I am DOCTOR SHIVA AYYADURAI INVENTOR OF EMAIL and I am here to LOSE A LAWSUIT

i want to make it clear to any loyal dems who can read this: if you primarily value being a member of the Good Team trans rights is not optional. you know how you see your boomer parents? that's already you. you'll be sweating as you tell your kids and grandkids it was A Different Time Back Then

State that brings us classic images like this one, Welcome to The War on Cars, I guess?

More Red Line passengers can soon expect faster travel times. The MBTA will increase speeds from North Quincy to JFK to 50 miles an hour, MBTA General Manager and Interim Transportation Secretary Phil Eng said Thursday, as he also touted higher top speeds on the Orange Line.

I went to see Everything which is apparently something You Can go do

As a keychain maximalist, I've been very happy with Yubikey (and other keychain tools) on a quick-release pneumatic hose connector.

Business Insider confirms it: Amazon has warehouses of GPUs that can’t be installed, and is buying them so far in advance that a supply chain team said they “didn’t have a clear forecasted path” to installing them. www.businessinsider.com/amazon-220-b...

Oh no, I have fallen victim to the Aputure fall sale.

Charitably this covers scraping data to generate link previews, but also this is Meta we're talking about, there's gotta be an AI training play here too.

folks do you like long wtyp episodes because the next one will be one

The phrase came up in conversation, no way I couldn't immediately make the graphic

I've struggled for years in how to effectively do my job covering Starlink's impact on the inflight connectivity world against the backdrop of Musk's behavior. That keeps getting harder.

A clear indicator that I'm tired: When I accidentally try to put the Fusilli box away on the Farfalle shelf.

Pre-generative AI I already divided software people into those who treated software as a craft and those who treated it as strictly numbers and engineering and the gap between those has only grown since.

Good point here, all those unlicensed and uninsured bike riders must be racking up millions of dollars in uninsured damages! Will they continue to take no responsibility for the carnage they cause?!

When I first heard about AI being used for menus and advertisements, my concern was largely that it would be used to idealize the food and make it look better than it actually was. At no point did I imagine that restaurants would willingly put out horrific looking images of their food on purpose

Listening to the @nogodsnomayors.com Stuyvesant episode in interactive audio guide mode: Started while passing through Hudson Yards so The Vessel is mentioned right as I walk by it, pausing it for a few hours, resuming on my train north so Hartford is mentioned as we depart New Haven for Hartford.

Weirdly, yeah, I would call the guy who intentionally hit my bike with his massive pickup truck because he was angry at being told he couldn't park in a bike lane "violence"

Harvard just dropped a study AI productivity in software engineering and it found the average increase in productivity from using Claude code is.....zero and for exactly the reasons you'd think fion.ac/jellyfish.pdf

RIP Margret Hamilton aka rope mother. Thanks for getting us to the moon. And she did it all without an LLM or even stack overflow. A true legend. news.mit.edu/2026/margare...

I'm back!

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

lotta people out here bragging about "training models" but why do that when you can model trains

NYC is opening 160 car-free (but treat-filled) streets and plazas to enjoy fun and safe fall festivities this spooky season. Find one near you at nyc.gov/trickorstreets.
