Until now, if you lost or broke your phone, your Signal message history was *gone,* a real challenge for everyone whose most important conversations happen in Signal. So, with careful design and development, we’re rolling out opt-in secure backups.

Hot take: If schools around the world stopped teaching history and instead taught empathy, learning to think in someone else’s shoes, perhaps through role-play and case studies, the world would be a much better place.

I read somewhere that some companies are banning AI tools for junior developers.
My take:
I don't see much difference between juniors using AI and copy-pasting from StackOverflow. That has always been a potential issue. The problem has never been the tool or technique, it's about intention.

Le commun de cette population, ça ne serait pas la volonté de promouvoir des algorithmes créant davantage de communs ? #MiseEnAbyme
#AujourdhuiJApprendsQue il y a une définition mathématique du Tournesol, qui est une famille F d'ensembles avec un noyau S tel que l'intersection de deux sous-ensembles distincts de F est exactement S.

Whatever you think of him, Paul Graham is correct about what the data shows.
Bluesky drives atproto network adoption, so fixing the retention issue is #1 most important problem to solve for Bluesky and the atproto network.
Without high retention you're Sisyphus rolling the boulder up for eternity.
