Here’s part 2 of this week’s Better Offline special about why the AI bubble is worse than the dot com bubble. I explain the mythology used to convince the world to run millions of miles of fiber cable - and how different that is to GPUs.

Having ranted about camera-obsessives & the need to have a good eye being more important than the camera, I can only offer one suggestion. Buy a book of 18-19th C Japanese prints & start drawing them [in planes & squiggles]. Japanese art has a magnificent understanding of how the eye works.

I am impressed that Your Party have somehow managed to communicate via national mainstream media the feeling of being in an interminably feuding local political organizers WhatsApp with so many daily notifications that it's impossible to keep track of the feuds

This is actually the fault of the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929, which unconstitutionally capped the size of the House at the 435 seats determined by the 1910 census. We have a legislature based on the year California had 2.3M people. Both chambers have shifted power from people to land.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

It seems pretty clear to me that the wind in the EU is behind the eastern economies at the moment, and that will have ripple effects out into the EU's political landscape that traditionally dominant players may find disorienting.

Linux Mint 22 is out. Downloads will be a bit slow. But there are approved local mirrors, and the ISO file is just less than 3GB. It's an offshoot from Ubuntu and provides LTS ("Long Term Support") — 3years. This guy has a good YouTube video on how to install it.
