I cannot emphasize enough that the New York City subway is not scary. It’s one of my favorite parts of living here. I grew up in the suburbs having to drive on highways everywhere and that’s way scarier

With the video game industry in an economic and intellectual tailspin, SEGA whispers “repurpose assets, put a pirate hat on it, and tell a simple story that makes people feel something” as it backs its U-HAUL away from the money factory, cash flittering from the windows

a good post, but I also recommend quitting absolutely everything for a little while and and then seeing how much information you still get regardless of trying to not know anything. it will be a lot, probably still more than you want or need to know! linksiwouldgchatyou.substack.com/p/how-to-sta...

I rarely comment outside my weird lanes but look, the whole AI Hail-Mary pass for execs is about crushing labor power, which is the main thing standing between them and total extraction. They hate their employees because [some of] their employees have self-respect and a moral compass.

This constantly gets brought up in response to AI criticism. No one objects to these applications. They object to the consumer facing dreck that's being marketed to us as groundbreaking and forced onto our devices.

Congestion pricing continues to go as planned, with some buses running too fast for their schedules! This is an opportunity to use these improvements to run faster AND more frequent service.

DeepSeek took off in part because, in a first, it offered a reasoning model that explains to you what it's doing. Its success shows how little AI product teams have done so far to make their products appealing to normal people: www.platformer.news/deepseek-des...

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's adolescent energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...
