I agree. There is no wiggle room here. If this is the emergency we claim it is, we sure better act that way! (2022) IPCC WGIII Chap. 5: www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

Immigration Courts aren't fully independent courts, and that should change

We are so early

One peace, please.

Protests and journalism work!

Empty seats in crowded public transportation are wasted seats. It increases crowding next to the doors and slows down circulation. If no one needs a seat, seat yourself. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Microsoft used China-based engineers to maintain Pentagon cloud systems for years. After ProPublica blew the whistle, the DoD finally banned the practice. New rules require U.S.-based experts and digital audit trails.

Hypothetically, could Jackson, Sotomayor, and Kagan stop referring applications for stay coming from the 1st, 2nd and 9th circuits to the full court as a way to slow down the crumbling of US institutions?

Strongly recommend any US dual citizens to reflect on what are your plans. Don't forget that if you decide to relinquish your US citizenship, you will have to pay an exit tax.

Lukewarm take: there are no live demo failures. Only leadership failures of not moving slower and not overworking your employees beyond the breaking point.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

Not really brutalist but Seattle has some awesome fire station architecture. www.seattle.gov/fire/about-u...

Weekend fun: I just let the magic smoke out of a potentiometer and LED sensor.

Little compliance secret for you: SOC I, II or III *Type 1* compliance means it's a point in time check. You can't fail a Type 1 audit. Just tweak your processes a bit, shift the date and redo the audit. Once auditors are happy you can stop doing whatever you were audited for.

While understandable given the rise of AI scrapers, it’s sad to see the open web dying a little each day. Future generations won’t realize how much they’ve lost.

Do you yearn for the old Internet? Might I suggest hobby metal machining? These are some of the top websites I use. Functional, fast, intuitive. Makes me nostalgic.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

I'm dabbling in Figma for the first time to layout a the dashboard in the picture. It seems to be a perfect candidate for CSS grid. Am I reading correctly that Figma only added support for grid layout guides only this year?? The CSS grid spec is 18 years old! uxdesign.cc/figmas-new-g...

While societies grapple with the imminent need for universal basic income and understand what is the future in a post-labor economy progressives should focus on slashing the work week to 12 to 20h with same salary.

Weekend fun: reverse engineering a CNC remote controller protocol so I can treat a CNC milling machine as if it were manual. First non-trivial project I am creating with Claude Code. github.com/pedropaulovc...

Grande dia! 🇧🇷

I quit my job at Microsoft. It's time for No Azure for Apartheid. I would have not done this if other braver souls had not shown publicly their dissatisfaction with the company by protesting corporate events and sending email blasts to all employees. Free Gaza!

Kudos to the Anthropic team for the honesty, this made me laugh www.anthropic.com/research/pro...

Feels like ranked choice was absolutely decisive in this race—not because of the vote count, but because of how it changed the incentives from zero-sum to cooperapetitive. It allowed a fractured left field to align organically through co-endorsements instead of falling into a circular firing squad.

I love you Seattle. #abolishice #nokings

Time to show up, Seattle!

100% agree with Demis here. We need more non-technologists thinking about AI!

sisyphus at daily standup: i had to roll back some changes

Sebastião Salgado, a celebrated Brazilian photographer whose striking images of humanity and nature in the Amazon rainforest and beyond won him some of the world’s top honors and made him a household name, has died at 81.

VEO3 Prompt: “a man doing stand up comedy in a small venue tells a joke (include the joke in the dialogue)” The video and audio are generated together.

Big: The final version of a randomized, controlled World Bank study finds using a GPT-4 tutor with teacher guidance in a six week afterschool program in Nigeria had "more than twice the effect of some of the most effective interventions in education" ("equating to 1.5 to 2 years" of standard school)

Do you also try to reverse engineer Amazon's logistics network by looking at their shipping labels or are you fun?

A sad day for my fellow Microsofties. We are going through dark times and I wish you have the time to mourn what was but also the tenacity to be prepared for what will be.

Hasan is a US Citizen. From the ACLU: If you are a U.S. citizen or lawful perm. resident, you do not have to answer questions about your religious beliefs and practices or political opinions, and you cannot be denied entry to the United States for declining to answer www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

Elbows up!

We are witnessing the death of American soft power in real time.

Life in 2025 is pure cognitive dissonance. We have science fiction level artificial intelligence and rockets that gently come back to the launch pad and vaccines for a new virus months after discovery and disinformation, fascism and measles.

How about we channel all this anger into standing up for democracy, huh?

These Economist covers are seared in the Brazilian mind.

When you ask the engineers if we’re going to hit the deadline and the chat says “…” for five minutes.

It sure is performative but it's better than abject apathy that Dems have showed so far.

Do you feel prepared to live in a post-scarcity world, where you work, say, 12h a week and make the same amount of money? What would you do with your free time?
