Concerned about the direction US politics is headed in? Regardless of party affiliation, you are not alone. Threats to democracy affect us all. This isn’t about Dem v Rep, Right v Left. This is about power, and the threat to our rights as citizens. protectdemocracy.org/how-to-protect…

Design has changed. Figma's CEO on the future of design and AI - "A designer's judgment, taste, and agency will matter more than ever." This is especially true with the rise of vibe coding. Important lessons from Dylan Field's convo at YC.

@mgonto I really like this series. It’s a visceral critique on many levels, and it a fun, tense mind-bender. E10 was a wild ride, and I can’t wait to see where this goes. I just hope they have a plan and that it doesn’t turn into “Lost” where they didn’t know how to end it.

@RandyNasson So good! I loved it! This season was a bit slow for me, but episode 7 and 10 were a masterpiece. What did you think?

Ok just watched it. bring on all the severance spoilers

@HeedTheCallPod @DanHanzus @MarcSessler @UnderdogFantasy Was it just me, or was there a lot of shade thrown during this episode? Maybe the fracture is still too top of mind and I’m just over analyzing.

This is utterly depressing and revolting. Are we really talking about bulletproof school accessories instead of taking a long, hard look at limiting access to lethal weapons? nytimes.com/interactive/20… Don’t worry kids. Your notebook will block small caliber firearms.

@mgonto Not aware of any preventative body scans; they usually reserve scans for detection based on symptoms. Are you just looking to get a health check?

I'm going to Miami in 3 weeks. What's the best preventive full body scan to do? Any recommendations?

Deepfakes are getting more and more sophisticated as AI tech improves. Take care and double check. blog.lastpass.com/posts/2024/04/…

I love old books; hardcover, in particular. The physical pleasure of holding ideas, information, and imagination paired with the scent of paper milled generations ago is quite pleasing. And every so often, a personal remnant from the past…

As those working in tech, we owe it to educate people around us on the massive fraud potential for AI. You should absolutely be distrustful of: - Video calls - Phone calls - Emails - DMs on social media Assume it could be a deepfake, even if it looks real.

Sounds a lot more like an evolution toward a cable network (minus the 500-channel bundling aspect) to me. theverge.com/24051687/netfl…

@Patriots Jerod is right. Seeing color allows us to understand what different people experience. It is only an ignorant, privileged person who refuses to recognize people and their circumstances.

“I do see color, because I believe if you don’t see color you can’t see racism.” Jerod Mayo on being named the first black head coach in Patriots history.

My analysis of the OpenAI situation is out. Originally, it was behind a paywall, but many subscribers have asked to make it public. I did, for this one. Read the full piece here. There are lots of things that feel off, and an important question looms: newsletter.pragmaticengineer.com/p/what-is-open…

I love that my son is interested in costume design. Sewing and similar craftwork are so often gendered activities.

PM Tip: When planning your deliverables with your engineering team, include functional demos with customer-facing quality. Use what you build in the way your customers are likely to use them. You’ll get better quality and business outcomes.

Classic distraction: Let’s argue about the *extent* of tragedies instead of focusing on what we should be doing to help resolve/prevent them. Magnitude in the extremes does matter, but we’re not debating extremes here. washingtonpost.com/world/2023/10/…
