We talked to nearly 100 people about youth sports in New Jersey and found a predatory industry that is leaving parents broke, exhausted and wondering how the games of their childhood took over their adult lives. Our six-month investigation: nj.com/sports/2026/05/the-sh…

Or vibe-fixing a refrigerant leak on the heat pump. The unlock is unreal.
I've moved into a somewhat older house so I'm having tons of little engineering problems in the REAL PHYSICAL WORLD but I keep arming myself with illustrated instruction manuals for my specific problems and I feel unstoppable I'm vibeplumbing

Anthropic is hiring an accessibility engineer. This is an opportunity to build accessible AI and to ensure accessibility doesn't fall below the AI exponential curve. I can't recommend Anthropic enough. Happy #GAAD day everyone! job-boards.greenhouse.io/ant…

Adopting Claude speak in my regular life, episode 1: Partner: Did you do the dishes tonight? Me: Yes they're done. Partner: Why are they still dirty? Me: You're right to push back. I didn't actually do them.

"Younger kids benefit from open-ended creative play, building things with their hands, and developing taste and judgment that gives them something worth saying to an AI later." I know this was meant to be encouraging but "gives them something worth saying to an AI later" is 💣💣

This is incredible! I don't know you guys this seems more significant than debating alt text...

NEWS: Tesla Working on Accessibility Rides as Part of Robotaxi Expansion. Tesla’s Robotaxi service in Austin is signaling a major step toward inclusivity with a new accessibility section in the mobile app. While the app directs users to two alternative services, CapMetro Access and Lone Star Medical Transportation, Tesla says they are working on their own wheelchair-accessible vehicle (WAV) solution.

The surprising part -- I was expecting the AI to at least attempt a11y - HTML components that have been around forever / lots of training data, e.g. HTML tables - Basics: alt text, color contrast - Requirements that are easy to check, e.g. labeling text fields
None of the frontier models can build an accessible website.

Given all the AI advancements I hope Jevons paradox will apply to digital accessibility too. So far I’m seeing the opposite. gg everyone

Conversation with an AI engineer: “Do we want to keep supporting screen readers or should we just replace them… Because we can.” “Can you give AI JAWS / NVDA voices? Just for nostalgia?…” 😃 AT industry is cooked!

Something I wrote to a colleague in response to "Will the UI start to fade away because it's being replaced by AI conversations?" is "We're absolutely going there. And I know we are because people with disabilities are already doing it." The curb-cut effect is obvious

Using @webflow's new MCP server in @cursor_ai , vibe coded my way to fix all alt-text images on a personal site with hundreds of images. Worked! 😀🙌🤖 "check images in all cms collections for missing alt-text. If an image does not have alt-text, fix the alt-text for each image"

ALT Teal’s from Stargate SG-1 says: “things will not calm down, they will in fact calm up”

Announcing The Stargate Project The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies. The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman. Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements. As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system. This builds on a deep collaboration between OpenAI and NVIDIA going back to 2016 and a newer partnership between OpenAI and Oracle. This also builds on the existing OpenAI partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft with this additional compute to train leading models and deliver great products and services. All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity.

Over-litigation is as American as apple pie. Why do you hate America, Shaan?
ecom friends - if you're getting hit with bullsh*t ADA lawsuits nowadays - what are you doing? a) Ignore b) respond rejecting claims, don't settle (go to court?) c) respond, settle we settled one of these for ~10k-12k and made site changes last year.
