The gap between AI hype and reality is nowhere more obvious than with voice assistants used by banks.

Excited to see the Senate pass S.3971 reauthorizing SBIR/STTR through 2031. The program has been essential to derisk @weathervane.app and pursue a sustainable business model for weathervane.io

“If it hits you, it’s just not your day.” 90% of people struck by lightning survive but many have lifelong injuries. We still see around 20 deaths from lightning every year in the U.S. We’ve seen 5 deaths in the U.S. in September alone.

Why does it take @metrotransitmn.bsky.social an entire year to test SW Light Rail prior to service starting? Haven’t we learned from Blue Line and Green Line projects, building in efficiencies?

Bill Moyers and his journal subjects widened and deepened my world in ways that language can barely convey. I am forever grateful for his insightful and humble example as an interviewer, elevating questions more than ego. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/b...

My decision to install a rain cistern, French drains, and dry wells in my yard for flash flood storage is paying dividends as multiple inches of rain fall in the Twin Cities today. AMA

Heads up Minnesota! Canadian wildfire smoke near the surface in NE MN and higher up in the atmosphere throughout the state.

User interaction design drives outcomes AI models primarily use a text or speech interface. Type what you want and it types back. Say what you want it talks back. This is fancy, a breakthrough, a little showy. And if the user brings the right skills, it's an extraordinary way to interact. But the…
