My first month in San Francisco flew by! So thrilled to be back at Watershed.

Also: now we manage over a quarter of US carbon emissions 🌎

Ooh! Where are the details / is it open to the public?

I would love a better schedule site! I refer to @binx.bsky.social’s amtrakexplorer.com for a map constantly

Being able to incant extensions directly inside Raycast (a la Sky’s AI AppleScripts) would be amazing 👀

I totally agree they’re damaging, especially how they’re being used for the wrong things, but the fact that we cannot get rid of them at this point is why I said the train left the station

Oh yes, this is lovely! I would love to see tools for thinking about vertical rhythm as a designer/engineer built straight into the browser devtools, as realistically I’m not going to bring in a system like this to every project that could benefit from it

Gen AI is 100% a new imperialism, the development has been indefensible. But I can’t defend the ideological, material, or economic underpinnings of the chips enabling this conversation either. & it feels like the right thing for me to use those as tools to build more of the just world I want to see

I wholly respect resistance as a response but it feels like an arbitrary line. I’m making a project rn using an LLM to illuminate some of that toxic history in gov archives; I think the train left the station on LLMs being part of tech landscape, & now it’s up to us to shape how they’re used. 3/3

then the underpinnings/design of the computers themselves being conceived of for military/surveillance purposes from the beginning. LLM development has been wildly unethical, but at the same time hasn’t all our digital technology? We’ve just had it long enough to normalize that story? 2/3

I totally understand this, but learning more about the history of computing, I feel the computers & internet we’re used to come from the same lineage. The toxic materials, wildly polluting manufacturing in the South Bay to water-hungry fab labs in Taiwan, outsourcing mining to slavery, 1/3

Love this. I wish there were easier ways of overlaying grids exactly like that in the browser to check my alignment. Did you add those as an image overlay or is there a tool I’ve overlooked?
April 24, 2025 at 7:31 PM
Totally. I also feel less inspired to write things in a better way after the functionality is already working & it’s not a code mess I directly made

Not a specific rec but icones.js.org is solid for exploring too
