Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent
Out of a wreckage of a dying star, a new planet was born. And now that planet is evaporating like a comet, leaving a trail that whips around the star every 4 days. It's a remarkable story written in chemical clues. Nobody has ever seen anything like it before. 🧪🔭 esahubble.org/news/heic2613/

Productivity as an adult is just an endless process of applying new psychological tricks and operant conditioning to yourself until an acceptable number of tasks are completed.

Dominic 🇪🇺 🏳️🌈 🇺🇦@theriotnrrd.eurosky.social · 4d agoThis is great from @adamsinger.bsky.social, about how using #AI agents is to cede our agency.

i was fortunate enough to profile Margaret Hamilton in 2019. A really kind and curious person. This was my favorite story she told me:

"Is your product legible to coding agents as users?" I can just smell Christensen's Innovator's Dilemma as I switch from better, more polished, established products to ones that let me point an agent at them. Of the nine points at blog.exe.dev/revisiting-j..., this is the most important one.

This is well-known to those who have been running VMs for a while but is not easily learned if you're new to the space, so we figured it should have a blog post. We have also exposed control over kernel scheduling cookies in a way we believe is novel.

If you don’t take the time to write the words—if you have an LLM build a composite document for you—your end product is not worth reading. It wasn’t worth it to you to write it. Why is it worth anyone else’s time to read it?
