We’ve gone every single year. One of the highlights of the season for us, it’s pretty dope.

Had a 2.4k modem in the office and when the phone bill came in after downloading some shareware at work I said upgrading to 14.4k modem would pay for itself in one quarter and they feel for it 😂

And this was the fancy upgrade! The switch from a 28.8 to 56k was monumental for my Quake game. <screams in 90s>

It's finally happened: the improved quality of machine transcription and the greater ability to extract value from unlabelled data means "your tech is eavesdropping on you for marketing purposes" has crossed from "false conspiracy theory" to "true and concerning" www.theverge.com/tech/991190/...

I did this a few months ago. I’m sad to report the sad doesn’t fully go away (but it’s still probably the right decision!)

Love this, agree with it, and have experienced much of the same. As a leader you’re always influencing, whether good or…actually bad. And very few things are perfectly right or wrong, with nearly everything in a some shade of gray. A wonderfully written post from @baweaver.bsky.social

Shout out to whatever whatever Amazon dot com team made the “Order with X time period” on same day delivery to show it down to the second 🤣🤣🤣 I just ordered something “within 52 seconds” I wonder what margin of error they leave for the actual last moment of time someone hits submit on their cart.

Data centers in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. The science here is fascinating, and I deeply appreciate the author’s mix of (relatively) deep technicals with common sense analogy. taranis.ie/datacenters-...

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

There is a rush for AI companies to team up with space launch/satellite companies to build datacenters in space. TL;DR: It's not going to work.
