Everything I publish, in the order I published it: dispatches from Twitter, videos from YouTube and notes from my vault, archived here in full — text, images, video and links — so they outlive the platforms.
"What if progress in public science isn’t held back by bottlenecks in funding or talent – but by the institutions we run them through? Institutions are technologies. If we want to pursue new kinds of science, we need new institutional hardware." – Laura Ryan
Emphases mine, thank you @Ananyo for the heads-up!
New from @instituteGC: a proposal for Lovelace Disruptive Invention Labs
Is a better science possible, & how can we build it? 🏗️
Britain should pioneer a complementary model for research at the intersection of science & engineering – inverting core assumptions of modern public R&D
I believe the only way to “prove-prove” your question is by showing you how I arrived at my response to you here. The actual messy editing process and not just the final message.
For that, I’m working on an app that “proves your writing is human” called Pudding.
It’s for macOS and it’s an editor that also keeps track of my writing process.
If you’re interested, here it is on the app store:
This doesn't get old. It still mesmerizes me to see how well this works - even after months of running @Claudeai Code sub-agents in accordance with our XP/TDD practices.
And we haven't even touched Claude Code skills yet.
We definitely need to talk about responsible use of AI at work:
"...Of 1,150 U.S.-based full-time employees across industries, 40% report having received workslop in the last month. Employees who have encountered workslop estimate that an average of 15.4% of the content they receive at work qualifies. The phenomenon occurs mostly between peers (40%), but workslop is also sent to managers by direct reports (18%)."
Hi @screensdesign_ you seem like the person who would know this: Is it possible, for a macOS app on the app store, to also have videos instead of screenshots on the app's page?
I only saw "Upload your image assets in these formats..." in the App Store Connect UI (?)

Tired and zonked but happy that I, we, did this. Took us 10 years for cleaning up 81 years of family history and secrets and taboos and resentments. And blind spots. Never underestimate blind spots and the "operators" of the system that hide in them ;)
On the train heading home.
A heuristic for blind spots that's worked well for me:
"Trust your feelings, question your thinkings."
(Ahem, and yes, that's "thinkings", not "thinking" because I needed a better word. I'm also very proud of the whole thing)

It’s the best model in the world for multimodal understanding, and our most powerful agentic + vibe coding model yet. Gemini 3 can bring any idea to life, quickly grasping context and intent so you can get what you need with less prompting.
Find Gemini 3 Pro rolling out today in the @Geminiapp and AI Mode in Search. For developers, build with it now in @GoogleAIStudio and Vertex AI.
The only reason it's such a small overall download count is that it's a total micro-niche app in the first place. But the ASO mechanics clearly work ☺️
To boost your app's keyword rankings, focus on downloads.
No matter if organic or paid.
These are the top "11" marketing channels to grow your app. t.co/h4y6HmRRX1
@matteo_spada I can confirm, even for a tiny app with only a handful of downloads, that within the last year, with just one round of @TryAstroApp-informed keyword revision, practically all downloads came from ASO. I was super busy at work, so I didn't follow up but, yes, clearly the way to go!
Harvard Business ReviewAI-Generated “Workslop” Is Destroying ProductivityDespite a surge in generative AI use across workplaces, most companies are seeing little measurable ROI. One possible reason is because AI tools are being used to produce “workslop”—content that appears polished but lacks real substance, offloading cognitive labor onto coworkers. Research from BetterUp Labs and Stanford found that 41% of workers have encountered such AI-generated output, costing n…↗ hbr.org
