For the few people still hoping to be able to use their Humane AI Pins after service officially ended, this weekend was a bit of a mess. www.wired.com/story/the-hu...

The day the Humane Ai Pin died, it was also reborn. Or at least, there was hope. Minutes after Humane shut down the servers supporting its doomed device, a dedicated band of hackers had the code that could allow it to live on. @boone.bsky.social was there for its resurrection.

Journalism gets worse when reporters are chained to their desks for no good reason and not allowed the flexibility to do their jobs. That's just science.

In the aftermath of the LA fires, I visited John Mills, leader of the much hailed fire tracking app Watch Duty. Mills built the app because he's pissed, but now it has become a lifeline for residents and a community for volunteer first responders. @wired.com www.wired.com/story/watch-...

From @wired.com: an interview with #WatchDuty app founder. Many of us have depended on them through the LA Fires: "We're doing like 30,000 requests a second at peak right now. We're doing more users in an hour than we've done in like a month. It's absolutely bonkers." www.wired.com/story/watch-...
