I’m absolutely floored by some of what I am reading here. Six months before passkeys rolled out there were numerous succinct consumer-friendly write-ups. I sent at least one of the…

Perhaps you’re referring to one of Utpal Banerjee’s books? https://www.thriftbooks.com/a/utpal-banerjee/1265627/?srslti... I owned a few of them along with Michael Wolfe’s book, Al…

For just the two daily BART trips that I do within SF, it would be $1200+/mo for Waymo/Uber/Lyft. So from that perspective perhaps the extra $30/mo for the small convenience of get…

$30/mo is slightly mind boggling for this. I’ve enjoyed the ~70 or so Waymo rides I have taken but to me Waymo, Uber, and Lyft are methods of last resort. My feet, BART, and SFMuni…

Companies are hitting their budgeted limits for AI tokens less than half way through the year and reporting that they aren’t seeing enough benefit to substantially increase that bu…

I thought OpenEvidence was actually getting a large amount of traction with doctors.

Jack DeJohnette died in October.

+1 on low fiber diet 5-7 days before. And although I didn’t try the diaper rash cream, Balneol was definitely a life saver.

As someone who has both TE and monome gear along with Elektron, Moog, and a decent variety of other gear, I still don’t understand the hate toward TE and it reminds me very much of…

If you compare the trajectories, I think it’s safe to say software has been a dumpster fire under Craig compared to what’s been accomplished on the hardware side. The fact that Cra…

Apple Silicon wasn’t under his purview, that would be Johny Srouji. Not saying that Ternus wouldn’t have been involved in or part of the decision making process in moving the Mac t…

First new music release after a 13 year absence.

Even more specifically how coal makes no economic sense even independent of environmental concerns.

I wrote RPG II code in the 80s and helped the company I was working part-time for transition to another one of these S/36 emulation environments on the PC in the 90s. The software …

Someone blaring their choice of music in a public space at 90 dB is a “cultural touchstone”? I don’t drive, I take public transit daily, and am old enough to remember when you woul…

Yeah I am not sure where I read the article recently, but there was a nice write-up about how all politics everywhere is turning into tribalism with little or no actual considerati…
