You really need to put this on an RSS feed! I wish there was a way you could get paid for views for this stuff. I will be sending people this link when they ask "why are you so mad about that terminal scene in that movie?!?!"

Really interesting to see that the ham radio spectrum prohibits encryption.

Fascinating to read about the laws created to prevent this. Laws that certainly didn't anticipate corralling tech in this way. You could probably assume ignorance of these laws was the root of the failure to comply, but then you would

Not trying to be snarky but why not just opt out instead of vibe coding your own analytics platform? I'm uncomfortable with people using my data to train AI, but those concerns revolve around where my data goes, and whether I'm no

Steve Jobs transformed four industries. One transformation, for example, required getting permission to sell songs for $1 each when the labels all wanted to price each song differently. That required getting alignment from various titans at

All that precise language when addressing usually some old guy in black robes (I intentionally put it that way, I'm not in front of the court) reminds me a lot of Japanese formality rules. It drove me crazy to try to remember and asses

Where did you find links to artists using strudel? My favorite so far is charstiles. Any others you can point me to? Or communities where I can explore?

Can you share anything so interested parties can follow you? I love strudel as well.

As I said I'm only a software engineer but didn't Ukraine revolutionize the rules of asymetric warfare by drone iteration? Your statement rings true but I wonder if there are aspiring rocket engineers that really want to test thei

I don't know anything about this but I am a software engineer. Stop laughing for a minute because I do have a point. As a software engineer, I typically build something and engineer it so I can iterate quickly and improve it. I know th

I really, really love Julia Evans writing. She writes from a place of vulnerability and honesty. Most people write to sound smart and she writes to say "I don't know it all but there are some things I discovered I want to share.&q

Is this in the same vein as TRELLIS? https://github.com/Microsoft/TRELLIS I've been trying to use this to generate 3d character models from images. I am enjoying 3d printing these models to mess with my kids. Not

I'm very interested. I run my own public instance of forgejo. Is this software I run on my own that syndicates other users' commits? GitHub *was* good for discovery; does GitSocial offer something similar? Are there ways I can pus

Trump is not mentioned in the story at all. I'm making a comment on how his entire administration is corrupt to the core. I'm saying that I am considering how to tell my kids that lying and cheating and graft are the way America w

Gotta give it to the cop who made $250k a year because he knew DUIs required him to go to court and guaranteed him excessive overtime. I expect he will be pardoned by Trump because of his creativity.

They have made an honest attempt to pay writers. It's a different model than substack, but that's why. I look at it the same way I look at pay walls for newspapers. I don't like them but I understand why they are there.

"We may be in the first generation of software engineers in the same position. If so, it’s probably a good idea to plan accordingly." He compares software engineers to pro athletes. What does it mean to plan accordingly? S

You are close by Oregon. Do you have insight into why it has been so hard to get Otter to return to the Oregon coast? Some context: https://www.opb.org/article/2024/07/03/sea-otters-spotted-of...

There is one fortunate result that will come from the SaaSpocalypse combining with Mythos (color me skeptical but let's assume it is as powerful as Anthropic tells CIOs). If anyone can clone any SaaS, then there will be millions of Saa

Does anyone know of other MCP servers for similar music creative tools? I'm interested in things like sonic-pi, strudel.cc and orcas. But very open to anything. I think there is a good opportunity for kids to learn using these tools, e

I'm unsure what the controversy is that you are pointing out. I clicked on the links you provided but don't see a reference to Atlantic Council. Can you point me to a summary of what atlanticist ghouls means? What happened in 2018

I just can't understand how this prevents, say, the son -in-law of the president (totally unelected) going to negotiate for peace in Iran, while his brother in law is on the board of Polymarket and a strategic advisor to Kalshi. This
