I got grumpy about it, so I built a single purpose browser extension that does this, and only this: underlines links. 👉 Link Underliner a11y-tools.com/extensions/#... Minimal options on this that let you apply to all links, just those inside <main> element, or OFF.

Weird framing on Wired's part (playing into the idea that it is, indeed, "girly") but I've not read it yet...

on two occasions I have run into a dude who went with the "I identify as a woman" thing because he thinks its really funny and my learning has been that if you take his word for it and start calling him a woman he stops finding it funny in about 1 second and starts getting upset & so you don't stop

I found a bug with my `<envelope-blam>` element: the detune value wasn't accounted for in ADSR calculation. In other words, the Bootsy Collins-inspired algorithmic porn-funk of this example is now 25-50% more Bootsy Collins. hyperblam.how/examples/05-...

I love this sentiment and I believe it too. Hiring good people takes longer because most employers are shite and they don't know what to *do* with good.

Really important to understand that AI has not become *more* AI, *real* AI, or *good* AI since the late 70s. It's still a parlour trick. The parlour has just got a lot bigger and the trick a lot more tricksy.

Great to see folks still sharing videos from briefs.video. I could never keep up with the kind of release cadence youtube demands. Or, consequently, get any real reach or make any money. But, damn it, they're memorable. The few people that see them fucking _remember_.

In lieu of subtitles: a program acts like a psychologist. MIT students started treating it like a real psychologist but it... didn't understand anything. One of its creators explains it creates the illusion of understanding: an attribution we give it; it doesn't come from the program itself.

Genuinely traumatic! And an interesting film in regards to British certification: the first to get an 18 certificate not because of specific scenes of violence or sex. Just pure "relentless intensity".
