BREAKING: A federal immigration agent shot a man in the Bronx on Thursday afternoon, the latest of nearly two dozen such shootings in the past two years. A statement by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani indicated that the man had a five-year-old child in his car.

Software engineering could and should be done with the same care as any other type of engineering. This is a post in honor of Margaret Hamilton (and also a subtweet of all vibe-coders everywhere).

Screencap

"“I fought to bring the software legitimacy so that it — and those building it — would be given its due respect, and thus I began to use the term ‘software engineering’ to distinguish it from hardware and other kinds of engineering, yet treat each type of engineering as part of the overall systems engineering process,” Hamilton told El Pais in 2018. “When I first started using this phrase, it was considered to be quite amusing. It was an ongoing joke for a long time. They liked to kid me about my radical ideas. Software eventually and necessarily gained the same respect as any other discipline.”"

Trying to hurt trans people when they've borne the brunt of Trumpism's extreme agenda for the past two years (alongside immigrants and Black Americans) is also a choice in the part of certain Democrats.

Using AI is almost certainly harmful to us cognitively, emotionally, creatively, and socially. We should not use it. We should not normalize it.

Making anti-AI statements while using it instead of bringing people and community together or working to make necessary changes is like saying, "sure, we should boycott Starbucks for union busting, but the pumpkin spice late is good, something Starbucks haters tend to ignore."

I'm increasingly frustrated that people who are anti-AI aren't being taken seriously, and taking a page out of my thoughts on why the anti-trans backlash got as far as it did I'm starting to think the anti-AI side isn't extreme enough.

The point of drag on the right is to mock femininity as lesser. Drag often celebrates femininity. The real issue they have is elevating womanhood to the levels respect they reserve for manhood. That's why no one on the right cares about what JD Vance did, they know he still hates women.

I think the people who keep pointing out that Obama opposed gay marriage aren't really making a direct correlation with what is happening with trans rights today. The debate is over TAKING AWAY existing rights. So it would be more like Obama supporting recriminalizing gay sex.

Watching this Apple event tout how iPhones will soon be able to record ambient audio/conversations and transcribe "high level notes" for you. It's billed as private and end-to-end encrypted, but I think the bigger harm is the normalization of always-listening devices. It's creepy and not normal.

I still cannot believe Apple made an invasive creepy spy watch. How the fuck did they think that was okay? Oh, it's private, it's on device. Yeah, and cops can get that data, it's transcribing everyone without consent, and it could record sensitive information permanently. This is so gross.

Siri recap can summarize your chats to refresh your memory. Siri recap transforms your conversations into high-level notes so you can stay focused and present. Each recap includes a title summary and key points that you can review in the app on your Apple Watch or iPhone you can turn Siri recap on and off at any time from Control Center.

The text reads: "As the nation prepares to mark 25 years since Sept. 11, 2001, Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate in Michigan, may be facing the risk of renewed scrutiny and fresh political attack." Below the post text is an embedded link card from cbsnews.com featuring a photo of Abdul El-Sayed speaking into a microphone at a podium, wearing a dark suit jacket over a black shirt, with campaign signs reading "FOR US SENATE" in the background.

I'm sorry. The Daily Wire, which calls for the end of trans healthcare (this kills off a group of people, aka, genocide), is listed as only skewing right? Genocide is an automatic far right. This chart was always a little too friendly towards hate groups, but today, this is absurd.

there is no such thing as "age verification." All "age verification" is actually "identity verification." You can coat it in glitter and "privacy-preserving" wrapping paper. But in the end, mandating age verification means mandating surveillance be built into software and hardware. Period.

Countries are passing laws that require you to prove you're an adult to use websites. This is technically onerous and a bad user experience for all, so why is it happening? imo Meta etc. want to construct a high barrier-to-entry for other would-be website/app makers, to damage smaller competitors.

Google AI search is going to be great!

A screenshot of a mobile Google search page. The search bar contains the partial query "300+140=460 is this correct? B...". Below the search tabs, an "AI Overview" section incorrectly states, "Yes, 300 + 140 = 460 is mathematically correct!" It then provides a step-by-step breakdown:
"1. Break it down by place value:
* Hundreds: 300 + 100 = 400
* Tens: 0 + 40 = 40
* Ones: 0 + 0 = 0"
