One company lost 73% of their (publicly traded) value in a month. The other one is a startup whose founder (according to my friend) has “finally snapped”, and the company is now in freefall. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Looks like everyone has basically forgotten about #COVID19. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Reminder to not work yourself to death for the sake of your employer. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Porsches and Pastries at Fremont Porsche #cars #photography #carspotting npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Lamborghini Aventador, Porsche GT3RS #cars #photography #carspotting npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja “I understand that this period of change may be challenging and that patience is not easy when expecting to be paid, however, I want to express my sincere appreciation for your understanding and support as we navigate through this transition.” npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja What better way to set your company up for success than to burn the bridges to your future employees? npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja HAHAHAHA npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Here’s a nice overview of all the anti-#AI tools available to visual artists today. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Hhehehe npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Holy shit, they fixed it. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja People: “We need regulations that curtail electronic surveillance of US residents.” npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Sometimes I wonder npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja I can see how people think the world sits on turtles. https://mastodon.social/@wonderofscience/110213818915651018 npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Nice response by #mkbhd to the self-entitled techbros who think they should be given slack for bad products. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Full Self Curbing npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja #TodayILearned that the scam known as “trickle-down economics” was formerly known as the “horse-and-sparrow theory”: npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja @npub1vqm…ccpx This is the best April Fools’ today. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Still betting that June is when we will start to see a significant pullback from all the #AI investments across the board. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja What is *actually* a good, privacy-respecting VPN product these days? npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja I never realized that Nickelodeon’s old “foot” logo sometimes had four toes, and sometimes five. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Porsche “GT3MR”—A 991 GT3 that has been tuned by Manthey Racing. #cars #photography #carspotting npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Jaguar XK120 #cars #photography #carspotting npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Moral grounding of the day npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Mmm hmm. Sure. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja These past weeks have been such a bizarre rollercoaster for me personally. So many good things are happening, but also so many bad ones, including my dog getting sick enough to spent two nights at the emergency vet. I’ve been stressed almost every day (and I still am) but I’m also enjoying the hell out of wonderful things. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Here’s a clear example of how aggressive the #ai image processing has become on newer iPhones. This is a comparison between the iPhone 15 Pro Max and the iPhone 11 Pro Max, taking photos of distant text at equal magnification. Note how the 15 Pro Max’s image pipeline has hallucinated all the details. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Can I use #VLC on my Mac to play videos to an #AirPlay target e.g. #AppleTV? npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Credit: Forrest Brazeal npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja This comes across as xenophobic and anti-Chinese baiting from the #Biden administration. The truth of the matter is that modern cars are privacy nightmares, no matter the manufacturer. While it may be true that “vehicles on American roads…could be immediately disabled by somebody in Beijing”, they could also be disabled by someone in Detroit, Austin, or Seoul. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja #GitHub is under attack. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja @npub1r47…wytr Copyright is a direct consequence of capitalism, isn’t it?

The actual exhibition is basically an empty warehouse. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja A friend of mine sent me these screencaps and I’m laughing so hard. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Late to the party, but I’m starting to think that letting corporations launch thousands of satellites into low earth orbit is not a great idea. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Is there a way to remote-control (or at least remote-view) someone else’s iPhone? I would like to help my not-tech-savvy dad manage his phone. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja The longer you look at it, the worse it gets. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja @npub1dm5…5sqe Yes, this is part of the “reuse” that we keep hearing about! npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Good stuff. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Tornados in California? npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Just as we all knew all along, #Reddit’s move to charge exorbitant fees for API access was so they can cut lucrative deals to sell user-created material to train #AI models. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Cisco doing a #layoff to “shift its focus to “key priority areas,” such as artificial intelligence”. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja @npub1g53…v0hh You should have called it “Angry Tech Guy”—any resemblance to people alive or dead is purely coincidental! npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja So much of that old-timey sound we associate with 1920s music is thanks to the unique (and limited) audio response of the carbon microphone, which was the state of the art for the time. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Starting to see people with #VisionPro show up in cafes and such and…ehh…I dunno, man. It isn’t something I’d wear in public. Pretty strong Glasshole 2.0 vibes. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja #Veritasium published an AWESOME video about the very unlikely invention of the blue LED. It’s an *incredible* story and you really should view it. It also contains the best visualization of semiconductors I’ve ever seen. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Protip: You’re not going to get people who profit from societal problems to vote away those problems. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Hey, Richard! npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Oh hey, the Attorney General of Indiana has published a snitch line for schools that teach LGBTQ+ issues, or make Woke materials available to their students! npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja I’m gonna guess this photo was taken in some tech company’s break room. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja @npub1src…fms4 @npub1c2g…zeqt I’d get a new seal anyway even if it fits because I bet the old seal would be gross. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja If you use a Philips #CPAP machine, you might want to return it right now. 561 deaths have been linked to a failure where pieces of foam break off and are sent down the breathing mask where they can get inhaled. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja The #insurance armageddon is coming slowly, but surely. I shop for new insurance (auto, home, umbrella, etc.) once every few years to make sure I’m still getting decent deals. But this year, my insurance agent told me that I should be glad that I *have* insurance at all, because companies have stopped writing new policies in certain states, or at least limiting how many new ones they write per year. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja I love how you can easily see the foveated rendering in the #Apple #VisionPro in MKBHD’s review video here. The transition from sharp to blurry is very smooth and subtle.

Spammers are creating garbage English language content using LLMs, then translating it into *multiple languages* at the same time, using Machine Translation, presumably to generate clickbait ad revenue in several languages at once. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Today I learned that “sundown towns” with their daily siren blasts that remind non-white people to leave town STILL EXIST. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja I know a guy who owned a photocopy shop (remember those?) in a university town in the early 1990s. Kinko’s came in to town, and priced their copies well below cost. They drove him and other local copy shops out of business, then raised their cost to eventually more than the local shops charged. https://indieweb.social/@CassandraVert/111778764162429973 npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Oh and for folks wondering why #Apple is insisting that people work in #Austin #Texas: I can’t speak for their actual motivation, of course, but this much is true: npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja I guess this is how #Apple does #layoffs these days. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja I find it especially aggravating when non-US posters scold US voters for planning to vote for Biden. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja So is `youtube-dl` done for?

We’re in the midst of one of the biggest #COVID19 infection peaks. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Here’s the video, so you don’t have to click on a Xitter link. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja WebMD’s parent company, Internet Brands, released a cringey and abusive internal video threatening their employees to #returnToOffice. “We aren’t asking or negotiating at this point”, the CEO says. “Don’t mess with us”, the video reads at the end. The video features employees dancing and celebrating RTO (at gunpoint? or at least under threat of firing by HR?). npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja @npub178r…qekt Ah, the red filter explains why the shot looks almost infra-red! npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja Tech workers when everyone is hiring: lol, I don’t need to unionize. Look how well I negotiated for myself! npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja #Cruise—the self-driving car taxi company whose car hit a pedestrian and dragged her 20 ft under the car, thus losing their right to operate their cars in California—is trying to offer CPUC $75k to make the issue go away. They’re not offering the money to the *victim* of the crash, mind you. They are offering the money to the California regulatory body, in an effort to once again be allowed to test their cars on California streets. npub13jszgr40d0pnyum0t845scy8uggn676enygvaf4ajzm2y9rqzd8sy75d7q Dave Rahardja @npub1mmf…eknq @npub16nf…q6as Sort of. An “ID” is a specific form of identification (you can’t use your birth certificate or Social Security card for identification, for instance). The options available for the Secretary of State to perform eligibility checks are much wider than an “ID” at the ballot box.
