Some of how this looked in practice: One trainer asked the learners in workshop for their ”schedule”. “Everybody has a schedule!,” you exclaim. Until you realize that a work schedule and a life schedule aren’t the same thing. And you might have a routine but it’s not structured as a schedule.

i have long tried to turn developers into product people — it's always been my thing, i was doing user-focused interface design talks at oscon in 2005, they let me create a whole new People track — but *monkey paw curls* lmao

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING. IT'S REAL. YOU CAN PRE-ORDER NOW!!!! amzn.to/4b2iESb

Hot take: I agree software has the potential to get better with AI systems. Evidence seems to suggest we're on our way there if not already there. The real question is whether more software is the solution to all of our problems.

eero is usually good for a dopamine hit… there’s nothing between his ears

Few remember the ancient bygone days of spring 2026, when we were reliably told by leading technology brothers that Anthropic was actually profitable (because Anthropic had said so and only stupid fools would doubt them).

My husband and his friends realised they thought they were good guys but still made like, ironic-sexist jokes. They introduced the 'sexism snake' where wherever one of them made a sexist comment or joke, the others would just start hissing. Didn't need to get into an argument about it, just hissing.

so wish i could go to bed at 6pm but the dog needs walks

I am talking about working with people to even conceive of their lives as a set of tasks — that isn’t exactly natural and isn’t something we train people to do and yet its a precondition for figuring out what an agent would even *do*.

kind of obsessed with the fact that there's an AA-style support group called Dogs Anonymous for owners who don't want to publicly admit they can't stand their dogs. by @jasooooon.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/inside...

*Huge* #migraine / scintillating scotoma incoming... I can just about see a sliver of reality at the periphery of the damn thing.

woke up, virus seems gone so of course now i have cramps

I think the tendency to take older intellectual property and making it dark and gritty has run its course. Time to start adapting older texts to be maximally horny.

"Well I don't have a TV or a radio so it's not surprising I haven't heard the song" You live in a bubble. What you're describing is a self-curated bubble. If you haven't heard the song that's been #1 on the charts for 23 weeks, you live in a bubble and you should probably be aware of that.

the hard parts of building a business are - solving a real problem for real people - ignoring shiny ideas that are fun but distracting - prioritizing boring stuff that moves the needle - connecting with customers if anything, AI makes it *harder* to build a successful business

Okay apparently I'm not done 😭 But I feel like the insistence on these men's (always, always, men's) idealism is standing in for a lot. What is "idealism" in the absence of an articulated politics? What is "idealism" amidst a failure to critique one's own position of power? It's bullshit.

There are far too many people who do not differentiate between “mental connection I made” and “absolute factual and inevitable connection that has been consciously intended by everyone else”

🚨 Preprint alert! 👶🧠🌊 "The Emergence of a Distinction between Things and Stuff" osf.io/preprints/ps... So excited to share my first infant study, with the wonderful Sanghee Song and Liz Spelke.🎉 Do babies expect sand to behave differently from solid objects? 🧵1/5

A small thing that will really stick with me from the book Careless People is the author recounting how Zuckerburg’s inner circle would let him win at Settlers of Catan. Broken culture.

'Nature of Wildworks', a rescue in Coarsegold, CA, shared this video of Cliff the Cougar purring in contentment. Cats that roar (lions, tigers) generally can't meow or purr for anatomical reasons. But let's explore WHY cats purr. We can start by asking: WHEN do they purr? (📷: Nature of Wildworks)

Many experts believe that estrangements are becoming an epidemic, driven by shifting family norms and changing therapy practices. on.wsj.com/4rBwger

if you’ve got a double coated dog and don’t know this, like me, let this be a lesson: the straight undercoat rake dog brushes are NOT enough the amount of dead fur i just got out with a curved undercoat rake is appalling

omg you’re so right, very astute of you to notice that bc i said “i love pancakes” i must also perforce also be saying “i hate waffles”
