I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.
This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.
i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country
It's Pritzker and AOC who get it so far. Who else?
🏆 Governor Pritzker- Illinois - has signed an order prohibiting all J6 rioters from state employment.

I posted something sincere to focus on the grieving families and send peace and strength during an extremely difficult time and the amount of grief I am getting from that is exhausting,,, people lost their lives and I just want to respect and send love to all the victims and friends and family.
Mr President sir I have it on good authority that landlords are doing DEI. They are woke sir
just start saying this plainly to more people i'm serious.
The constitution quite clearly gives Congress the power of the purse, a power the Executive branch is pretending it now has. Or did you not pay attention at all in school?
Basically, all of Kash Patel's hearing was like this: Dem Sen: You said on the "Tightest Whitie Podcast," quote, 'I'm going to use the FBI to hunt down Trump's enemies, period, full stop, it's as simple as that, no more, no less." Is that your intent? Patel: That was taken out of context.

Friend: I like how you’ve kept the authenticity from when you were a small account Me, not smart enough to come up with new big-account-type stuff: thank you
DO NOT follow fake accounts that claim to be run by a “rogue White House staffer”. I am the only real rogue White House staffer

I love how he basically pops off after winning!

sorry if I'm being a little annoying about violations to the constitution, but damn it feels weird to be on the side making a fuss about that

DeepSeek took off in part because, in a first, it offered a reasoning model that explains to you what it's doing. Its success shows how little AI product teams have done so far to make their products appealing to normal people: www.platformer.news/deepseek-des...
How else could chatbots be made more appealing? The popularity of r1’s chain of thought suggests that they should communicate more about their process, and in particular offer the user guidance on how to refine their queries when they don’t get the answer they’re looking for. Just telling users how a chatbot understood their question seems to build an outsized amount of trust. 

I also think there’s something appealing about r1’s humility — in conveying its own lack of certainty, it sounds less like the authoritative robots we have come to expect and more like Star Wars’ C-3PO. That’s somewhat counterintuitive — I don’t know many people who think the final form of superintelligence is a bumbling droid — and yet too often we forget how alien and unapproachable these systems remain to all but the most devoted AI nerds.

I should really update the logo. The U-matic videotape of a telecine of an old internal training film I always copy it from is getting worn out.
Incredible comment in yesterday's episode on housing affordability even worse. All around the country, construction workers will be migrating to California for the post-fire rebuilding efforts, which will make new development even harder.

I didn’t even see VMware there! 😂 (h/t ) It is placed very appropriately. One way to win the magic quadrant.
Nvidia claims they're called "NVIDIA" but even Wikipedia doesn't believe it.
A 2-axis graph of "how hard it is to capitalize the company's name correctly" and "how mad people get if you mess it up." VMware is in the top right.

🎉 Live from the CSS WG F2F: We resolved to adopt my proposal for relative colors with 2+ colors! github.com/w3c/csswg-dr... Very excited. This will fill a big gap that my original Relative Colors proposal (now Baseline 2024) left, and make SO MANY more use cases possible.
