Tools like Google Meet should *really* show each participant their realtime network quality. So often I chat with people and their connection is just crap and they probably assume the problem is on my end, because they don’t know otherwise.

The point of Mark Zuckerberg's 6,500-word essay is to define a positive future for AI. Zuckerberg uses an example that is telling, in a grim kind of way: He asked an AI to pick out a “personalized” recipe to bake with his daughter. Read more from @lopatto.bsky.social: buff.ly/QouZnFZ

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.
DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

One of my favorite part of owning old records is when the original owner has written on (or in this case, underlined) it! Typically they’ve also put their name on it. Records were so personal back in the day.
"Having removed his foot from the door and returned to his native soil, Herbie lost little time in assembling an intriguingly different group that employed four of the men he had taken with him on the African tour-bassist Nabil
"Knobby" Totah, drummer Rudy Collins, vibraphonist Johnny Rae and veteran jazz trumpeter Adolphus "Doc" Cheatham,
- with a bongo and conga drummer, and three additional trumpets: Siggy Schatz, Jerome Kail and Leo Ball. The strengthened percussion section, with Ray Mantilla on conga and Ray Barretto on bongos (he is heard on all tracks except Dearly Beloved and Fife 'n Tambourine Corps) gave the combination a striking blend of tonal and rhythmic qualities."

Elon Musk is a South African who came to the US under a fraudulently secured student visa to study at Stanford (he never enrolled). Through further fraud, he secured a green card and then was naturalized as a US citizen. His US citizenship can be revoked. He also holds a Canadian passport.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.
