Bluesky feature request: when Filippo posts "THIS IS NOT A DRILL" while I'm sleeping my phone lights itself on fire until I'm awake

Nathan Fielder is on the cover of @wired.com this month. I interviewed him about Elizabeth Holmes, his extraordinary new film, and whether anyone can ever know what the hell is going on with another person. An exclusive! And quite an experience. Read the full interview here:

This is such a perfect punchline if you've seen HISTORY OF CONCRETE

"Anthropic told investors on Wednesday distillation accounted for 5 per cent to 7 per cent of revenue" If true, and Q2 revenue was $11.5B, then that's more than half a billion dollars spent by other labs to distill Anthropic's models! www.ft.com/content/1163...

Incredible sentence from a Google Maps review of a restaurant in my neighborhood: "First time trying Tibetan food and I have to say this place is really good and authentic."

Wednesday's Weather Rating: 10/10 BACK TO BACK!!! High temperatures reach the upper 60s with sunshine, low dew points and a light breeze continuing all day long. A little autumn chill this morning and a glorious day throughout. The vibes remain immaculate out there!!

I wrote the "how to navigate Legistar" guide I wish I'd had years ago when I started doing #NYC policy advocacy, complete with warnings about subtle bugs. Along the way, I point to #CivicTech tools intro.nyc and legislation.support, with explanations of what they can and can't do.

Saw The History Of Concrete last night. Highly recommended, especially if you liked How To.

Accidentally made a pinhole camera with my curtains. This is my wall.

Je suis juste là pour ne pas avoir d'amende.

It’s 97 degrees with an AQI if 157 outside, but they’re painting the walls of my buildings hallway and I’m thinking of opening a window

If you’re not following this guy on Instagram’s day-by-day account of building a lightweight Phoenician war-elephant outfit centered around his toddler in the command seat so that he can hike over the Alps in it in the footsteps of Hannibal—you should be. www.instagram.com/reel/DaOO7iV...

Corona currently matching the energy of Brooklyn for Knicks game 6

We’re living in the age of AI-generated legal service billboards

We just increased the maximum number of pinned chats from 4 to 10, so you can show 6 more people how much you love what they have to say.

The was mitigating context, but I was accused of this after saying “you clearly didn’t go to preschool in France”

With a massive score of 6.3, Curacao Is now winning the "group stage points per mullion residents" competition

Amazing that the loser in the Curacao - Germany game was Brazil

The ref head cam footage isn’t cool enough to justify how dorky it looks

20 Facebook pages spreading fake news to their 200,000 followers. A network of connected websites, and real money behind it. We investigate a sprawling content farm. It gets pretty dystopian. escapecollective.com/fake-cycling...

Recent status: watching someone that works at Zoom take a past due security training about not taking meetings in public spaces while he was on a train going between Copenhagen and Stockholm. He completed his training then had a sales meeting about volume discounts.

Here's the FTC press release: www.ftc.gov/news-events/... "this service did not, in fact, listen in on consumers’ conversations or use voice data at all [...] Instead, the service the companies provided consisted of reselling—at a significant markup—email lists obtained from other data brokers."

I’m going to be annoyed if Apple launches disappearing messages in Siri before iMessage

P s. (It does not specify, so I am assuming international sign-ups are allowed.) And I just found that @jelaniya.bsky.social is here in the blue firmament, though they do not seem to be regular.

Nine of these are within five minutes of my apartment, and there have been weeks where I've been to three or four of them. I love JH/Elmhurst.

Full keyword list.

An interesting finding here is that TikTok’s “sensitive data” filter for state health sites is a bizarre keyword list with terms like MAGA, antifa, Teamsters, bhagavad, mulatto, queer, and nationalist. If your answer isn't on the list, it could still get sent w/ @suryamattu.com and Tanaz Meghjani

Excellent reporting, alarming findings. Bloomberg's @dmehro.bsky.social et al found U.S. state government health websites are sharing people's personal info (sex, citizenship & race data) with tech giants via pixel-sized webpage trackers. Several states pulled the trackers after Bloomberg disclosed.

Curious to see what DOT does with this road they're merging with the adjacent park (h/t @capntransit@urbanists.social on Mastodon)

it’s happening. a safer grand army plaza is on the agenda.

It is delightful that the tense space adventure has turned into an IT help desk call

New, by me at TechCrunch: The developer of the widely popular Wireguard VPN says he is also unable to ship software updates to Windows users after Microsoft locked his account, marking the second high-profile app developer (VeraCrypt) in the past few weeks to face this issue.
