I love when Ken Rosenthal interviews Aaron Judge.

Oof... not a good night for Matthew Boyd.

First day on the Lake Front Trail of '26. It was one of those days where it felt like a head wind going both ways, but good to be out.

I like it. It’s not for me, as I don’t have any need for a truck bed, but for those that do,I’m glad there is an option that isn’t huge.

I had the same thought. Seems like it would be an amazing gallery.

After I typed all that out, it crossed my mind you might be on Android, but then I thought I remember you saying you took a lot of your photos on iPhone at one time. I probably imagined that too!

If it is anything like my Garmin watch, it can either receive all notifications from my iPhone or none, so none it is.

Apple seems to restrict third party wearables in this way. Meanwhile, the Apple Watch allows full customization of notifications.

Sunrise will be after 9am from mid December to mid January in Vancouver BC.

New ADU/coach house coming to Ravenswood?

They are rebuilding the garage behind a new $3m SFH and I was glad to see that it looks like they are at least putting in an ADU.

Was just browsing Zillow and it’s so bleak. We desperately need more units.

They are equipped with Lidar, so they should be able to see in complete darkness. (In theory)

After our first fool’s spring, we are back to the β€œI don’t care what the temp is, as long as it’s sunny” time of year.

I don’t think Tesla should even be in the same conversation as Waymo. Tesla cannot even drive itself in a tunnel under Vegas that they built. I don’t think Tesla is going to achieve true autonomy any time soon despite it coming β€œsoonβ€œ for about 10 years now.

Because they don’t have drivers and therefore are not part of the gig economy.

I don’t think they mean robotaxi when they say β€œe-taxi.”

β€œThe Carnegie Mellon researchers speculate that it's more likely that app-taxi riders are becoming app-taxi drivers themselves β€” or that people who already drove are buying another car specifically to enter the gig economy.”

I’m not an expert on Waymo’s operations, so I can’t say. However, I just can’t see a world where they increase parking demand. Those parking podiums on every new high rise are sure not for taxis.

25.02.2026 15:38 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 4 πŸ“Œ 0

I’m not sure how they increase parking demand. A robotaxi needs 1 parking space per car max. A private car needs several parking spaces per car… home, work, shopping, etc.

It’s the correct decision almost every year.

This is Nashville, but I understand the confusion as Memphis is superior β€œmusic city.”

Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫

Apparently my BlueSky hot take is that I’m excited for Waymo to arrive in Chicago.

I’ve been nearly run over by enough livery/uber drivers that I’m ready to give the robots* a shot.

*This does not apply to Tesla’s robotaxi which appears to be an actual death trap for all road users.

re @anthropic.com:

I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more.

These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.

so you deleted social media... now what?
so you deleted social media... now what? YouTube video by xiya chang

Watched this today and found it interesting how similar my experiences have been to the creator as she’s probably almost 20 years younger than me.

Best quote from the video β€œConsumption is not a hobby.β€œ That one is gonna stick!

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

Memphis is my hometown, so I've been following it a bit. Its been a mess. Twisted narrative focusing on crime and the full support of the state government has put a cloud over what is really going on with ICE. I'm glad its getting some coverage though. bsky.app/profile/clar...
