A Marker Word Is Only a Marker If Nobody Else Says It
Field Log documents the experiences of using an AI assistant, Claude. Andrew Northern, the user, initially planned to use "gotcha" as a keyword for organizing voice notes. However, due to its commonality, it led to noise. Now, they use the specific phrase "field log entry" with titles for better organization, emphasizing the importance of selecting unique tags.

I think @gruber.foo is missing the mark a bit in his criticism of Bernie Sanders. Profit as a survival buffer is a fair argument. Extreme profit is a different conversation. (HT FDR, Statement on N.I.R.A. June 16, 1933)

Bernie Sanders: Ideologue and Economic Ignoramus
Sanders’s tweet is better punctuated and capitalized, but it’s the same argument as Trump’s. Zero economic sense, 100 percent ideological wishful thinking.

Source: Read this before you vibe-code another app — Yael Grauer / The Verge We’ve entered a new “era of personal software,” as The Verge’s David Pierce said, where anyone can use AI to create their own private apps that can do exactly what they want. But with it comes a new era of security issues. Apps may be easy to build, but they’re difficult to secure — especially in a world where AI can also be used to attack them.

Nvidia says its AI data center design runs hotter to use a lot less water
By switching to 100 percent liquid cooling and running servers hotter, Nvidia claims it can cut water use to "near zero." Nvidia’s blog post doesn’t mention the cost of building this style of data center vs. one using less efficient air cooling, but claims that “every cloud provider and data center operator building for is making the transition.” With all of the advancements in AI and the ways we are using technology, I am very hopeful that this can be true.

Alan Greenspan, former chair of the Federal Reserve, has died at age 100

If you lose power due to flooding and own a portable generator, make sure you run it outdoors at least 20ft away from your home. A portable generator can produce enough carbon monoxide to kill in minutes.

It's frustrating & disheartening to see how AI is being used as an excuse to dump people. I'm quite confident that most of those 8,000 workers would be able to contribute in different ways. Profit isn't the purpose of business, it's a reward for building amazing things. Unemployment isn't amazing.

President Trump turned his back on our nation's veterans during his first term, calling them "suckers" and "losers". Now, he thinks they, and all taxpayers, should pay for his Big, Ugly, Ballroom, all while healthcare, housing, and veterans' benefits are pushed further out of reach.

In 1933, Justice Louis Brandeis said: “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.” What he said was true 93 years ago. It’s even more accurate today. Let us choose democracy over oligarchy.

Couldn't agree more, @deluzio.house.gov. VA shouldn't be dismantled, it should be strengthened. Privatization just shifts costs onto veterans and risks access to care. When every dollar counts for groceries, gas, & daily necessities, veterans can't afford more expenses. Veterans deserve better.
