You've probably heard about the controversial film "NAZA" that apparently describes how the Israel Defence Forces draws up plans to kill large numbers of Palestinians. While very few people have seen the movie, it seems to be an inaccurate distortion of what NAZA really is. If you'd like to read more about what it actually...

My wife has a simple, almost life-changing, tip if you have short arms: I bought a pair of silicon tipped tongs to keep in my car, now when I pull up to a parking lot, I just push the button and grab the ticket with the tongs. My short arms thank me every time I've...

I'm not sure if this is just my devices but a couple native Android apps on my Tab S9 tablet feel less reliable and perform worse than PWA versions of those apps. 🤔

Raw support percentages for every list, as filed with the Israeli Central Elections Committee.

I really enjoyed this discussion between @astrokatie.com and @hankgreen.bsky.social in an episode of Hank's podcast, Humans. It's a wonderful perspective of science and discovery: https://pca.st/episode/c9c0a916-616c-4495-8877-436dffaee565

People are worried that our soon-to-be AI overlords will take over our lives and run human civilization into the ground with their superior intelligence. Those people probably haven't had the frustratingly frequent experience of seeing these agents utterly fail to successfully complete tasks we ask and empower them to do. Repeatedly.

I'm using the Friends plugin on my site to read my feed of people who I mostly follow on ActivityPub services like Mastodon. I didn't really like the included themes so I forked one I did like, Fedipress, and created Asterism.

I wouldn't say that we have reached anything resembling AGI (or whatever the catchword is these days) although these tools are remarkable, today.

So, our CEO suggested a fun "homework" assignment—visiting a museum. I chose the Hasmonean Heritage Museum and really enjoyed it! The hands-on exhibits about Modiin's history were super engaging. The highlight was the interactive timeline and a cool 4D movie. Overall, a unique experience that connected past and present nicely!
