This is true in politics too. A political party becomes so invested in being the anti-the-other-party that they lose their own identity and forget to listen or observe the other side. Great read thank you!

Yeah fair. Esp when it comes to kids. Privacy should be kind of a big deal. But also agree that rest of the app is solid! We used it for 2 kids!

I thought the same thing when I got it (assuming you’re talking about huckleberry). I’m guessing it’s because the differentiated identities didn’t add that much value add and would complicate things like syncing 🤷‍♂️

Introducing the concept of “losing” to my 3yo. We gifted her a game today which involves more than 1 player and we just had to deal a lot with feelings of disappointment and loss. We know it’s something we have to teach but to watch it being learned from the beginning is so eye opening

It’s like using LOC or PR counts for determining how effective an engineer is. Probably worse tbh.

Went on X for a bit. I feel like I’m more attuned to AI stuff but not in a positive way. I come back to bsky and I feel like I’m less on the cutting edge but somehow feels more human and peaceful here.

My daughter (3) loves this song lol. She calls it the instrument song because of how all the instruments in it. The depth in some of ARs work is unmatched. And ofc wouldn’t be the same without Asha’s touch

I miss hand coding sometimes. Having 5 open tasks and constantly context switching and making high level decisions is exhausting. Need a min to just sit and make tiny satisfying decisions :/

me when claude keeps reverting my changes
Dana from the Pitt, in scrubs with a stethoscope, looks up at someone out of frame, to the right of Dr. Robby, in a hospital and says, “Can’t we just tell the agents to fuck off?” 
She’s referring to ICE agents present in the hospital. Out of focus staff and equipment are in the background behind her.

I also don’t understand the American obsession with SUVs. Like why? I am resisting so hard but my wife is also leaning toward it. And all our friends are on her side lol. I just don’t get it.

Was struggling to find my own words for this (still am). Coworker used binary language to define ai acceptance and I was uncomfortable with saying I’m very enthusiastic but also uncomfortable with saying I don’t believe it’s useful

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:
I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

The thing about the U.S. and Israel is that both of their leaders are trying to stay out of prison.

I don't think LLMs make work easier. They make work faster, and that is "better" for companies and give workers an approximation of ease bc of the apparent lack of labour. You're still accountable for the output, which makes you a details reviewer, which I often find harder w/o the original labour.

How do you make sure snippets in docs are tested? Or do you avoid putting snippets in docs and just point to full samples?
