Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 2d agoNew: ICE plans to spend millions of dollars on Boston Dynamics dog robots. ICE says this is to improve "officer safety." The robots can open doors, pick up objects, have 360 cameras, infrared vision, etc. Boston Dynamics didn't respond to question on its stance on ICE www.404media.co/ice-plans-to...
Souring a bit on jj. Something about our work repo very rarely triggers a big mess of conflicts on main and it can be a mess. I can use the op log and roll back, but I have to transplant the work done after the mass divergence event by hand.
Wow. > Spectacle is a feature of late capitalism in which life, rather than being directly lived, is perpetually mediated. There is always something between us and the thing we are supposed to be experiencing. I don’t talk to my mom; I text her. I don’t travel; I watch other people travel on YT.

Playing through the Wipeout Omega Collection in the evenings with my son watching. When I do something good, he mutters, "duuude." And when I crash out, it ends up in the nightly Wipeout Report that is delivered to my wife. I hope he doesn't grow out of this phase.

Playing my 2009 Schecter Blackjack this morning. What a great guitar, glad I failed in selling it. Just need to ditch the JB in the bridge for something like an SH-5.
For awhile, I kept wondering why tech workers were so collectively docile how they allowed themselves to be treated on matters like RTO or AI. Now I realize: the type of person who comes in get their bag of cash and get out also tends not to push back on institutional structures.

Methinks the integration of AI has made Microsoft Word's spellcheck a lot dumber. But of course they are allowed to make company decisions at their own 🤌 discrezioni.
Well this is massive: - Every non-US company sees how they can be cut off from US vendors with a snap of a finger. Non-US vendors getting free advertisement - What does this mean for US AI labs’ offices and employees outside the US? Reads pretty draconian What a mess
