When you give your people: - free parking - unreliable transit - streets unsafe for biking - destinations too far for walking… they’re gonna find ways to buy cars. This isn’t people saying they love driving; it’s responding to the only available option.

New bivalent has a 5-10 fold increase in neutralizing antibodies vs. the original booster. It's time to get yours. We're looking at big increases in Covid. Don't wait!

The bivalent booster vs the BQ.1.1 variant There have been 7 lab study preprint reports, 4 with live virus, assessing level of neutralizing antibodies for the bivalent vs original booster. Fortuitously, they converge on a 5-10 fold increase. Another reason to get a booster.

debugging strategy: use sounds or pictures I'm still not satisfied with the examples in this one, I'd love to hear examples of how you use visualizations or sounds to debug
title: use sounds or pictures When you're dealing with a lot of data (like in a game for example), sometimes text isn't the best way for your brain to process it! computer: "<thousands of lines of log messages>" person: "ugh I can't read all this!" computer: boop boop beep beep boop person: "wait, that pattern is super irregular..." Some things you could try: * play a sound every time an event happens! * add red outlines around every HTML element! * display an image representing some data!

Wish we had better red lane enforcement @SFMTA_Muni because they’re so fast when cars don’t use them! Maybe this quick build is just due for a promotion…

If you need something long to contemplate on an upcoming flight, consider my post about whether we'll see prompt-based music generation: thisisimportant.net/posts/pr…

Will we see prompt-based music generation?

An examination of the current state, challenges, and resources needed to create a prompt-based music generation tool like DALL-E 2, but for music.

One fundamental mistake software design teams make is behaving like they are the main character in their user's life story, and not the other way around. Design as if your user -didn't want to use your product or develop expertise -hasn't thought about your product for months

my fave email newsletter, @assaf's labnotes, often shares links to interesting new products. webhooks.fyi/ is great because it helps to standardize webhooks!

I'm also obsessed with the concept of youneedawiki.com/ because google docs increasingly supplants confluence, but content is much more findable and discoverable in confluence (imo). this helps resolve that problem for google docs!
