“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.
At least one Meta employee thinks it's a good time to add facial recognition technology to glasses because we're too distracted by fascism to effectively protest www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...
we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad
computer, write discord 2. no mistakes pls
There is no way to do this without it becoming a privacy and security nightmare, not just for the wearer but for everyone around them, and the companies just don't care.

I wonder if the big push toward requiring ID for all the centralized sites will be how we finally see people break out into their own spaces again? like, I'm not about to hand a tech company that's mandating all employees vibe code harder my government ID just so I can post jokes on the timeline
I think Claude Code has achieved AGI
"It's OK to make disrespectful videos of historical figures unless enough living family members complain about them" is a weird and untenable policy
AI isn’t going to replace coding.
It’s going to replace writing code with reading code.
Hope you like spelunking through someone else’s logic—because that “someone else” will increasingly be an AI.
Mind linking to the post?
OMG yay!
Picard management tip: Debate honestly. The goal is to arrive at the truth, not at your preconception.
A project like this can’t avoid all risks & it’s not exactly online banking, but they used an old 6-character password & had two auth security holes from vibe coding, oof aldenhallak.com/blog/posts/d...
(and someone doxxed them, wtf)
I have a blue 720s that kicks around the living room. It's my go-to guitar to bring to places. It is precisely this, a $400 Yamaha.
I love my Martin OMJM, but I have twice as much time playing the Yamaha. It's a great-sounding workhorse, and I don't have to worry about damage, humidity, etc.
Don't forget Svelte. They've been slowly turning competing frameworks into employees. Still not sure if this is good or bad 🤷♂️

Google search for “all you can eat buffet near me” Al Overview To find an all-you-can-eat buffet near you, you can use online search engines like Google or Yelp, specifying "all you can eat buffet near me". These searches will typically provide a list of nearby restaurants offering buffet-style dining, including their addresses, contact information, and customer reviews. You can also refine your

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?'
Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️
Post to the subreddit r/AskHistorians: What was navigation like for vehicle drivers in the United States before the internet and GPS? Before GPS devices and smartphones/cellular internet networks were a thing (Garmin company was founded 1989), millions of Americans were already getting around driving without the use of those inventions. How did they navigate? Did everyone need stacks of maps? Were drivers frequently lost? Did everyone have to understand the interstate system and use intuition to guide them? How burdensome was driving before GPS? Did drivers pay people to calculate an optimal route for them?

Picard management tip: Listen.
Employees: we need fewer meetings.
Managers: here are AI note taking apps to attend meetings on your behalf.
Employees: now we have two problems.
Grok’s egregiously irrelevant responses all but ensured that this particular political project would blow up in the company's face. But let’s assume that over time, interventions like these will grow more subtle, relevant, and personalized. People already have plenty of good reasons to be skeptical of, or even hostile to, AI developers. Soon I expect we will begin hearing much more about one more: a pervading sense that, everywhere they go, the AI is working against them.
I wrote about Great Replacement Grok and the growing number of ways that AI systems are working against their own users. It's the age of adversarial AI: www.platformer.news/grok-white-g...
Work hard. Don't be an asshole. Share what you know.
Managing expectations
Adding this to my list of truly Canadian things.
This code ain’t gonna vibe itself
Completely agree with this point:
“Clever engineers write clever code. Exceptional engineers write simple code.”
Back in when people wanted “ninjas”, I said I wanted to be/wanted to work with gardeners. Ninjas come in and leave a bloody mess in the morning. Gardeners patiently cultivate.
