I loved doing it.

Oh no! I checked and it said sunny and warm! I might have some time tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. But I think I'll be stuck at the Heathrow airport that afternoon too. We shall see.

I’m not sure I’ll have the time. But be in touch.

dude, your soda and your boots rock

Watching Bringing Out the Dead. Fascinating as a "light magic "version of Taxi Driver's urban noir. Scorsese encourages the comparison w/rhyming shots. More a short story than a novel (not withstanding that the source is a novel!). Love the portrait of NYC in its last hellhole moments.

Look at this! Don't know if we've ever been #1 this whole time. I'm coming for you David and Ben!

Ooh. Thanks!

Worf is right, dying in battle would be dope as hell

@rmondello.com I'm the host of the Tech Brew Ride Home podcast (until literally today the Techmeme Ride Home Podcast). Was wondering if I could interview you for a bonus episode of the pod about the security code autofill thing on iOS. Could be like a 15 minute thing?

Bit of personal news. I have joined the team at @morningbrew.bsky.social ! The Techmeme Ride Home podcast is now the Tech Brew Ride Home podcast, beginning with today's episode!

Ok. Holy crap. On this news alone, I'm bumping the IPO meter WAY up. 225% first day pop is the very definition of dotcom bubble stuff... We get a couple more of these? www.techmeme.com/250731/p36#a...

These guys are dating! Very happy for them! I'm coining their couple name: Pamliam Anderneeson

I asked ChatGPT what will I be?
Will I be pretty? Will I be rich?
Here's what it said to me:

Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
STICK YOUR HAND IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL

Saw it.

Woah. This is interesting. There has been OpenAI and everyone else... but is everyone else also getting traction in terms of revenue? www.techmeme.com/250716/p34#a...

I’ve seen tons of photos of people who look like their dogs. But what about a dog walker who only walks dogs with similar hair to theirs? Poodle hair only!

The @blankcheck.bsky.social episode for Miller's Crossing is probably be recorded right now. Whoever is guesting on that episode, you better BRING IT cause that is criminally an underrated movie. It's also my favorite of all time so I will destroy you online if you don't do it justice.

Bjork hunched intently over a laptop at a mixing desk a small audience watching from a few feet away.

Told the kids we were going to Iceland this summer and when elder teen joked we might see Bjork, I laughed.
Landed this am. Few hours later we visited a small local record shop. Someone was playing a kicking DJ set. Guess who. 😲
Here's a photo of elder teen's ear, six feet from stardom. Incredible.

Energy and the access to it has been the geopolitical imperative since the Industrial Revolution. Read that article closely. What if every nation had energy sovereignty going forward because the sun shines on everyone equally. It is a complete reset of the global order.

Literally these months as we talk: there’s a Moore’s Law happening right now. It’s insane.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

This is the most radicalizing thing that I’ve read since ChatGPT came out. As an investor. Something akin to the Industrial Revolution or the computer revolution is happening RIGHT NOW. www.newyorker.com/news/annals-...

In The Boy In The Bubble Paul Simon uses as evidence that “these are the days of miracle and wonder” is that it’s a long distance call. But remember when you had to pay per text message?

Right. It’s like the: you can store your recipes on it from the pc era. AI is all about shaving down the marginal stuff that we’ve done in search for 25 years. And that is powerful!

Horses may have been domesticated twice. Only one attempt stuck Genetic evidence suggests that the ancestors of domestic horses were bred for mobility about 4,200 years ago.

Horse power may have revved up about four millennia ago.

I'm reading a history of Florida book and they have tons of data to suggest that there were times in recorded history where Hurricanes battered the shit out the place. I lived there for my first 19 years. Not a single one hit me. I feel like a Baby Boomer. Immune to history...
