A Python CLI tool that strips background noise from any video file using ML denoisers — while copying the video stream byte-for-byte. A 6 GB 4K file processes in minutes instead of hours.AIMachine Learning
Firefox rendering SVGs as cross-hatched blocks
This has been an ongoing issue for me for some time and I've been unable to wade through the AI-generated search slop to find an answer. Basically, SVGs are incorrectly rendered in Firefox, making a number of sites unusable. Here is the web terminal of my Home Assistant in Firefox: Here is the same screen...firefoxmozilla
Connection & Digital Minimalism
How do you stay connected while practicing digital minimalism, and how did you make the switch?socialfriendship
The app that wants to sound human
There's a particular moment in every AI voice interaction that breaks the spell. The assistant finishes its perfectly accurate sentence, and instead of responding naturally, it waits — silently, patiently, like a customer service machine — for you to give it the next command. The rhythm is wrong. It feels like filling out a form, not holding a conversation. Sesame AI, the startup co-founded by Oculus co-founder Brendan Iribe, has spent the last several years obsessing over that exact problem. Th...Tech

Black Butterflies
Kupajo warns us to beware of black butterflies. Male grayling butterflies prefer to mate with darker female graylings. When caged with a female grayling and a cardboard cutout of a grayling painted black, the male will choose the cardboard cutout over the female. Beyond being an example of bro falling for an unrealistic standard of...TechStandard

When do we get a Privacy-Preserving CDN?
The surveillance-capitalism business model that defines the Internet today is only going to get more imposing. The vast majority of our online requests today are serviced and logged by centralized infrastructure - even more centralized than what we probably expect. While our collective hivemind takes rightful pride in the successful pushes that have improved this...1
Pocket Computers
John Burn-Murdoch writes for Financial Times about the single unifying theory around the decline in fertility. The number of births fell first and fastest in the areas that received high-speed mobile connectivity earliest. The authors argue that smartphones have transformed how young people spend time with one another, sharply reducing in-person socialising and leading to...TechStandard
Lifting Mastodon rate limits
I'm a reluctant Bluesky user and a new Bluesky user. I expanded my site's syndication implementation to support Bluesky and updated my links implementation to support tagging authors on Bluesky. Why join now? I'm not totally sure. Indigo launching was a factor. It looked like (and is) a lovely app.developmentdocker

The Intelligence Is Still Artificial
The opinions on AI that you find on the internet tend to fall in the extremes of the other side. Either AI is the downfall of humanity or its savior. My thoughts on the subject, as on many others, ride in the middle of the road. In my professional life, AI has been a great...TechStandard

Hacktivism can sometimes be understandable. Yet it amazes me that some people would think that to attack school teachers and students is to live a meaningful and purposeful life.TechStandard
Building the future
Watching the tech hype train while working in the industry has always felt a bit surreal. There's this nascent feeling that what I'm working on, while it pays my bills, either won't amount to much or is potentially a net negative. I'll admit that I'm predisposed to cynicism and will freely cast off jokes at the expense of what I observe. It's easy to do.aitech

I just signed up for access to Attie, a new AI-based app from Bluesky, which allows you to shape your feed on the social network using plain language. To be honest, I wasn’t that excited about the app when it was first announced. It can be hard these days to sift through the AI hype...TechStandard
Personal site infrastructure, diagrammed
That I even need and have made a diagram of the infrastructure for this site speaks to how over-engineered it is. Yet, while it is ostensibly a personal site, it's a personal site that's replaced many services that I previously used.developmentwebdev
