“can this research affect physical reality” “ultimately, yes, because even things that aren’t words can be manipulated to exercise power over the material world“ “ok but it’s just words” “every word is subtly infused with connections, politics, ideology” - grad seminar 2010, or boardroom 2025

2010 me: what is the future like 2025 me: dystopian but also they used Bayesianism to implement Internet Foucault

OK so I think I'm set for the next bout of #fbl #fantasybundesliga for #VfB Cummerbund. Had to stick to Ísak for a budget midfielder, him being the only compatriot in the league an whatnot.

Had someone explain this phenomena as how knowledge expands outwards as a circle, it eventually becomes a donut. You forget how you acquired the basics that were foundational to your greater experience and they fade into the background.

Krakkarnir verða að lesa Laxness! Annað væri bara einhver menningar-marxismi!

"The shadow that bred them can only mock, it cannot make: not real new things of its own..." If in doubt, turn to Tolkien for wisdom.

Williams calling AI the human centipede of content is what I needed to hear today.

i think it’s actually completely okay to say an algorithm is not a real person

"Death watched them walk away." (Var að klára annan lestur á Small Gods eftir Terry Pratchett. Mæli með)

Strákurinn kvartaði eitthvað yfir að þurfa að læra einingarhringinn utanað og ég sagði honum að það væri ekkert mál, hann væri kringlóttur með radíus einn. Svo lætur fólk einsog þetta verkfræðinám sé eitthvað erfitt

Tveir af 40 eilìfðargluggum í símavafranum mínum eru bara Google leitarsíður með promptunum "can my dog eat […]" og "grapefruit interaction with […]"

Í alvöru. Syngið vögguvísur fyrir hundana ykkar. Þetta er mjög ofarlega á listanum yfir mikilvægar uppgötvanir sem ég hef gert um ævina.

Býkúpa er, í mjög bókstaflegum skilningi, lífvera. Maurabú er lífvera.

Told the guy behind the counter that I thought it was hilarious they made a pie named for the old DC Mayor. He had no idea what I was talking about. Anyway, today I learned there's a fruit called marionberry.

ÁRÓÐURSMEISTARINN Á boðskap sem var býsna fagur hann byggði ræðu stranga: Að einstaklings og heildar hagur skal hvort fyrir öðru ganga. (Piet Hein, í þýðingu Helga Hálfdanarsonar)

Báðar myndirnar af honum geta verið jafnsannar – það er engin mótsögn í því að vera hvorttveggja í einu. Enginn er einn heldur margur. Eftir sem áður stendur sú staðreynd að hann var rasisti sem predikaði fyrirlitlega sannfæringu sína um yfirburði hvíta kynstofnsins.

Not knowing everything doesn't mean you don't care, but - tragically, awfully, desperately - the US in crisis is the ultimate content firehose and it just *is not possible* to take care of your own mental resilience while engaging with that from afar. It is too much.

There's no good to be had in being exhausted and burnt out - you can't march on a proverbial empty stomach. And I don't mean that in a patronising way, just that this is a long old haul and it's not going to end soon.
