I almost fell off the trail into a ravine to get this @Adobe event info in your hands, so please give it a watch. I'll be presenting at 2 different events in Feb - so much fun to talk about!

It seems like the only reason to do this is to ENSURE our tech workers will be using Chinese datacenters soon if they want to get anything done. What possible good for our country would come from such a moratorium?

Sanders and AOC introduced a bill to pause ALL AI data center construction. 300+ local bills filed. Half of planned 2026 data centers facing delays or cancellation. Each one brings billions to local economies. The people who say they want American jobs are trying to block the biggest job creation engine since the interstate highway system.

@yacineMTB The very-real factor of digital overload is a factor. I'm sure I'm not the only tech worker that goes WAY out of my way to get away from screens & very much find a full-time, full-immersion device highly undesirable.

just like my vibe-coded app—yeah, it’s buggy, but if it works, don't touch a thing
English
I definitely agree with you there, and love a good bus. Original reason I wrote that article (like 12 years ago originally before moving blogs) was a DC friend complaining that DC has the "worst metro system". I took it upon myself to give her a list of cities that couldn't even muster one up at all.
English
It is time to stop ranking US cities based on how much rail they have.
Rail is needed in dense corridors, but that’s not where we’ve built a lot of it. It made some sense when we were moving full trains at rush hour, but that’s no longer the case.

The Atlanta Beltline being this packed with people at 7pm on a TUESDAY is just a delight. Every restaurant along the trail is packed, people everywhere socializing and being humans together. The dichotomy of this experience against Atlanta Freeway Hell just boggles the mind.

Han blasted Greedo and never gave him a chance to fire back! One shot, one blaster sound... end of story!

@HowEPhil I saw your tweet earlier today, and then rode across this for the first time - but now I realize this is a different crossing
English
New BeltLine crossing painted 👀
Not as visible from western approaching drivers however, arguably those who pose the most risk.
Past time this block & much of the street closed to drivers.

@humantransit The Bay Area has an extensive freeway system.

When Mitch Daniels was governor of Indiana, his most visionary idea was a new outerbelt for Indianapolis. INDOT actually studied the idea. It was too early to build such a thing, but without planning and ROW protection, it's can't be built when it is needed.

@JenMsft @PaperDoll77 It was something all of us Linux users have had for a while, that it seemed SO natural to bring to Windows. I use tabbed explorer windows constantly

@PaperDoll77 It was something we added based on feedback - do you like it?

Data centers aren't uniquely energy-hungry. One aluminum smelter draws as much power as all of Nashville.
Utilities used to build power plants to meet that demand but today, regulations & litigation make that almost impossible.
We need more power plants, not fewer data centers.

@artem_kalt @svpino Sweet. I've got one very similar to that, except with a display. I do like nerding out on how much power my devices are drawing, but it also helps with debugging the "is this thing even charging" questions, esp when traveling international
English
@TurboDad @svpino I use that: satechi.com/products/165w-…
Love it every day. The only thing I did is bought a shorter (1 ft) power cable.
English
I don't like the power cable that comes with the Framework 13 Pro.
It's one of those 3-piece cables. Thick, inflexible, ugly cable that takes a ton of space in your backpack and you really don't want to take out anywhere.
(The laptop has an infinite battery life, so this is less of a problem, but still).
I bought an Anker charger, and now I'm convinced this is the best charger I've ever seen and used.
I'm using this charger now even with my MacBook Air. I thought Apple's charger with magsafe was great, but this is better.

Incredible turnout for the first VYS founder/exec dinner in San Francisco.
IRL is where it's at.
English
It's a bit of a hike for you, but there are two stations in Glacier National Park on the Amtrak Empire Builder, with hotels originally built by the Great Northern Railway. It is a positively EPIC experience to do a place like that entirely car-free. (we hit Glacier with the family on a Amtrak rail-pass lap of the USA we did a few years back - please also appreciate my son's Amtrak shirt, he's the biggest railfan ever)
English
What's a weird, small, but secretly very cool city that I can get to on Amtrak
English
@pitt_urban @himbo_urbanist Harpers Ferry is truly special - so many great hikes, rafting, the town itself is wild. Plus, an epic day-trip is taking your bike out to Harpers on the train & then riding the C&O canal back into DC.
English
@himbo_urbanist I've heard good things about Harper's ferry, accessible by Amtrak and MARC.
English
@the_transit_guy I was just down there working at Adobe in Lehi. What's fascinating is how geographically-constrained the whole metro area is. It can grow with no bounds north-south, but there is no settlement more than ~5mi from the center axis due to the mountains & lake.
English
@GergelyOrosz It's true though - I spend more time now vetting whether or not a technical article looks like it was really written by a person or not. That's before I even determine if it was written by a smart person.
English
AI - in theory - should make writing easier, thus expressing ideas should be a lot easier.
And yet, I don't see all that much more things that are worthwhile to read. Sure, there's a lot more junk. But I don't see more interesting eng blogs, personal tech-related blogs etc.
What is going on?
(Is this a discoverability issue? Or are people / teams not writing/sharing all that much more, indeed?)
English
@gregorykennedy It doesn't help that Apple and Spotify have generally-terrible search, so podcast discovery revolves around an exact keyword match - something AI slop can absolutely accomplish
English
Someone blocked me because of this.
But here is the data. It's not that some day, in the distant future, AI is going to flood the world with half-baked content. It's flooding the world with it now. And some of it is going to outperform people-generated content.
Gregory Kennedy@gregorykennedy
Why would anyone be surprised by this? I've already seen the testing where AI beats human writers. It's unclear whether originality and craftsmanship ultimately have any commercial value at all.
English
RAM/SSD prices are psycho, I needed a new personal hackmachine to complement my FW13 work box. Took @FrameworkPuter's advice and got a 2nd-hand absolute BRUTE of an HP Zbook (64GB/1.5TB SSD, H-class CPU, etc) for $600. Putting used machines back to work is definitely satisfying.
