Why yes, you can run Factory’s Droid on a Raspberry Pi. Not officially, sure. This isn’t part of our CI/CD pipeline and we’re not publishing packages for it the way we do for our supported platforms. Still, it works!

Uber’s tired of getting sued for breaking laws so they’re trying to change them. Vote no.

Honestly, getting me to take the side of ambulance chasers is quite the accomplishment. I’m impressed by their dedication to evil.

Some tourists flagged me down outside the 4th and King Caltrain station to help with transit directions to Golden Gate Bridge. Their app had them walking up through the TL to catch a bus. I got them safely loaded onto a Muni to Powell to make that leg of it a lot easier. I hope. I wish they’d just taken my advice to get a cab or rideshare.

From the text of the agreement to end Trump’s War:

  1. Pending the final Deal, the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America agree to maintain the status quo; the Islamic Republic of Iran will maintain the current status quo of its nuclear program, and the United States of America will not impose any new sanctions, and will not deploy any additional forces in the region.

This return to the status quo cost 7-10K killed and 50K injured and $113B to the US alone.

Please, can we stop winning now? We can’t afford any more of these stupid victories.

Today was my 1 year anniversary as Head of Security at Factory. Quickest year of my life, and I still love coming to work every day. My coworkers are amazing!

Welp, I’ve agreed to be a panelist in a Shark Tank-style event where CISOs judge startup ideas. This is incredibly far out of my daily routine and comfort zone, so I felt obligated to say yes and commit to it before I had a chance to let myself back out.

Finished reading: Accelerando by Charles Stross 📚

Alright, so this was not the best written book I’ve stumbled across. It was alright, but Strunk & White cried a few times along the way. But the world building and imagination and prediction accuracy? Fantastic. It’s not high art, but art nonetheless.

Anthropic’s leaning in to the whole nanny state thing.
