Political Money Is Flowing to Influencers. But From Whom?
Social media stars have become a magnet for campaigns and political groups that want to push priorities without disclosing where their money is going.

I'm in the market for a reliable sewing machine—I want to replace my old Singer. I made a mistake at first, buying an old Bernina Virtuosa with mechanical/electronic issues (luckily returned).
A sewing machine repairman told me that early digital Berninas are risky, and he recommended a mechanical Bernina 930, 1030 or 1031.
A serviced vintage Bernina 930 is now on hold for me at a dealer.
Anyone here with Bernina 930 experience? #Sewing #Bernina #SewingMachines

Meeting the Market and Mission Moment with a Multi-Billion Dollar xOT Cybersecurity Platform and Team | Robert M. Lee | 98 comments
Today we enhance OT cybersecurity forever Ten years ago, almost every investor I met told me that focusing on OT cybersecurity was a mistake. Not just unfundable. A mistake. Numerous told me it was "stupid" because OT would somehow go away. I understood the argument. OT was a small, specialized market even though it's the critical part of critical infrastructure. The problems were genuinely hard. And as a founder, I kept telling them I wanted to pursue this mission long term with no view…

Just made a mistake on page 40 of a #LEGO build that turned out to be wrong, but it didn't interfere with anything until page 242. It was a but janky, but thankfully I didn't need to unbuild everything in between to fix it. Lego puts a huge amount of attention into the design of their instructions, but things like this are pretty hard to catch. I was building quickly and assumed a beam should go on symmetrically when actually it needed to be off-center.

La guerre à 125 millions de dollars pour faire aimer l'IA aux américains
Un puissant lobby financé par les pontes de l'industrie tente de manipuler l'opinion publique pour éviter une régulation et contrer la révolte anti-IA.

Me (to myself): I’m not that weird
🧠: ofc not
🧠: bee tee dubs, whatcha doin?
Me: …recomposing the MST3K theme song to the tune of Cheap Tricks’ “Surrender”, why?
🧠: as do we all, from time to time, no reason for asking.

I can image a developer parallel to the first, too: the human still using all their skills and experience, but with the machine catching mistakes, providing context and validation and vigilance that is •orthogonal to• testing and type checking and code crafting and — the big one! — actually •thinking• about the problem.
That’s a regime I imagine developers would feel a lot better about. And I know there are people out there pursuing it! But they’re not the ones dominating the conversation.
