I wonder if the Vision Pro has low enough latency to show a TV screen with a false horizon behind it that would let kids watch movies on car trips without getting motion sick.

My jokey solution to the Fermi paradox is that really great VR causes civilizations to plateau before they can figure out interstellar travel. But maybe not at $3500/pair.

I think CoPilot is making fun of me. Sparks of AGI?

Can we please make sure that whatever regulatory body we form to police AI and blow up data centers has "Turing" in the name?

I attribute all my success as a software engineer to spending way too much time looking at dashboards.

Twitter seems to be defaulting me to this "For you" page BS when I load the site now. Lame.

Do any agencies do controlled burns in the Pacific Northwest? Seems like this would have been a great week to start more fires -- the air is already terrible and rain is on the way.

You can build a reliable process out of multiple unreliable ones. If only it was more feasible to spread my doordash credit over multiple restaurants, I might be able to eat at noon on a regular basis.

Highly recommend your test suite generates fake names specifically designed to cause problems. I was delighted today when Arnfjörð ΘΕΟΔΩΡΟΣ_28790ca7 caused a test failure related to case handling today.

Quite enjoying going through @jamwt and @tklein’s @sevreview podcast: downtimeproject.com/podcast/… Because outages (hopefully) happen rarely, the best way to level up is to learn vicariously through *other people’s* outages. And to hear super experienced engineers retro them!

One of the very memorable parts about working at Dropbox was the system we used for naming outages (or "sevs" as we called them). Filing a sev was fairly common, and depending on the severity it spun up lots of processes around post-mortems and customer communication.
