This specific use case is awesome-- I use an integrated AI notetaker in my self-built notes app for my thoughts and I wonder if I could connect the index to it?

More broadly: Invisible wearable microphones are coming for everyone and perfect memory will follow. I'm incredibly excited about this for myself and simultaneously terrified about everyone else having it.

It's coming fast enough that I'm beginning to assume in any decently sized crowd of tech folks /someone/ is recording everything.

Agree with a lot of this methodology-- having lived in NYC with kids the #1 contributing factor to a feeling of claustrophobia for me is the size of the sidewalk and its buffering from the road.

Compared to even the suburbs where 1-2 people on a sidewalk can feel like you're dangerously close to having to step into an active roadway, sidewalks in NYC neighborhoods like the upper east side feel gigantic and are bordered by parked cars that provide a buffer to the roadway.

In 1811 the grid plan designated sidewalk widths to be 20ft for major cross-town roads vs. many suburban sidewalk widths at 4-5 feet.

I'm a big fan of this sidewalk width map: https://sidewalkwidths.nyc/

I still have the giant fold-out hyperspace map at home somewhere from Star Control II and I think I have the DRM ring for Star Control I too! What a great set of games.

Playing 2-player melee on a single keyboard on my friend's 386 was so much fun.

I guess at least partially because part of the rebrand was supposed to be that you won't need a facebook account anymore to do meta things so gating the video is a little off-brand now.

https://meta.com is live as well.

...I can't tell if it's intentional that the page loads initially with the "facebook" brand in the uppper left and then quickly overwrites it with meta.
