This continues to gain traction, so:

There’s a lot of intelligent people at Amazon.

There’s also leadership and PMs cramming AI at every company as fast as possible into every product.

This behavior is diluting “leveraging AI” into a shitty meme

This is a good summary of our efforts to increase speeds and reduce latency on the Starlink network. A ton more work to do to improve the service and make it accessible to as many people as possible.

I hate when I watch one video, and the YT algo decides I want to watch *every* video from that channel, and pushes it as a recommendation on everything.

I know I can say 'I'm not interested in this', but that's not quite it. I think YT needs a 'Yo, ease up, dude' option.

Framework's design was always a good idea, but now that we're a couple of generations in, the savings just got very real.

The rash of Twitter clones is just the latest step in the social media meltdown of 2022/23. But all I really want from these apps is a feed that's just the people I want to follow, in the order they posted in. More social, less algorithm.
