Cloudflare's CSAM scanning tool now makes NCMEC reporting easier. Could be a simple baseline option for AT app devs needing an image CDN for untrusted media blobs

I agree and even more so: what if the problem is us, the Ruby community, not contributing to our key nonprofit enough? We did not have ownership because we didn’t show up, and RC ended up being squeezed by a big donor because they did not have enough sponsors, stability and support.

I was hoping to talk to Isaac fucking Chotiner about my dogs

Another win for "Fuck you. Make me."

Chotiner interviews Janeway

in other words he’s not at all anti elon - was a tesla board member, in fact

great story but this quote is from someone who sucks at making it clear how verrrrrry aligned & alike & involved in each other’s business musk & ellison are

So much for a soft launch…the cat's out of the bag. I just hope it doesn't get my mascot. 😅 quietui.org 🐭 Built from scratch, I've released my personal creative outlet under a source-available license for folks to use and learn from. I’d love to hear what you think!

just a normal thing that a US company expects the US president to come after it personally

On the one hand, some talking about what the gov must do On the other, a company with the money to do so (parent TATA) didn’t get insurance for a common modern day risk Meanwhile many face tough situations they couldn’t prepare for and the gov support isn’t there because ‘fiscal responsibility’

Kimmel blacked out in 23% of the US. Gets record ratings of more than six million.

I’ve summed up Trump’s 53 page UN complaint manifesto in one easy to understand image

Danish police: “We don't know whether these drones are the same as the ones that were sighted in Copenhagen on Monday.” And: if it is safe to do so the police will “take the drones out”.

Don’t get me wrong, it continues to be very scary that the Trump administration keeps desperately trying to create Reichstag fires and Horst Wessel Power Hours, it’s just also very noticeable that they somehow keep failing to stick the landing.

I am - in principle - in favour of industrial policy. Because I think explicitly not favouring certain sectors usually actually ends up favouring certain sectors by accident. But I do fear that what we call ‘industrial policy’ often comes down to ‘giving private firms money’. on.ft.com/42FjS1w

If you speak Dutch and English and are in NL, my friend and collaborator Roderick Gadellaa's company is hiring a senior frontend engineer. Honestly this sounds like an incredible gig: decorrespondent.homerun.co/senior-front...

big sigh

great. more misinformation is exactly what they world needs right now

You better believe I'm putting a slide in this Princeton talk about this discovery. (Aside, there's a whole book to be written about researchers who know they will never be given the benefit of the doubt and thus do substantial amounts of "additional" work to ensure their research is strong.)

everyone: we want sovereign data and an EU technology industry EU: we have a technology industry at home that can do sovereign data everyone: technology industry or just SAP again?

during the first class this term, we asked students if they prefer to set up their own group chat on whatsapp or signal, and they unanimously went with signal 😊

Unsolicited job suggestion from LinkedIn -- "Personality & Behavior Tutor" for xAI (i.e. Grok). Hard to imagine a role I want less or would be fired from more quickly.

this is the exact same 'really they made me do' head shaving meme justification that silicon valley folks sold to Levy for his rather milquetoast takedown in Wired - yes, not being fawned over hurts their egos but hitting them in the wallet and reputation REALY hurts

This isn't to say "Argentina is a super-reliable geopolitical partner" (although Milei is among the most genuinely Trumpian world leaders) but rather that there isn't a single "Argentina" agent at play here doing a quick betrayal. 2/

Feels like many of my followers would enjoy knowing that the Deaf community tends to be very queer-positive and that even "mainstream" apps teach LGBTQ+ terms, etc. But also, yeah, I know some of you -- even hearies -- are gonna be using these screenshots in non-ASL conversations, heh. 🤟

Plot twist. apnews.com/article/doge...

The End Times communities I grew up in has all kinds of doctrinal schisms but the anti-tech stuff cut across all of them. We didn’t have credit cards or computers and I didn’t get registered for a Social Security number specifically bc of surveillance fears and that was normal in those circles.

Could someone with the right background please explain to reporters how this is a very intentional attempt to reverse the traditionally strongly anti-tech and anti-surveillance aspects of Christian millenarianism, because I‘m afraid it may matter.

every time you think of the famous cartoon org chart for Microsoft, remember the artist (Manu Cornet) put org charts for 5 other tech companies in the same cartoon and the one for Oracle is 👩‍🍳💋 bonkersworld.net/organization...

Odysseus had his crew lash him to the mast to keep him from doing an interview with Chotiner.

A: If we go light on the Patroclus part, I wouldn't complain.

Chotiner: So you ate a bunch of Hrothgar's warriors while-- Grendel: while they were asleep, yes C: And you did this why? G: You have to understand that the sounds of joy bring me pain. Always have. C: Always? G: Ever since I was a young monster.

The new version of "sounds fake but OK."

We would not expect the UK-France deal to start to have a deterrent effect while up to 50/week (estimated 1 in 17 chance of return). Though four returns and three arrivals mean the first days of this pilot make it bigger than Rwanda (0 returns; 4 voluntary departures; no route intended; £750m)

Positing digital and media literacy as a solution to a poisoned information ecosystem that reward flagrant lying is akin to suggesting that reducing individual energy use will solve the climate crisis. Obviously important, but also an individual solution for a collective, structural problem.

First family of three people came to UK to claim asylum under UK-French deal on safe routes for returns, after first 4 people returned to France. If this pilot can scale up in coming weeks/months, has potential to become the orderly + humane alternative we need to dangerous journeys+smuggling gangs

local models mean your data doesn't leave the device so no worries about if it gets used for training; having the local models in the OS as a service makes it easier for developers to use them in apps

1. Scott invented the first home sous vide machine 2. it’s generally a well designed knife blade with good steel and good construction 3. no moving parts, proven commercial technology added to a home application.

did some early marketing consult on this thing and it’s very much a good viable product. he did incredible knife testing work during the development of it. seattleultrasonics.com/pages/knife-...

It sucks that potentially good stuff is probably getting overlooked pretty frequently because of how the tech industry has so firmly aligned itself with obvious scams

/17 I learned from the experience. Not about how to manage depression; I was stupid about that for a long time. But I started to learn about judges and similar actors yelling at me: I can‘t control how they act, but I can control how I react. Aside from fainting I mean.

if you can remember this, you will never get 'to eke out' wrong again: they're both from eken "to increase, lengthen, add on" so you're adding on something - to the name or whatever else you haven't got enough of

would love for what's happening to NYT, Disney, and Target become a trend

The averge millionaire in the US is a dealership owner.

So happy to hear that Maria Steen failed to get the nod to enter the Irish presidential race. For those of you who aren't aware, she is basically the Irish Catholic equivalent of an American evangelical. Be sickening if she even had a chance of getting nominated.

The two biggest contributors to upstream temporal_rs are the creator Kevin Ness as well as @manishearth.bsky.social 👍 @jason-williams.co.uk, creator of the Boa engine, began leading the effort two years ago with intent to make it portable enough to land in Chromium, inspired by @sffc.bsky.social

⚡ UPDATE ⚡ An hour after posting, Chrome revised their estimate on shipping TC39 Stage 3 Temporal to be Chromium 144. (This is still very welcome news! 😉) chromestatus.com/feature/5668...
