If you look at the world, especially the US, we're desperately in need of better design, but design is not apps with luxury aesthetics. It's functional, ethical, sustainable, enjoyable systems, services, and products. Getting that stuff funded and facilitating the decision-making is the work.

No matter what your job is, to create good useful things you have to understand life But most people only see money, profitability, envy, competition, all the stuff the few who benefit from the suffering and sacrifice of many want us to believe life means Great ideas are where the simple things are

1/ Update on what we know about the evolving hantavirus situation, strap in. A Swiss man linked to the ship has now tested positive after developing symptoms after disembarking. He received an exposure alert, sought care, and tested positive. This means there are 3 deaths and 5 suspected.

I already thought Elon's mom constantly defending him on twitter was embarrassing. I didn't even consider that Elon was the one tweeting as his own mom and defending himself, which is maybe the most embarrassing thing l've ever seen

So it seems AI is doing so bad in convincing people to adopt it at work, that now the company I work for is literally forcing us to use it, they will start taking metrics, and we are required to use it at least an specific number of times during the week, among other "interesting requirements..." 🤨

There are clearly larger shifts happening in the economy. We can’t fight that. Instead let’s pivot. WA should embrace Brain Gain. Lots of Americans don’t want to live under MAGA rule. Let’s invest in schools, universities, R&D, clean tech, build housing and transit, attract the next wave of makers.

Is the Pope a Marxist? Kinda yeah. Pope Leo isn’t just an anti-Trump avatar. He’s channeling a much richer and deeper tradition of liberation theology to stand against poverty, war, and oppression. It’s an approach a lot of people around the word could learn from. www.jphilll.com/is-the-pope-...

In addition, there are now several studies showing that you also have to interrupt driving, and make it less easy. Because with the best will in the world, why would somebody who habitually gets in their car for every trip even notice a free bus, let alone make the effort to learn to use it?

This is an awful story. A guy in a car straight up murdered a woman because she was pissed he was blocking the sidewalk and poured a bottle of water on his car. So he drove over her *with his family in the car*, leaving her to die.

Many people who go into defensive mode when you mention avoid the use of AI, specially for basic stuff, are like... "and how am I supposed to learn things now?" Did I miss something? Did we lose all sources of information? Books, libraries, articles, papers, courses, forums, asking others?

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia. But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

Necessity, the mother of invention. The left is usually made up of those who understand struggle and scarcity. I like to share with my friends, even if you don’t have to, from time to time, is good and rewarding to challenge oneself to work with limited resources.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

One of the great things about challenging yourself to work with limited resources is that it activates your creativity. That's why I'm thankful I can work on edge-computing, it keeps me humble and reminds me why I decided to study computer science and the thrill of understanding how things work. 🌱
