I've been building ios and macos in claude code for months. Now trying other apps. First SuperApp, maybe codexl ater
At least twice the @FCC has referred to reforming a fictional law: the National Environmental Protection Act. It's the National Environmental *Policy* Act. #FactCheck #copyedit #GOOGL, @DOGE staff cuts?
Weeks of @FastCompany testing several #ios26 betas on #iphone models like the SE2 (plus results from other, expert, testers) show it should run well on even the oldest supported models. @Apple #ios26beta #ios26publicbeta #iphones #iphone11 #iphoneSE #ios

Workers at @amazon facility in Garner, NC, are voting to form a union. @FastCompany spoke with a key organizer in a sweeping survey of the Big Tech labor movement back in December.

While not campaign contributions, tax-deductible charitable donations are heavily funding US political movements. @FastCompany reports on top tools, called DAFs, used by right and left orgs like @DonorsTrust and @TidesCommunity Input from @IPS_DC fastcompany.com/91260303/ahe…

Nvidia just released a $249 computer that will change AI forever.
It's called the Jetson Nano - a tiny device that can run AI models locally.
This means AI can run without connecting to the cloud.
And it's about to spark the biggest tech battle of our time:
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is referencing the Jetson Orin Nano, released earlier this week, not the Jetson Nano, which was released in 2019. The Jetson Orin Nano has 140x the performance of the Jetson Nano.

Seems worth exploring
Clearly someone needs to try this at scale – pick 1000 published scientific papers at random, ask o1 or o1-pro to look for errors, and see what turns up. I'm going to give it a shot. Anyone interested in helping out?
(Incidentally, h/t @gibbnicholas for also noticing that o1-pro can spot the math error in the black plastics paper: xitter.cf/gibbnicholas/status/18…)
Randy Korgan of @Teamsters @amazon division told @FastCompany “What goes beyond that is a tremendous amount more,” foreshadowing efforts future like the new union that formed in San Bernardino 12/11. fastcompany.com/91241440/how…
As Randy Korgan of the @Teamsters told @FastCompany What goes beyond that is a tremendous amount more,” referring to upcoming organizing efforts.
ALT Teamsters press release about Amazon workers joining union
“We're just kind of cogs...like any other worker.” @marencosta tells @FastCompany how layoff-threatened tech worker labor organizers are finding common cause with other #bigtech employees. fastcompany.com/91241440/how…
Tech workers tell @FastCompany how they plan to deal with possible @realDonaldTrump cuts to @NLRB enforcement “A lot of people are considering things like labor stoppages and strikes as opposed to relying on labor law.” @ClarissaRedwine @techworkersco fastcompany.com/91241440/how…
A lot is going on (much in secret) to organize workers at #BigTech cos incl. @amazon @Google @Microsoft & many more. @FastCompany takes a deep dive and provides preview of what's next. @AlphabetWorkers @techworkersco @Teamsters etc. #bigtechrebellion fastcompany.com/91241440/how…
Given the hourly rate, it looks like this @Forbes gig is a case where they don't expect the reporter to know a lot about the beat.
A year ago, @robpegoraro busted myths around "shrink" (lost and stolen products) at retail in his @worthmag article. Today, @Bloomberg caught onto that in very interesting piece (Retailers Locked Up Their Products—and Broke Shopping in America).

I'd like to see @FastCompany - and other publications - better label opinion pieces. The tiny "POV" in gray text after the dateline was hard to even notice. Controversy over how quote was presented also didn't help.
Hey @FastCompany, it isn't ethical to fabricate quotes by taking two difference sentences from two different parts of an hour-long talk, placing them next to each other, and putting the whole shebang in a quote block that means the opposite of what I actually said.
Are there any conservative/libertarian/just not-progressive tech workers left? I suspect so, but they are hard to find. Fast Company would like to hear from you. DM's anonymous. Thanks!
