What does privacy by design really look like when building an app? This new video is a practical walkthrough of what privacy means and how it affects every stage of your software development lifecycle. I'm really excited to share it! #WWDC25

OK I joined Bluesky and have loved it - much of what I loved about Twitter without much of what I dislike now. And today I got a notification on X that was just an upsell. I’ll leave this account up but am now deleting the X app - keep following me here: https://t.co/rnVsGVxKfz

@nprmusic I’m curious, what’s the fanfare that NPR played for election special coverage this past week? Was that just production music or a composition from somewhere else?

@wbm312 Do they still require invites? Last time I looked into it I wasn’t actually able to join…

@0xAli About showing content despite blocking? Yeah… the product direction is still wild.

Ha, was just scrolling back through my timeline and realized the tweet before this one was *one year* and three months prior.

So my last tweet was 3 months ago. I spent a few weeks trying out Mastodon but it wasn’t the same; not that it was bad, but felt like a pretty different use case. FB has become almost pointless apart from groups. Tried Threads recently… (1/x)

@Spratlinger To bring in another pop culture phenomenon with its own issues, your February tweet (which I’d missed before) reminds me of the Buffy S5 finale: “Dawn, the hardest thing in this world... is to live in it... Be brave. Live. For me.”

13/ Overall, we found no evidence of formal reasoning in language models including open-source models like #Llama, #Phi, #Gemma, and #Mistral and leading closed models, including the recent #OpenAI #GPT-4o and #o1-series. Their behavior is better explained by sophisticated pattern matching—so fragile, in fact, that changing names can alter results by ~10%! We can scale data, parameters, and compute—or use better training data for Phi-4, Llama-4, GPT-5. But we believe this will result in 'better pattern-matchers,' not necessarily 'better reasoners.

Also stay tuned for the data release!

@cwarzel @TaylorLorenz Ha, I also thought from your screenshot that the comment on free speech was by Andreessen - looked it up and only then realized he was screenshotting someone else!

…wait, you… you “don’t know”?

“this thing is dumb”

“this thing is responding to incentives I don’t understand yet”

Just saw an *ad* on here with a community note lol…

[Joey Tyson @theharmonyguy]

Remember about seven years ago when a bunch of apps sprung up to try and fix email? I feel like many of those challenges have now just shifted to tools like Slack…

People often describe LLMs as “reasoning” or “thinking” despite ongoing debates about how much they actually imitate thinking. Here’s an analogy that can help us talk about them without automatically treating them quite so human: https://t.co/HIHPrkDUQn

It’s not just you, T-Mobile seems to be offline in the Bay Area for some reason.

Ha, just realized it’s probably a UI bug - the name of the account and its handle is such a long string of text that it gets cut off, and that’s the line where “Ad” usually appears.

Seeing NBC Olympics tweets in my “Following” stream that are not anywhere marked as ads yet I do not follow the account… Twitter/X, please don’t ruin this last feed that I’m clinging to!
