While LLM probably shifted UX expectations towards natural language (a regression IMHO but that's another rant) I expect this approach to become standard over time. A note: CTRs and retention rates as target metrics are design smells. A tool that works *for* the user seeks effectiveness *not* usage.

Study: higher levels of CO2 increase survival of viruses in the air and transmission risk--not an issue for indoor ventilation but for climate change as well. 🛟🧪

Excerpt from https://storage.mollywhite.net/pdfs/TornadoCash5Cir.pdf that reads "Contrary to the Department's arguments, the immutable smart contracts are not services. So even when we consider OFAC's regulatory definitions, the immutable smart contracts are not property because they are not ownable, not contracts, and not services.

The Fifth Circuit reaffirms that code is speech. This is a big win for our rights to speech and privacy:
