and maintained, but at some point the illusion is more work than the system that would normally create it.

It seems likely that the fake system would be much more work than the code needed to generate it for most modern uses, but when we are spinning up bespoke code that will be run once, for a single user? The fake output might be more efficient.

I don't think this means this is the future. But it certainly means it could become a preferred approach for certain use cases, when there is no need for reuse.

I love finding ideas like this, ehich feel like true "AI-native" thinking.

I recently deleted my ChatGPT and was just looking around for what the other options are. I kinda like fast, but Grok / Perplexity are behind a perpetual CloudFlare check for me. I'm looking for something that doesn't spend forever reasoning out the answer to some basic quick question.

It's interesting, as I type that out it makes me wonder why not just go back to the search engine since it has the AI summaries that have been getting better.

Finally, I do also like the longer reasoning when I have a tough question and usually like to copy paste it around to various models and compare their responses.

I've been using /e/OS on my phone for a few months now. It comes with built-in DAVx5. Their hosted offering is just another provider and using your own cloud provider is the same process as using theirs. Even their device locator integration is independent from their hosted offering. Of all the Android distributions I've used, it's the one that does providing a hosted service best and it was honestly refreshing.

It is generally "fine" but as a life long mac user from the 68k days, what it isn't is up to the standards Apple used to hold themselves to. macOS has over the last handful of years especially become something of a "death by a thousand paper cuts" experience. And I think the problem Apple is facing is Tahoe is such a fundamental UI change (and no one likes those, just go back and read up on reactions to the original OS X UI) that people are paying more attention to the flaws. The noise and inconsistencies of the menu icons, the "last 20%" cases where the liquid glass UI is actually pretty broken (drop down a long list of possible wifi networks with a window with a white background behind the list), the places where the UI just seems to fail to update until some background thread finally gets around to it. The fact that these are nits, but that the nits have really been adding up over the years is starting the wear thin. Apple has always been a corporation of cycles, and things have gone bad before and then gotten better. But years and years ago, the degree of attention to detail that Apple (usually) put into their software and products was the sort of thing you could point to and demonstrate that for whatever other flaws the system might have, the attention to detail really helped make the whole experience just better. These days, while they do sometimes still get it right, it does feel like there's a lot of software design decisions made by "warm bodies" and not, as the article puts it, people who "bleed six colors". Tahoe is the first time in decades of using a mac that I've actually wanted Apple to take a step back and seriously just spend time fixing the bugs. And I daily drove OS X beta, so my tolerance for buggy software in the face of incredible potential is really high.

I use claude-code. claude-code now spins up many agents on its own, sometimes switch models to save costs, and can easily use 200+ tools concurrently, and use multiple skills at the same time when needed, its automation gets smarter and more parallel by the day, do we still need to outwit what's probably already done by claude-code? I still use tmux but no longer for multiple agents, but for me to poke around at will, I let the plan/code/review/whatever fully managed and parallelized by claude-code itself, it's massively impressive.

Ah yes, while everyone was focused on Flock cameras...

For many more reasons than pervert behaviour, I agree that this kind of tool cannot coexist with healthy society. "Glassholes" was a delightful portmanteau, but I suspect normalising a term like "pedo glasses" will probably put people off them way sooner and faster. At the very least it identifies the product and not the person as the problem.

I’m only halfway through the article, and I am forced to turn away and go holy shite, this hits too hard.

I’ve got a dual Voltron of Aspergers and ADD. This makes it so that not only do I have cognitive superpowers (the Aspergers), but also that this cassette tape of extraordinary skills has been violently jammed in backwards (the ADD), spooling all the tape out, gumming up the entire mechanism, and making the entire enchilada essentially useless at surviving in today’s economic environment.

Trump got less than 50% of the vote, and less than a third of eligible voters voted for him.
The real issue is that the two parties have created a situation where you cannot vote for a viable candidate.
Case in point: approximately a dozen democratic senators have come out in support of the war. Like, if you don’t want to intentionally bring about the apocalypse/nuclear holocaust, and you live in those states, the only way to avoid voting for those things is to not vote.

You can try getting your incumbent kicked out in the primaries, but that’s a dangerous game in swing states. In your case (WA) you absolutely should vote in the primary for the farthest left democrat possible.

We probably should switch to multi-party proportional representation at some point.

I'll check out ydotool. I did a bunch of bullshit with shortcuts, too. I had one that would change my screen from grayscale to color when I opened the photos app. Of course it only worked, like, 80% of the time so that was great.

I have a pixel 9a with Graphene right now and I'm very happy with it. Great hardware, great price, great software. The one blindspot is messaging, which is a big problem in the US. RCS doesn't work on Graphene, and SMS is basically the worst thing ever, so I use Signal as much as I can. I'm hoping one of these days RCS becomes an actual open standard with competing implementations but... I won't hold my breath.

> They can't trust Trump

I mean, the Germans and Japanese and Iraqis probably couldn’t have trusted the U.S. either. They still surrendered because it was better than fighting a futile war.

Same here. Iran’s security chief (and, I’m assuming, de facto leader) messaging he’s ready to concede on those points certainly doesn’t put him in a worse position than he is now.

Really? I did file my taxes by phone. It took me all of five minutes.

90% of taxpayers claim the deduction - meaning their taxes are really simple.

I launched TurboTax, it offered to download my and my wife’s W2s, I clicked through a few buttons on a wizard and I was done. It had all of my information from the prior year so it already knew my employer.

As far as speed, have you compared the speed of the fastest iPhone to a low to midrange x86 PC? The latest A series chips in the iPhone are faster in single core performance than an M1 MacBook Air which is no slouch. But all that is besides the point. How fast of a computer do you think you need to file taxes? There was tax filing software for the 1Mhz Apple //e in 1986. You just had to print it out.

I entered maybe one number?

I live in a state without state taxes so I didn’t even have to file states.

FWIW, I also shopped for, did all of the paperwork before closing, for the house we had built in 2016 from my phone.

How would you prove to the government in step 2 that you are the person whose age they're certifying?

This also seems like a lot of effort to maintain uptime and security of a service like this as scale, when errors would potentially keep people locked out of essential services. A system that requires a one-time download of a user-specific secret key, which can then be used to interact with the service provider directly, would be much more scalable...

The clocks should show 4:45PM in Spain if the TZ was right (same as UK), and even so it would still be mostly red-white with barely any green. Poland appears white-green in the map, to have a bit of red it should be in a 1/2 TZ like India.

Minimum daylight (winter) in Warsaw is 7h 42m [0] and in Madrid 9h 17m [1]. Maximum (summer) is 16h 47m and 15h 4m. That is due to latitude and unavoidable. The exact numbers for sunset and sunrise are pushed around by the TZ choices.

Guessing this has to do with how China tends to turn a blind eye (although increasingly less so) to copyright and more importantly trademark infringement issues of Western intellectual properties...perhaps Unity have tried to get some Chinese developers to remove things like Marvel characters, or Mickey Mouse and it's been ignored.

I think this is actually quite interesting when Unity itself has recently posted a tutorial on using its AI tools for the AI generation of a Nintendo character called Ness (main character in an old Snes game called Earthbound if you're not familiar)...seems a bit of a double standard if the complaint IS in fact in relation to trademark infringements.

> is within reach of Iran's capabilities

Analysts have been playing fast and loose with this phrase. Within reach assuming no air defenses and able to be struck are separate. I believe Iran could hit this infrastructure if it were undefended. It’s not practically able to due to air defenses. (Iran already targeted the small Gulf states’ airports. Given how much food they import by air, that’s an attempted blockade strike.)

It’s the IT career requirement to keep abreast of everything in tech while being cursed to know most of it is various forms of unnecessary for the supermajority of IT/Enterprise use cases. A few highlights:

* Most infrastructure does not need Kubernetes. Your ERP doesn’t need Helm charts, your internal Confluence doesn’t need HA K8s clusters, your Grafana is cheaper on ECS than GKE, and your zScaler estate flatly doesn’t support it. Kubernetes is amazingly awesome but the equivalent of using nuclear weapons to go duck hunting for most folks.

* AI, for all its power and capability, is too unreliable for wholesale automation - especially when you can just use it to generate the code or software to run the same automations infinitely with deterministic outputs. Your entire org doesn’t need Claude Code Pro Max 20x subs, you just need to get better at getting the code needed for infinite repetition without the AI sub

* Your fridge, oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster oven, furnace filter, and dishwasher don’t need WiFi, Bluetooth, or Cloud Connectivity. They just don’t.

* Public Cloud didn’t let you reduce your infrastructure headcount, but it did make it easier for shadow IT to consume more spend, make your headcount more expensive and specialized, and put your infrastructure eggs in the same basket as millions of others, which surely will never become a problem. (/s)

* If you can run basic infra (compute, VPCs, storage, networking) for one public cloud provider, you can run them all. If you’re requiring Architect certs just to run VMs in a landing zone, you’re spending way too much for way too little.

* VLANs and a firewall are enough for 90% of use cases. The only reason you need a NGFW for layer 7 filtering is because vendors stopped publishing what IP ranges, FQDNs, and ports their stuff uses, and that’s less a justification for NGFW’s and more a damning indictment of shitty security practices industry-wide.

* VMs are fine. Containers are nice and efficient, but VMs are still perfectly fine. I am tired of having this conversation with folks who don’t know what containers do but think they’re God’s answer to the myriad of faults of VMs (that they also can’t identify)

* You don’t need Ansible, Terraform, CloudFormation, or Pulumi to “automate” workflows. Oftentimes all you need are cronjobs and webhooks, rather than another whole-ass set of sludgepipes.

* You don’t need a data lake, you need to do a better job identifying which data points are meaningful in a context and capturing them efficiently.

I love technology. I love learning about technology. I love solving problems with technology.

I hate the insistence that everything be maximally technological in nature and that every product must be adopted in order to not be left behind.

I hate the lack of discipline, is what I’m saying.

I can't quite believe how bad Apple Music is. I will say this for Apple, when I tried out Music on a brand new Mac and it didn't work properly, I got to chat to a real support person who walked me through fixing it.

It shouldn't have been broken though. It shouldn't be a native app written by Apple that feels worse to use than both Spotify and YouTube music. I mean, I open it now just to see if there's anything janky and yeah. "Get 3 months for $5.99" and then below that "Get 3 months for $8.99" and you'd have to scroll and read much smaller text to see that the second one is for family - I mean that's reasonably obvious but it's weirdly unpolished. And then the play bar, which is floating around, looks unintegrated with the app, obscures the content area, and provides enabled controls that do nothing because there is no song to play. Not broken, but UX stuff that shows a lack of care.
