Knockoff is now live!

Filter out the knockoff crap brands on Amazon.

Sorry to brands like WNPETHOME, EHEYCIGA, YXYL, LU&MN, JOYIN, TOMY, GODONLIF, YOOJEE, LINGTENG, LANEIGE, VISCOO, BIODANCE, COOFANDY, BALENNZ, TOSY and LUENX.

we as software engineers are becoming beholden to a handful of well funded corportations. while they are our "friends" now, that may change due to incentives. i'm very uncomfortable with that.

i believe we need to band together as a community and create a public, free to use repository of real-world (coding) agent sessions/traces. I want small labs, startups, and tinkerers to have access to the same data the big folks currently gobble up from all of us. So we, as a community, can do what e.g. Cursor does below, and take back a little bit of control again.

Who's with me?

Wait, so the founder of Anthropic is "Amodei," as in "loves god"?

And he leads Anthropic, meaning "human-centered," which is being used in military strikes?

And the creator of ChatGPT is "Altman," as in "an alternative to humans"?

And he leads OpenAI, which is completely closed?

And then there's "Gemini," meaning "two-faced," from a company that promised to do no evil?

And the whole global AI arms race is being driven by people who claimed to be worried about AGI taking over the world?

Either the universe is an extremely cliché writer, or has a brilliant sense of humor

Honored to receive the #TIME100 Impact Award

Thank you @TIME for recognizing that building real progress in women’s sports is a legacy worth being known for. It’s one I want my daughters to grow up with proof that when the world stops underestimating women, anything can happen.

If you're making more typos in iOS lately, you're not going crazy - it's a bug in iOS that causes the keyboard to randomly insert the wrong letter instead of what you typed.

Matt Levine’s summary of the AMD / OpenAI deal is hilarious

[Mitch Lewandowski @lwndow]

@peteryared Interesting. I’d been assuming it’s because everyone has to *communicate* with it. “So much work to explain what I want” type of deal. I can usually get the staunchest of resistors by having them try talking to it. I’ll have to think on the delegation, I like that take.

[LaurieWired @lauriewired]

if you’re an EE, CS, or cryptography student

write your thesis on public key cryptography at the image sensor level

Proof of Physical capture will become a backbone of society soon.

i don’t know who needs to hear this but don’t update to macOS Tahoe if you use 3 dongles to connect to your original iPod via FireWire. Tahoe removes FireWire support

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Daniel clearly hasn't seen the language balls.

[Andy Herman @AndyHermanNFL]

Can’t wait until they unify all the apps into a new app called cable.
