Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

NEW: The United States has halted all packages from China until further notice because Trump's tariffs got rid of a key import duty exemption. @zeyiyang.bsky.social has all the details about the implications. I've never seen anything like this in my life tbh www.wired.com/story/tariff...

The more I use GenAI coding tools, the more I am convinced keeping to "traditional" software engineering practices is what works most productive here. As in 10x more productive. E.g. - Small changes - Test that the change works before moving on - (unit) tests wherever you can

OpenAI’s Operator enters the AI Agent race, handling tasks like buying tickets or booking restaurants via its $200 Pro plan. It partners with sites like Stubhub and Instacart, though some, like Reddit, block it. This could spark an even worse spam arms race as bots become easier to create & deploy

the thing is that Reddit fucking loves to throw tantrums against the mods and admins it’s the closest we have to forums now and everyone has the resulting deep distrust of the mods I have seen remarkably little pushback on banning twitter links, this is genuinely popular so far

If a new feature annoys users, makes their product usage more difficult/distracting, and cannot be turned off for paying customers: This is not "AI." It's a feature to increase customer churn - regardless of how cleverly engineered it is, how how expensive it was to build.

Why are ultra-wealthy people who feel uneasy about the security of their riches so often driven to support authoritarian parties that wield xenophobia and cultural reaction against those who defend the integrity of the state against the ultra-wealthy? Such a mystery.

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?

Interesting: Meta created React Native. It’s used (with components at least) in their flagship apps: Facebook (iOS, Android), Instagram (Meta Quest), Messenger (desktop). Google created Flutter. And yet none of their flagship apps use it (Gmail, YouTube, Maps, Calendar).

UK media is cautiously beginning to report the new allegations against Neil Gaiman. Our libel laws are very tough, hence the caution. They’ve linked to the NY Mag story. The allegations are so horrific that the piece is hard to read. I skimmed parts of it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I remember in 2005 when Jude Law cheated on Sienna Miller with their nanny and I was like “what’s WRONG with him, Sienna is a CATCH” and my mom was like “it has actually nothing to do with her. there is just a certain type of man for whom nothing is ever enough” I think about that like every day

The business model of AI chatbots, like Cleo AI and Bright, that offer financial advice is to upsell people to take on high interest credit cards or cash advances. This is similar to apps like Credit Karma which also upsells products that actually run counter to the idea of the app.

A reveal in the debate about fact-checking: how little the platforms care about users who come to Facebook/X etc. for information. I get why malign or crooked people might build a business promoting floor wax as a cure for cancer. Are they the true customer? Apparently yes.

What do you find to be the best (and worst?) parts of the academic community moving over to Bluesky? I personally enjoy the more friendly community here and the lack of algorithm baiting, but do feel like it is a bit insular and could limit our reach to the general public. 🧪 #AcademicSky

When I was 23, the house I lived in burned to the ground. I was asleep, and got out with nothing but my pjs and my roommate’s dog. When you lose your house it is not about the sofa or tv. It’s the concert t-shirt you bought with your best friend, and the last letter your grandfather wrote you.

One interesting thing Blake mentioned in this podcast: recruiters refer to headcount they have to fill as “rep.” Apparently it’s short for “repetition” (like in the gym when you work out.) Because that’s what the are from their POV. Repeat the same motions until you fill the seat!
