I had no idea, or had forgotten, that the Trojan Room Coffee Pot people went on to found DisplayLink (but I think I did remember that they were involed in vnc. And one of them was the computer office at my old college!) I will also always have room in my heart for ORL.

He understands now that he's going to die here. He's going too fast and too far for help to reach him. The pain in his head and his spine are getting worse. He's pretty sure driving blood pressure higher while having a stroke is considered poor form.

Tech platforms are designed to measure number and make number go up, at scale. Seems like a great fit for the aspiring authoritarian.

somewhat surprised they didn't pivot into building a whole bunch of datacenters in a Line

Honestly the warmer ChatGPT-5.1 sounds like someone who'd encourage your ideation even more and support your decision which is indistinguishable from A COMPANY THAT WANTS TO HELP KILL PEOPLE BY SUICIDE

Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun To Be With

Metcalfe's Law but make it about Epstein's capacity for networking people

xContext Collapse (ROU) oTrust and Safety (GSV) I hope you know all the lyrics to everything.

Finished my habitual comfort re-read of Peter Watts' Blindsight so now I'm starting on another comfort re-read of Gibson's Peripheral.

In the 80s and 90s, newspapers (well, tabloids) in the UK would run countdowns and front page articles for when child actresses would turn 16 or 18.

science fiction fans: oh jeez imagine if the epstein drive were real what kind of future would we live in science fiction fans: that's not what we meant but we'll take it

it's on miro. it's literally on figma. you have to log into okta. it's in jira. it's on zoom. it's on pureref. it's on flow. it's on perforce. it's on slack. you can find it on slack. you can go to slack and find it. log onto slack right now. you can slack it. slack has it for you. it's on slack.

Only WiFi antennae with real gold connectors will give you a warmer-sounding ChatGPT-5.1

A computer (OK, fine, maybe something like the Steam Machine Cube for Games) that monitors temperature *and* fan RPM and when appropriate tells you it's time to break out that can of compressed air for a squirt.

Presumably the NYT haughtily considers itself above publishing anything so much as tawdry photographs of bikini-clad girls or women in kitchens

wait we should check with grok

GSV DO NOT REPEAT THIS INSIGHT

To convince all the normies, someone's fed the latest batch of Epstein emails into ChatGPT and asked it whether Trump could be impeached, right? Because AI is so smart and should be trusted?

I'm doing research on Direct File at the moment, and DOGE people at IRS did not understand that they were firing the best tech talent *because all of those were probationary.* We still don't have a good number of how many people were purged and under what conditions. Fells like we should know that.

excited to see that James Cameron has offered to babysit the kids at a relatively reasonable rate (excluding concessions)

Ugh now I remember last time insta was full of Meta AI aurora images

Went outside and it was too cloudy

I still don't understand why Music in macOS Tahoe has the control bar -- which also means what's playing -- at the *bottom* of the window.

Amazon / Bond PR team rub hands, clock off early for the pub "well that went well!"

I wonder what Costco's policy is going to be on return Roombas if they all get bricked.

Counterpoint: a Hawaiian Bond would rock so hard

Like pizza, people find it hard to agree on which is best. Similarly, the question of pineapple on Bond has proven to be violently divisive.

NYT: JESUS FUCK, WHAT NOW? AS DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC

ok this is something I wonder if devs/publishers don’t get when they’re stingy with codes late in judging. the reason you are getting asked for more codes is because judges have been Intrigued. this can lead to awards or at the least some people championing it & helping get eyes on it!

if one were to customize a uhhhh streaming website what would one want to customize? right now i have this.

Our family health insurance (2 adults, 2 kids) cost $2,291/month this year. I'm excited to find out how much it's going to increase!

As someone who pays attention to words, Netflix's guide "Using Generative AI in Content Production" has * 6 shoulds * 4 musts * 6 do nots eg "Generation of Key Creative Elements: GenAI should not be used to generate main characters..." partnerhelp.netflixstudios.com/hc/en-us/art...

15 year car loan deals are a juicing the economy numbers thing right

Did he even get to do his book tour?!?!

Yes, it is a wildly complex concept.

Even if we did have the time to do so, can you imagine what that would be like with health insurance companies creating shadow providers?

New at Can We Still Govern? New Medicaid work requirements will see an estimated 5 million lose coverage. Small investments in in-house tech capacity could allow states to start preparing now to expand automatic renewal of clients. Here is the evidence 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-a-van-...
