My youngest graduates from @GonzagaU this year. Holy cow. #Classof2022

Haven’t been on here in a while. See it continues to spiral into madness. “Engagement” by forced exposure to really bad people who are still being given a platform to spread hate and false information. Twitter is lost.

Good run down here of Elon's immediate agreement to block accounts President Erdogan wants blocked just before the election in which he appears to be trailing. https://t.co/BFMmCznUWz

As I handed my Dad his 50th birthday card, he looked at me with tears in his eyes and said:

“Y’know, one would have been enough.”

a favorite xkcd I haven’t seen in a while

Just had a meeting with someone who has been at Microsoft over 30 years and just got paid off. That’s a long time.

@timheuer Its about "engagement" now. Meaning send hateful stuff that goes against everything you normally follow to get you to response. I refuse. Twitter sucks now.

@mehran__jalali You see what they want you to see. Screenshot from the docs:

Heads up on northbound I-5 in Fife. Rollover semi-truck. Expect long delays through the area.

[Jason Short @shortproof]

@marypcbuk Mostly because they are very young and influenced by social media. They believe the hype. It’s dumb. Web3 is the pump and dump for stock of the 80s.

[Jason Short @shortproof]

@terrajobst @timheuer You need an adventure or dual sport for that. Both are fun.

Trying to make my LinkedIn profile more interesting if a recruiter is using a large language model like GPT-4 to send me a message.

Looks like it works on the public version of my profile!

Jupiter acts as a "shepherd" to the asteroid belt, maintaining its stability by preventing the asteroids from being pulled towards the sun or propelled towards another planet.

I genuinely mean this. Download the Bing iOS app right now. This is the most remarkable tech product I’ve seen in years.

You can just talk to it. Ask it questions. Ask it to explain concepts you don’t understand. Google search instantly feels outdated and useless.
