Anyone else going to OmFest today?

They're worried about losing the Senate now?

Someone should start a new P2P file sharing app and take the name back

Remember Napster? Guess what's an AI agent company now?

After decades of seeing the cost of storage always going down, it's really messing with me that the 1TB external SSD I bought three years ago for $65 now retails for ~$150.

The way LLMs are trained is a strong proof point for post-structuralism

Pretty appalling that the Open Source AI Summit is hosting a "close reading" of work by Carl Schmitt, a literal Nazi and person who celebrated burning books written by Jews (among other things): luma.com/6kvtc4aq

Testing out the new "Tell Maps" AI feature in Google Maps:

Yes, someone mistakenly changed the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America
I can't update the name for Lake Ontario directly. However, you can suggest this change through the Google Maps app by selecting the lake and choosing "Suggest an edit."

Netflix wasn't around then as a streaming provider (mid to late Nineties), but I understand your point. The concern then was a bit different, in that ISPs would require their customers to pay extra for access to specific sites (or at least those that weren't bundled in or whatever).

Peter Rojas @roj.as · 28/08/2026

To be fair, the concern around zero rating circa thirty years ago was that ISPs would make it impossible for anyone that wasn't a big established media company to reach an audience.

I have seen the price of the regular cartons go up a bit, but definitely not doubled, yeah. I hope it goes back down soon, my family goes through a lot of soy milk

110

Peter Rojas @roj.as · 26/08/2026

This is me! I noticed the price increase the other day and my eyes nearly popped out of my head. I guess the price of soy has gone up a lot?

I was telling my kids a few months ago that when I was a kid we didn't know what killed the dinosaurs and and they were shocked

It's literally a cheat sheet

Peter Rojas @roj.as · 13/08/2026

Would it shock anyone to learn that the creator of the notorious Forbes 30 Under 30 list engaged in sketchy behavior?

No, it's also people doing insider trading.

"This happened because we noticed you've conducted activity that's inconsistent with Zelle's Terms and Conditions."

000

Peter Rojas @roj.as · 06/08/2026

Not sure, to be honest.

100

Peter Rojas @roj.as · 06/08/2026

No, received an email this morning. "This happened because we noticed you've conducted activity that's inconsistent with Zelle's Terms and Conditions."

200

Peter Rojas @roj.as · 06/08/2026

Update: despite me calling Bank of America to report this, they have shut down my Zelle account and are accusing me of fraudulent activity (which doesn't make sense at all). Unbelievable.

Peter Rojas @roj.as · 05/08/2026

It's really nice to see this, winning back the Senate is way too important

030

Peter Rojas @roj.as · 05/08/2026

Got three Zelle payments from strangers this morning totaling just over $3k. Then a few hours later get an email from someone saying that their husband accidentally gave people my email address and asking me to send the money back. This is totally a scam, right?

Yes, the problem is that people aren't wearing enough tech-themed clothing, not that they have valid complaints about the impact of tech on their lives.

The backlash against A.I. spans age, race, class and political party. Will merch actually change the narrative?
Niv Dror, founder of the venture firm Shrug Capital, said he believed it could humanize the industry. He suggested tech-themed stores that carry all the cool new apparel and tchotchkes, as well as books by tech C.E.O.s and venture capitalists. "Why isn't there a Nordstrom for tech?" Mr. Dror asked. Or even a whole mall?
"Tech will be better understood when people actually see it in culture," he said.

I appreciate how the New York Times made sure to explain how this username came from the dragon language in Skyrim.

Mr. Klayme's username was fus_ro_dah, while the messages came from an account with the username fus_ro_dah, which had two underscores in it between fus and ro, according to the ruling.
Both names come from the dragon language in the role-playing console game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and roughly translate to force, balance and push.

Peter Rojas @roj.as · 31/07/2026

Yeah, to me the takeaway is that people want that even larger format. I could imagine they could make a digital projector that does it if it's too tough/not worth it to make new film projectors.

I went to see How High when it came out and the guy who was taking tickets looked at me and said, "I think you're at the wrong theater."

I want to buy this just because I am dying to know how bad this Switch 2 could possibly smell

If I was a guy in Ithaca at the end of the Odyssey, I would also rejoice at the return of Odysseus, but I don't think I would be too quick to volunteer to go on his next ocean voyage to his retirement or whatever

That there will be conspiracy theories is now just baked into the aftermath of the death of any prominent person. I think I've seen at least one half-baked theory surface after the death of every single celebrity, influencer, or politician in the past year.

I've never seen a game like it

Many voters don't have especially sophisticated views on policy, so they look at how strongly a politician fights for their positions as a proxy for how good those ideas are.

That's how advanced AI has gotten!
