@sberens @Stammy @brighterlamp @cursor_ai @midjourney @circlebackai If you have it turned on at 100%, you're not going to be looking directly at it. I was thinking I should get some for the other corners to make the entire room a summer day

@Stammy @brighterlamp @cursor_ai @midjourney @circlebackai unfortunately walnut isn't very good at dissipating 500W :/

happy @brighterlamp delivery day to those who celebrate 🤝 @cursor_ai @midjourney @circlebackai

@sampullara @BellikOzan I remember the first time in college I was doing a physics problem where I had to calculate something for a pool where the depth was changing and I thought how can you calculate one thing when another thing is changing? And then I thought wait minute, isn't that like calculus?

@BellikOzan Teaching it separate from physics is a huge mistake.

When I started teaching my kids physics I kept having the thought "it'd be really helpful if they knew calculus". Then I thought "why would you teach calculus separately from physics?" So now that our 11 year old is ready for calculus, I'm teaching him calculus & physics together. (Here's some calculus, and here's how you use it to solve this physics problem.) It's going swimmingly. An hour a week goes a long way when you have a solid foundation and one on one instruction.

@olshansky I couldn't even get AI to give me a straight answer

Guess the stock ticker. Hint: it's deep tech that was mismanaged.

@svpino I'm at the point where I prefer to have a book read to me by AI, especially 11 Labs because then I can change the voice and the speed and the tone and all kinds of stuff. Just like with a Kindle you can change the font. But written? Probably not

Would you buy and read a book if you knew it was written 100% by AI?

@sampullara I could maybe stand it if the translucency was less or blurry across the whole pop-up, especially while your focus was in the search box. Is the point of glass so you can see stuff underneath in case you need to refer to it?

this is a screenshot of the apple settings app in the latest os. i cannot believe that this was shipped. why would I ever want to see something like this. liquid glass is a huge mistake.

@svpino I recall a lot of time spent revising design docs, getting sign off from other devs, code reviews, stand-up meetings, working with other teams, arguing about priorities, estimating time, mandatory compliance meetings, meetings about meetings, writing unit tests, merge conflicts

Software development has never been about writing code. This was obvious to many before, but now AI has made it crystal clear to everyone. Building software is 99% thinking, 1% writing code, and 1% fighting off-by-1 errors.

@FlySJC can you update Google maps to label your new cell phone parking lot? Also, there's very poor signage at the airport to find this, especially near the Southwest terminal areas. Thank you

@jzux The number one song in 1983 was "Every breath you take." Pretty sure that activity would get a man arrested now

dating apps will never inspire me. i recently talked to a guy who met his wife because he saw her eating chicken alone at the bar and was so enchanted he chased her down the street after she left so he could get her number

People getting fired after posting divisive takes on recent events even when they had that disclaimer "My opinions are my own, not that of my employer." So maybe don't bother?

My remote that has the "find" feature loses its battery charge much faster than a similar model that does not. It makes sense to me, and I'm totally willing to make that trade-off for the find feature. Kind of wish it had a charging cradle

@alexcooldev Carl's Jr had multiple logins. None of them worked except the Google one though

In 2025, your auth page doesn’t need: - Email login - Sign-up form - OTP Just “Login with Google”, done.

I was going to buy a couple of these but then was unable to find any discounts for new customers that actually worked. Possibly buying four or five at a time might work but don't know if I want any now

@olshansky I think big companies have a really hard time choosing good names. Zune? Bard? Max? X? I associate Gemini now with the broken assistant on my phone, whereas it used to be astrology or NASA missions.

What do you think of when you hear the word "Gemini"?

@gunsnrosesgirl3 Smell

What is a smartphone feature you are surprised doesn't exist yet

@Aella_Girl Isn't the fuel needed and safety (in case rocket explodes) the issue?

much of the discussion was her making various points and me struggling to explain how big space was

today i met someone who was anti-nuclear, and concerned about nuclear waste. I suggested we could send the waste into space. she seemed disgruntled and said that seemed to be a colonizer way of looking at things

@nichochar alpha

Mocha is about to ship its biggest update yet. Want early access? Follow and reply with “alpha”

@sm If it were federally legal, a pot gummy would be a better alternative than a drink

I will die on the hill of there’s no good reason to serve alcohol on airplanes

@sm I wouldn't be surprised if they get merged into something called "parents' day" at some point

I made my dad a father by being born and I made my husband a father by birthing his kids so like, I really should get some credit today

@Stammy I have a theory that many top designers have perfect vision, which makes it difficult for them to empathize with those that don't

no words

this just seems harder to read? #ios26
