The AI winter was harsh.
I remember sitting in a nearly empty room, listening to a lecture on neural networks — esoteric knowledge I thought I’d never use. Sure, it might come in handy for image recognition, but that’s about all.
How times have changed.

NYPD opening fire in a train station for 3 bucks is insanity.
There is no possible way to justify that kind of aggression.
Those cops just wanted to kill somebody.

I want to be so clear right now. I am Puerto Rican.
My people have been through multiple genocides, colonization by two empires, mass theft of our resources, slavery, and sterilization of 2/3rds of the island up to as recent as the 1970s.
You're out of your fucking mind if you think I will sit back and watch Israel do to Palestine what the US and Spain did to Puerto Rico.

"Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure citizens will be on their best behavior"
"Ellison said AI would be used in the future to constantly watch and analyze vast surveillance systems, like security cameras, police body cameras, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dashboard cameras."

Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure ‘citizens will be on their best behavior’:
"“We’re going to have supervision,” Ellison said. “Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times, and if there’s a problem, AI will report that problem and report it to the appropriate person. Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”" https://archive.ph/qqhCj

The Pro-Israel Techies Who Got TikTok Banned:
"In the aftermath, a group of influential pro-Israel activists from the US tech sector, angry over TikTok’s unwillingness to more rigorously censor pro-Palestinian content, began actively lobbying for a ban on the platform. In other words, TikTok became a target in a global (dis)information war over Gaza."
This is damning. https://matzko.substack.com/p/the-pro-israel-techies-who-got-tiktok

💡 CSS Tip!
Using scroll-driven animations, you can link a CSS variable with a range slider and easily update its value!
No more JavaScript to do this. A few lines of CSS, one HTML element and you can update any value in real time.
It's chrome only for now but I am sure this will be one of the most used feature in 2 or 3 years.
Demo: https://codepen.io/t_afif/full/GRbawQm via :codepen: @codepen

You think you need an SPA?
Try this and you feel no difference (often):
- extremely fast loading page
- onunload: store scroll offset e.g. in localStorage
- at the bottom of the HTML restore scroll offset
- make slow JS inside the page async and use nice spinners
And voilà a page load feels like an inline content update, just like an SPA.
If you want you can also add
@view-transition {
navigation: auto;
}
which makes it even smoother in browsers that support it

Metformin decelerates aging clock in male monkeys

Very significant finding published in CELL
fwiw i'd be looking closely for any correlation between metformin (which is widely prescribed) and age of onset of dementia

prediction markets like this one reacted strongly to the 10 SEP debate, and sentiment has generally continued on the same upward path for Harris. given that the two of them continue their current campaigns & there are no calamitous events in the interim, I see no indication that these trends will shift again.
