It's been a good six months and I just mentioned it to someone again, so I am once again bumping the Dupuytren's/Ledderhose PSA about radiotherapy. If you get this diagnosis and your doctor tells you to wait because there's no treatment, they are actively fucking you over! Do not let them!

From climbing on roofs, to falling out of trees, to flying airplanes off of ships and rockets into space, I’m kind of shocked both of us made it this far. Happy Birthday, Scott.

But the Dark-eyed junco didn't immediately fly off after that exchange. For the next few minutes it ate seeds, all while watching me from the side. There was a bit of dancing involved too. North Texas #photography #birds #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #Texas #backyardbirds

This is completely correct other than the infrastructure not existing. I think people need to realize WHY this is happening is because, for example, NVIDIA sells GB200 NVL72s (racks of 72 GPUs) with *17TB of RAM* and likely over 500TB of storage.

If you ask a Mexican person if the food they're eating is spicy, you cannot trust the answer. You might hear "a little", "it has spice", or the classic: "No, it's not spicy at all." For years, I thought this was a national inside joke. The truth is much weirder and retrospectively obvious (1/x)

No wonder Hollywood is mad. This is an IP infringement bonanza. It’s also amazing that you can make things like this with just text prompts.

I was recently asked what it takes to be a successful senior product manager. It boils down to these skills. The ability to 1. Organize and lead large teams without authority 2. Understand and relay the perspective of executive leadership 3. Establish yourself as an independent decision maker

1/ Immigration enforcement is impacting people’s health. It’s a public health issue. ICE raids and deportations don’t only affect the people directly targeted. The health impacts ripple through families, schools, clinics, and entire communities.

I’m writing about this right now and should be doing that instead of this. However this poem tracks with what I’m processing. I don’t really understand all the performative closure stuff we do culturally. It seems enough for me to know I’m done.

In earlier days lazy-minded people had the same problem, which is that they wanted credit for work but they didn’t want to actually do the work. If they were popular or strong, they could bully a studious kid into doing their homework. Very common scenario. Now tech has given them an easier solve.

This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

Absolutely wild pink nitrogen ribbon aurora burst last night here in Iceland. There was cloud cover, and I was worried the show would stay shrouded. Voila!
