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

Faustian Bargain Basement

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

space, a famously good environment to reject waste heat into

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.

Try Razzledazzlam® today; they'll never catch wise.

Me, British Dad: In America tomato sauce is ketchup, aubergine is an egg plant and Rocket is Arugula 5yo: I wanna go to space in an Arugula Me: *rubs temples*

what is a rotating sandwiches collab and where do I find it in Microsoft Teams

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...

good doggy 🥲

Cuomo is gonna run a Florida HOA like its the fuckin navy

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

every few hours the 3d printer in my living room spits out another batch of these thicc spooky bois

before you try to slide into my DMs, just know i'm built like this

Deeply-satisfying air-powered three-inverter ring oscillator for a future robot salamander 😍🦎 www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJdB...

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? 🤘

My interest rate has never been lower.

No, I don’t think that’s right; studies have in fact found that the optimal keyboard design is one where every keystroke mimics the tactile sensation of pressing a human tongue

Wait until they hear about open source software 😬

left: bicycle for the mind right: unicycle for the mind

why did the Eyewitness intro video have to go so hard www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGhK...

I love to push a button and receive a pellet. A delicious treat for me? Might as well push it again. If it gives me a small electric shock once in a while, well, that's just the cost of doing business

Of course not. He just realized it was becoming bad for PR, plus investors at Tesla were mad at him.

Who called it The United Kingdom and not Britzerland

🎵 Makin my way downtown slidin' fast chickens pass and I'm homebound b-b-b-b-b-b-bawk bawk bok bok bok 🎶

TIL that my bidet has - about 20 feet of range - a straight shot to my bedroom - "clean nozzle" and "activate" controls that are far too unambiguous

You ever think about how the hole in your bagel is just a datum that you use to reassemble the bagel enclosure after installing components…?

A piece of collateral damage in this new age is lack of understanding of the value of infrastructure. Quality infrastructure takes creativity, it’s fascinating, it’s crucial. We’ve lost the plot, relegating it to being described as a cost center. Infrastructure is muscle, infrastructure is bone.

I can't make you care about other people. But the fact that you refuse to is a fucking problem, man.

Everything's a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works.

Regulations are technology. If you sufficiently advance them, they allow society to grow by controlling and reducing harm to the population. Like any technology, they require maintenance. This is apparently a hot take, for some reason.

The room I want to be in right now is the one where people are trying to build a commercial case for replicating the incredible amount of infrastructure that NOAA has deployed across the US (and around the world). "What if we all shared infrastructure and collectively paid like, some sort of fee"

There is literally no ethical use of genAI. 🔥 It's built on theft. 🔥 It consumes vast environmental resources. 🔥 It consumes vast financial resources to support it. No company currently touting their "ethical" genAI has attempted to address all three. Once they do then MAYBE a discussion begins.

The studies coming out showing using genAI is making people less capable of critical thinking, lonelier and increasingly dependent on it is pretty funny when you think about every booster for it going on and on about how it makes you a megagenius with an infinite competitive edge
