I just now learned that the New Zealand government owns and runs a massive network of farms. 360,000 hectares! And it's profitable. Funny how it doesn't really pitch it self as publicly owned.

I find something really confusing having a mobile app in beta is that there are tons of people who beg and beg for early access, but then once you give it to them they don't install the app at all or install it but never once open it. What's going on?
Something I've noticed from using LLMs more is a real sense of relief. I have pretty crippling dyslexia.
The same is true for coding. I'm good at systems thinking — knowing how things need to come together, holding the complicated picture in my head. I've built a lot of interesting projects that work.
Spell checkers don't really work for me — for that to work, you have to get close enough to the word AND be able to recognize which one is correct from a list. I often have to fall back to checking definitions.
Kind of like being able to work and think in my native language rather than one I learned as an adult, where I'm constantly doing the mental work of translation.
The hard part was never figuring out what needed to be done or how it should work. It was the damned syntax.
But talking to an LLM, it doesn't care — and it does a much better job of figuring out meaning and the correct word from context. I've been able to stop doing all that extra cognitive labor. It feels liberating and relaxing.
My usual workaround was to Google the word, see what came back, then double-check I had the right one. It's really exhausting.

Does it strike anyone else as sad that the royal formerly known as Prince Andrew was arrested for issues related to fraudulently representing the UK in trade negotiations and not rape and pedophilia?
Maybe we should name every public building in America after Trump. So the name becomes so generic to lose its meaning. The Trump bus stop 122.

This is the kind of thing that could happen to Bluesky as well. A decentralized network can become over-reliant on the services provided by the core protocol provider. Looks like the backups works and they’re going to restore everything, but it is a warning sign for all of these protocols.
