Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

Finally back to zb development again. I've got a design I'm happy with for remote caching, and now I'm slowly rewriting the build backend to support it.

It's been a month since NYU Langone ended care. Letitia James deadline came and went, NYU still has not restarted care. Mamdani refuses to answer questions from trans journos over the real steps he can take, like directing H+H to absorb patients or enforcing human rights law. Important thread.

hi, cis folks! it’s been a little over a month since the 2 biggest private hospitals in NYC ended trans youth care. some folks thought this was resolved with a judge’s ruling or a letter from the NYAG. care has *not* resumed! there’s a simple ask ⬇️ for you, if you’re willing to fight with us. 🧵

Manhattan Hospital Ends Medical Treatment for Transgender Youth NYU Langone Health cited the "current regulatory environment" in its decision to discontinue its gender medicine program for minors.

Fun fact: when I was first prototyping Wire, I called it "goose" as a pun on Guice. I don't have access to the original doc, but I believe this is the photo I included in my first writeup. Here it is: the goose/Wire goose.

A goose on top of a water's rippling surface. The water's edge in the bottom-left corner has various small smooth stones.

Outer Wilds, if you haven't played it yet, is one of the best games of all time. It's a fun space exploration game with a timeloop twist, and 90% of all game progress happens in your head, as you learn things about the universe and your situation. Absolutely play it if you haven't yet.

Played Chants of Sennaar over the weekend. Fun little game! Loved the art, puzzles were fun, and a neat little story about connecting people.
