the problem with this website is that when people see a funny post, they like it, but then they don’t follow the account. ALWAYS follow the account

What I really fucking love about Hot Fuzz is that it is a rare piece of artwork that unapologetically defends liberal modernity. A representative of the impartial, uniform rule of law & depersonalized state beings justice to a lawless, backward community run by a wretched clique of local grandees.

coding used to feel like a base builder that punishes you for mistakes: removing buildings takes time, or you dont get all your resources back. coding with LLMs feels like factorio, where you can trivially rebuild huge projects at zero cost

it’s extremely weird that *right* before the AI takeoff, we had a round of tech “innovation” that simultaneously 1) spent a trillion dollars building faster GPUs 2) made everyone think tech hype cycles were always bullshit in this essay i will prove that satoshi nakamoto was a time traveler

We grew up in a world where the only ethical way to gather empirical data on cognition was to wait for a guy to have a terrible railroad spike accident. We are just now entering the era of experimental philosophy

Horrors aside, it’s interesting that he’s so incurious that he has zero sources of information outside the viziers. We spend like $100bn/year to make POTUS the most well-informed person on earth, but the current guy has only absorbed slop and lies for years

the future is going to contain a LOT of code that is trusted to basically work, and to the extent that it has non-obvious bugs, they'll be figured out by some future set of eyes am i writing about open source software in 2006 or vibecoded software in 2026?
