    Maybe, if we just tried, we might know what it feels like, what it would be like. But we didn’t. So we just keep on guessing, wondering about the what ifs. Read more

  • Meet TARS, my AI assistant

    I used to start my days with our Google Nest Mini. Hey Google, news today. Hey Google, feels like temperature today. Hey Google, what’s the weather today?

  • It’s getting hot in here

    When I visited the digital public square (in my case, Facebook) in the last couple of weeks, I kept seeing posts about heat index infographics and people complaining about how hot the days were turning. The heat index is the “feels-like” temperature, telling us how the combination of heat and humidity makes things hotter than the actual Read more
