What's next for Supervised I've made the extremely difficult decision to end my full-time job with the newsletter, which will shift to more of a hobby. Plus, is the thinning out in the modern data stack finally here?

I’m back to (recreationally) writing while figuring out what’s next. First looking what’s happening with the modern data/MLOps stack. With the flurry of M&A (and M&A talks), the long-coming and frequent joke that the MDS consolidation may have finally arrived! www.supervised.news/p/whats-next...

I'd argue pandora/spotify kick-started the connected car starting with bluetooth. You can't get away with some way of connecting to a digital music service in your car anymore which required that early connected interface (and now we have screens which do both Waze and spotify!)

The UNC-BC game, an almost inconsequential game (that we are going to inevitably lose because that's how this season is going), is being shown on the CW and there is a SALESFORCE COMMERCIAL.

When working with local models I've always found they act a little more loose and fun when you put the condition on it that the floor is lava. No idea why but goes in every one of my system messages.

I’ve had too much time stuck in bed recovering to overscroll but y’all multiple things can be true at the same time so let’s just chill for a second while everything sorts itself out?

I’m not sure how Spotify went from a music streaming app to one where I have to deal with at least 2 pop-ups the second I open it that makes it overly difficult to listen to my preferred playlists.

Never Forgive Them In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting wor...

Newsletter: Our digital lives are unregulated growth-hacked ecological disasters. The modern tech ecosystem's growth-at-all-costs mindset is actively harming billions of people, pushing them toward authoritarianism for profit. We must fight back.

I feel like it’s on brand for the Apple weather app to say it’s supposed to clear out by noon only for it to start raining harder than it has all day and is like β€œwhoops my bad it’ll clear out at 2 now”

I still am getting the feeling that, once again, the data engineers are not okay right now.

Stickers in iMessage generated from Live Photos is a criminally underrated feature. They’re like inside jokes in each thread.

God I feel this so deep in my bones. I want to post dumb shit like I did in the early days of twitter but the fun has been sucked out of everything for so long and it’s like you have to re-learn the ability to enjoy the internet.

I love how the two GOTY front runners this year are like an engrossing outstanding Game of Thrones-like narrative RPG and a platfotmrr that’s like β€œwell what if we made them a giant sponge for this level”

I feel like Astro Bot pulls off the same trick the Lego Movie did back in 2014. Total destruction of the source material born out of deep love for its roots that serves as a base for a constant blitz of moments of unhinged creative genius that evoke so much joy it’s impossible to look away.

Scaling memes aside, I think Gemini (Exp 1114) is a preview of Gemini 2. They may not call it that, but at least not Gemini 1.5 Pro.
