I guess as there is more daylight and I got more into reading nonfiction again, my reading velocity has slowed. This is good I think.

Graph of books and pages read over time in 2026, showing roughly 25–30 books read for January-March, only 20 books in April, then 25 for May and June followed by only 12 for July

Please blow up the public comment (included below): BREAKING NEWS (7/15) — The administration wants to destroy Chaco Canyon without consulting Tribal Nations. It’s an irreplaceable historic & cultural site with 4,700 archeological sites that could be lost to the bulldozers of oil & gas development

we spent the last century reinventing the physical experience of womanhood to the obvious and vast benefit of humanity and I don’t think we should give any of that back voluntarily

Our conclusion: LLM medical responses vary based on question phrasing alone, despite identical underlying evidence. For patients and consumers, how you ask may determine what you're told. [5/6]

What we argued in Stochastic Parrots, however, was that you can get those benefits of the transformer architecture without ammassing datasets too large to collect with care (meaning consentfully, intentionally, and with the ability to document what's in the data). >>

⚠️ Update: As #Iran wakes up to a new day, metrics show the national internet blackout is past the 84 hour mark. Years of digital censorship research point to these workarounds: 📻 Shortwave/HAM radio 📶 Cell towers at borders 📡 Starlink terminals 🛰️ Direct-to-Cell satellite

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from January 5, 2025, to January 12, 2025. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity remains lower than normal most of the time period due to protests, with a sharp drop on the evening of January 8. The drop in connectivity aligns with protests across the nation. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 1%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN', indicates the period of disruption.

READ ⬇️ “They want us to scatter in fear, to give up hope, and to give up on each other. But we will hold more tightly to one another, plan more strategically, and care even more deeply. We will resist the normalization of their violence, the immobilization of fear, and the sense of inevitability.”

I'm not done writing up my annual music data analysis post because I keep doing things like building a chart of total songs listened vs purchased vs playlisted vs rated by hand in excalidraw. This is peak blogging.

4 nested boxes with what I hear being the largest box, what I purchase being a box exactly 25% of the area in a darker purple color, what I playlist is 28% the size of the what I purchase box and the what I rate box is 68% of the what I playlist box.

I've been considering what LLMs mean for the practice of writing documentation for years now, but didn't fully conceptualize what it means for how we provide content to readers... I coalesced my thoughts into a "strategy": thisisimportant.net/posts/ai-str...

thisisimportant.net

Developing an AI strategy for documentation

Content discovery is evolving. How do you deliver content for LLMs, AI agents, and AI chatbots, and what might you want to include in an AI strategy for technical documentation?

Save a horse, use a content strategy

Technical content can be as pristine as a crystal clear mountain pond, but if no one can find it, they'll drink out of a muddy puddle instead.

"The new NRF report acknowledges that retailers do not 'have a unified industry database collecting retail crime data,' and many retailers lack 'the resources or capabilities to collect and track retail theft.' Yet the NRF still issued a report claiming shoplifting has increased 93% in four years."

Just 10 members of Congress have even dared to call Israel's mass murder in Gaza a genocide. Meanwhile, they're straight up murdering journalists. The gulf between what's happening and what most of our leaders will acknowledge is so remarkably vast.
