DEI will be back under a different name because it's a problem that needs to be solved. It's like the huge backlash against affirmative action.

Wow what happened. Was there a bad storm?

The voices are excellent, but the app needs work. It lost my place in a book a few times, so I switched back to VoiceDream (don't use VoiceDream, it stinks unless you're a legacy purchaser).

It's kind of like the export controls over strong encryption that we dealt with in the 90s. There used to be separate binaries for Netscape or Mozilla back in the day.

If it's the United States, people don't use WhatsApp very much. Still, it's just another Meta app like all the others.

The TikTok ban is worse for national security. It's trading in an imagined threat for a real threat. Though Xiaohongshu is having a cute little cultural exchange between Chinese people and Americans, there's so much more Chinese p

ElevenLabs Reader is the same thing, but much higher quality voices for free. I've lost my place a few times so it's not quite as reliable as VoiceDream. But you aren't paying an expensive subscription with mediocre voices.

"I would literally write my social security number on a sticky note and stick it to Xi Jinping's forehead than go back to using Instagram Reels" I saw this yesterday and it's hilarious but this is the feeling right now.

I searched for "WWE CEO" and it came up with Vince McMahon. He hasn't been CEO since 2022. Nick Khan was CEO for a couple years after Vince left, and Nick Khan now serves as president of the WWE under TKO ownership. Google re

Taking the bus from Weehawken into midtown is super smooth now. It's a super cold Tuesday, but normally it's a honking mess.

Obviously this was a bad idea implemented poorly. They never thought about the "why" for any of this. There's real value in fictional chatbots (Character AI) though. With Character AI, you can role play and have outlandish co

It's odd how ubiquitous WhatsApp is in Europe. How and why did it catch on there so completely?

It's very cool, but we've gotten too many of these big bold announcements with no payoff. All it takes is a very limited demo and we'd be much happier.

Another perplexing decision. It reminds me of when Bush won his second term. In retrospect, nobody today thinks that was a good move. But you'd be surprised how many people vote for Trump because they want to save money on taxes and th

GPT-4o is helpful, and so is NotebookLM. The problem is that "AI" features built into a lot of products aren't that useful.

Bitwarden is still excellent, but keep an eye on them over the next few years. Remember that Bitwarden was originally a LastPass alternative without the fuckery.

From the beginning of the Vision Pro, I always expected Apple to take the approach of giving everyone an excellent, Apple worthy headset regardless of price. From there, focus on keeping the specs exactly the same but reducing the price unt

Yes, there’s been a lot of negativity toward earlier versions of this document. It’s been around for a while and represents a formal, structured, and rigid approach to software development. Historically, it reflects the 1990s era, when wate

I've tried out all the e-ink note taking devices (Kindle Scribe, Boox Go 10.3, Remarkable 2, and Remarkable Paper Pro). The Kindle Scribe can't really compete with the others right now since the software is so limited. I'd on

I remember my wife going through all stages of visas. Student visa, H1B, green card, then citizen. If you've never gone through it, it's complicated and involves a lot of waiting. Green card was the most complex out of all of them

Imagine an ignorant otherworldly being observing earth from a very macro timescale, and trying to understand what series of chemical reactions caused the production of so much plastic so suddenly. It would be like the KT boundary.

I never understood the appeal of streaming. Sure, you get lots of positive attention. And most people are honest, friendly, and kind. But the more attention you get, the more you attract bad actors and jerks. There's a reason why many
