unless the person I'm talking to is a genuine subject matter expert, I am zoning out of the conversation the instant you start talking about what you are "building" with AI

Working with aws is so funny - announcements like “effective July 30, 2026, myApplications will no longer allow creation of new applications“

I love when piping plover coverage refers to Pippin as a “perennial bachelor“ like he’s maybe a closeted 1940s leading man news.wttw.com/2026/06/16/p...

Working with LLMs is like working with a weaponized incompetent man - if you just gave me the instructions in the exact right way with the exact context that makes sense to me then I’d do what you want - but in the meantime I’m so confident I’ve succeeded

Lake forever PFAS for now?
Clip of a google search for ‘lake forever problems for now’ - the “AI Overview” reads: ‘ Right in Chicago, the biggest "lake forever" problem for now is the pervasive presence and heavy regulation of PFAS ("forever chemicals") in our drinking water and ecosystem.Here is what you need to know about this localized issue:💧 The Drinking Water CrisisThe Contamination: PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are synthetic chemicals that break down incredibly slowly. They are widely found in Lake Michigan and surrounding aquifers.’

I think there’s an argument for Ok Go’s ‘Here We Go Again’ because it launched into popularity mostly from their DIY music video posted to early YouTube and it felt like maybe one of the first songs to go viral

A lot of AI criticism makes me feel like someone says “the automobile has been disastrous for society” and I’m nodding along like “yeah I actually really agree, I think that car centric urban design has-“ and then they add “also it’s a scam, cars break down after more than ten miles anyway”

I think if people like Obama and Beshear want to talk about using simpler language they need to give us real examples of politicians missing the mark (and guess what they could actually use this to attack Republicans if they had a spine)

I know construction sometimes has to happen but it’s always funny when your first exposure to a city’s public transit have you feeling like you’re entering an active construction site

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life — years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable — rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice
