It’s our mission to change this [Mens suicide rates and declining mental health] through talking groups that start with asking ‘How are you? Out of 10?’ By putting a number on how we feel and explaining why, men have a way to open up and measure their mental fitness.
Why are kids pens circular rather than square? they roll away.. maybe triangular is the move… ↳
This seems smart in theory — make money when exporting high value things — but seems awful in reality as there is no way the US making $1.5B justifies giving China such advanced chips…
my mother was taking her dog for a walk and was bringing Henry; without thinking she tried to put a leash on Henry rather than her dog ↳
things i forgot for our big trip:
a bluetooth speaker
an extra USB cable (i brought 1x cable but it has 2x ends, but i think I need another one)
But if parents want their kids to put down their phones, they need to open the front door. Nearly three-quarters of the children in our survey agreed with the statement “I would spend less time online if there were more friends in my neighborhood to play with in person.”
I teach HS Science in the south. I can only speak for my district, buta few teacher work days in the wave of enthusiasm I'm seeing for AI tools is overwhelming. We're getting district approved ads for AI tools by email, Admin and ICs are pushing it on us, and at least half of the teaching staff seems all in at this point. I was just in a meeting with my team and one of the older teachers brought out a powerpoint for our first lesson and almost everyone agreed to use it after a quick scan- but it was missing important tested material, repetitive, and just totally airy and meaningless. Just slide after slide of the same handful of sentences rephrased with random loosely related stock photos. When I asked him if it was AI generated, he said 'of course', like it was a strange question. Then, I told the team I might go in a different direction because I wanted to avoid using AI in the classroom and the team lead made a face and told me that all of the lessons she brings for our meetings have been AI generated for the last year.
Constantly amazed at how often Product Managers jump on the AI bandwagon without full context. Eg: someone excitedly discussing the Agentic Shopify MCP when just using a simple Restful API is more than sufficient. ↳
Works surprisingly well. It doesn't output Fusion360 files but you can adjust the parametric parameters within the UI.

D started pedaling recently and it's our favourite thing.
the hardest thing in the world is to make Safari autocomplete your credit card in a field Safari doesn't deem worthy of receiving your credit card info.↳
I almost pasted this thought into ChatGPT because it was a bit wordy but I caught myself at the last minute... ↳
For many many years the Product Management Industrial Complex has expanded (with bloat, fat salaries and nebulous value) and it's amazing to me how PMs have embraced AI to do the core aspects of that role (writing specs, discovery, etc) and I wonder if that increasing depenence on AI will be the thing that makes the wider industry realise that the PM field has grown way beyond what it's primary goal was (helping organizations delight users)↳
