Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 03/10/2026I just really crave good tech criticism, where by good, I mean they're always right, they're never disproven by future developments, and they agree with me about everything 050
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 26/09/2026I picture you slapping the last print onto the Friend. Very cute. The auto-cutter makes the process feel so tidy! Tearing receipts makes the torn scraps feel less like real objects. 001

Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 18/09/2026Yeah that should happen but I'm not actually seeing the connect! Can u paint a lil more picture 110
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 18/09/2026Thanks! A good reminder for me to think about it some more... 000
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 11/09/2026the easiest way to get to this document is through my website, so I just download it every time. this is interesting. should my local file storage be more like a website? or is there a way of accessing this thing on the web that feels less like "downloading"? 250

Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 01/09/2026Fyi I'd suggest flipping the direction of the arrows. Feels more natural for them to point forward in time, from causes to effect. 110

Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 29/08/2026The verses in "Get Me Away From Here I'm Dying" follow a really simple prosody and then in the third verse they hit you with: Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all From where I'm sitting, rain Falling against the lonely tenement Has set my mind to wander IDK why but it takes my breath away. 050
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 24/08/2026I think it would be really funny if it left out exactly one directed edge. Like, yeah everything should interact with everything except science definitely shouldn't inform craft. 160
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 23/08/2026Interesting to hear that they took on cars, since they're such a contentious tech, such a common example of "thoughtless adoption of seemingly empowering tech can be socially disempowering / destructive". Curious how the podcast deals with that – do they ignore, dismiss, or accept? 120
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 20/08/2026I haven't been to Montreal since I was a little kid but my list of places to visit says "Insectarium" so you should probably go there. 130
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 07/08/2026pleased to report that I've made a version of Google Earth that kinda makes you feel like you have to puke 1130
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 05/08/2026Examples: - social-media call-out post ("That hurt, and I'm not going to soften it.") - statement from grieving sister ("To me, he wasn’t just my brother. He was my closest person.") - academic paper rebuttals - party invite I feel like I'm going crazy over here. 150
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 05/08/2026I'm in a weird place where for some reason (?) I think it's inappropriate to pass off AI-generated writing as one's own, but I see it absolutely everywhere now. So I wonder: is everyone trying to pull a fast one on me? or do they just have different standards of acceptable behavior and it's nbd? 2140

Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 20/07/2026These are all really interesting UI patterns, but I'm having trouble seeing what crisply connects them. Do you have a definition for what makes something an "extemporaneous interface"? 001
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 15/07/2026just realized that I type "x" with my left index finger, resulting in a much larger hand motion than for any other letter. (I type "z" with my left ring finger.) 010
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 13/07/2026I wanna hear the case that h3 isn't hexagonal. (Sure looks like a buncha hexagons to me.) 100
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 11/07/2026I like the messianic messaging. I wonder if we can get more of that into our next paper. 050
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 03/07/2026design venting: Spotify made the top result of a search (1) look different than all the other results, (2) have a faded-out background so it looks especially irrelevant / skippable, (3) have its play button on the right side instead of the left, just to make sure your muscle memory is defeated. 030
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 03/07/2026Nbd but this video doesn't actually show any advantages to "reusing" these references. I'd be interested in seeing that. 100
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 01/07/2026Strava on Android randomly closes when I'm recording an activity and doesn't record until I reopen it. I have all the battery things turned to "please don't close this". What do I do. 🥺 020
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 01/07/2026I'm in NYC next week. Anyone know any good people/places/things there? (More specifically, good things for meeeeee?) 100
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 27/06/2026"Museum exhibit" is an immersive, architectural medium. Most art in museums isn't native to this medium. It's transplanted via hermetic enclosures: frames on walls, plexiglass boxes on pedestals. "Installation art" really just means art meant for this medium, art that knows it's in a museum. 1111
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 31/05/2026idk why he had to stand waist-deep in an especially constructed manhole but I can relate 240
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 28/05/2026I don't understand this point. If we're talking about "what's the point of Vega when an LLM can just write D3?" then the LLM is playing the role of implementing a fairly detailed spec, not coming up with a spec in the first place. 100
Josh Horowitz @joshuahhh.com · 16/05/2026"It’s OK to Want to Have a Good Time" has quickly risen to a key position in my personal canon: drops.dagstuhl.de/storage/01oa... 1233
