Random tweets from a random guy. Fun and functional is the way to go. Anything I post without evidence is an educated guess at worst. Not AI Generated.

If you want to stop pain from hurting, you have to identify what’s causing it. If that doesn’t work, you’re not identifying the right source and might need help with a more complex solution.

Nothing says “I don’t want to sell you anything” quite like fifty random unrelated interruptions of the user experience.

Antitheft stores definitely interferes with impulse buys. Since there’s no way to identify us, I’ve walked past no less than five products I would buy if I didn’t have to talk to an associate first. This week.

You can’t call Moore’s Law dead if they aren’t even trying to keep up with it.

[Aaron Daniel @amdtech]

Probably truth: storage and memory are getting expensive because they’re not driven to increase density according to Mooore’s Law, and AI workloads caught them flatfooted. We should have seen greater increases by now, and they gave up trying, choosing to ignore demand.

I'm curious how many Walmart stores that went anti-theft have gone the other direction... you know, maybe when the local idiots stop idioting because they can't idiot anymore?

[Aaron Daniel @amdtech]

Technology companies have been deep into mapping software for decades now and nobody does “avoid this turn always”? Is it really that hard?

[Aaron Daniel @amdtech]

If your community's layout and signs are obtuse, impossible to understand, and especially include punishment at the outset, your community is inherently hostile. It takes a minimum of two personal interactions just to be welcome. Maybe that's your goal. But wasting locals' time?

Stack Scheduling would be nice. Nothing says "we don't understand our customers" quite like making personal calendars and email addresses for station and service users which don't honor their workflows.

These “peace” officers’ snap judgments are exactly what ruins lives in an instant! #TikTok https://t.co/3em5rBHHr8

Reason #1827762 I hate Siri: “what grocery stores besides Walmart and Fiesta are nearby?” *finds literally the opposite* FFS.

Bonus points if y'all figure out how to register a published anonymous-access token next to the existing PKI.

[Aaron Daniel @amdtech]

Idea: Give us the ability to add a secure token header to SMTP messages where a particular sender won't be allowed if they don't have the token in the message headers; Compromise is easy: if the client chooses to, the token can be rotated without notice.

[Aaron Daniel @amdtech]

Standard Contacts features can be designed to trade these tokens by default, or a shared key model could probably work... they're not going to be used anywhere but the secured SMTP connection and used to match, so wouldn't be too heavy unless the sender sends too much.

Delays aren’t just. Anybody who believes otherwise is inhumane. https://t.co/kFjbMpf2V4

If Tesla were smart, they’d commission the other automakers to install their brain with LoRA equipment… not for control, for knowledge. Imagine pulling up to a four way intersection flashing red lights and being able to confidently navigate it.

Keeping human pets takes its toll somehow.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Troubling

[Aaron Daniel @amdtech]

It’s the height of delusion to believe your society is the best and anybody who graces its borders deserves your indoctrination and rehabilitation. Sometimes, there are lost causes, and you’re going to suffer until you learn this.

[Aaron Daniel @amdtech]

Keeping human pets for life is less humane than the death penalty. Both are literal murder.

[Aaron Daniel @amdtech]

Do you know why capitalism doesn’t seem predatory? Because the predators hijacked the indoctrination system.

[Aaron Daniel @amdtech]

I wonder if the original traffic signal inventor was told their idea would never succeed and nobody would ever go for it.
