@gruber I know it doesn’t mean much, and I know one reader who has read literally every post of yours for 20 years doesn’t mean much, but when thinking about Google employees protesting their company working with the Israeli government, I hope you can maybe think about this photo instead of thinking about how Google must be an amoral business dealing with any genocidal fascist government.
You are wrong. You have sided with genocide. Please! Please! Please!
Every protest is disruptive. It’s the point. Disruption is the only tool available when there’s a major power imbalance.
Every protest comes with comfortable people clucking their tongues, agreeing with the message, just not how they’re protesting. Rules, policy, decorum. Conspicuously, these folks tend to only criticize the protesters, not those with power who quash them.
Finished The Terror season 1. A grim, gripping series, with impressive art direction and wardrobes, convincing performances, and Ridley Scott as an executive producer. Recommended.
I haven't seen The Terror season 2 (yet) though. It's a separate story, and I noticed that it has received lower ratings. But I enjoyed season 1.
@metin Season 1 is incredible! Season 2 is also good, but not quite great. Still worth watching, though. It continues using magic and mythology to explore humanity at its breaking point.

Finally, my years of experience in building a text editor for iOS have paid off in my job where I was tasked with developing a text field that inserts separators in social security numbers and phone numbers as they're entered 😄
@simonbs Very nice! I recently designed one of these screens (not sure when it’ll actually get into the app, though). Yours is quite lovely and nicely simple!
@simonbs I’m a designer. My plan is to enjoy it, and get a feel for what it means for computing and UI/HCI.
I don’t have pressing goals with it, personally, beyond the emotional benefits like enjoying my photos on a giant virtual screen, and movies, and hey, I’ll try using Figma and the like. Some games (MYST, No Man’s Sky).
Mainly I feel it takes a year or more to learn a platform deeply enough to have a feel for it, and in my work I need to be at that level if the need calls. Prep.
I'm interested in exploring the intersection between people who have mostly avoided using LLMs and people who have embraced them, compared to the group who think they should be be labeled "AI" vs those who think it's OK to label them that
