In the late ‘00s I taught a collegiate Intro to American Government and Politics course. I obviously do not teach it any longer. But if I did, I’d turn this thread into assigned reading.

Today Governor Ferguson signed my document recording fee bill into law. By closing a big bank loophole, HB 1858 will raise $60m annually for shelters, low income housing, and homebuyers’ assistance for Black and brown families.

plus you get all the warm fuzzies from being “a part of our innovation journey”, so that’s nice

your outie always writes unit tests for their PRs

your outie responds to code reviews within 2 business hours

Salesforce Is Using A Hallucination To Sell AI | Defector A lot is happening in the world of artificial intelligence, and not a lot of it makes sense. We’re told that AI is the future of business, yet it is wildly unprofitable; investment in AI companies is…

"Given what we've seen here, it is clear what AI is meant to be. AI is meant to be ignored, discarded, rejected in favor of the shelter of community and the warm embrace of a friend."

The Future Is Too Easy | Defector LAS VEGAS — There is something unstable at the most basic level about any space with too much capitalism happening in it. The air is all wrong, there’s simultaneously too much in it and not enough of it. Everyone I spoke to about the Consumer Electronics Show before I went to it earlier this month […]
