I wrote a blog post about how very, very important naming is in modular software design which you will completely agree with even though you're not going to read it.

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

It is unclear what this will actually achieve.
Regulations are not stopping AI from doing stuff. They have all the money in the world, AI startups are allowed to run inefficiently and unprofitably, data center development is unimpeded by the government, funding is unimpeded...what do they even want?
Silicon Valley power players want a Congress that's pro-AI. They're spending $100 million to try to get it.

These articles drive me insane. What reskilling? What training? What can they do after the training is done? What are you proficient in? AhhhHHhhh
AI can widen the middle class, writes Henry Wu, but only if workers help write the rules. Promising jobs is not the same as building worker power.

Flow state helps me recover from my work.

I do a ton of context shifting in day to day, within work and out of it, to help my family or my org where I’m most needed.

Flow state on the weekend- coding, playing games, making things- this recharges me.

6x17 multi format is coming!
I have been working on this one for a while, on and off, but it is finally looking promising.
This is going to be a 6x6, 6x12 and 6x17 pinhole.
Just a few tweaks and it will be ready!
Additionally, there are a couple more cameras in the making, so more updates soon🤞🏿

Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.

Egg prices hit record highs this week.

Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu.

How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public.

His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.

Move away from X/Twitter. Move away from Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Whatsapp. Stop putting convenience and 'engagement' concerns before principles. There are alternatives to this shit. Deplatforming unhinged billionaires starts by making their platforms crumble.
