Tweet from xin (@bryanwangxin) “In Apple's keynote video, whenever Siri is mentioned, the audio is cut at the 3k, 4k, 5k, and 6kHz frequency bands to prevent nearby Apple devices from activating Siri while viewers watch the video.”

Heads up: if you see a book for sale with this cover * it is nothing to do with me, I didn't publish it * if you pay money for it, none of that money will go to me * this is V1, the old self-published edition of the story, not V2, the overhauled new edition which you (probably) actually want

Load … and hear me out: -bearing. Load-bearing is not just load-bearing, it’s load-bearing. And that’s load-bearing.

Another example of the 'radio' for hiding unwanted particles. I tune out the teal gas for most of the video, then briefly toggle it at the end. Those frames took ages to render because the acceleration structure gets crowded and we don't get to skip over as many voxels.

Fern says you can survive Tuesday.

A close-up of a fawn-colored pug resting its chin on its front paws. The dog is lying on a textured blanket with a vibrant blue, orange, and white geometric pattern, looking directly at the camera with large, expressive eyes. The background is slightly blurred, showing a tufted tan leather chair and a dark wooden cabinet against a pink wall.
