A 2x2 matrix chart that categorizes individuals based on their use of AI and the quality of their judgment. The vertical axis is labeled "Uses AI" at the top and "Does not use AI" at the bottom. The horizontal axis is labeled "Does not have good judgment" on the left and "Has good judgment" on the right. The four quadrants are: * **Top-Left (Uses AI + Poor Judgment):** "Slop Cannons" (in red text with an upward arrow from the quadrant below). * **Bottom-Left (No AI + Poor Judgment):** "Dead Weight" (in red text). * **Top-Right (Uses AI + Good Judgment):** "Turbo Brains" (in green text with an upward arrow from the quadrant below). * **Bottom-Right (No AI + Good Judgment):** "Steady Hands" (in green text). A watermark at the bottom left reads "www.danhock.com".

Slop cannon! Definitely seen a lot of those aiming their cannons at twitter

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Did you ever have a dream about a memory
About a life you never lived

False recollections in a time that never is

And when you wake up you want to go back
Living a second life on a different track

Does Python just like... Not do dependency pinning? Why is it that every ML colab that's older than 6 months never work

This is due to an upcoming policy change on Amazon giving 3rd party sellers access to shipping addresses

PSA if you have a public Amazon wishlist:

A stalker who wants your address can open an Amazon seller account & list themselves as a third party seller for an item on your wishlist. Then they order the item from themselves as a gift for you. Bam, they now know your address.

To stay relevant as a designer, you need to understand the technology. Otherwise you won't be able to weigh technical tradeoffs and argue for them.

I wonder what's stopping the plugins from rendering on the GPU instead of CPU. Seems like it would be way faster, so you could do full renders/previews instantly. Or at least lower the sampling rate for the preview... You don't need super high resolution for a visual preview anyway

Sound engineer nerds: why do I have to listen to the whole track to see where it's clipping? Why is there no visualization so when I make an adjustment to the compressor or whatever I can instantly see how it changes the whole song, where it's clipping, where my overall volume is?

Which companies will survive AI-accelerated competitors? I think also the bureaucratic baggage the biggest companies have acquired will make a difference if they can keep ahead of a nimble startup trying to eat their lunch x.com/i/status/202...

I often give it my raw thoughts and ideas to polish up and organize. Sometimes it even plops new ideas in there that inspire me further, or trigger a new path of thought. But 80% of the time I don't like the way it's organized and bloviated and have to rewrite it anyway

training your own models is punk

"AI models built to predict liver disease from blood tests were twice as likely to miss the disease in women as in men." Yeah but doctors do that too. It's because medical research data only studies men. Some of these biases are systemic; AI just highlights and scales up the bias

Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. PLUS: 10,000 drivers call on Uber to repay stolen wages, a man is arrested at a public hearing about a data center and more.

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own hands—and tearing them down.

That would be nice if we could have our own decentralized data store. Is it e2e encrypted?

I'm always fascinated by lock-free algorithms. This optimization for Android is really impressive and complex. And then they even added branch-free programming to speed it up even more! android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/02/unde...

Eh, considering the UK government labels anti-genocide groups "terrorists" and censors and arrests them, I'm not sure this is totally a bad idea.

Except of course that it's coming from the US government, who are the ones committing the genocide.
