One less month to experience.

I find that @bert_hubert is spot on in his article (as always). AI/LLMs will be around post-collapse. The tech is useful. The hype and the ethic violations are harmful, but not inherent. But I'd love to call out this quote in particular: "[...] selling to clever people is not a trillion […]

Still good news for our children’s children. But I regret my country’s repudiation of truth and justice. https://social.coop/@judell/115177108017532435

"Investment and production in clean energy last year contributed nearly $2 trillion to China’s economy, a figure which the report said was around one-tenth of the country’s economy as a whole, or comparable to Australia’s entire economy. The clean energy sector grew at a rate three times that of […]

Your periodic reminder that if you don't know who Trofim Lysenko was, today's a good day to find out.

LLMs have taught us that the Turing Test doesn't determine whether machines are intelligent, it actually determines whether humans are credulous.

Nothing quite like the time between a biopsy and the report, even in today's news environment. Cherishing life and kindness and the simple pleasures of everything becomes easy.

Across continents and millennia, what truly unites humanity is our need to be left the fuck alone at home. From “The shortest history of China” by Linda Jaivin.

Even tho without science we couldn't make a freaking pencil and would mostly die so young and so sickly and so ignorant of how this marvelous creation works. But by all means lets worship money and die ignorant and lonely. "My number in the database was approximately 2^32 " "but what was it […]

Not so far apart as far as extra accommodation and helpers needed.

This picture of offline map size explains something deeply true about these cities: (Chennai is busier than Bengaluru but only because in Bengaluru most people have stopped going more than a few kilometers if possible). Traffic in Chennai is getting better […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Just landed at Chennai airport and I am realizing I forgot just how intense Chennai is. So much activity, so many people. I have to crank up my energy flow and attentiveness. I love it.

@elysegrasso finished Vol 2! (Broken Oaths and Boundaries of of Elderkin Chronicles). Quite enjoyable, possibly more even than vol 1 (Heir of the Bindings), perhaps due to understanding more of the milleau already. Really enjoyed the precision of the sentences and the magic system, tho magic […]

@elysegrasso Hey Broken Oaths and Boundaries (vol 2 of Elderkon Chronicles) just showed up on my reader app! Possibly you do less marketing type posts than typical authors. I at least wouldn't mind a bit more :) anyways looking forward to the feast. #bookstodon

MOVE was, without doubt, guilty of being annoying. They had occasional confrontations with police. There were unsanitary conditions. Their neighbors complained about them. But the response was a case study in wildly disproportionate overreaction that should never be forgotten as a cautionary […]

Very happy day in masters degree research - may have proven a non-trivial bound for Fourier dimension for some of the sets we are trying to establish as Salem sets. Still a ways from that goal but current approach (involving the differentiating quadratic equation weirdly enough) has lots of […]

People need dignity, artist Kushlani Jayasinha

Got a segv from emacs, maybe for the first time ever except on flakey NFS mounts? #emacs

My mood is not unlike this painting by my wife (Credit: Kushlani Jayasinha).

Albert Speer, Hitler’s architect and later Reich minister, said during the Nuremberg Trials: "It was not necessary to accuse someone of a specific crime. It was enough that he belonged to a group." This is exactly what the Trump administration is attempting in the United States right now.

And what we all need to mentally prepare ourselves to do when we have the chance to act, to spread the blanket of safety to more of God's children, our siblings. https://mstdn.social/@Remittancegirl/114346176808180092

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." —FDR, 1937

This is bad. People who work for these libraries are freaking out. What’s the word on the best way to respond to this for the general public? https://www.npr.org/2025/03/31/nx-s1-5334415/doge-institute-of-museum-and-library-services

Trump has done the same damage to our health, environment and security as to our markets, it's just that there isn't a stock ticker that measures the impact so clearly

@elysegrasso I finished Heir of the Bindings, very enjoyable read, thanks very much. Enjoyable world building and I really like the main character and his family. I will pre-order the next one as soon as you post that it is available for pre-order.

Don’t ever tell me pressure doesn’t matter. “Target suffers eighth week of foot-traffic losses since caving on DEI Costco, which resisted demands to end DEI, extends its streak of foot-traffic gains to 13.” […]

In this as in many things, if the rulers were at all capable, humanity would be locked in feudalism for ever. But they can’t raise their kids, they can’t learn science, and they can’t understand the true nature of humanity or society. So a little hint of a lightening of the curse of history here […]
