I created 'Tabula Rasa', a simple yet powerful Firefox extension for navigating tabs (and history items) mainly with the keyboard.

It has changed completely how I interact with my browser. I love it and I hope you like it too!

In April, we asked readers to share how loneliness was affecting them, and 1,400 people responded. A new Opinion video features several dozen of them, ranging in age from 16 to 93. Their stories make clear that no one is alone in feeling lonely.

Friday I captured around 200k images of our sun. I asked my friend @TheVastReaches for help working all the data so we could create an incredibly detailed image of our star, and we're nearly done. Take a look at this close crop of the final 140 MP pic we'll be sharing tomorrow:

We’ve seen a gazillion startups using OpenAI APIs to do “co-pilot for X”. What’s next?

Enter *physical* co-pilot! Here’s a compelling demo: you improvise by playing a “low resolution” piano, and the co-pilot compiles it real-time to Hi-Fi music! It unleashes our inner pianist.🧵
