A comfortable slow boil — 01max
I keep talking about feeling like I’m in my 20s, because I am, indeed, not in my 20s anymore (let’s say late 30s atp). I have a wife, two young kids, a non-trivial geographical relocation underway, a house to take care of. So should I be as wired into my work as I am (or even can I maintain the long term)?
Agent Psychosis: Are We Going Insane? | Armin Ronacher's Thoughts and Writings
I see people develop parasocial relationships with their AIs, get heavily addicted to it, and create communities where people reinforce highly unhealthy behavior. How did we get here and what does it do to us?
Leave a Trace | Jake Worth
Always leave something behind. If you find something interesting, leave a trace that you were there. This is a little thing that over time leads to a friendlier, more humane internet. Here are a few examples.

Tom Di Mino, a self-taught AI engineer and an amateur linguist, claims to have accomplished a feat that has eluded linguistics experts for over a century: deciphering a Bronze-age Minoan writing system known as Linear A.

Managing High Performers | Stay SaaSy
The single most important activity to do with your high performer is career planning. Know where they want to go and help them get there.

I Stored a Website in a Favicon
Once you've successfully hidden data somewhere it doesn't belong, you start looking at everything as potential storage. A monitor is storage. A keyboard is storage. A BIOS splash screen is (maybe) storage. A favicon is storage. And yes, here we are.
The Color Strike
When the British channel ITV made their switch to color at the end of 1969, the camera operators union felt that the additional technical knowledge and skills required for a color camera deserved a pay increase for the operators. ITV disagreed. So the operators came up with a clever way to strike.
Digital Printing of Arabic: explaining the problem – The Digital Orientalist
The flaws of movable type transferred to the digital representation of Arabic. One way to look at the persistence of this problem is that these technologies, printing press and computers, were developed in Latin script based societies and thus took that use case as a matter of fact. The rest of the world, with its many varying complicated scripts, had to bend to these rules. It seems that even though Arabic is the sixth language of the world, there was little economic incentive to fundamentally solve these issues. In fact, the digital environment aggravated the problem even further. Taking the movable type philosophy of dividing text into letters, computers have had a significant problem in representing Arabic as connected letters.
