Weekend project with @jodiechan.bsky.social

Does anyone know whether the rate at which AI (e.g. Claude etc) renders text is the rate at which the text is actually being generated - or is it just a clever visual illusion as a rate limiting mechanism?

A short substack note about how I thought I missed running, but actually missed being good at it even more.

Do we serve social media? Or does it serve us? Thoughts on "doing the thing" versus sharing me "doing the thing" and remembering the purpose of what social media should be, for me.

Do we serve social media? Or does it serve us?

Personal thoughts from someone who loves being present (IRL), who even in large crowds prefers one or two conversations. I’m often conflicted by how much my life and work revolve around being online, sharing en masse.

(I'm in big agreement with you in case the tone didn't carry)

But that would mean actually defining it, including what doesn’t count… wouldn’t it? And if legislation had a clear rubric, what would happen to that big interpretation umbrella some people seem so fond of reaching for? 😬

true, a variable! Though a more broad strokes encompassing term to describe what happens and a little less mystical (than the term) in practice

(unfortunately) true and very well said

exactly !

Well..depends how you define the Great firewall of China (as something that blocks everything or just some things), but actually surprisingly less than some people think

Still fascinating how many global sites that load fast elsewhere still stall inside China.

40-60% of visitors time out, with pages taking 18sec+ vs 2sec.

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Ah I see! Amazing, and how much access do you grant all these employees? Do you "trust" them the same?

Who here's moved from ChatGPT over to Claude in the past few months?

I've treated the two platforms like two different employees at work, but gosh the @anthropic.com strides are wide.

Is it 1) possible and 2) good to have one ring (I mean ai platform) to rule them all?
#ai

haha maybe the bears have changed their preferences or are on a non-dessert diet!

Thank you, it has been! Thinking of you and that we're due an IRL conversation 💗

@tammyeverts.com is it odd that the title of this post made me think of you? Hope you and the the mint barks you make are well!

I paid my therapist a zillion dollars to tell me this, so I’m passing it on to anyone else in MN who needs to hear it:

Think of taking time away to recharge not as not doing the work, but as doing quality control for the work. You’re not going to be able to show up to do it well if you’re depleted

It could just be coincidence, but it seems we're not the only ones? @anthropic.com @developers.google.com

they do! But so far have been directed to the standard responses across DMARC, Spam filter checks, unsubscribe options (though not applicable to email). But alas, we're going to keep investigating and perhaps that's just first level of support.

Anyone know anything about Google's latest updates affecting spam filters on Gmail workspace emails? This is after checking out all the potential culprits across links/DMARC etc and getting top marks via tools.

Happening to our workspace emails and that of our very reputable agency partners too!

"AI will replace all the jobs!" Is Just Tech Execs Doing Marketing - SparkToro Over the weekend, I went digging for evidence that AI can, will, or has replaced a large percent of jobs. It doesn't exist. Worse than that, actually,

NEW post: sparktoro.com/blog/ai-will...

When tech execs say "AI will replace 50% of jobs!" that's just marketing. And when press, media, and yes, social media users like us uncritically repeat it, we help make sure that they'll say it again.

😍 thanks for putting me among such other great ones and taking it with you on your adventures!

Haha brilliant

@annamiglesia.bsky.social any thoughts on this? We cover different corners of the world but perhaps there’s some knowledge sharing on how you’d approach it :)

Superb community this one.

What tools do you use to attribute #webperf metrics to business ones? Do these tools work in China?

An agency partner recently asked - “is there was a way to track potential traffic lost on a website to build a case for improvements in markets with less visibility?”

Curious what you lot share.

If you're new to Bluesky and/or web performance, the wonderful @sia.codes has created an excellent starter pack of front-end #webperf folks to follow.
