Do you have any artifacts that allow for intimate systems of personal meaning? Do they give you a specific feeling? They you, my friend, have a computer. The computer is not (just) a device. It is an experience of possibility worthy of dreams. Yes! But what do we do with this? Well…

Scientists managed to extract a high-coverage genome of an extinct woolly rhino from an undigested piece of its flesh found in the stomach of a permafrost-preserved 14kyo wolf pup. 🧪🏺

One of the last woolly rhinos to walk Earth was eaten by a wolf pup — and scientists have now sequenced its genome from the undigested meat
More than 14,000 years ago, a wolf pup ate a piece of woolly rhino. Scientists have analyzed the rhino's DNA to figure out why it went extinct.

If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case. "My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

What tech conferences should propose a talk to in 2026? I want to talk about KCL, code-driven parametric CAD, and a new open-source constraint solver. It's all written in Rust, but it's not very Rust-specific, I think it's got a lot to offer audiences from other programming languages.

As for the power frameworks, everyone thinks we are living in a dystopian sci-fi novel. Truth is we haven’t even got there yet. We are still living in a Don DeLillo novel, where the structures of power, influence, and corruption are rooted in the 1980s. That will change, abruptly.
