kepler was so cool. within a month of knowing there were mountains and craters on the moon he was talking about what the people who inhabited it would be like, speculating about their culture

for anyone who follows me who didn’t live through the ‘90s knowing who paglia was: she showed up in so many weird corners of pop culture. this kind of thing just … happened, sometimes

My only De Re Metallica solution so far that's not a total mediocrity.

Since the Masaaki Yuasa sketch collection reprint drops today, I feel I should point out the part I have not seen anyone else mention, which is that the ✨English translation✨ is also dropping today (worldwide Jan. 2027) pie.co.jp/book/i/6121/...

I’m not a Stoicism expert but Andreessen cherry picking Aurelius feels apt insofar as it’s always seemed to me one flavor of Stoicism was popular among the Roman ruling class precisely for how it assured them they didn’t need to hold themselves responsible for anything beyond themselves

the job search is becoming dire lol

Hey everyone, I wanted to share an update. I do finally have a little more part time work starting soon, but we were never able to get out from under the extra $5k it cost to get the car back and we're in a pretty dire spot. I'm so sorry to rattle the jar again, but any help is dearly appreciated. ❤️

here I was, a computer vision guy (more or less), listening to a talk by somebody who had spent an entire distinguished career on how to indirectly measure the coefficient of friction between a gripping effector and the object being gripped and was, you know, getting there.

It is almost impossible to overstate how difficult robotics is, as an engineering problem. Every little corner of it is an absolute nightmare of complexity.

Some personal news: My ass is in the jackpot now :(

Having watched Ponyo dozens of times now thanks to the boy being absolutely enamored of her, I do feel confident that the sequence where she busts out is one of the all-time great achievements of animation

In other personal news, I finally came up with a solution to one (1) of the Opus Magnum bonus puzzles. The bonus content has always been way too hard for me but I finally got there.

Opus Magnum is a great game that makes you feel like Salieri from Amadeus. You make your solve, go to reddit and you see the face of god in the maddeningly elegant solves of your betters.

I was ABOUT to post "The Jenny Holzer, Mom account on early twitter was a real gem and it's totally gone" but no, it's still there and it's solid gold.

They just don’t think the rest of the world is real. People they don’t know, people they’ve never met—not real, don’t matter, can never matter. I can’t square it any other way.
