anyone using Windows (not remote) able to confirm this?

Test: up the cursor size to max in system settings and tell me if the custom CSS cursor on wondermake.xyz scales up too, or not? (obvs. test normal size to compare)

It seems DHH doesn’t realise that Kathy Sierra might have changed her perspective on “haters” since her Creating Passionate Users days, after being run off the web twice by Nazis and their tech industry collaborators, nor does he seem to have read her vastly more useful and nuanced book “Badass: Making Users Awesome”.

There is no value in paying attention to DHH except as a precautionary measure in case he decides at some point to pick a target.

50 yrs ago, 90% of women in Iceland went on strike. No cooking, cleaning, laundry, or childcare. Schools closed. Flights grounded. Men stayed home or took kids to work. Today Iceland has smallest gender pay gap in the world & tough equal pay laws.

We apologize for the long performance degradation today.
Finally, we identified all of the 'tricks' that AI crawlers found today. They no longer bypass the anubis proof of work challenges.

A novelty for us was that AI crawlers seem to not only crawl URLs that are actually presented to them by our frontend, but they converted the URLs into a format that bypassed our filter rules.

By the way, you can track the changes we have been doing via

"AI hucksters [...] will tell you that there is only one way that this technology can be used: to fire a whole ton of workers and make the survivors do their job at frantic Lucy-in-the-chocolate-factory cadence. While it’s true that this is the only way that their companies could possibly be worth the hundreds of billions of dollars that have been pumped into them (so far), there’s no iron law that says that investors in tech bubbles should always turn a profit."

Japanese researchers link COVID-19 ‘brain fog’ to neural receptors.

A Yokohama City University study found COVID-related brain fog is linked to increased AMPA receptors—proteins vital for brain function—across wide brain regions, affecting memory and concentration.

Trying to understand if I was overreacting.

I got a little bit triggered by this since I had the opportunity to meet the inventor of the MP3.

Now people “write” historical pieces about how the MP3 got invented and attach deepfake images of “people” who supposedly worked on the project. Totally fake and not related to the actual team. The original team gets discredited.

It’s a perfect example of how AI will start to replace fact with fiction and people don’t question it

It's been coming since they went source-available years ago.

Wikimedia switched to Browsertime by @sitespeedio (easy choice with Peter on our team). I hope they'll add a nice UI like old WPT, combined with one-click self hosting or a sponsor for a public service. For now we use the API with a Grafana dashboard that displays videos and screenshots directly.

Or use the old UI WPT here:

Billionaire Tim Mellon sent $130M of his $14.1B to fund US military salaries during the Govt shutdown

1. This covers 1/3 of military payroll for 1 day

2. DOD has a $1T budget. $130M is .013% of that

3. Mellon can casually part with $130M—he can be taxed at a 91% marginal tax like during 1940-1980

“Unless the government can explain the discrepancy satisfactorily, the court will likely want to inquire into the source of the misrepresentation. Deliberate false statements made to a court by a lawyer carry serious consequences. If it turns out that the government did, in fact, misrepresent the facts in court, that will not help the government’s position as the Ninth Circuit considers whether rehearing en banc is appropriate”
