1. AirPods case should use an accelerometer to detect free fall and temporarily engage a locking mechanism (i.e. electromagnet) until stationary. 2. There should be a configuration option that causes it to make the FindMy sound until you pick it up off the ground.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

I guess that's one way for @mayorkwilson.bsky.social to end his political career...?

Exactly what I was saying the other day. Gonna get real weird.

This is lovely. youraislopbores.me

Yes. The pseudoscience never stays in a box, medieval peasant brain is never contained. You can’t let this shit in the tent. We did the ‘well they’re not like *right*, but the people they’re angry at *are* bad, so what’s *really* the harm…” with woo-woo shit and it contributed to HHS Sec. RFK Jr.

AI encourages and accelerates reduction of entropy, reversion to the mean, etc. Therefore, I have resolved to become increasingly chaotic.

folks at work were excited about Opus 4.7

If I could have one superpower, it would be making close friends as an adult.

It would be a bummer if we were betting our entire economy on this uptime

there's a new trend among young people called "microliving" they close their eyes for a few seconds and experience a rich and fulfilling life from start to finish in their minds. birth. friendship. love. heartbreak. joy. loss. grief. death. but how does this affect their productivity at work

Hate it when I accidentally end up at Pirates of the Caribbean when I actually meant to go to Pirates of the Caribbean

Hey look! One of my predictions from a few years ago came true – ethics donors for AI: www.wsj.com/tech/ai/anth...

This is the worst possible time to announce this, but: I'm looking for a new job! ✨ If you (or someone you know) is looking to hire, I love software engineering, design (IxD and UI), and electrical engineering.

My friend @kriskowal.com just released Yay! In his words, it's "more than JSON, less than YAML, and better for it" – and exactly what I'm looking for. kriskowal.com/yay

A reminder that Twitter's "X Chat" implementation involves the client trusting the key storage server and as such it can easily be subverted. Signal does not, and can't

the world turns strange in a geomagnetic storm. fixed things slide loose. all is malleable, just a little bit, if we will it to shift in our favor. we hope and dream and pray and wish as our field is assaulted by sunstuff, bowing and shrieking, guiding heavy radiation down into the air

People talk a lot about how Miyazaki has a thing about flying and airplanes and stuff but his other thing is pretty clearly: Getting Yelled At By An Animal

Just involuntarily let out a yelp as I accidentally closed a browser window filled with tabs (my precious tabs!!!)

What's that rummaging noise in the kitchen? Oh, right. It's my ADHD partner using a fork as a comb because they forgot their comb at work (?).

Another year, another bill from the domain registrar for w-e-l-p.com

The atomic ensemble time scale at the NIST Boulder campus has failed.

Let's just nip this one in the bud, shall we? andrewmccalip.com/space-datace... Space datacenters are *possible,* but not much else. We can still avoid this being the next bubble, and ruining our night sky because of it.

Today I wrote about the Thoughtful Gesture Industrial Complex--new things people are expected to buy to be good spouses, partners or parents--and the fact that almost all of this is astroturfed from TikTok. www.cartoonshateher.com/p/dont-get-s...

Smoked that Transvaal Starlink pronatalist zaza, now I'm counting photons using 1.2 megapixel cameras. 10-K filing built like Jason Calacanis. I'm in the club claiming Saudi funding like I've never heard of a bonesaw. I don't care how many monkeys I gotta kill for it, I NEED Twitter inside my brain

Bad for Discourse and also bad for all the people who might get Chernobyl'd that the ending of "we should have more nuclear power" has gone from "by making it easier for Westinghouse and Bechtel to build them" to "by gutting the NRC at a Trumpy shitco's behest" www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Unfortunately I don’t believe in using the word “zoomies,” but yes. Your dog is popping off.

I know a lot of people (cough Millennials) feel like they need to START a thing, START a food bank, build a little free food pantry. My friends, my loves, my dears. Don't start. JOIN. These exist. They have community ties! They have some funding! Accountability! Regulations!

My insurance increased my deductible by $2000, removed all out of network coverage, doubled my maximum out-of-pocket, and doubled all my co-pays — but thankfully they’re only charging me an extra $70 a month for the privilege. 🥲👍

this hit closer to home than I’m comfortable with

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

@bennjordan.bsky.social Just finished watching your most recent YouTube video on infrasound! It would be fun to collaborate on some hardware for taking those distributed measurements – maybe something with a GPS-disciplined local clock, power, storage, etc? 🤘
