Text is limited in some ways. Therefore i think this AI start-up is interesting. More focus on sensors and the real physical world seems like a good idea. "The worlds biggest problems are physical not digital"

checking things off my ToDo list, one at a time... having a physical sheet on the wall helps me.

done beating email/dns systems into submission, looks like I might have found a visual designer (phew... I suck at that), and now for a break before diving back into info-packet-landia

I guess in fairness, Google breaks things all the time too. My YouTube app just shows the dark overlay on top of the video permanently about 30% of the time. Today, i hit a bug that made it impossible to close the app.

I think I'm just more frustrated with Apple because a) I have literally no recourse except to buy their hardware; and b) I'm not constantly surrounded by people telling me how genius Google is and how great and user-friendly their products are.

Discovered an incredible painting today: The Babylonian Marriage Market, by Edwin Long.

Edwin Long is thought to have conceived the painting in direct response to creation of the new laws centered around women's ownership and the ongoing women's suffrage movement.

Every face tells such a different story, and so much of civilization is contained within this painting. What an amazing work.

On the W3C blog, François Daoust and Ian Jacobs wrote a recap of Breakouts Day 2024 .
They summarized key aspects of the event.

Topics covered an interesting mix including: Detailed technical discussions (FedCM, workers, RDF); High-level strategic discussion (AI, Privacy, how we fund the ecosystem); Ideas for working more effectively (incubation, chartering, managing registries, running meetings) and more. https://www.w3.org/blog/2024/breakouts-day-2024-recap/

#OTD in 1959.

A team of computer manufacturers, users, & university people led by Grace Hopper meets to discuss the creation of a new programming language that would be called COBOL.

Throughout her career, Hopper made significant contributions to computer science, including the development of the concept of machine-independent programming languages, which greatly facilitated software development. Her compiler converted English terms into machine code understood by computers.

The “great” thing about England is that when these articles come out and you google the person who wrote them it’s not something boring like “their dad is a trust fund manager” it’s “their dad is a baron, their grandfather edited the newspaper this appears in, and their family *founded the private Bank of England*”

What's preventing #Threads from creating a global index of fediverse posts, then incentivizing the third party mastodon apps to populate their feed with that index?

Jay Grayber CEO BlueSky:

This feels like an unfortunate analogy.
