It's so cool that the fbi is basically the make a wish foundation for one podcaster

Colbert posted the interview online. I do wonder if CBS and the FCC are aware of the Streisand effect? The interview has been up for 8 hours and has just over half a million views.

Displaying Team USA Olympic figure skater Ilia Malnin on a CRT brings out a lot of the artist-intended details that get lost with pure pixels, this is why so many of us retain vintage hardware

Could probably run Claude Code on a new washer, did Monica even consider that?

I tried Conductor 6 months ago and it was fine but didn’t hook me. I picked it up again a month ago and it’s all I use.

Had similar experiences this week with lots of LLM tasks β€” parsing a PDF into a CSV, image detection, image cleanup.

These tools are changing so fast.

I tried to generate an AI image of him doing both at the same time but ChatGPT and Claude both refused to depict violence involving real people. They just don’t know comedy!

I’m curious if there are historical analogs here. Did accountants feel this way at the introduction of the spreadsheet? They probably do 10x the work of a pre-digital accountant, but the work seems to have stabilized.

Separately, I wonder if β€œfewer paid to do the work” will pan out.

The Anthropic Hive Mind As you’ve probably noticed, something is happening over at Anthropic. They are a spaceship that is beginning to take off.

Anthropic operates a high-velocity "hive mind" with β‰ˆ90-day planning cycles, versioned workstreams, and claimed 10×–1000Γ— developer productivity, enabling rapid productization such as Claude Cowork, launched publicly about 10 days after conception.

If you're not doing regular 1:1s with your coding agents, they've already got one foot out the door. Just because they're robots doesn't mean the basic rules of management no longer apply. #ai #thoughtleadership

I think mine was a stabilizer of some kind and washer is ~15 years old. Fix seemed doable (I have replaced my heating element in my dryer twice and it seemed roughly the same difficulty) but I might have needed to replace all 4, which would’ve run $200ish just for parts.

So new washer. :)

What did you end up buying / planning to buy? We have a new washer coming tomorrow so just curiosity at this point. :)

I will be watching the "Can't We All Just Get Along?" Super Bowl halftime show presented by the New York Times. Featuring only aggressively centrist acts that conspicuously avoid all politics.

Orphaned Punchline - TV Tropes When characters are seen telling jokes to one another, we rarely get to hear the entire joke: usually we will just hear the setup or the punchline. Punchlines are often more common, as it allows us to...

This is one of my favorite sitcom tropes: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...

This one specifically was formative for me as a child: youtu.be/1KfFJz9n1ao?...

Donald Trump's new logo for the Board of Peace, which focuses on a globe view entirely of the United States and doesn't contain or correctly show Greenland, Iceland, or Europe at all.

Donald Trump's AI-generated "Board of Peace" logo is so bad it doesn't even have Greenland on it, the territory he almost took the US to war this week to seize. No, really, look closely:
