Nicely done @microsoft.com - the new Scalar integration in .net 10

The trick William Potter is not minding that it hurts.

Hulu, Paramount Plus, almost all were canceled last summer and tbh, I don't miss any of them. I am more productive and most of the programming was filler. My audible subscription is getting used and I am better for it.

CBS has become state regime media.

When the cracks manifest in the system seemingly out of no-where - these will have missed it likely from a feedback loop internally of paying their fees and incorrect incentives.. a story as old as time.

When you close your eye with your favorite song that you drove too. What car are you driving? What was the weather like in that moment? What was the smell in the air? Crisp, breezy, was it morning, afternoon, evening? A great pair of headphones can bring it back so vividly…

AI doesn't replace human judgment. It scales it. Which means the education gap between the US and China is about to get a lot wider.

Mexico’s $2.8B tomato industry just walked away from the U.S. market. After Washington slapped a 17% tariff on fresh tomatoes, Mexico refused to pay, and rerouted nearly half its exports to Canada. American prices rise, Canadian shelves fill. Trade policy has consequences.

Azure optimizes for policy compliance, not ergonomics

It’s why I like the @theguardian.com

Read this. Then read it again.

When dominant groups perceive declining relative power, history shows they often seek to roll back universalism in favor of exclusion, while insisting they are defending tradition, order, or neutrality. Why does this matter not only in practice? 1/4

🧪Theobromine (the main psychoactive in #cocoa) is associated with slower aging Years ago, I published on how #theobromine improves mood and blood pressure, so nice to see these benefits extend to #aging as well (bring on the #hotchocolate) www.aging-us.com/article/2063...

RIP Rob Reiner... thank you for the Princess Bride, my go to movie when sick regardless of how old I am.

Some of the most exciting work in longevity right now is happening around aptamers and senescent cells. Senescent cells aren’t inherently bad; they’re part of regular repair and cancer suppression, but when they linger, they poison surrounding tissue through chronic inflammation. 1/3

Half as much, but twice as elegant, sweetheart.

"It is the nature of dreams that they give us more than we ask"~Carl Jung Not bound by the economy of speech or the politics of self-presentation, the subconscious has no incentive to persuade, impress, or defend. It simply expresses. 1/3

A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/a-breakthr...

New results are in from the huge, underground LZ experiment: We really, really, really have not found dark matter. LZ is so sensitive that it can see neutrinos! But still no sign of the hypothetical WIMP dark matter it was designed to detect. 🔭🧪 sanfordlab.org/news/lz-sets...

Think your brain sees the world clearly? Think again.🔍🧪 @alexdainis.bsky.social explains that your eyes use cues like motion parallax, where closer objects appear to move faster, and converging lines to estimate distance and size.

The irony is hard to miss: at the moment ordinary people finally gain asymmetric power, they’re mobilized to protest the very infrastructure, data centers, compute, scalable intelligence, that could allow them to reset the equation. 1/3

History rarely offers a moment when ordinary people gain asymmetric tools capable of reshaping power itself. Today is one of those moments. With AI, open systems, and distributed networks, society finally has the means to loosen the grip that billionaire elites have held for generations.

China's underground scene reminds me of a different time - same vibe, different culture. If the pattern is the same, they are late 80's early 90's which may also be a reflection of their economic evolution.

Watching the world attempt to wean itself off oil feels like watching a heroin addict make yet another promise to quit, solemn declarations followed by predictable relapse. The technology exists. The solutions are known. What we lack is the collective will. 1/7

Someone is fixing all their technical debt... like to see that inference bill - who says AI isn't generating revenue LOL. Obviously not the people actually doing work WITH AI.

Even our viruses are assuming the K moniker

Zillow has deleted climate risk scores from US home listings. That means less information for buyers — but research raises doubts about the accuracy of such predictions.

This is kinda humorous because China has already made a state mandate to remove NVIDIA from purchases. That is the US backpedaling after realizing they F* up.

We’re told we’re living through a new chapter of the Cold War. But the real failure is that our species is still fighting over imaginary lines, borders that serve no purpose except to satisfy the fragile egos of the men who crave power. 1/2

Some say heroes are born, others say they are made, but heroes are forged, choice by choice, by the burdens they refuse to set down.

Until you choose what you truly want, every step risks taking you in the wrong direction.
