I like riding my bicycle 🚲 and then looking at the ride data.
TIL there is buy now pay later for food deliveries. This is a terrible option.

I’m so glad I got rid of YouTubeTv. Such a shame that all of these companies are bending the knee. Where’s the “courage” to do the right thing?

Apple hasn’t shared pricing on the iPhones yet. Bet the starting prices are higher. Sure you’ll get “more” memory, but you all will have to pay more to start with. Not like they want to keep prices the same and just up the entry level memory.

The prodigal MagSafe battery returns!!!

I think the Apple Watch Ultra is an interesting product. But only 42 hours of battery life? The pricing on it is premium for a pretty abysmal battery life. Comparable enduro watches can last days.

Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.

I’m confused. SCOTUS said that colleges can’t use race for admissions but ICE can? So the default will be: if you aren’t white, you get arrested and then have to prove your innocence?

This is your friendly reminder that generative A.I. is not "intelligence" and it's not the "wave of the future."

No.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are super-expensive bullshit machines that suck up a fuck-ton of stolen data, including private info and creative content, in order to badly mimic it.

Oh man. Those new tariffs are going to hurt us American consumers quite a bit.

Been playing around with Agno: github.com/agno-agi/agno

Super intuitive and the documentation is solid: docs.agno.com/introduction

I'm finding it easier to use than langchain/langgraph for sure.
GitHub - agno-agi/agno: Agno is a lightweight library for building Multimodal Agents. It exposes LLMs as a unified API and gives them superpowers like memory, knowledge, tools and reasoning.

Looking for a resource showing annotated “complex” charts made with {ggplot2} and equivalent code in Python using plotnine.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

I wish Strava could make me a route based on real time vehicle traffic. E.g., build me a route that has many cyclists and very low vehicle traffic based on real time data.

WTF is wrong with Trump/Vance? They are disrespecting both the Office & President Zelensky. This is no way to talk to anyone. Period.

I was playing a board game with the kiddo and I thought it'd be fun to code it in Python. It's a text-based game. Simple. And a fun exercise. Not the most efficient/elegant code, but readable.

This is sage advice and one I strive to follow everyday. This advices applies to everyday folks too.
I found that the best way to build a business is to build a relationship with your customers ask how they are doing, how are the kids , how did their dad’s surgery go, show interest in them and mean it because they know what they want

really love how advocates for safer cycling and pedestrian infrastructure are radicals but people who want to drive fast & park wherever they want (at the risk of everyone else) are just normal reasonable humans
