How ISO Works Inspired by Om I've been getting back into my DSLR photography. I learned a lot about how ISO settings work from this delightful physics YouTube channel MinutePhysics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWSvHBG7X0w

I have 100,000 followers on here (i know; tumblr power user jmg) and i think it gives me, like, zero social capital? Which I think might be why it's still good.
Like, when my agents are pitching me for something, they'll be like, "Look at his facebook! Look at his tiktok!" They're never gonna say, "100,000 people follow him on tumblr. Remember tumblr?"
But the thing is, I don't actually use facebook or tiktok (except for promo). This is the only place I use, the only place where I'm interested in the community and shared creation and all that shit.
So long live tumblr. Nobody who's gonna hire me to do anything has ever heard of it. It makes for a terrible space to promote your forthcoming book tour. And that's literally why it doesn't suck.
How'd I cut back on caffeine? The usual. Diet, discipline. One thing that helped a lot was that I harnessed the void. I tapped into the little incipient void which sits at the heart of every thinking animal, and I fed it. I hatefully nurtured it with every malicious thought, every unkind impulse, every knee-jerk reaction best discarded, and it gorged on these things it metastasized. It swelled past the confines of my heart and fought for space with with my stomach, my liver, my intestines, winning handily, subsuming each in turn, until I was little more than a man-shaped howling wrathful abyss sheathed in taut, paper-thin human hide, wandering through this fallen world in anticipation of whatever fleeting offense finally catalyzes my inevitable rupture and detonation. And now I'm down to two, maybe three cups a day
If you’re going to give me AI slop, at least make it fun! Give me iambic pentameter. Make it all rhyme. Have it be a song. I think we’re under-utilizing the artistic and creative capabilities of models by making them produce work that sort-of-but-not-really looks like human effort.

In honor of Father’s Day, I wanted to add to the two quotes from my Dad’s obituary, “Seven days without chicken made one weak.” and “If you fail at raising your children, nothing else mattered.” with another saying he had. Ain’t no hill for a stepper. If you’d like to learn more about this, check out this part of the A Way with Words podcast, and apparently, it might have come from the musician John Gaar.

It looks like Ubiquiti is coming for Sonos with its PoE Audio Port, a $199 device that closely resembles the $499 Sonos Port, and $599 PowerAmp. Sonos is going up-market with the Amp Multi. Sonos has had a rough patch, but I’m pretty ride or die for them, and some of my favorite people are there: Tom Conrad, the CEO, Hugo Barra on the board, and Mike Tatum in CorpDev (he’s the guy who got me to drop out of college and join CNET back in 2004!). The only time I don’t do Sonos in a home is for the amazing audio experience of Syng Alpha. The triphonic thing can be really magical. (Analog/vinyl is still Shindo Laboratories, but that’s just for special occasions.) For headphones right now, it’s either some custom Airpods Pro 3 or the Sennheiser HDB 630 (Hat tip: Pud, who is also making some crazy headphones).

Patricia from Geneva: What about multilingual?
बहुभाषी डेटा संरचनाएं इतनी कष्टकारी हैं कि शायद वास्तविक समय एआई अनुवाद को सभी के लिए दूर कर देना ही बेहतर होगा। मैं हाथ से ऐसा करने के सभी कारण जानता हूं, लेकिन मुझे लगता है कि दुनिया के अधिकांश लोगों को अब इसकी परवाह नहीं है, और यह कुछ वर्षों में पूरा हो जाएगा।
Les structures de données multilingues sont tellement pénibles qu'il est peut-être préférable de laisser la traduction par l'IA en temps réel faire disparaître cela pour tout le monde. Je connais toutes les raisons de le faire à la main, mais je pense que la plupart des gens dans le monde ne s'en soucient plus, et ce sera terminé dans quelques années.
Die Datenstrukturen der Mehrsprachigkeit sind so lästig, dass es vielleicht besser ist, die Echtzeit-KI-Übersetzung dafür zu sorgen, dass dies für alle verschwindet. Ich kenne alle Gründe, dies von Hand zu tun, aber ich denke, den meisten Menschen auf der Welt ist das egal, und das wird in ein paar Jahren abgeschlossen sein.
Le strutture dati del multilingue sono una tale seccatura, forse è meglio lasciare che la traduzione dell'intelligenza artificiale in tempo reale faccia sparire tutto questo per tutti. Conosco tutte le ragioni per farlo manualmente, ma penso che alla maggior parte del mondo non interessi più, e questo sarà completo in pochi anni.
