Is this just a failure in our school system?

Partially. Being gifted is special needs education. And the average K-12 in the US is not equipped to provide that for that special need, especially in a post No Child Left Behind era.

A lot of adults conflate giftedness with maturity and expect the kid to act like an adult, combined with the pressure to perform and an identity built around being gifted...it fucks with development.

There is a reason why depression and suicide in adults can be correlated with formerly gifted children.


Well technically the agent did “build a website of the latest emergencies in every county”… it just so happens Alabama rarely has forest fires.

Yeah, it goes back to 2021 for California for a list of 15 fires or so - and we have 120 current ones, so probably not a good explanation.

I think people would be more interested in the heavy emergencies, not just the ultra light ones

You are correct. This has been patched.

I don’t think that’s what they were insinuating. Claude Code internally, Copilot for customers.

What were you spending on Copilot?

I'd give it 6 hours at best before those data centers tip over

Fonts are such an underappreciated art form. Love this

Too few people appreciate typefaces. Are they under-overall though? Those who do appreciate get really, really, really into them. I'm sure it nets out. :-)

I feel like hipster typography is as much an intrinsic part of 2010s design culture as cafes that look like farmhouses, or startups named after common nouns. Saturday Night Live made a sketch about Papyrus nearly ten years ago:

This was a great reminder to me that I needed to cancel every subscription I have tied to my Apple account. I'll give it to them though, they do make it very easy - I just cancelled all 10 of them in 10 seconds.

His other projects are so interesting. I love this one

Oh, that is fantastic.

What would really finish it for me, though, is if, when the button is released, the device shows a website, with URL visible, with a photo of the criminal, with added facial recognition and lookup of social media to find their identity.

What fun!


The narration is very nice. Any idea of what the data could be? He mentions that it's legal for him to store but illegal to sell abroad and ranges from "bad to very bad".

It's in teh description: "launching a fully functional darknet marketplace (http://spectretjag3wni6fzt445qwgokqlxnfz7fxkicj5efxjywlinibm...) that offers a trove of illegal data for sale across borders"

> offers a trove of illegal data for sale

I'm precisely asking for speculation on what this data could be, which is the goal of the artist as stated in his video


Stolen PII/identities/passwords are one of the most common you'll find.

Ah sorry, misunderstood. Probably credit cards etc

I don't need that, I already have a Twitter account

The sounds were so cool -straight out of sci-fi movie.

Traditional fix for coil hum is a blob of glue from a hot glue gun.

It is fun making it part of the show though.
