One thing I love about our ingroup is that when ingroup members appear to follow high-status norms, it’s because they sincerely love assiduously following those norms, and NOT because they are concealing their violations in order to avoid loss of status.

"oh yeah well would a depressed person do THIS?" etc.

slice em up

well anyway

I like kei trucks #markerart #drawing #keitrucks #sketchbook #vehicleart

keep saying "skinner box" when I mean "cornell box"

I love when the literary works are in bloom built with threejs / webgpu

history's chockablock with counterintuitive discoveries but I gotta say that it turning out that getting a computer to understand human language grammar requires you to stop trying to represent human language grammar at all is a fucking doozy

you need the gold chocobo to find the ultra rare conehead cactuar

was just about to claim that there's a third hard problem of computer science, which is that we've long since run out of synonyms for "thing" and "type of thing" before realizing that's just the second hard problem restated

It Happened To Me: UI focus was in wrong text field when I pressed ENTER

in school I was about half as smart as I thought I was AND half as smart as I wanted to be—and given the way those fractions multiply out you can see why "reach/grasp mismatch" is my go-to bio

What’s a good monologue to memorize

Man Toy Story 3 really is an unimpeachable masterpiece huh

The summer Toy Story (the first one) came out, I happened by total coincidence to be taking the only summer class I ever took in college: A CS class called “Intro to Computer Animation.”

There's something deeply moving about Japanese poetry

super cool find, thread has da details

"is this supposed to be funny?" no. it's really serious.

Misato runs afoul of Ritsuko. Storyboards and final.

Just saw an example of this so stark that I can hardly believe it was real

Just noticed that Zanzibar Superbounce is a double dactyl

Against all odds and better judgment, I have assembled a split-single of two completely unrelated tracks from entirely different genres for #BandcampFriday! TWO OF THEM "EP" A: Seven Guilty Sighs - an elaborate grunge ballad B: Zanzibar Superbounce - a straightforward trance instrumental

Red Faction: Guerilla isn't just a game with an impressive destruction mechanic or a rifle that makes you say, "Wow, cool gun!" It's Volition at its most explicitly pro-worker and anti-capitalist, reacting to a financial crisis with a still-resonant tale of a violent and necessary worker uprising.

ちょっとらくがき

HONDA ZOOK 1990

Mine holds his index finger up in a manner I can only describe as “Aristotelian” while saying e.g. “No you were supposed give me ice cream because I really like it!”

Been listening to Hadestown again. Holy fuck what a show that was. My god.

Anthropic donating to the Blender development fund does nothing but help Blender and signal Anthropic's good taste. Anyone who feels betrayed by this can go log in to projects.blender.org/blender/blen..., click the "fork" button, and make a version whose future they can personally control, forever.

ME: your name is pretty unusual considering where you're Of LAWRENCE OF ARABIA: yeah,

holy shit

I’ll say this for my son……hes genki as shit

NHK World just released a fascinating documentary about the 50 year history of Comiket. Definitely give it a watch before it is taken down on May 3rd. www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/... My favorite part has to be the moment where they show a guy selling doujinshi about baseball umpires. Love that guy.

you there, boy! What year is it??? The year of Linux on the desktop??? Then I haven't missed it!! The spirits did it all in one night!!!

(btw *I* don’t work hard anymore because my ability to work hard on translation appears to have permanently broken, to ruinous effect on my career)

I’ve been sketching out a silly little “translator simulator” game but I’m having trouble adding plausible gameplay choices because every translator I know just works as hard as they can, forever

I’ve been useless for so long I have trouble imagining being anything else and it’s starting to uhhhh ruin me

Staring into middle distance as I realize that nobody (including me) knows what kind of work is worth paying for anymore

Whenever a new thing comes out it’s fun to guess what compressed title Japanese people will use for it online. Project Hail Mary ended up being プロヘメ

[at a job interview] so yeah I guess my greatest weakness would be the grasping unlovely etiolated ghoul of my envy, whose hunger for any good thing enjoyed by another will never be sated, not even should its gluttony be met by the most grandiosely unwarranted blessings

you would be wise to heed my penultimatum. this is my almost-final offer, take it or leave it or wait for the next one.

Happy 20th anniversary to Okami! Here's a short thread with resources on the game's English translation, starting with this old 1UP interview with the localization producer (may take a few tries to load): web.archive.org/web/20110629... (thread: 1/3)

forgot about the very serious linkedin post I wrote about Textubes www.linkedin.com/posts/paul-s...
