Probably best Mexican bakery in town. Noting here for future recall.

This is great. BASIC was the first programming I learned as a six year old kid. I never knew Einstein’s collaborator came up with it.

Read parts 2 and 3 as well.

Saved for reference during my next trip.

An interview with famous writer Thelma Kirsch.

This helps you find the people you follow on Twitter on Mastodon. It assumes the Twitter profile publishes the Mastodon handle in their bio, user name, location field, URL field or in their pinned tweet. I added mine to my bio.

The tool found corresponding Mastodon accounts for about 10% of the people I follow. Most of them are colleagues in high-tech or people related to high-tech. I hope this improves.

This is incredibly adorable.

This is a very coherent intelligent write up of why Musk buying Twiiter is a terrible idea.

This is a really beautiful explanation with interactive visualization of how sound works. It’s a bit basic for anyone with an engineering degree but I still got a kick out of it since it’s so nicely done.

Another impressive use of machine learning: create a depth map of a photograph, which is then used to adjust lighting in 3d space in a realistic manner.

Stable Diffusion feels essentially like magic to us 2022 cavemen.

Cool website shows “notable” people in their birthplace.

Impressive view of the water crisis.

Nobody should be surprised that the Chinese government has accessed, or can force access if they want to, to TikTok's user data.

But more importantly, we have learned that social media can "nudge" user behavior by curating what users see. Foreign adversaries have successfully gamed the hell out of Facebook's system that prioritizes engagement.

Now imagine the foreign adversary actually having control over the algorithm and optimize for nudging user behavior as the main goal. It's scary, and we now now it can be quite effective.

This is a company worth watching. Sounds too good to be true, and if true it could be really a game changer.

Growing list.

Super fast and lightweight sports results and statistics.

Find Raspberry Pi stock. It’s crazy how hard to find it is at the moment. COVID-19 supply chain disruption and all that.

I first read about the possibility of transplanting pig organs to humans when I was a kid, for all the reasons listed in this article. It's fascinating to see it occur for real. This has huge potential to save lives going forward.
