I continue to beg people to read at least the first chapter of THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO, Marx himself was not “anti-capitalist!”

I Found A Way To Monetize Anime Fans Posting "This Is An Isekai" When They Interact With Any Other Piece Of Media And It Took Me A Week To Become A Billionaire In Another World

[Walks onto twitter] [Looks around] [Temples fingers] [Shouting] "THE BEST ADAPTATION OF HOMER'S ODYSSEY IS MIYAZAKI'S NAUSICAA OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND"

I'm very excited for this upcoming app!

New video: Emulating a 6502...in #Haskell? youtu.be/PH84TNxr5SI Thumbnail painting: "Napoleon Crossing the Alps", by Jaques Louis-David (1801).

OPERA DISCOURSE TIME (CW: 19th century French racial stereotyping) Everyone knows that Bizet's Carmen racially stereotypes and eroticizes Roma women (referred to as "bohémienne" in the libretto, and using the now disfavored word beginning with 'g' in every English translation I've seen.) (1/7)

While my working thesis is "Subq/ Subquadratic isn't real because nobody reliable is vouching for it" my EMOTIONAL thesis is "Subq / Subquadratic is clearly a scam because the company is based in Miami, and it is known that every company based in Miami is a scam."

In all seriousness if the rule was "Act like a dick to anyone for any reason and you catch a ban" and the value of the site would increase by 10000% immediately.

OK, chat: I made this video 5 years ago, when my vibe was much less conversational - is it worth revisiting this and doing a 'remaster' of it? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv9z...

Whoever designed this poster should get a bonus.

I'm coming around to the idea that two things are true: (1) We have lots of examples of super-dumb AI usage, substituting an LLM's judgment for things that should be a human's. (2) A lot of the discourse springs from a complete failure of imagination about what effective AI enables.

The cool thing about coding AIs is that any project idea you had that was too stupid to waste a lot of time on, is now something you can actually build. The bad part is that any project idea you had that was too stupid to waste a lot of time on, is now something you can actually waste time on…

Hearing this argument so much nowadays.

vvvvvv this.

New video: "A Wave of Monads" www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GwE... Thumbnail print: "The Great Wave of Kanagawa", by Hokusai (1831). In problem set 13b we get more practice with monads. I try to consciously explore my mistakes deeply so people can follow along as I get lost and then find my way.

WOULD WATCH n'at.

Regardless of one's position on AI, I think we can all agree that it is driving the male midlife crisis (which used to just be "buy a Porsche and an embarrassing hat") to new heights of cringe. www.semafor.com/article/04/2...

congratulations you just invented the policy with a death toll larger than either of the world wars

In my house, we hand all the guests a chainsaw and have them take off a big branch of the invasive Amur Honeysuckle, it's like shouting down Haman's name during Purim.

Slightly diminish a book The Middle of History

The answer to every question of the form "Why was the Nintendo Entertainment System so weird?" is always, 100% of the time, "Because it was cheaper to do it that way". www.youtube.com/shorts/i9vDa...

Me: I can't really afford the time to go back to Japan this year. Also me: Ramen Murasaki in Kagoshima, let's goooooooooooo

ok if I'm honest THAT is a great burn.

New video: The Illusion Machine - Building the NES PPU youtu.be/hxfDNgV8HwM You will be shocked (I'm sure) to learn that I complain about JavaScript some more. Thumbnail painting: "Un Bar Aux Folies-Bergère" by Édouard Manet (1882)

I wonder if it would blow modern people's minds the extent to which a standard 1980s experience was "Oh, you got a computer? Here's a huge box of pirated software, give it back after you've copied it."

Netanyahu is a murderous piece of shit, but if your reaction to "A non-Israeli jew minding their own business was stabbed in a country that isn't Israel" is "This is somehow a jew's fault", then you're an antisemitic piece of shit.

With the former Prince Charles visiting the US, recall his visit to Pittsburgh 38 years ago. This is a remarkable video by a very young Rick Sebak about when Charles was the keynote speaker for the Remaking Cities conference here. americanarchive.org/catalog/cpb-...

Love this movie so much.

I have identified the precise point at which the timeline diverged to put us in our present Torture Dimension. (hat tip: @retroist.com)

Get you a partner who looks at you the way game developers look at putting a swoopy curvy omniwheel-like conveyance in their game instead of, like, a train.

Proud to announce the 1.0 of my new functional programming language "raakatu" which implements completely different behaviors based on whether you use the constructs "if...then" or "if...than".

Me: I dislike how in Haskell Discourse many people cosplay as mathematicians instead of accepting that they are programmers. Also me: INTERRUPTS THE STREAM to turn on font ligatures in VSCodium, making the video approximately 1723.972% more confusing because IT LOOKS COOL.

CLAUDE: installs a new version of pip and python. ME: omg it’s just like me fr fr

Dear #Pittsburgh people, is it ethically OK to subscribe to the Post-Gazette now? Or do I need to wait until some sale executes?

Put in my autobiography that this was what claudepilled me.

New video: Monads Aren't Magic! We play more with monads, or, as I like to call them when I want to enrage certain people who take things way too seriously, "Sequenceables" Thumbnail image: John William Waterhouse, "The Sorceress" (1911) youtu.be/WEGDc-1n7C0

Going to make a cheese-based parody of the game Blue Prince called Bleu Prince. It's a Roquefortlike.

My hottest management take is that the quickest way to paralyze an organization is to structure it so that top leadership has to make decisions that they, ideally, shouldn’t even be aware of. @beijingpalmer.bsky.social

Proud to announce the pre-seed round for my new startup Cheesr which will be producing an LLM specifically designed to help you cook delicious meals. It will be trained to respond to every query with "Have you considered adding cheese?" and then suggesting three or four different cheeses to add.

I feel like this isomorphic to people who are bored by airplanes, oh it's just lift forces under a surface allowing us to CONQUER THE INFINITE SKY

I hear this in Werner Herzog’s voice.

New video: "Every Cycle a Battle" Today we finish the 6502 CPU as we write an emulator for a console that is DEFINITELY NOT the Nintendo Entertainment System. The thumbnail painting is "The Battle of Grundwald" by Jan Matajko (1878) www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHAq...

All of them.

My hottest movie take is that Failsafe is a better version of what Dr. Strangelove was trying to do. My second hottest movie take is that Peter Sellers makes Dr. Strangelove worse than it would be without him.
