RE: https://neuromatch.social/@jonny/117325356932250166 if i told people that Muse was surveilling them and drawing up Stasi-like graphs of their groups of family and friends, all easily available to Meta, they would assume i was overreacting.

"The Flock Sock is a slip on cover designed to help protect a Flock camera from the harmful radiation of the sun. Your city spent their very own hard earned tax dollars scattering these cameras everywhere to keep you safe, all it cost you was a little privacy. The very least you can do is help protect these valuable civil servants from getting a bad sunburn." https://makerworld.com/en/models/3107766-flock-sock-flock-camera-cover#profileId-3503858

lol I went down a RAG/semantic search rabbithole one time and it was soooo cool until I realized this has existed for **decades** and you can just implement elastisearch. difference was this took me a couple days, not many months and thousands of dollars. https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1vd0m4w/comment/p15jssv/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=2&utm_content=share_button

it's fascinating to me how many old, powerful people are rushing to doom the thing they are in charge of by squeezing extra lucre out of it now. the boomer generation doesn't believe in the future. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup-boycott-uefa-emergency-meeting-news-b3024441.html

the thing about the vibesession/Charts Guys/economic data discourse is that the kind of insecurity people feel in the US isn't going to show up on a chart. you can be making comfortable six figures, own a home, and have some savings and still know that college for your kids is the Hunger Games, you'll never be able to save enough for retirement, you can lose your job at any second, and bad medical news will bankrupt you.

a pediatric cancer hospital near us is trying to find a Spanish-Romanian translator with translation training and 2yrs of experience. this is a kind of professional that, within the decade, will not exist. it won't matter how much you're willing to pay, you won't find anyone.

the problem with public policies to build tech hubs in cities like Barcelona is they don't so much create jobs as incentivize multinationals to relocate existing high-salary employees there. like tourism, this is good for the hospitality sector, but kind of a destructive dead end in most other respects.
