Read @eudoxia.bsky.social (after having the post open in my tabs for a month) I appreciate the specific brain situations and how they've described the solutions that worked for them. Doesn't feel prescriptive which made me feel in supportive territory. borretti.me/article/note...

At times I consider abandoning every comms platform that doesn't have an API and client freedom. This would leave: email, IRC, bsky, Matrix?

Good morning. Today is another day.

GitHub Actions is like gambling but if the dopamine hit didn't exist

Good morning ☀️

I regret to report that I have become an air quality guy.

It really is a little bit incredible just how far-seeing a paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" (Turing, 1950) was. I know this isn't news really but like, you spend so much time in the secondary literature you kind of forget the glimmer of the seminal works.

Many are saying this.

Good morning

fun idea for bored posthumans of the far future: cut down the free-space radiation dose from galactic cosmic rays in the Local Group to 'harmless to biolife' levels by encapsulating all local magnetars and active black holes and systematically siphoning mass off giant stars to prevent supernovae

Julia! Julia though not the dynamic high performance programming language! Julia whose prose had captured cluster interest naught but last week! Topical Julia! Julia whose breast is also a cannibal dynamo maybe, the details aren't so fresh in mind but feels broadly apt!

Kind of delightfully, the old 2002 website of the old NASA Institute for Advanced Concepts group working on this has as content dividers little elevator ribbons with a construction climber on them. Very web 1.0.

This has to be the goal post moving of the century. Claude Code developed, trained, and deployed a classifier. A task that used to require an ML PhD ($1M/yr at Google, in the good old days) + a full stack team, and it would yield the same quality. The world has changed, and people can't accept it.

To put a finer point on this: every large scale tech company is saying on its earnings calls that they are supply-constrained on delivering AI products. They may eventually overshoot on capex. But they have not yet done so.
