My wife - a former elementary teacher - and her friend - an art historian - just launched their Kickstarter and I'm genuinely proud of them.

They made a children's art book where a single line runs through twelve real masterpieces - kids follow it and actually look at the art. A lovely way to build art appreciation without it feeling like a lesson.

When we think about privacy, we often focus on the technical tools. While this is an important part of it, it's crucial to also consider how regulations and invasive practices can impact us collectively.

Whether or not the tech world is capitalizing on this declining trust, it's certainly making medical alternatives more convenient. The reality is that people are turning to this often free, always available, and quick-to-use technology for answers that a doctor or medical professional would once provide: Why you probably shouldn't tell a chatbot everything about your health zdnet.com/article/medical-advi

Reversing memory loss via gut-brain communication

Link: med.stanford.edu/news/all-news
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

Enhancing gut-brain communication reversed cognitive decline, improved memory formation in aging mice

Aging causes changes in gut bacteria in mice, which hampers communication between the intestines and the brain. Restoring this connection helped old mice form memories as well as young animals.

Everything we've made will break, buildings and streets will crumble, and cities will be abandoned. But the CO₂ we emit into the atmosphere will persist for millennia, and its climatic impacts will last longer than human civilization has existed. This is our legacy for the future.

Trump suggests high oil prices are a positive after bragging about low gas prices last month

The about-face comes as Trump's team has struggled to offer a clear plan for opening up the critical Strait of Hormuz so that tankers full of oil and natural gas are no longer stranded.

This is a long shot, but is there anyone here who is signed up for marketing emails by leatherspa.com? Did you see this illustration get used in late January or early February?

My invoice has not been paid for illustration/design work I did in January and I am being ghosted by the design contractor for it. I am gathering information before I pursue other options.

기술 자체를 애도하는 사람—코드를 쓰는 질감, 우아한 해법의 만족감—에게는 “그냥 적응해”라는 말이 아무 의미가 없다. 그 만족감을 다른 곳에서 찾아야 할 수도 있고, 일이 다르게 느껴질 것을 받아들여야 할 수도 있다. 그리고 솔직히, 지금까지 “장인 정신”에 생계가 걸려 있었다는 것은 운이 좋았던 것이다.

@lmorchardLes Orchard wrote something that stuck with me: AI-assisted coding isn't creating a split among developers. It's revealing one that was always there, just invisible when we all worked the same way.

If you're mourning the loss of the craft itself—the texture of writing code, the satisfaction of an elegant solution—that's real, and no amount of “just adapt” addresses it. You might need to find that satisfaction somewhere else, or accept that work is going to feel different. Frankly, we've been lucky there's been a livelihood in craft up to now.

Grief and the AI Split

TL;DR: AI-assisted coding is revealing a split among developers that was always there but invisible when we all worked the same way. I've felt the grief too—but mine resolved differently than I expected, and I think that says something about what kind of developer I've been all along.
