#BestMusicRecommendation of the week goes to https://tidal.com/track/78453074 that was shared with me by Nevi.

I love how chill but boomy it is, and that voice with an accent is fab!

#AwesomeMusicFind of the week goes to https://tidal.com/track/257135466

Amazing chill background / sleeping music.

This is a fascinating breakdown of ChatGPT by Knuth:

A bit hard to read in this form, but the content is worth scrolling back and forth.

This is an interesting challenge.

If only this was totally made up. Most UIs follow at least one of the anti patterns captured in this jewel.

I fucked up a little today.

I was going to get mad at myself, but then I reflected upon it, made a do-better plan, and forgave myself.

Progress!

I'm in Salt Lake City this week.

After a day exploring Bryce Canyon, I'm not geeking out at RemixConf 2023 where I spoke with my colleague and friend Nevi.

Replying to Avatar Phaedrus

https://stacker.news/items/174972/r/phaedrus Any ideas how NSA could break Signal? I can't think of anything except targeting single device through spyware.

Or this guy making shit up?

They could have just arrested the other party and forced them to unlock their phone. Or used social engineering to achieve the same.

What a wonderful album! Perfect for a quiet Saturday morning...

So this morning was all about exploring securing my nsec key via Mac keychain or Yubikey. Turns out that both are possible!

Keychain is a bit easier to setup, so that's what I did.

I’ve been boarding a lot of new people, often very senior people onto my team at Cloudflare, and one of my top onboarding topics has been how to minimize the impact of the Valley of despair.

This psychological phenomenon is real. I’ve experienced it myself several times and it can be a drag. There are hover coping strategies that help, mindset as described in this post is one, another one is providing people going through their professional (or personal) transition a lot of support. Quickly building a relationship based on trust helps. Radical candor is the way.

I’ve finally set up NIP-5 verification!

Quite easy.

Picard Hide and seek is such an amazing episode. True highlight of an epic season.

So well done and with so many important lessons about mental health, self discovery, conquering fears and evil, making friends and compromises.

I posted a thing about Google, Angular and me on the old site: https://twitter.com/igorminar/status/1649814778947461120

I really can’t wait to see what comes out of Human?

So much talent under one roof. I’m hopeful.

This video is a good summary of the latest about Humane but the author could be a bit more open minded: https://youtu.be/mvWqqs1dJ0I

This is a collection of lots of great ideas and wisdom: https://twitter.com/george__mack/status/1649835213982408704

Nostr is cool!

The future is decentralized and open.
