A two-page campaign ad from 1991 for TSR's post-apocalyptic Dark Sun RPG setting In the ruined world of Dark Sun, the reckless use of magic has laid waste to all, turning its once lush forests and oceans into desert where cities ruled by cruel, and immortal, sorcerer-kings are all that is left.

I remember when doctors were like this about getting health information from the Internet. More than one doctor sternly warned us that it was dangerous. One time there was actually a printout on the table in the waiting room that was all like "Don't get health information from the Internet!".

I had strong priors against LLMs for medicine. There are a lot of doctors in my family and I grew up viewing doctors as careful, skilled professionals. I had plenty of bad medical experiences, but I thought it would be hard to do better. Then an LLM found a cure for my 2 decade chronic condition...

The only two Jethro Tull albums I like are "Aqualung" and "Thick as a Brick", but I like those two a lot. On the other hand, I like all Rush albums ever. I almost feel *compelled* to like Rush albums. Like *not* liking them would be a betrayal.

Nuclear opinion: I don’t care if you use AI to write code,¹ but making a human review a change before an LLM is disrespectful. Why am I catching your bugs if a computer could have done it? It’s like asking to review code that doesn’t compile or pass CI. ¹ As long as you do it responsibly.

“Does anyone still use Emacs?”

The belief that everything is getting worse and that everyone around you has stopped caring about all the values that they used to uphold is not only wrong, it's actively detrimental to your mental health. To keep going, we have to believe that together we can live in a society. We just have to.

Happy to see Zcash viewing keys finally get a would-be user, after a decade of being underutilized and undersupported. (My fault as much as anyone's.) Of course, the new would-be user is disappointed to find out the current state of support. 😬

A lot of sci-fi is about the birth of AI. What sci-fi is about long-standing, widespread AI? Ian M. Banks's Culture series, John C. Wright's The Golden Age trilogy, probably some Greg Egan novels… Is that it? There's gotta be more.

Balancing accountability with privacy is a challenging problem in system design. @Phreeli's whitepaper explores an architecture intended to support continuity and accountability without creating identifiers that can be used to track people across interactions.

This economist saw Fable as something new and qualitatively better, and has stopped his research while waiting to get access to Fable.

I'm excited about Iroh 1.0! What's really exciting about it is an innovation that sounds simple—maybe even dumb!—but I think can have profoundly positive consequences over the next decade: you dial a public key instead of an IP address.

Today I learned that Twitter/X will hide replies so I can't see them (but other people still can), based on its inscrutable AI reasons, and give me *no* indication in the UI that they were hidden nor any way for me to see them. Here's Grok when I asked it about this behavior.

It is a good time for moonshots. AI has reached a level where there are transformative projects that could result in huge social good, but require public R&D, consensus & transparency to pull off. Examples of such projects: universal tutors, co-scientist/replication systems, and remote medical help

dang it is complicated to build an efficient, lockless, quarantined linked list using compare-and-swap and it would be easy using load-linked/store-conditional. Weren't there some science papers decades ago proving those two are equivalent? Well if so I'm calling bullshit.

It makes me really happy to think of all the people who went into aerospace, not because they saw it as a path to wealth but as a way to do something that needed doing, also ending up with a financial windfall. They deserve the win.
