It's like a very petty victory when I can get my M4 MacBook Pro to work hard enough to hear the fan. "HA! I AM WORTHY OF YOU NOW!"

For agent rules like "don't use git reset --hard" it's not enough to put firm instructions in your AGENTS or CLAUDE md, you really need to add a PreToolUse command to firmly forbid.

One of the funniest and saddest parts of sending physical Christmas cards is just how many parts of the process are broken. Getting back bounced cards in June for addresses in Germany. Four rounds with USPS to get postage correct.

In the macOS 27 improvements list "Improved RDMA over Thunderbolt". Curious if this is going to be part of the M5 Ultra Studio play: buy four and we'll auto-configure a cluster!
(I know it's possible to do this already, just curious if Apple's gonna explicitly support it!)

SendGrid is under a very broad attack and has been for weeks; I'm getting daily phishing emails, many of which made it through GMail's spam filters. (They're now in spam because I manually flagged as phishing.)

Hollywood has spent nearly $600 million trying to bring Matt Damon home.
Have they considered maybe he just doesn’t want to come back?

"The economy is clearly doing great, look at this job report" causing a bear day on the stock market is yet another data point on why I am not a day trader!

OK - fun experiment. A very simple form where you say what you offer and who you'd like to meet. Could be business, personal, a date, investment, whatever. I'll make a best effort to route you to someone I know.

My startup, Medcorder, Inc, is winding down. We're sad we weren't able to make it commonplace for patients to get a recording of their consult, despite overwhelming data indicating its benefits. 1/3

We are so grateful for our advisors, investors, and teammates who built something really amazing and touched the lives of tens of thousands of patients across the country with the first and best product for patient-directed recording.

And it's four years later and...we didn't shut it down at all. We kept it running as a labor of love while we worked other jobs. And then something incredible happened. Slowly usage started to grow. Organically! So we've been putting more work into building and polishing it!

I wonder if one of the great dividends of an inexhaustible supply of almost-free robot labor is going to be tidy and well-organized spaces.
If we can continuously clean and polish and garden and manicure, imagine how beautiful every part of the world might be.

Isn't filtering spam from calls and email like the most obvious use of AI and incredible value? Why are we still struggling with this in 2026?

The fraudulent LinkedIn outreach is getting weird. A PE firm that claims to want to acquire a a...public school district?
I'm getting about one of these phishes a week on LinkedIn.

Oh cool, so @CarnivalCruise lost my passport number along with a bunch of other PII and their way of apologizing is to give me 24 months of free service with @TransUnion, who *also* was breached last year.
"Sorry we fumbled your data, we'll give it to another fumbler. We good?"

There is this funny trust inversion thing where if a person presages a statement with all the of reasons to disclaim their answer it makes the hearer vastly more likely to trust their answer.
