Your codebase has gaps that only exist because the right people know to step over them. AI doesn't know where to step. baweaver.com/writing/2026...

In honor of Colbert's last show due to fascism, here is my all-time favorite thing he's done, and not just because the scene is stolen by my cousin Dave Razowsky. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRW0...

kagi really is that good y’all. big stress reliever to have a proper search engine again. (i don’t take compensation for posts as a rule, this is just me wanting them to have a solid subscriber base so they can offer the service long-term)

Yup, switched about a year ago and I haven’t looked back

If you think that AI is useless, all it does it lie, or that it's a scam: please read this article from Firefox who just fixed more bugs in a month than they did in all of 2025 thanks to Mythos and Project Glasswing AI is not going anywhere and it's going to get MUCH worse So what do we do? 1/

There aren't a lot of things I agree with Mark Carney about, but there's one area where he and I are in *total* accord: the old, US-dominated, "rules-based international order" was total bullshit: www.weforum.org/stories/2026... 1/

"People deserve to buy a home at a price they can afford, a price that will somehow also cover my entire initial investment, three decades' worth of repairs and home improvements, allow me to purchase a new condo, and fund the next two decades of my retirement. It's that simple." buff.ly/eb04d9q

Oh this is great: there’s now an #Artemis II Lunar Flyby Gallery on the NASA images site: www.nasa.gov/gallery/luna... (thx @dpmanchee.bsky.social for pointing it out)

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! CURLING BEEF! (I never post Olympic videos bc the IOC will hunt you down but I am taking that risk so that you can hear the Canadian curling cursing)

You are not prepared for the sound in this video. I sure wasn’t, anyway

Whoa! Mind blown: the s/ORIG/NEW/ syntax predates Unix:

Melting Ice Caps Expose Hundreds Of Secret Arctic Lairs https://theonion.com/melting-ice-caps-expose-hundreds-of-secret-arctic-lairs-1819571016/

Oh man. I've been trying to write something kinda sorta like this (not quite, but close). But, yeah, this is worth reading.

I was recently reminded of this. A couple decades ago, I wrote a short paper that described how the basic approaches of cryptography and computer security lead to an efficient and practical privilege escalation attack against master-keyed mechanical lock, which I published in IEEE Security and […]

Stunning new revelation: Epstein hung out almost exclusively with guys who had black boxes where their heads should be.

This is a pretty interesting piece. Love or hate the idea of mixing federal pardons with state crimes, you need to read this.

This is incredible.

"You mutter 'What fresh hell is this?' every ten minutes."

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

new euphemism for "fact" dropped, today's is "scientific orthodoxy"

"It’s impossible to say when IT will HAPPEN. But it can’t be too long until IT HAPPENS. Looking at the data, it is statistically plausible that IT will HAPPEN in the next thirty-six months. Eighteen, if you factor in hamburger consumption and all the weird bruising."

When it comes to writing, LLMs have won - lcamtuf.coredump.cx/blog/llm-win/

here for the deep cut

I use LLMs for work ~everyday and I have basically stopped reading anything it writes that isn’t the code I asked it to write, I’ve grown so tired of the groveling sycophancy. It doesn’t actually feel bad, it shouldn’t tell me it feels bad (or that I’m “absolutely right!” about absolutely anything)

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

In honor of Jimmy Kimmel get suspended in part for saying "And by ‘statistical fact’, [Vance] means ‘complete bullshit’,” in response to Vance's false claim that most political violence is from the left, here's the DOJ report showing the opposite, that the DOJ conveniently just memory-holed:

I made the mistake of devoting myself to AI4SG early in my career because I wanted to believe I could use my skills to make the world a better place. Instead, I found exactly what Dr. Birhane describes - particularly with respect to accountability laundering. I'll share one example🧵

I'm pleased to introduce a full set of Congressional *and* legislative report cards, courtesy of the Princeton Gerrymandering Project. An enormous amount of work, the culmination of several years of development. Check it out! samwang.substack.com/p/redistrict...

It's easy to forget because they've been incrementally improving for so long, but browser dev tools are very good now. If I wanted to teach someone how the web platform worked I probably just tell them to press F12 and start exploring

Found out today that by using millisecond pulsars as your reference points, you can determine your position in the galaxy down to 7km or less, which is frankly a ridiculous degree of accuracy on the cosmic scale #PSETI2025

1. You may have noticed something. I used to talk about the president’s dementia pretty regularly, but haven’t in months. That’s because I’ve lost faith. I used to believe the Washington press corps would see the plainly obvious. I no longer believe that. The hypocrisy is too baked in.

This video from Fairmount Bagels in Montreal from their Instagram is the most impressive thing I've ever seen

AI video is almost there: no amount of post-hoc squinting can tell fake from real. Losing our last bastion of verification is no joke. Trusted news can help with high-profile events, but what about everyday life? Recipe for chaos. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/11/o...

I had always hoped that a desire to live peacefully with each other - to laugh, to love, to learn, to grow as a race - that these would be the unifying factors that might eventually bring mankind together. However, if in the end, it must be a shared, universal hatred of Andrew Cuomo, so be it.
