Chibi is boss. Bring her her coffee. Bring her her squeaky ball. Type up her homework. Bossy. Bossy. Boss dog.

Happy pride to anyone else who before they came out was like, “Oh I’m just a really good ally. I really care about those gays and their rights. It just makes me so mad how they aren’t treated equally. I’m just really viscerally empathetic”

used to have its office in San Francisco on Sansome St., near the Montgomery Street BART station. It evaporated during Covid like so many good things.

Elon Musk wants a Texas compound filled with women he will breed with to preserve his superior genes.

Imagine watching Fury Road and thinking Immortan Joe is the hero.

2024. This photo was from the Pocket Team Week last year. It was the first and only gathering of the Pocket Tiger Team, and the last time an entire Pocket team would gather.

2022. I took this photo at the end of Mozilla All-Hands. I’d never been the Hawaii before, and the long walks on the beach with coworkers and friends felt practically surreal.

2016. I took this photo at my first team week. As a daily user, joining Pocket was a dream for me. I’d always wanted to work on something I actually used, and the product sat at that intersection of web client and news utility that I was already extremely invested in.

Big tech demand for software engineers has past its peak. You can see it in declining hiring & compensation and increased layoffs.

A question is how much AI is playing a role?

As a replacement to coders, I think not much. As the driver of cost cutting to buy GPUs and build data centers? A lot.

Mark Zuckerberg wants you to use AI as friends.

When you invest your time with AI instead of creating genuine bonds with real people, you become completely isolated without even noticing it.

This all serves capitalism and authoritarian regimes.

When you are isolated, you can't find humans to help you financially (AI won't).

When you are isolated, you can't find humans to rise up with you against abuse (AI won't).

You become completely alone (with AI friends), and completely vulnerable to manipulation and exploitation by the system implemented by those who control your AI "friends".

It seems obvious, I know. But how is Mark Zuckerberg able to market this insane idea at all then?

I once worked at a game company/publisher where the head of biz dev said "In any business deal there are two parties. The Fuckie and the Fucker and we are the fucker". This company is no longer in business.

Tony, Pretty Much

We literally told everyone that if Trump got elected again, we’d be living in a police state. But a lot of people thought it wasn’t the biggest issue we faced, accused us of being hyperbolic, or fell for and spread pro-fascist propaganda.

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
