I kept losing my place in audiobooks.
The "30-sec rewind" button is useless when you've been gone for a week.
So I built PageMatch: paste a sentence from the book → get the exact timestamp back.

Bía Sleep is backed by sleep experts and built on 40 years of neuroscience. By using real-time neurofeedback Bía helps calm a racing mind, optimize deep sleep, and wake you up strong and ready to take on the day.

We are releasing → https://t.co/9bfbbdJZip today: AI driven embeddable CAD. If you ever enjoyed my OSS projects (zustand, react-spring, r3f, pmndrs), these all came out of CC. 🍻
A small 🇨🇭 team has been working on CAD for so many years, release seemed always out of reach. This is a huge milestone for us and i'd appreciate a RT. 🙏
Real results from 6 nights of Bía 😳
For the very first time Bía is being used by hundreds of real people all across Canada and the USA.
Thanks @rich_alfano for sharing the experiment he is running using his Eight Sleep.
Researchers spent 500 hours and $70,000 and found LG TVs logging plain text transcripts in standby, mapping every device in the house, and feeding it to LG's ad arm
Unplug the internet and it saves the files until you plug back in.
LG says its TVs don't record ambient conversations.
The evidence begs to differ.
216 million of these are sitting in living rooms.
Where are the regulators?

When I created Raspbian for the Raspberry Pi, I was excited to help bring low-cost compute into the hands of a next generation of tinkerers and programmers.
However, I now despair that a Raspberry Pi can cost upwards of $300 because AI shortages are making personal computing unaffordable. Furthermore, bright young people are being discouraged from learning programming because they are being told it is now a commodity skill that AI will do.
I have to ask myself what it was all for. Is this the future we were promised? If so, I'm starting to regret my part in it.
I used GPT-6 Astra to get AAA PC games running on my iPad mini!
Skyrim, Batman: Arkham City, Hades, and Age of Empires II.
The actual Windows versions, running locally with touch controls. No streaming.
Demo below and I'll share a repo and setup guides soon!
I have spent 23 years documenting the global LED transition of city lighting from space.
Across my 4 missions to the ISS, I have photographed every major city on Earth, building a data set of the gradual replacement of sodium vapor lighting with LEDs.
The warmer, yellow-orange of gas discharge lamps has been phased out worldwide to multi-colored LEDs, citing energy savings and environmental reasons.
Widespread adoption has markedly changed the way our cities look from orbit, and as many have pointed out, how they feel to those on the ground!
Here is a collection of the most striking before-and-after photos I have observed:
So Astra is able to identify sounds from mel spectrograms
zero-shot.
I don't think we've scratched the surface of what this model can do (and this is light reasoning btw)
Much of the internet thinks:
> meat will remedy my autoimmune gastritis
> sunlight is the cure
> the culprit is the food I consume
These are unlikely.
The sunlight assessment is claiming low vitamin D levels are making my immune system misfire. My vitamin D has been sustainably high for years.
The meat argument claims that animal tissue contains missing nutrients that will cure me. This is a misunderstanding of my condition.
My low ferritin is a downstream consequence of autoimmune gastritis and not the cause of it. The autoimmune attack destroys my stomach's acid producing parietal cells. That compromises my gut's highly acidic microenvironment that is required to absorb iron.
As evidence, for years we’ve tried every possible oral iron formulation to correct it, including proferrin, a heme iron polypeptide similar to how iron exists in meat, lactoferrin, as well as non-complex forms including iron bisglycinate. We also tried different times of the day, and pairings to improve absorption. Nothing worked.
My autoimmune profile began at a young age when I was regularly eating red meat and was in the sun for multiple hours a day. I was diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid disease when I was 21 years old. In immunology, the connection between thyroid and stomach autoimmunity is sufficiently common and tightly linked that it has a name: thyrogastric syndrome.
My body’s genetic and immunological architecture made a mistake decades ago, failing to distinguish between my own tissues and external threats. Trying to cure a decades old, genetically driven, antigen specific immune failure by switching to a meat diet or getting sunlight is like trying to fix a corrupted line of software code by altering the temperature of the room.
If I am to fix this mistake inside my body, I first need to figure out what specifically went wrong. That’s why I am sequencing one million of my immune cells.
By isolating and sequencing these individual cells, we can identify the rogue platoon of soldiers who are doing the damage. Once we know who they are, we can design specific solutions to stop their attacks.
##
How I’m sequencing my immune system
Think of your immune cells as trillions of soldiers. Each carries a unique key designed to unlock and destroy a specific threat, like a virus or bacteria.
A standard blood test allows you to see how many soldiers you have, but not their keys. Sequencing 1 million individual immune cells allows us to read the exact pattern of the teeth on every single key.
This is important for my autoimmune gastritis (AIG) because a specific platoon of rogue soldiers has developed keys that unlock an attack on my stomach lining.
Right now, we don’t know who they are. This test will inform us of which soldiers have gone rogue and are attacking me from within.
Once we know soldier and key, we know what therapy path to pursue to shut them down.
