I don't care about LLMs or AI. I care about people. AI is just a tool to me. Tools enable people to help or harm at a scale beyond their natural abilities. I care about how people treat each other using these tools.

I recognize myself in this *so much*.

I am also mourning the loss of a wider, open community that shares the joy from new discoveries, learnings, mistakes. The world of my profession feels smaller, less interesting, and more alienating.

This is a real timelapse video of the Moon transiting in front of the Earth.

It was captured by the Artemis 1 Orion spacecraft in November 2022 while flying at it's furthest point from the Earth.
The video covers about 3.75 hours of real time. 🔭🧪

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary.

It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

Here's a tragedy of DOGE that most people will never know about, even though it has big consequences: no one is left to coordinate the transition to memory safe systems code. 🧵

@jacobharr.is Can you add me?

I've been playing scrandle.com now for months, and it comes up every now and again and it is just one of the many things I cannot comprehend.

when will the lesson finally get learned? #cloudflare

Totally innocent.

F and M trains will swap routes between Manhattan and Queens starting in December 2025 We're making this change to improve reliability. Here's what you need to know about how your trip may change. New York City Transit

I can’t believe Zohran is transing the trains already

In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart.

Every time I see a social media meme about being an introvert, which is at least once a week, I think about how the modern conception of introversion was popularized by a book by a woman who worked on Wall Street who felt that she was so different and special compared to her coked up male colleagues

I am glad there was no visible weird shit on your brain and you get to go home. I'm sorry your brain is just *doing* weird shit.

I don’t like talking to humans IRL, why would I want a computer talking to me? Dammit.

"We obviously really care about rightsholders and about people"

So obvious he has to say it explicitly, adding a reassuring "people" for good measure.

Been a while since I posted #astrophotography: here's the Heart Nebula, one of my favorite parts of the night sky (I say that about a lot of the sky though)

One month apart.

if you "don't have any talent at all" and aren't willing to struggle thru this with diligent practice, you're welcome to fuck off & do literally anything else in the world that's easier for you

I am going to be mean to the computer.

🧵 I know it's ridiculous, but when he's talking mitochondrial challenges & inflammation, he's again referring to his idea of vaccine-induced autism. Let me explain.

Text screenshot: "You don't have permission to see the color for this account"

"Alexa, show me the most bullshit AWS IAM permission in the world."

Pretty much hating any and all spaces where human interaction is algorithmically-mediated anymore.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

LMAO. Imagine wanting a planet instead of a bullshit machine.

What--and I say this with my chest--the hell are we doing here people
