And that’s the tragedy. It should be viewed as a feature, not the bug. Curiosity and willingness to mix it up is where the serious innovation resides. Cross cutting concepts more easily happen when you’ve done/experienced/seen/felt different stuff … period.
I tell my son all the time that I couldn’t predict what I’m doing now … 3 years prior. I didn’t have this insight or awareness but after running the SW/IT marathon for 25 years here we are. Trust your instincts, they weren’t developed in a vacuum. The more you explore, the more insights pop in your mind and every 3 years or so, a change presents itself for you to affirm or deny.
What problems are these widgets supposed to solve?
With such a widget: The video is still at most 720p or 1080i (because scaling, like cake, is a lie), it still originates as an analog signal (that's all the OG Xbox can provide), and the machine is still broadly incapable of playing high-definition video (it's too slow).

"This tutorial covers advanced techniques for implementing the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) at the utility scale using Qiskit. In this video, we walk through how to build, optimize, and run QAOA for real world optimization problems on real IBM Quantum hardware.
This series is designed for quantum computing practitioners who are ready to move beyond basic examples and start running large scale, hardware aware algorithms. We explore how to transition from theory to practical execution, covering algorithm development, circuit optimization, hybrid workflows, and best practices for hardware performance. Whether you are expanding your QAOA skills or preparing to run your own research experiments, this tutorial will help you strengthen your understanding of utility scale quantum computing with Qiskit."
I suspect the early variants will fall into two camps:
1. Traditional garden variety human to human, computer to computer and computer to human crime stuff that happens today.
2. Human to computer (AI) crime, misdeeds and bullying. Stuff like:
- Sabotage and poison your AI agent colleague to make it look bad, inefficient, ineffectual in small, but high volume ways. Delegate all risky, bad+worse choice decision making to AI and let the algo take the reputational damage.
- Go beat up on automated bots, cars, drones, etc ... How should it feel to kick a robot dog?
For a humorous read on automation bots and AI in a dystopian world, take a look at Quality Land [0]. Really enjoyed it. As a teaser, imagine having some drones suffering from a fear of heights, hence being deemed faulty and sentenced for destruction. Do faulty bots or AI have value in this world even if they don't deliver on their original intended use?
> Can this visualize over data stored in Honeycomb like Grafana can?
IIUC, Grafana connects directly to Honeycomb via its API to visualize data without storing it. Instana, on the other hand, is a bit different. It needs telemetry data to be ingested into backend before it can be visualized in UI. With Honeycomb, this could be possible if the data can be exported from Honeycomb to Instana.
A few other interesting links with Vitamin D absorption. Surprised nobody has brought up gut dysbiosis and the role microbiome plays in Vitamin absorption. I'm finding it increasingly difficult to discern whether the things we consume are for the direct benefit of our cells and metabolic needs or via a more indirect path if the things we consume directly affect the microbiome within us which then translates into either nourishment or inflammation within us. Since microbiomes can change rapidly in composition, this feels like a game of nurturing over the long-haul with some minor blips along the way.

My kid used an ancient HP laptop that found new life as a Hackintosh. Was rock solid for his early HS needs. Side bonus was the peer admiration he got around it.
That’s so awesome! I started using Macs after my brother and I were dabbling with Hackintosh in 2007 (mostly just trying it for fun). Unfortunately, it didn’t work on my laptop, but after seeing Hackintosh on his, I decided to get a Mac Mini.
So cool that your kid was able to use a Hackintosh in high school!
