Biodigital jazz, man.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."

All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

NEW — I wrote about my confirmed scoop from last night that Disney hastened Kimmel's return because of a planned Disney+ streaming price increase announcement coming on Tuesday:

Disney learned nothing from Andor.

dhh being a tommy robinson supporter sure is something

vibe coding to prototype something is just a faster way to create total shit.

Auto-complete: real, can't hurt you Super-intelligence: not real, can't hurt you Layoffs: real, can hurt you LinkedIn: not real, can hurt you.

AI is a marketing term; before we discuss "AI is fake" vs "AI is real" we need to unfold what we *mean* by AI.

For example, "artificial general intelligence" is fake and can't hurt you. Layoffs excused by "AI efficiency" are real and can hurt you.

Linkedin discourse is fake - but it CAN hurt you.

I'd love to help with some mobile/responsive work on the site, would you be open to contributions?

True full-stack energy! There's no front-end without a back-end.

But now you've got me worrying, do real engineers write front-end, frontend, or front end? 😂

Let's not gate-keep ourselves, front-end is harder than back-end 🙏

A magazine list showing #37, Zohran Mamdani, age 11, asked for Books, FIFA 2003 and SimCity 3000 video games.

The AI Boom Is Draining Water From the Areas That Need It Most A Bloomberg News analysis finds that roughly two thirds of new data centers built or in development in the US since 2022 are in places with high levels of water stress.

Each time you ask an AI chatbot a question, it sends a request to a data center and strains an increasingly scarce resource: water.

A 🧵on our investigation into how the data centers that power AI are increasingly being built in highly water-stressed places:

For me mixed server and client code means the server-side no longer feels as "safe" or predictable as it used to be. This is probably more about SSR than RSC though.

I think it's some effort to get running on old codebases/infra, especially ensuring your components can execute server-side or architecting around that - topic for a blog post?

To me this is about simple vs easy. The example is simple, but getting on top of even the concept is a high bar that many developers/orgs wouldn't consider worth it?

They absolutely ruined the kerning on Pope Francis’ tomb.
