Bird interest will find you once you cross 40 whether you were into birds or not. It just happens.

I use Jev in production. Hype or no hype it’s working.

Is this our new AI daily reality?

Humans think in text? You should be studied.

They made it more of a tourist trap.

The thing that made the design of the original Tesla cars successful, before they went all in on this "future looks like the future" idiocy, is that they just looked good. Tasteful. All that crazy new tech was put in a package which hid it and it just became a sleek, good looking car on the road. Now Tesla design is obsessed with it cosplaying a Ridley Scott 80's wet dream and it looks stupid. The cars look like a show at universal studios theme park. When you do the "future looks like the future" it's always a sci-fi author's idea of "the future" which is cheesy and outdated as soon as its done. This is a boomer's idea of "future" aesthetics and it's not what the actual future looks like.

Chapter 1 was the chapter about why you shouldn't use Typescript for this.

I like it, but, I think the original didn't have its CUTE slider turned all the way to the max like this new one.

The original was dialled-in to be small (obviously), dignified, reserved, charming, practical.

If you look at the original through the eyes of the late 40s, early 50s French consumer then it wasn't leaning so heavily on the Cute factor. That only came out later as we look back on it with nostalgia.

So I don't think the new one is a faithful representation of the original's ethos.

Very cool. Could you add base64 encoding to the query part so that it doesn’t hint at what the screen will say from the link text. Kind of gives the joke away sometimes.

The most poser, performative "engineer" I've worked with still posts their desperate, attention-seeking thoughts on LinkedIn Posts. I wish I had the guts to tell them how sad it is.

To me (a total physics layperson with just an interest in it) space and time HAVE to be emergent and not fundamental because of the real phenomena of spooky action at a distance and dual slit craziness. All spacetime surely has to be connected is what it’s telling us.

I do this with the screensavers on the Apple TV device. They’re amazing.

It's not only the World Cup, it's everything, everywhere, all the time. We are drowning in marketing messages. It's gross.
