CNN and NBC reporting that 3 members of the military were on board the Blackhawk, but no designated VIPs.

I continue to believe this stuff is still what most humans want out of social media.

The Watch Duty app has provided more life-saving information, adding real value, to a larger audience, than any of the AI use cases that people unfurl in those LLM-written threads. I'd like to see a company make it a priority to use LLMs to help regular people live normally.

The combination of less wind, and the availability of air assets, probably saved hundreds, if not thousands of homes. I think the #SunsetFire will be contained soon. But challenge: mass evacuation of northern Hollywood/West Hollywood is not tenable. Gridlock remains.

We live in the middle of the city. This fire, which (right now) is looking like it'll be contained, verges on the Mid-City and Hollywood - the most dense parts of this dense city. There is no interface between urban and rural areas anymore. Entire cities can burn.

There are numerous fires burning IN the city. Power is out. 35,000 people under mandatory evacuation orders. (Where will they go?). And this is just what we know. On the other side of the fire lines, it's a thermal black box.

This is, by far, the worst fire in the LA basin in the 14 years I've lived here. The urban/rural interface is burning. Average wind (AVERAGE) gusts are 25 mph. The county with the most fire resources in the country is overwhelmed. It will get worse before it get better.

What's the word for that anxiety you feel when you're stuffing your bag in the overhead bin and realize that a hundred people are waiting to board behind you?

Huh oh. As a committed anti-conspiracy-theorist for the "phones listen to your microphone and targeted ads based on what you say" thing I can tell this is going to be exhausting

Billboards on I-80 - The trip to and from SFO - tells a story of crazes. 5 years ago - fintech, fintech! 2-3 years ago - crypto, web3. Last year - AI for your product! This year - compute capacity for your AI.

If you want a diversion, tune to PBS. They're showing Ken Burns' series on the national parks. If only for Peter Coyote's soothing voice

Quite unsettling to send a dozen or more "are you OK" text to folks in 3 different cities in one day, after MCIs that they might plausibly been affected by. One friend was a few blocks from Bourbon Street. My mind understands the moment, but my brain is begging - just stop.

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers. Science works, y'all. www.startribune.com/closure-of-n...

Reporters, this is a story worth covering. It might not be as glamorous as high-profile hacks, and it might not attract as many clicks, but it’s important. The quiet adoption of HTTPS has improved online security for billions of people, and it deserves attention. medium.com/@boblord/the...

People with homes are so rarely cold at night that I just don’t think homes are necessary anymore.

Yesterday I had a fellow YouTuber ask me how we ended up being a credible source of information to our audiences and I realized that you almost can’t be a professional creator /without/ doing that. “Authentic” is very very connected to “trustworthy.”

I'm an asymmetric on the other app but apparently and literally entirely symmetric on Bluesky. Channeling Noether, I wonder which quantity I'm conserving. And if that isn't a physics dad joke, I don't know what else you want.

I tested a bunch of the commercial agentic AIs this week, on a lark, and with an easy task. One of them is highly superior. Just totally crushed the others. I won't say which, but apparently it's compatible with air signs and fire signs.

For me, I use the idea of parallel computations in branched universes as an illustration of how Many-Worlds might work without claiming it definitively proves MWI as the correct foundational theory of quantum physics. substack.com/profile/1483...

This is a great interview! "There's always some burning incident that's completely on fire..." (I also laughed at the "my roadmap is mainly surviving". Truer words, my brother in janitorial services, truer words.)

Here's a fairly ingenious way that some teachers are using to integrate AI in their coursework. Basically - they encourage students to use it. And they ask students to run problem sets / essay questions through an LLM by itself and then turn THAT in, alongside the original work.
