setting aside realities of case law, its funny to imagine a world where free speech maximalism makes protecting trade secrets impossible because individual rights to communicate override corporate property law

So after 14 months(?) of work and a lot of frustration barely knowing what i was doing i think i made someting special (!) presenting: a Wine fork for Ableton Live 12 on Linux stable pixel perfect vst support 1st class gnome citizen device hotwire support low latency audio tell ur friends 🥹🥹

Why We Should Start Naming Heatwaves | Weeknotes #445 Listening to the rain arrive out the open window, I decided we should name heatwaves the same way as we do storms....

We should start naming UK heatwaves like we do storms.

Me: I’m just saying, the Nazgûl aren’t good at their job Date: how did you get the accent on there verbally

Words for a Departed Wizard Last month, my friend Gordon White set sail for the Undying Lands. Yesterday was his birthday. I spent it thinking about him, writing this, and remembering him....

A/C discourse, which I will otherwise be avoiding please and thank you, has reminded me of this passage from Norman Malcolm’s memoir of Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein visited Malcom in Ithaca, NY, in the Summer of 1949 (his only visit to the US).

Twitter is reactor 4. Bluesky is Pripyat and in the exclusion zone. It's all the same micro blogging radiation either way.

Chatbots were a sealed technology: the conversational interface was separate from things under the hood Agentic coding feels more like a kit: the model can help you build things that contain other models (or pieces of them) as moving parts Much easier to see how you teach this to empower students.

The Future Arrived in June | Weeknotes #444 I often think that it's best to explain that a climate model simulates a 'possible world' where a set of assumptions are allowed to play out....

here’s one write-up, it’s pretty interesting

LLM's make language situationally alive. Similar to oracles, iching, tarot and symbols. To use my own crazyman terms from puppetry: LLM's are operated symbolic apparatuses. Dialogic media maybe.

It's strange this article on sociological applications of embeddings doesn't mention @peligrietzer.bsky.social work on vibe as computational object. rohanalexander.github.io/notes_on_the...

Taste As Interface Behaviour | Weeknotes #443 It’s an apparatus that observes you observing, then changes its own behaviour based on that observation, which in turn shapes the future view you see though the window....

Someone who knows way more about it than me needs to write a long piece for the LRB or LARB about the relationship between Fighting game locations, background pixel art, influence on UFC and sports in general, life imitating art, theatrical aesthetics, prompting reality, etc.

So, when are we gonna get chat and groupchats in @beeper.com ?

Starting a weirdo group chat. Who wants in

What a guy

Why does every Nintendo Direct sound like this?

Just 11 copies of my most recent zine left in my etsy store thejaymo.etsy.com/uk/listing/4...

I've been in group chats with bots since openclaw released. One group chat in particular the bot is just one of the bros. I often forget it's a robot. It posts memes, makes memes, says hilariously cutting stuff int he replies. Will fact check people, and find links to thinks. It's wild.

A bigger problem is going to be doctors and the NHS being hit by complaints from *patients* using AI tools. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Why do all Apple presentations have "Ms. Rachel but for adults" vibes?

The Backrooms as Permissive IP | Weeknotes #442 The Backrooms movie shows how modern myth, world literacy, and permissive IP can produce culture that Hollywood can only arrive at later....

I have two apps I've vibe coded and side loaded on my phone. Wouldn't ever put them on the app store. I don't see why "fail to capture even a modest audience" is a problem. Apps can have an audience of one in the new paradigm.

Game workshop have so far deftly avoided this trap, as all Warhammer media is created as part of the wider context engine to sell plastic soldiers. 50+ Horus Heresy books made the world more interesting not less for example.

Civilisation can save itself 98 gigawatt-hours of kindness

Cultural Fracking

Ah yes. Whilst all the artists are frothing at the mouth over Ai, let's use it as cover to push through an insane proposal to make style and technique copyrightable blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2...

Every Warhammer fan will have their own story of how John Blanche transformed their game & informed their lives. The man was a giant whose shadow has cloaked the entire hobby, not in grim darkness, but in vibrant, idiosyncratic colour. Rest in peace, Mr Blanche.

If I was a politician using disappearing WhatsApp messages I would simply say that people who don't use disappearing messages are all morons with v.poor cogsec and a bloated archival self which is psychically damaging.
