One of my favorite pieces of software is Apple photo search. If you've got an iPhone, try it: great searches to try are "animal selfie", "bird", "ice cream", or "cake".What's particularly amazing about these searches is that the machine learning is performed on-device. In fact, …

post Everything Old is New Part 2: Why Online Anonymity Matters

I'm nearing the end of my first week on the Whole30 diet. I'm still not what sure I think about it: which foods are allowed and which aren't feels a bit arbitrary, and the very fact that the diet has a logo and a trademark is off-putting. On the other hand, maybe it's my …

I'm still processing the events of this week: the obvious buffoonery of the Q mob contrasts starkly with reports of an intention to hang the Vice President, cable ties brought into the Capitol to detain hostages, and the obvious white supremacist flags that were flown both inside …

I've got less than zero sympathy for companies like Facebook which argue they will be hurt by greater user privacy provisions. If your business model depends on building surveillance infrastructure and aggregating as much information as possible about peoples' private lives, your …

December 31, 2019. I preen in front of my mirror, dressed in an elegant 1920s-style faux-vintage loaner from a friend, then add the finishing touches—costume jewelry, a feathered headband, glitzy earrings. A friend swings by with her dog to pick me up, and we head to the suburbs …
