This was a fun episode from my days as a reporter: the hunt for Bitcoin founder Satoshi Nakamoto. Author Benjamin Wallace captures the wackiness of the moment, including the slow-motion car chase down the I-10 :) https://t.co/vUJu9gHSA4

"Bye-bye, cable clutter," says the company that made MagSafe, the Lightning connector, spawned all sorts of $150 dongle industries and so on. Still love the iPhone

“fanfiction,” “theonion,” “okcupid,” “youporn,” “4chan,” “e-hentai”….. not great training for anyone whose job is to provide answers to the world’s search questions.

Fascinating to see the news and information sources used to train ChatGPT. As you get further down the list (the more expansive one), its weird personality and tenuous link to facts makes more sense. https://t.co/EkkiW0cYz1

@stephen_json Of course! I still enjoy my geotagged news from “News Nearby” at the Merc :)

Can't help but think of this quote from Steinbeck, who grew up in the Salinas valley: “During the dry years, the people forgot about the rich years, and when the wet years returned, they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way.” https://t.co/9NxrPEkEGh

@chrisroat @MarkRober @thephysicsgirl Nice job @chrisroat ! My wife has been looking into @MarkRober’s courses for our kids. Have you started in on them?

Netflix to charge $6.99 a month for basic with ads. Basic is $9.99 a month without. Disney + to charge $10.99 for no ads, and $7.99 with ads in December. So, two big companies are telling us they believe the optimal price of ad-free is $3 a month. https://t.co/4M49QZupaV

Wow. Healthy support for ad-free subscription tier at Paramount+ https://t.co/YGrQhoX1ou

Fed Chair Powell 21:34 does NOT think the US is in recession right now. And that early GDP figures tend to be revised. https://t.co/BsX1gvr0Tl

People are willing to pay for ad-free services but it’s questionable they’ll want to go back to seeing ads to save a few bucks. “Open Letter to Netflix” by Chris Roat
