Where’s the AI design renaissance? “My hunch: vibe coding is a lot like stock-picking — everyone’s always blabbing about their big wins. Ask what their annual rate of return is above the S&P, and it’s a quieter conversation.” https://www.learnui.design/blog/wheres-the-ai-design-renaissance.html

LinkedIn does not equal opportunity.

The platform feels like a bad career fair hosted inside an empty mall with Spirit Halloween on one end and a Family Dollar on the other. Inside we're all wandering around like zombies from Dawn of the Dead, desperately trying to look employable. Especially the ones wearing that green sash.

The unbearable obviousness of AI fitness summaries

I’ve been testing AI fitness and health summaries across platforms like Whoop, Oura, and Strava. The results often repackage obvious stats and advice.

The Verge

TIL why (in British English) we don't use a dot after the “St” short form of “Street”.

The “t” in “St” is *not* the second letter of “Street”, but the sixth. So it's not an abbreviation (like “Prof.” for “Professor”, “etc.” in “et cetera”, etc.), it's a contraction (like “Dr” in “Doctor”, “Mr” in “Mister”, “St” in “Saint” and so on) and contractions don't have a dot.

I assumed it was just a weird English thing, but turns out I found the only language feature that's entirely consistent 

If you had six months off work without having to worry about finances, what would you do?

@stu

Across the six months, I’d try to have lunch once a week with a friend, do some short trips (to a specific show, exhibition or restaurant) and maybe get in a faraway location too.

Highly enjoyable thought exercise, thanks!
