if i had to see this today, so do you

From a story about a new species of pseudoscorpion, this sort of highlighted the management of Australia in a nutshell au.news.yahoo.com/incredible-p...

For "reasons" I am playing around with DVD video streams, and today I learned that DVD subtitles are bitmaps, not text rendered by the player. My copy of Terminator 2 Extreme Edition has this interesting subtitle track that gives details on the VFX, including some illustrations.

One of my strongest beliefs is if they actually put this on Broadway it would absolutely destroy at the award shows and run for 20 years

There’s something weirdly cyberpunk about me liking a William Gibson laundry cat post. (@greatdismal.bsky.social)

Worth a watch: Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Gopls v0.19.0 is released! $ go install golang.org/x/tools/[email protected] Release notes: github.com/golang/tools...

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans

This whole thing is amazing but I was not prepared for the reveal that Atrus was wearing a Hard Rock Cafe shirt the entire time

Three Trail of Bits engineers audited core Go cryptography for a month and found only one low-sev security issue... in unsupported Go+BoringCrypto! 🍾 Years of efforts on testing, limiting complexity, safe APIs, and readability have paid off! ✨ Yes I am taking a victory lap. No I am not sorry. 🏆

I downloaded an LLM model and ran it locally on my laptop, asked it questions about people and things and it gave some true answers (and many made up ones). The model is 5GB which is much smaller than gzipped Wikipedia. A visceral “llm is just a lossy compression scheme” moment.

aphids have tormented my poor zucchini plant but it is rising above the haters to proudly hang dong 🌱

it's incredible that the generation who told us "don't trust anything you read on the internet" went through a decade of being scammed for itunes gift cards and STILL scrolls facebook so they can comment "Amen" on ai slop images of a soldier with three legs

you will never look back on art you've made as time wasted

out of the $143.88 that you pay spotify in a year for Spotify Premium, artists receive less than $1. buy music from bandcamp, or buy used LPs/CDs, listen on youtube with adblockers, or pirate it, just don't give any more of your money to billionaires

Finally got Completionist+ in Balatro. Fuck black deck, man. 😂

Side point: this demonstrates the benefits of plain text file formats. When @robpike.io implemented the coverage tool he made it emit a simple line-based text file that Russ could then manipulate with the ubiquitous Unix tools.

Funny story about music #piracy. I used to upload my albums in lossless to now-defunct music torrent trackers. I lost the streaming version of 'Louisiana Mourning' and streaming services don't allow you to download your own submissions. Rutracker has my original torrent from 2009 w/ my notes. 🙌🏻

cal _is_ cute! 🙂

I like to remind myself this video exists from time to time www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB1s...

one of the funniest Generative AI claims is that it's "for people who can't draw." the one thing that people seeking to take me down a peg have said for the past 25 years is that i can't draw. i do it anyway and it's fun and it's fine. to refuse to doodle is to abdicate your own humanity

LLM thought: LLMs “learn” by building a probability matrix of next most likely words. How many times have you learned something crucial because the next word that came out of someone’s mouth was exactly the opposite of what you thought it would be?

I just released go-boot v0.1! A TamaGo unikernel implementing a UEFI Shell and OS loader allowing secure, powerful, yet easy UEFI API interaction. 100% unencumbered Go in your pre-boot environment. github.com/usbarmory/go...

since i started publishing my first comic online in 2002 people have asked me here and there where i get my ideas for them. i never told anyone the real answer because they wouldn't like it, but the real answer is meditation. you have to turn off all your shit and look within. annoying but true

Look at me I'm a real dev now I have an ugly blog Here's my first post about solitaire localthunk.com/blog/solitaire

movie you've watched more than six times, gifs only

unleashing social media on the world at large was like inflicting smallpox on immunologically naive peoples. Only psyches scarred over by endless stupid flamewars on usenet or IRC were truly ready for it

If you see this, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery if you have one.

For the most part I love teaching and answering questions about painting. That said, there's too much hesitation from budding artists to just try things out and see what works. Practice. Trial and error. These are the keys to getting better at anything.

Hey guys meta announced a new policy where they send a killer to get you so be sure to go to settings>my account > killer> disable killer to turn that off

The people who think they are good at everything because they are good at coding are also bad at coding.

When coaching junior programmers I would often suggest this: Got a problem? Not sure the right direction? Try anything at all! Worst case is you'll learn something, best case is you make something good. Also: it's practice, so you get faster at trying new things, so you get faster at everything.

RIP David Lynch. One of the greatest artists, beloved by all he worked with. his passing leaves a void that none can fill. Years ago I came across this intimate video of him working on Mulholland Drive. If you’re a Lynch fan like me you will be captivated. youtu.be/7pF38KRzqpE

This is a beautiful tribute.

Naomi Watts put up her tribute to Lynch, and man, you just tell everyone in his life thought the world of him

My first thought upon hearing the news of David Lynch's passing was "I was literally just talking about him". Then I realized that very few days have passed where I didn't talk about him. The man is a legend who, above all things, proved that you can do whatever the fuck you want in art and media.

"Virtue signaling": a phrase invented by those who've smashed their own moral compasses and are pissed off that others' can still find north.

Some rough notes on how I program with LLMs and on how tooling can make it better. crawshaw.io/blog/program...

We talk about nostalgia like it’s harmless, but is it? I wrote some thoughts about gaming, memory, and the cost of looking back. #blog #gaming #retro

The most damning thing about this whole GenAI business is that no LLM has ever produced an enduring meme. Access to all that source material but not a spark of inspiration to be seen.
