you might notice this explains every major political personality of the last decade, including the ones who have no personality and which accreted institutions around them to reify their haters

Ladies and gentlemen… the eschaton

OpenAI employees are very excited about how well their new AI tool can create fake videos of people doing crimes and have definitely thought through all the implications of this

New in @pnas.org: doi.org/10.1073/pnas... We study how humans explore a 61-state environment with a stochastic region that mimics a “noisy-TV.” Results: Participants keep exploring the stochastic part even when it’s unhelpful, and novelty-seeking best explains this behavior. #cogsci #neuroskyence

adopted some very young cats. they are absolute terrors. never sleeping longer than 2 hours again i think

Does the Rocky Hill camera site need to have a new nickname? Maybe "Golden Eagle's Roost?" This camera is the best on the network to consistently spot these impressive birds of prey.

I don’t think people were quite ready for the fact that although fascism happens extremely quickly, it doesn’t just ANNOUNCE itself by marching loudly through the streets in the uniforms of past fascist governments. It isn’t subtle, but a) for MOST people, life goes on, more or less normally. They..

If I was a betting man, the next pieces on the board would be: Nvidia (chips), Microsoft (platform + cloud), and Stripe/PayPal (payments). That’s the fastest path to sealing the remaining TAM gaps.

They arrived. oh no. OH NO.

The absolutely wild thing about getting into Ultraman is roughly once every 20 minutes seeing something insane that makes you realize “oh, this is where [some other formative scene or costume in other media] came from”

It’s autumn

Non-music. Music about music, with music held in abeyance. Sound. Sound on the cusp of music. Musical sounds. Musical events and processes, yet not yet music. These relationships are real in improvisational settings. Music, as a music. theopenspace.bandcamp.com/album/open-s...

arXiv pre-print for the IEEE I2S paper is up. If you've ever wondered how Wavetable Synthesis might be deployed on-device for soil moisture monitoring in water scarcity contexts, well, now we know: arxiv.org/abs/2509.19097
