A few weeks ago my colleagues at WestJet had a gear collapse while landing in St Maarten.
It was reported as a “hard landing” and the pilots were blamed in the media.
Much less media coverage with the initial TSB report.
Not a hard landing.
Not the pilots’ fault.

one day i'm going to make so much money with a simple tool that acts like an ad-filter but instead just filters out coding AI slop response lines like
"You're absolutely right."
"I see the issue now!"
"Ah, you've run into a classic problem of XYZ."
"You're absolutely right."

This is a good sign. What's encouraging is that humans aren't THAT stupid - we will push back sooner or later when things get too dehumanizing.
So much is about the framing: personal AI computer assistant? Sure, maybe.
"Friend"? Yeah how about no. And how dare you?

Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.

Played around with #kittenspaceagency modding last night, and of course started with a mod to receive SmoothTrack head tracking data and control the camera with it. It totally worked! 🤩 Very fun! #buildinpublic

Yep have successfully done this multiple times. ChatGPT's Deep Research does a WAY better job finding deal codes than I can manually with Google (and my Google Fu skills are not bad if I do say so myself).
This may be an expensive way to save money, but if you're paying for ChatGPT or Claude and not doing this, then you're just leaving money on the table. Works great for finding promo codes too.

John Webster’s theological definition of God’s immensity:
“the surpassing excellence of God that includes within itself the boundless capacity for nearness”
Beautiful. He had a way with words even though he had no relation to the dictionary guy! 😅

Friends are wanting to send us a fun package of food goodies from the States. $47 value in the box. I have now been sent MULTIPLE cryptic customs sheets to fill out, and even when they sent the package (postage OVER $150), they had to as well.
Multiple people + multiple hours for a $47 box. 🤮

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

My dad was there and he is a lifelong republican, conservative evangelical. I would have been there but was busy preparing a sermon for church tomorrow.
Johnson: "We call it the Hate America Rally that will happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet you you'll see Hamas supporters, I bet you'll see antifa types, I bet you'll see Marxists on full display, people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic"
