Small hack to find your people.

Instead of saying "I have this idea to do XYZ ..." say "Has anyone thought of doing XYZ and how could I join/help?". The thought here is that everything you can think of has already been thought by someone else. And instead of letting your ego win by hoping you, and only you, are the best leader for this idea, understand the power of ideas that are free to roam and find new friends.

Oh Gott, mein aktueller Kunde (Automotive) färbt auf mich ab.
Ich will ein Board designen und fange erst einmal mit einerr Tabelle an, was das alles können soll und wie welche Parameter sind. Dann mache ich dort die Bereechnungen. Wenn das alles fertig ist, muss ich nur noch Schaltung und Layout zusammenklickern.
"Excel Engineering" oder so.
Mehr Planung, weniger Yolo.

I'm experimenting with some calmer UI options for Maxine. Using colors as accents to make the overall UI easier on the eyes while maintaining the visual information you get from the color (muscle group trained). Also made using workout plans a bit more obvious with a big "add to workout" button.

"AI disclaimers for readers have been hotly debated in the news industry, with some critics arguing that such labels alienate audiences, even when generative AI is only used as an assistive tool."

Somehow this just reminds me of when people were embarrassed to admit they were paying for Twitter/X.

A new bill in New York would require disclaimers on AI-generated news content

A new bill in the New York state legislature would require news organizations to label AI-generated material and mandate that humans review any such content before publication. On Monday, Senator Patricia Fahy (D-Albany) and Assemblymember Nily Rozic (D-NYC) introduced the bill, called The New York…

A Broken Heart - Allen Pike

https://allenpike.com/2026/a-broken-heart/

- 개발자가 웹 앱 대시보드가 Safari에서 10배 느리게 로딩되는 것을 발견

- Claude 로 디버깅하며 React 문제, 서버 체크, 성능 프로파일링을 거쳐 원인을 추적

- 원인은 Noto Color Emoji 폰트를 사용한 하트 이모지 하나였으며, Safari의 느린 SVG 렌더링으로 인해 1600ms 레이아웃 지연 발생

- 해결책은 Apple Color Emoji를 먼저 사용하는 것

A Broken Heart

Or, getting a 100x speedup with one dumb line of code.

My student walked into my office and stared at the open copies of Russell & Norvig and Kleinberg & Tardos on my desk, with a look of shock and horror on their face, and then went: Do you have time to read all of that‽

I mean... given the notes scribbled in the margins and the bookmarks sticking out of my books, I can hardly deny that I've read at least parts of them in quite some detail. If I admit that, however, my students are no longer going to buy the "sorry I don't have time for an extra meeting" line...

Anybody have a good comeback for me for the next time this happens? This time I just went with "er... that's kind of the idea of studying... that you read your textbooks..." 🤦‍♀️
