"Let’s start with 18th-century aristocrats. Aristocrats are (typically) rich, which we certainly will be if we have robots capable of all normal nonrelational labor." I'm curious as to what aspects of modern society suggest a

They have a table full of Labubus though. Women love those.

Beautiful writing, thank you. I have already incorporated this into my world view and am ready and willing to die for the creature that lives underneath San Francisco.

That's hilarious. For anyone else wondering, it's AS27612 and the registered address is mentioned online -- unsurprisingly -- as the "CALEA Implementation Unit".

I can’t speak to Android, but I’m not surprised by the lack of iPhone sales at all—-they haven’t shipped any AI features yet! WWDC has gone from a launch announcement to an upcoming roadmap, so these are basically iPhone 17 features for mos

I'd be surprised if this was even noticed at all. It's a third-party client making authentication and data collection requests, just like the hundreds of other credential stuffing toolkits (OpenBullet et al.) that are smashing the

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by Robert Tressell. Taught me everything I needed to know about being a painter. Perhaps not the 'best' book ever, but certainly one of the most impactful for me as a common-or-garden 18-year-o

Love love love this. I recently saw something about Rails 8 (probably Kamal?) and decided to build a toy app using the main git branch parsing and displaying Telegram logs. I haven’t used Rails or done any front-end work since the traumatic

I hadn't realised until reading this, that I use this exact method for Best Buy. Not intentionally though - I have my password stored in 1Password, so I know it's correct, yet every time I try to purchase something through bestbuy

Great read! I love a pour over, but it's always "...but only if you have time" because I know how much of a pain they are for the staff. I wonder if the Starbucks story was one of those situations where the CEO had a pet proj

I don’t think I’ve ever had a single interview that left more than about 60 seconds for candidate questions. Maybe you can tease some of this stuff out with the “hiring manager chat” as that tends to be less formal, but in panels? What leve

That does sound feasible. There are a number of airports (SFO probably being the largest) that have their security screening performed by non-TSA third-party companies, which I suppose is the ultimate political embarrasment lever to pull.

If you're just using python as a local scripting language, and not pushing production code, the other option is to simply not bother with any of this. When there's a new python version I'm interested in, I install it via Home

Well, you're halfway there. Each state already runs an immunization information system which holds this data. In Arizona, it's required that all immunizations given to <=18s are reported (along with "encouragement" fo

I think part of the disconnect is communicating what the app actually does vs. what the terms permit it to do in the future. It sounds like you've put genuine thought into this, and your privacy policy is very readable, but it suffers
