Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 14/04/2026Was going to comment about needing more mixed use to have the street look less lifeless and happy everyone else is on the same page. 120
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 08/03/2026It's very easy to make a 80% slack replacement in a weekend. Making one that everyone wants to use and wins out over the alternatives takes a lot of effort (way more than anyone would realize). 130
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 21/02/2026They mention that it doesn't solve the DID directory being controlled by Bluesky (I don't know enough here to say there aren't plans to make DID decentralized but it does seem like a choke point). 3150
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 02/02/2026We also didn't really have many government safety net programs in that period though right? I thought the root of the grievance is the (false) feeling that immigrants are consuming tax dollars more than existing citizens. 110
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 05/01/2026That's wild! Does that area flood a lot? I feel like the river bank there is still fairly high if that's just north of Nick's Cove. 110
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 19/12/2025Wiener wants to develop the Presidio (?), where did that come from? 120
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 01/12/2025The term of art in the industry for being fired is "spending more time with their family" so this tracks. 010
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 18/11/2025The bet is that Anthropic will win in the long term because they can retain their researchers, which is critical to making the next leap in capability for models, and the other labs have struggled with. 010
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 01/11/2025The carpool lane thing is always wild because we're so close to realizing we need to build trains and just keep not building trains. 040

Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 03/10/2025I actually don't know what the behavior is if you add a "new" post with a date in the past; naively I'd think it wouldn't show up but am curious now. 100

Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 29/08/2025Phrased another way; we can't control that other stuff, here are the things we can control and keep things bounded. 110
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 29/08/2025Genuine question; how does the fed square "companies aren't hiring because of a historic level of domestic chaos" versus "inflation and the labor market has historically responded to these inputs" 010
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 27/08/2025The Times is also not part of a democratic party propaganda apparatus for better or for worse; Republicans have one, and a very effective one, and Democrats do not. That is not the fault of the Times. 010
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 25/08/2025I played Magic the Gathering™ as a kid and we used to have parties where you'd save up to buy a full display box of starter packs and open them just to filter for rares for decks. Basically, this is not new. 020
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 21/08/2025Suggested songs for playlists; decent recommendations! They play at 2x the volume of the normal songs and only a preview (i.e. not the full song). 010
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 21/08/2025Discovery playlists; amazing! You cannot go backwards, nor can you see the songs that have played. Not very useful! 100
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 21/08/2025You cannot drag search results to playlists; you can only use the hamburger menu and then navigate to a playlist you can already see in the sidebar. 100
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 21/08/2025I want to use Apple Music on desktop, I really do, but there are _so many_ things that are either broken or user hostile that I am pretty close to giving up. Examples in thread 👇 100
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 07/08/2025That's partly driven by latency requirements to major metros and access to water for cooling; physics is hard to work around, but you still have much more flexibility than housing. 030
Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 07/08/2025You can build data centers in the desert but people want to live near their jobs and their friends which means replacing existing housing. 120

Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 22/07/2025I think it's more weaponized social media can make a large swath of the population angry about something at any given time. 120

Will Charczuk @charczuk.com · 26/06/2025At the outset; I agree, you will have a better social media experience with services that let you curate a reverse chronological feed yourself. That said, people are lazy and it's _much_ easier for the average person to just let the algorithm make decisions for them. 010
