Yeah, sure would be nice, Jim…. "The F-150 Lightning will no longer be available to order in its current form, but we are working on transforming it as part of our Universal Electric Vehicle (UEV) platform. Our support for existing owners remains fully unchanged."

Extreme weather and grid instability are unfortunately making power outages more common. Having an F-150 PowerBoost Hybrid or F-150 Lightning with a 240V Pro Power Onboard outlet means you can have a backup power source right in your driveway.

I rely on a delightful band of misfits in Missouri for inexpensive, high throughput, low power, evolved corsi-rosenthal setups to keep air quality high. They make kits using multiple small PC fans that take off-the-shelf 3M filters. www.cleanairkits.com

Clean Air Kits are super efficient air purifiers built simply from banks of silent PC pressure fans and 3M Filtrete virus+allergen filters. Quiet enough to leave on always, powerful enough to protect ...

A photo of the first page of my story in Brave New Weird vol 4. Drosera regina A.L. Goldfuss The men knew before she did. Before this boy, before sophomore year, before even her twelfth birthday, they had jostled her on the sidewalk and hooted from cars, searching for something just past her skin. But now, with her panties stripped off and the boy’s eyes on her, Jackie felt a strange prickling. A warning pacing behind her ribs. A mouth about to drip. The boy’s family had a single-wide, newer than her mother’s, and the carpet in his bedroom was soiled with crumbs. The thin pile bit into Jackie’s shoulders and spine as she thought how, inches below her, was fresh air and cool earth. “Feels good, right?” the boy said, sliding a part of him along a part of her. It did feel good, at least in one place. Another place hurt, and that seemed to be where the boy was interested most. On the other side of the door, his father watched television in the living room. “Here I go,” the boy said, and Jackie bit her lip as he pressed into the place that didn’t feel good at all. He thrust once, twice, pimply face blocking out the inset ceiling light, then yelped in her ear and pulled out, leaving behind a hole.

Red and black graphic box featuring cover art by Matt Blairstone; a human form seated, one hand on a book emblazoned with the Tenebrous skull & laurel. Where the screen cuts from red to black, the flesh is stripped from the human, exposing its skeleton. It thrusts its harm into the air, transforming into a death's head moth. It looks pretty cool.

Of course it's mostly a mixture of those two things. I've seen a lot of organizations where it is mostly the latter, and only a few organizations where it is mostly the former. The large models seem to introduce velocity, that's for sure.

ɹǝʌɐǝʍ@weaver.bsky.social · 4w ago

"Velocity" in the part of an organization that produces machine behavior is at best a measure of bandwidth for turning adaptive capacity (people!) into the essential complexity of solutions to problems. At worst, it is a measure of bandwidth for introducing accidental complexity.

I have been thinking about Fred Brooks a lot since I decided I can't opt out of thinking about large model technology, and here is an idea I am trying on for size:

oh this is GOOD Been meaning to get the Crisis Engineering book since @anildash.com recommended it. For me, this is how we collectively fix social media and the broken web: "The team isn't sitting around a table debating options —scientists all over the world <try things in parallel>." YES.

@weaver.bsky.social once said to me that over a long enough timeline, any policy platform that is not isomorphic to "halal vs haram" is doomed because that's the level of complexity that we so far are able to make travel past multiple generational thresholds and I think about that possibly too much.
