People often hold up apps like Linear as paragons of software quality. In many ways it's great – fast, pretty design, slick animations, etc. But the definition of quality should also include accessibility. It's hard to hold up a UI as "high quality" with lots of basic issues.

🧵 The historic NYT v. @OpenAI lawsuit filed this morning, as broken down by me, an IP and AI lawyer, general counsel, and longtime tech person and enthusiast. Tl;dr - It's the best case yet alleging that generative AI is copyright infringement. Thread. 👇

At Google it sometimes felt like all we ever talked about was problems related to version skew. And then I Google the term & there isn't even really a definition, let alone much documentation. So, I wrote a basic blog post with examples & how to handle it industrialempathy.com/posts/…
Version Skew

Version Skew

There is a phrase that is very frequently used at Google and other big tech companies. It’s a nice and short phrase. And the problem it...

Someone figured out you could use Stable Diffusion (+ControlNet) to adapt QRs into images while still having them work reliably: reddit.com/r/StableDiffusion…

We just shipped the first alpha of React Aria Components, a brand new unstyled component library built on top of the React Aria hooks! 🚀 It abstracts away glue code and provides a much simpler way to quickly build accessible components for your design. react-spectrum.adobe.com/rea…

Quick peek at what this weekend did to some Sierra reservoirs-plus-snowwater storage numbers (thru yday). Getting some water into these reservoirs and lots of sloppy snow up there above them. (More will be posted at @CnapRisa later when more data shows up.)

We promised we’d go driverless in 3 cities by the end of this year, and WE DID IT! @Cruise is now live in SF, Austin, and Phoenix. Folks, we are entering the golden years of AV expansion. More about this launch:

This is just so specifically about the CEO’s plane and not a grander doxxing policy. Honestly he would’ve been better off just saying “you can’t talk about where my plane is anymore; that’s the policy”

The top of the trash can is attributed as frontend; the small surrounding area as backend, and a small lifting part as infra. Second photo: a truck lifting out the underground trashcan. The top, small part of the trashcan attributed as frontend, the bottom as backend, and the trash truck - taking up most of the photo - as infra.

from the FTX bankruptcy filing today. bear in mind, this is the man who unwound enron
4. I have over 40 years of legal and restructuring experience. I have been the Chief Restructuring Officer or Chief Executive Officer in several of the largest corporate failures in history. I have supervised situations involving allegations of criminal activity and malfeasance (Enron). I have supervised situations involving novel financial structures (Enron and Residential Capital) and cross-border asset recovery and maximization (Nortel and Overseas Shipholding). Nearly every situation in which I have been involved has been characterized by defects of some sort in internal controls, regulatory compliance, human resources and systems integrity. 5. Never in my career have I seen such a complete failure of corporate controls and such a complete absence of trustworthy financial information as occurred here. From compromised systems integrity and faulty regulatory oversight abroad, to the concentration of control in the hands of a very small group of inexperienced, unsophisticated and pot

We risk so much when we pit urban against rural. More climate investment across the board is essential if we are going to address wildfire risk, extreme heat, flooding, sea level rise & other hazards. We are all on the same team, and we'll be better off if we act like it.

This is such a devious hack! Opens a browser using Playwright and then passes a DOM representation to GPT-3 in order to power a chat-style interface for driving the browser. Take a look at the prompt, it's fascinating: github.com/nat/natbot/blob/7…

I’ve been playing with using GPT-3 to control a browser the last couple days. Here’s a quick demo. As you can see it's pretty neat! But also quite flakey. Will publish the source code shortly for others to try and improve.
