100 years of Grand Lake: Oakland’s favorite cinema is an epic love story How did Oakland’s favorite movie theater survive for a century? The answer includes Ryan Coogler, real butter and a theater operator who fell in love with a money pit.

β€œIn many ways it’s a time capsule. And it will be here for another 100 years.”

For the Grand Lake’s 100th birthday πŸŽ‚πŸΏ I wrote about a romance between a man and architecture β€” and how it rescued the best theater in the Bay Area.

WiseTech Global manages customs clearance across 193 countries for 47 of the top 50 global logistics providers. Replacing it with AI-generated code means recreating thousands of regulatory integrations. Good luck.

AI kicked myΒ SaaS the Human Connection Moat For thirty years, the "build versus buy" debate was the persistent game of tetherball in the CTO’s office. It was a rational, if often heated, accounting exercise. On one side: the allure of ultimate controlβ€”software tailored perfectly to your unique business logic, free from the constraints of a vendor’s roadmap. On the other: the pragmatic realization that recreating wheels is a waste of talent.

Learning a second language can be hard. Signing up for Pre-K and 3-K is easy.

This is totally my every evening.

Except that it's maybe also a Dodge Durango, blacked out, Texas plates. You never know.

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Libraries, easy. They buy the books and if they're checked out a lot, they sometimes buy extra/replacement copies. Plus they are a public good that should be supported.

(Used bookstores are cool too! Local economy ftw!)

That said I do agree that the accountability model is broken and needs to be updated for computer autonomy.

But the same is true for wealthy humans.

A secondary benefit is that when a robot DOES make an error, that code can be updated and ALL robots improve. This is not the case for humans. In fact, even after a single human makes a driving mistake there is not guarantee that one person will learn to avoid the same mistake again.

I get the 100% predictability is not obtainable. But what percentage IS possible and what is needed for robots to improve safety by 20%?

Data shows that humans are terrible drivers (just look at the number of deaths due to motor vehicles annually), early indications are that robots are safer.

Honest question, does this change if all the cars are autonomous? If driving WAS about rule following, wouldn’t robots be better?

The best life hack I ever gave myself was making the password for my parents’ WiFi β€œeasytoremember”

as far as i can tell β€œbio hacking” is just a goofy term for giving yourself some combination of an eating disorder and a drug addiction

Yesterday with your help, we paid the rent for five Minneapolis immigrant families in need. Rent’s coming up, donations are down, and there’s still so much need here. Let’s help as many as we can today!

Monki Gras The developer conference about craft culture

One thing I am super happy about is that we will be running our D&I program as usual. Inclusion makes communities smarter, stronger, kinder, and more resilient. A big big shout to Oracle then for sponsoring this critical aspect of the event. Thanks @mjasay.bsky.social and team!

I mean, does it matter?

Not meaning to dismiss your question, but interested to know how you view this changing things and for what audience.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
