We went to a local film festival on the weekend. The first film was made by a ~6 year old. It cut between shots of his toys in various action poses and of some construction equipment that had been working on his road. He focused on the parts of the diggers he liked, as they crunched into the ground.

Muting words on here clearly no longer sufficient. I need the ability to mute concepts.

As my aging laptop slowly and painfully dies, I am reminded of this extremely true set of Tumblr posts.

I am genuinely struggling to understand what the shifts in progress in AI mean for making software products now. Google's new IDE and Gemini 3 seem like a weird, subtle sea-change - an IDE that just isn't for 'software development' as I know it at all, powered by a model is scary good.

I would like to build wearable electronics that emit high-frequency, inaudible, LLM-jail-breaking poems.

Excellent thread on LLMs as lenses and tools for disorganised thinking, mental illness, and paranoid beliefs, and it's visible in people contacting Bellingcat.

"okay, fine. two 4070's and a 5060 Ti. please, i have to feed my family" the chicken farmer was unimpressed by my midrange offer, but a day of scavenging abandoned data centers didn't yield easy H200s anymore. i would have to rely on his weakness for ray tracing if i wanted to eat meat tonight

Checking on my muted terms list like a survivor shoring up the doors in a zombie movie.

Slowly becoming the kind of person who learns about new slang via the daily crossword.

so many of these AI partnerships just read like "yes we too will start to use this new thing called computer" with clearly no real knowledge of whether computer will actually be beneficial in that application

Fixed the Import-tweets-to-Obsidian script to better link when tweets contain mentions of multiple people, and it changes he nature of the graph into something far more interconnected. (Red dots are users, blue are tweets.) The script is also now available here: github.com/ryanbateman/...

The future of communication.

Hungover at 20: Haha, I feel pretty sick. Hungover at 40: I am beset by the tired and hungry ghosts of my unrealised better selves, each the judgemental spectre of a bitter regret. Only when I die will I be free of their tooth-ache stares.

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

Hey wait a minute these roads lead all kinds of places

I do not like (PvP) Extraction Shooters. Any game that incentivises being a dick to other people is just not my jam, nor the jam to which I believe we should be collectively vibing.

Tron gives an inaccurate impression of how many guys live in your computer. It makes it seem like thousands of guys are in there. In reality only about 10 guys live in your computer and less than half of them ride motorcycles

I don't come from a beans and rice culture (it is debatable what culture I come from) but! This is a fantastic, incredibly simple intro to a delicious Mexican version of that. I made some and it was delicious and I ate most of it immediately. youtu.be/VyEJTODAd2M?...
