As a care giver for ~90 year old parents, I get a lot of criticism for the way I do things. But one that always makes me have to hide a smile is using too large a piece of cling wrap on my mother's leftover wine at the end of dinner.

AI is weirdly badly sold. I mean, orthogonally to whether it and/or its proponents are good or bad. Let’s put that aside for a moment. Keeping the guy constant, Elon selling space is like FINAL FRONTIER GALACTIC SPECIES DISCOVERY and selling AI, he’s like “I taught a racist robot to steal your job.”

Did you know eyedrops expire? Asking for a friend who put in some eyedrops last night and they kind of hurt and when I looked at the bottle they'd expired 5 years ago.

this appears to be the one thing of importance I missed by not watching the superbowl

Everyone should subscribe to @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social It only comes out when there's news so it doesn't take much of your time unless it's important. It's incredibly informative, has hosts who are deeply familiar with the subject matter, yet is blessedly free of alarmism and doom.

sometimes it's confusing when you're interested in reading both about role playing games AND rocket-propelled grenades

People don't much think about what The Internet was like before search engines. You found out about cool sites by surfing links on other sites, from Usenet, and even from magazine articles. The first time I visited the CIA World Factbook was during this era. It was a good one.

The Trump administration is demanding @upenn.edu (my alma mater) a list of all Jewish faculty, staff, and students Personally, I don't care why they're asking for this list of names, because no reason would make it any less chilling. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

jhc these people apologizing for their "association" with Epstein. NOBODY WANTS AN APOLOGY FOR ASSOCIATING. I WANT YOU TO HELP ARREST THE GODDAMN PEDOPHILES. WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING?

This guy on NBC interviewing Trump isn't even throwing him softballs, he's throwing him little satin heart-shaped cushions.

Wild to go from using copilot in vs code to editing contact info in ios. I entered the first letter of the (large) city and waited for it to autocomplete the city, state, and zipcode. It didn't. It's like having to back up a car without a camera, or be in a specific place to answer a telephone.

My philosophy of writing and updating bugs/stories/tickets is to make a good-faith effort to include all the information that the next person to look at it will need to make a decision about how to proceed.

My coworker (who speaks Japanese) just got back from Japan talking to prospective customers and he said when they asked him if it could also do this task or that task he said "No." I said I'd heard it was very rude to say "No" in Japanese and he explained "Well, I said it in English!" 😆

I don't *like* this old Orwell quote. I don't *endorse* it. I'm *uncomfortable* with it, but it's so similar I have to dust it off again.

I work on site, so I drive to work something like 200 days a year. 3 or 4 times a year, my iphone notifies me (after I've arrived) that my car is parked near "work." Is it a software feature that's only 2% reliable? Or perhaps an emergent benevolent AI, slowly assembling itself in Apple's cloud?

This is both an explainer on Carney's lauded speech at Davos and expands on it in thought provoking ways.

The suspect was found the next day, in a completely different county. He had never been at Avery and Alisa's home, and there was absolutely zero reason to believe he had been. These officer should not get qualified immunity.

my one exception to not wanting to see dead actors in new movies is R. Lee Ermey. In the future I want as many movies as possible to have an AI-generated rant where R. Lee Ermey explains the brutal facts of life to the rest of the cast. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ab_t...

My new job is for a company that does work on construction sites so I have to take some OSHA training. In addition to technical details, I feel like I am getting the vibe of construction work now.

I've made my lock-screen clock display on my phone readable again after the recent iOS update. If you're in the Greater Houston Area I am now pleased to offer this as a service for $50. DM me for appointment times. (yes this is a joke, just like anyone who still says Apple products are intuitive)

EPSTEIN UPDATE: today I’m expanding my follow-the-money investigation of Epstein’s financing by examining his transactions at another Wall Street Bank, BNY Mellon.

The exodus to Florida will be insane. "I just don't see any light at the end of the tunnel for Cuba to survive the next few months facing zero deliveries of oil from Venezuela," said Jorge Pinon, an energy researcher at the University of Texas at Austin. "The situation is going to be catastrophic."

You know how many people (since I joined bsky) have shown up in my comments or the comments of people I follow with racist, sexist, violent, ignorant, insulting, trolling or just simply mean stuff? I can't think of any. That doesn't mean it's never happened, but it's orders of magnitude less.
