I wonder if the future of journalism might look less like long-form textual articles with stock photos interspersed and a lot more like rich interactive graphics that help people understand complex issues and nuance/tradeoffs.

Every problem that takes more than 20 years to solve is an education problem, because it will take well-educated people to solve that problem. You want a stable and peaceful democracy? You want plentiful fusion power? You want bases on Mars? Cure cancer? Educate the kids.

The last 50y of programming has built inefficient software, excused by increasingly powerful hardware. I have to wonder if AI optimization could enable a great harvest of efficiency and performance improvements that just weren't worth the human expertise previously.

Elon Musk flips a vehicle upside down and everyone claps and cheers. But when I do it, suddenly I'm "recklessly endangering children" and "unfit to be a school bus driver".

I would love to see a startup target moving the needle on these. NO, NOT PLAYING VIDEO GAMES.

After an hour and twenty minutes of @united chat, they conclude that I have to call and wait on hold because they can't help me on chat.

Yes you probably should be supplementing with creatine monohydrate
This new creatine study is insane. People who never trained took 10g of creatine a day and gained more lean tissue (2.43 lbs) than people who were lifting 3x a week with no creatine (0.31 lbs). Here's the breakdown: (1/18)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The lean tissue gains in the no-exercise creatine group were measured by DXA body scans which creatine affects by increasing intracellular water that registers as lean mass. The decision to exercise or not was self-selected by participants not randomized. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13… medicalnewstoday.com/articles/creat…

Pushed my Dell windows dev laptop so hard doing parallelized build and test of my software that it literally became unbootable until given a day to cool off and hard reset 😂

In case you were unaware: yes your cables are computers that run code and receive firmware updates
This went under the radar, but earlier this week, Apple released USB-C to MagSafe 3 Cable (2m) Firmware 3.2.0 The last firmware update for this cable was over 3 years ago

My son was practicing his Chinese character recognition and we got sick of using Quizlet (ads, awkward logins, etc) so just built our own for him to use to practice. This kind of parent-driven ed-tech is going to be very interesting to help accelerate learning. Using AI to reduce study time is harmful. Using it to make a fixed period of studying more effective is awesome.

Downside of sophisticated models; sometimes they want to build an overengineered enterprise class quantum compute resistant hardened staging-and-deploy infra for the silly training app you are making for your 9yo.
