Last week I asked you all to tell me how to cover AI. Lots of you had ideas — and here are seven principles you asked me to follow https://www.platformer.news/p/how-you-want-me-to-cover-artificial

@caseynewton Can you please add stop it with covering Google PR so much and focus on covering when Google makes stuff real.

If this is true, that prime-time Trump infomercial was an even more shameful act of journalistic malpractice on CNN's part than was previously understood.

Allowing audience members to applaud - but not boo or express disapproval - doesn't report the story, it materially alters it. It creates the false impression that Trump and his odious policies and behavior are more popular than they are.

I've had a very long couple of days being brigaded by a group of trollish sociopaths. (I'm still getting hate email).

If I fail to give you the benefit of the doubt in the next little while and unfairly presume the worst of you, I apologize. I'll try not to do that, but I feel like that's a risk at the moment. Thanks for understanding.

Egg salad does have a kind of beautiful recursive symmetry to it, looks the same after being vomited up as it was before being eaten. But to be clear I have not verified beyond n=1.

There's so many cautionary stories about evil genies twisting your wishes, but if I ever met one it would be a struggle to not wish for "flat design" to go away forever. It is hard for me to imagine what could be a worse UI trend than a design language that draws all of its aesthetic richness from poorly xeroxed tax paperwork.

Manhattan Bridge photo update (sorry): I realized that I had somehow checked "autocorrect keystone" in Capture One when exporting the image, and screwed up the image geometry. Corrected version (as shot) updated here and, in ostentatious resolution, on Flickr.

@molly0xfff Board members asked me to have a look at marketing at their company. I was noticing a few things that could do with some work, and hated how accessing everthing required "work email addresses". Folks in marketing defended that as "needed for security". I settled that by signing up to their stuff from some of the worst sewer-pit Russian and other email hosts. 🙂

Randomly noting: if you're in the US, in April of 2024, the US will have a solar eclipse pass over a bunch of states for the first time in 7 years, and for the last time in decades.

It is an indescribably wonderful experience to be in the zone of totality. This article kinda covers it:. If you're not sure if you've seen one, you haven't. It's the most bizarre thing where it feels like someone flips a light switch and turns off the sky. https://www.space.com/37791-go-see-the-solar-eclipse-in-person.html

This Central Air Data Computer (CADC) was introduced in 1955. It computed airspeed, altitude, etc for fighter planes. But instead of a processor, it was an analog computer that used tiny gears for its computations. Let's look at how one of its modules works.🧵

@darryl_ramm@hachyderm.io avatar

@kenshirriff I'm really enjoying the videos on this. BTW as a (ex) glider pilot/nerd the pneumatic instruments, and analog to fairly sophisticated digital air data computers used in gliders can be fascinating. Total energy probes, variometers, netto variometers, digital total energy calculations, speed to fly computers, very accurate GPS computed winds, corrections for exotic effects etc.
