On Thursday night, Congress voted to eliminate federal funding for public media.
This is detrimental to the informed public. This will impact educational programs and both local and nationwide news stations. This is a threat not only to these institutions but to the people.
UX AND UI can be fun. It doesn't need to be over-engineered or designed in a vacuum. These should stay as individual apps or websites, part of a service's branding, not the operating system.
Just a fun little thread so I can say inb4 in case this does happen.
After Liquid Glass UI comes "Liquid UI", where your interactions > appearance. - Details display as reflections in the water or objects inside the water.
- Light refractions can be seen in components.
- Graphics usage on the phone from the UI is now greater than most everyday played games.
Bottom text: This is a joke of course. But with how UI and AI is trending, I wouldn't be surprised. I'm not a big fan of Liquid Glass, it's fundamentally too much UX > UI.
I grew up in a dark place. I love my family and I’m grateful for the lessons I learned but I suffered a lot along the way. When I was in high school I saw a Craigslist ad of a farm looking to get rid of some puppies. I drove 2 hours in my beat up Acura and with my money saved from my retail job I bought my best friend. I named him Swift. He became a light that I never knew I could have.
I didn’t know what true love was before him. I had never had the chance to witness it. But I quickly learned the definition because of him. He held me thru breakups and hard ships. He held me when I lost my mom. He held me when I lost my identity. He held me when I couldn’t get up. Some struggles I’ve faced over the years made me wonder if I should be alive or if I should let myself go. But I always had a tether holding me. My beautiful boy who loved me unconditionally in a way that kept me here. Some days I didn’t even have it in me to get out of bed and Swift would remind me it’s time to get up. I have never loved anyone or anything the way I love Swift.
For 15 years he was the light of my life. The reason for my world. And now he’s not here. I don’t know how I’m going to survive.
For 15 years he was the first thing I saw in the morning and the last thing I saw before falling asleep.
When we would go for walks he wouldn’t watch the path he would turn back and constantly make sure I was still with him. What he didn’t know is I needed him as much as he needed me.
To say I’m heart broken is an understatement. I’m shattered down to my core. The only consistent love I’ve ever had in my life is gone. I would move mountains for Swift, and I promise I fucking tried. I’ve lost a part of my soul with him.
I wish I could do more. I wish I got more. I would give anything in the world right now to have him next to me. I’ve experienced a lot of grief in my life but this is a rare kind. I’ve loved Swift more than I loved myself on numerous occasions. I would do it all again. Every appointment, every cancelled plan, every adjustment in my schedule to make sure he got what he needed. I love that dog more than I love life itself. I hope he knows that. Thank you all for loving him too.
RAHHHHH, I hate e-begging but if anyone could help me try and get a Switch 2 so I can play Pokopia then that would be super epic and badass.

Harvard's just open-sourced their ML Systems textbook. it's extremely practical for not just learning how to build and train models, but to build production systems (the skill that actually matters). topics are cool af:
> building autograd, optimizers, attention, and a mini-pytorch from scratch to truly learn how an ML framework runs. (i love this the most)
> basics of DL, batch sizes, precision, model architectures, and training
> ML performance optimization, HW acceleration, benchmarking, efficiency
so this is not just an intro to machine learning, it's the full package from the beginning to the actual end. right now you can read the book and access the code for free. this is one of the best books I've seen dropping in 2025, so don't sleep on it.
here's the repo (you can find the book link there): https://t.co/5OEWPBNaJp
Aren't news articles supposed to cite their sources?? Why is it so hard to find claims (from within the article). Yes I can do research myself, but that's not the point here. Citations were like drilled into us as high schoolers
