Yup, having been in this situation before you just buy some significant headphones Either they are comically large full size over-ear headphones, so it is obvious you are in the zone OR You get some IEM style in-ears that block literally ev

Libby integration has been fantastic for me. Check out library books directly to your e-reader? Yes please I have had a kobo reader for a few months now after four kindle models. I don’t see myself going back.

Jobs did his thing with the iPhone. He took a complex and indecipherable phone market and removed pretty much all choice. It worked brilliantly and if your phone is not a featureless slab of glass you have an insignificant niche of a market

I have recently migrated most of those “important” apps to an old iPhone that has no SIM card My interrupt driven life is segregated to a WiFi-only device and I am available most of the day. However the rest of the day is my own and I have

This is a state gov. The blame is shifted 100% to the contractors and consultants who developed the site Number 1, that’s because state governments aren’t paying salaries for full time AI developers. WA has a huge software industry that pay

Logging every image generated, using personally identifying photos, adds a big risk with almost zero upside. The reason not to store the images is right here in front of us. “Oops we may have generated topless photos of women who submitted

I can concur. At an old job we had a slack channel filled with terraform issues like these. We were an AWS shop. Terraform tends to be one of those things that can quickly become a nightmare if you take up it’s offer to manage everything in

That’s the point of an IPO. All the employees whose comp has been heavily weighted in equity that might never be worth anything are finally rewarded for taking that risk I worked at a startup that stayed private for 15 years and let me tell

According to the article she was arrested and spent the night in a leaky cell with no place to sit. I’d consider that to be “jailed” no? I think it could be reasonable to sue someone in civil court for a false/damaging review but actua

I haven’t read the study but the article gives the impression that researchers can get published for things as simple as discovering gamelan orchestras? I don’t want to sound cynical but ethnomusicology is a field unto itself and the idea t

Cell phone tower data has been used for a decade now in pretty much the same way. Did you happen to pass by a cell tower in a major city around the time a crime was committed? We all have. Well, your IEMI was included in a cell tower dump.

This was one of my first reactions to genAI. Sure it’s impressive now, but that’s because we trained it. The internet is going to end up like a fuzzy mpg video that keeps getting compressed every time it gets reposted somewhere new.

Yeah I don't mean to malign the contributions of Boomers who were scientists and engineers. But there is an overwhelming cohort of Boomers who "got theirs" during the unprecedented decades of post-war prosperity who simply ne

I am also thinking about social media as being the defining digital experience for Millenials and GenZ, an innovation of GenX. Jack Dorsey/Twitter - GenX Tom Anderson/Myspace - GenX Jeremy Stoppleman/Yelp - GenX Sergey Brin+L

I’m a xennial and it’s always funny to see genX referred to as some kind of tech-illiterate generation like Boomers Younger generations are “digital natives”, sure. They grew up using the digital products and services built by GenX

That’s conspiracy level thinking. Personally, I see parallels between the decline of search quality to the fall of Google as a place where every engineer dreamed of working to where they are now. It’s enshittification. Take something great
