  If I keep this up I'm gonna be spending more time this week building analysis dashboards for my running metrics than actually running.

  As I have long said, Ed Zitron either doesn’t know what he’s talking about or doesn’t care about accuracy. Lots to be concerned about with the AI boom, but Zitron is not a source of good analysis! https://bsky.app/profile/nathantankus.bsky.social/post/3ms5qxtljac2y

  Whoah. An innocent man went to jail and a guilty man went free because the cops made a typo. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/07/police-missed-one-underscore-and-sent-the-wrong-man-to-prison/

  In 100 years history textbooks are going to have to have explainers for how a silly internet meme about a cute dog turned into an acronym for the fascist takeover of the administrative state. “Timmy, where did ‘DOGE’ come from?” “Uh Mr Stewart it was a Shiba Inu that the worlds richest man liked?”

  The Venn diagram of people who use duress passcodes and people who should use duress passcodes looks like this: O o https://bsky.app/profile/zackwhittaker.com/post/3mrfwxpgyvc2u

  This is the point I've been making about vibe-coding: AI tools can enable small teams or singletons to do more and, possibly, actually help flatten the resource/impact disparity in some fields. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02174-4#:~:text=Ni%20suspects%20that%20rather%20than%20dying%20out%2C%20small%2Dteam%20science%20will%20stabilize.%20It%20might%20even%20see%20a%20resurgence%20as%20artificial%2Dintelligence%20tools%20become%20more%20sophisticated%20and%20accessible%2C%20she%...

  I think this is indeed the right take, but it’s interesting that Nvidia’s incentives are so different here (sell chips to China!), and Jensen Huang seems to have Trump’s ear… https://bsky.app/profile/codendahl.bsky.social/post/3mr5ty6w24k2l

  I was just visiting the US and this Hyperloop did indeed make the connection much easier. https://bsky.app/profile/montanaskeptic.bsky.social/post/3mr5vr6qyes2a

  I have mixed feelings on this. Clearly there's a lot of vibe-coded crap. At the same time, coding assistants have vastly lowered the cost of making niche or bespoke apps in a way that I think does not analogize to books. (Who wants to read any book written by AI?) https://bsky.app/profile/kashhill.bsky.social/post/3mr5wqlma5k2q

  The one thing I will say is that Trump is truly a genius at petty corruption. It’s like a weird gift he has. Like he seems like a total dipshit, but then when it comes to making money unethically he’s the Michael Jordan of the field. https://www.ft.com/content/32db576f-4f53-47d2-b00c-2ad4e906952c

  The week I pick to visit the US: the sky is perpetually hazy from smokeeveryone is getting explosive diarrhea from a parasite of unknown originand the authoritarian leader is going to give a speech on all the major networks at dinner time to tell his people how the war with Oceania is going

  If you pay him extra, you get to write the posts yourself. https://www.ft.com/content/32db576f-4f53-47d2-b00c-2ad4e906952c?syn-25a6b1a6=1

  What's neat about the rise of such powerful openweight models is that it gives those of us who are privacy paranoids the opportunity to move to privacy-centric services (like https://confer.to and https://tinfoil.sh). https://www.ft.com/content/c6ecd8ce-c441-4d7c-aea6-fae3e28fb6ff?syn-25a6b1a6=1

  This YouGov poll showing 27% of Americans believe the first President of the US was named “Jesus H. Christ” is surprising but not that surprising.

  Musk’s clownishness tends to distract from the seriousness of the cultural phenomenon he represents. https://www.nybooks.com/articles/2026/07/23/space-oddity-muskism-slobodian-tarnoff/
