An interesting late stage capitalism ad hack I’ve seen in cars : OTA digital radio transmits track metadata like artist, title, and album artwork. I’ve seen some stations transmit tiny square ads in place of album artwork, even while the so

Pretty cool program. Would be slightly annoying if you wanted to get the pass with any regularity, but I love that it’s being offered. San Diego has SAN Pass, which is essentially the same program with the same rationale for existence.

This is the product they commercialized: https://flipdisc.co/ Last I heard a number of years ago it’s around $2000/sq ft. Around the same price scale as mid range LED wall modules.

It would be nice if you could “see” the AI in your vault making changes. Almost like a Google doc collab session. Even if you weren’t directly interacting with the agent, and it was making change thru a CLI/MCP, its presence would be h

The clean up prompt needs adjusting. If your transcription is first person and in the voice of talking to an AI assistant, it really wants to “answer” you, completing ignoring its instructions. I fiddled with the prompt but couldn’t figure

>human responsibility for the use of force, including for autonomous weapon systems So there’s the difference, and an erasure of a red line. OpenAI is good with autonomous weapon systems. Requiring human responsibility isn’t saying much.

It took Google 11 years to delete Don’t Be Evil. Anthropic only made it 5~ years before culling the key founding principle and their reason for building a company, which seems worse than Google’s case.

With the bot slurping up context from Moltbook, plus the ability to modify its soul, plus the edgy starting conditions of the soul, it feels intuitive that value drift would occur in unpredictable ways. Not dissimilar to filter bubbles and

Sufficiently advanced technology always looks like a DDoS on society. It overwhelms the senses, and when we come to the realization we cannot comprehend or fully predict its implications it puts a subset of the population into a bit of a cr

You can debur it as part of the manufacturing process, and then when it gets powder coating it smooths out even more. But you can just embed the sheet metal edges in a groove on a wooden side.

Regarding case material for productizing, you could consider a combination of plywood and bent sheet metal, eg like a Moog. Also check out dato.mu for a few examples of kid proof synth enclosures.

If the Firefox deal doesn’t make sense (too much?), then what is the hidden strategic rationale? >Things are only being held together by technicians who are aging out of the workforce 100%. This terrifies me. Loss of compartmentalization

Could anyone shed some light on the password reset email “hack”? I don’t really understand the attack sequence if the attacker doesn’t have access to your inbox. Even if you clicked them they don’t get access. My conclusion is trolling &#x2

Hydraulic disc brakes aren't really overkill on an e-bike, it's a safety thing. You really don't want to skimp out on stopping power when your heavy bike has a powerful motor.

I highly recommend the documentary Plastic Wars (Frontline). It’s about how the plastics industry made a major marketing push for recycling starting in the 80s, in order to avoid plastic bans and ensure production continued to increase. It
