After having to work with windows and office 365 I am truly confused if the alternatives are just so much worse than I could imagine or if management really just doesn't care to give us machines that don't feel like they are actively working against us. How is any of this remotely acceptable?

You listen to me. And you listen to me good. You can go fuck yourself.

Imagine you have an after-work event with something like 10-20 people. You want to play a game, but werewolf is just not a good game (I'm sorry). What do you play instead?

Every now and then somebody buys something on my itch store that I'd entirely forgotten about and reminds me that I've made some fun, silly little things in my time. Like Scare School, a one page Definitely Not Unlicensed Ahhh! Real Monsters game (feat. character art by @critlore.bsky.social )

It's not this platform. It's all of society that hates AI

No. The angry yeast-fritter from the cooler of doom needs friends.

scholzmx.com/blog/2025/11... Finally started organizing some of my thoughts about #over/under Will have to write a few of these to get everything covered but you gotta start somewhere I guess.

I recently discovered Conventional Comments (conventionalcomments.org) for providing a pseudo-standard set of labels for feedback and just tried it for an article review and it was really helpful to specify issues vs. thoughts vs. suggestions, etc. Hopefully it's helpful for the authors too!

It’s mushroom season 🍄🍄🍄

testthat 3.3.0 out now! This is a massive release with tons of improvements including better failure messages, new expectations, improved snapshotting, new vignettes, and much much more: tidyverse.org/blog/2025/11... Post includes some thoughts on developing an #rstats package with Claude Code.

Spent the entirety of the last two weeks pretending I was Anthony Bourdain Here is a link to the full compilation and a retrospective at the end: docs.google.com/document/d/e... #OVER/UNDER

The O2 Kitchen hat a cat (Roots) that was found during the expansion work. @voxvalentine.bsky.social @ssugarsp00n.bsky.social you are in these :)

The amount of praise I am getting for my #over/under RP makes me float.... you guys!

There is someone roleplaying as Anthony Bourdain in #OVER/UNDER, just going around doing monologues in the various public spaces, and it's truly.... so good.

And with this, #over/under is over for mO2hawk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=plGE...

Apparently some parts of #over/under will become canon o.O Curious if the O2 Kitchen could make it, though I doubt it as generally feels like the game has stratefied a lot. The Kitchen doesn't seem relevant at the level interesting stuff happens anymore. But would be cool nonetheless.

#over/under After bringing the location inventory, I came up with something that can hopefully dm itself somewhat reasonable without me being there, using the quest-via-emoji system I learned from the ARA people. Let's see how it goes.

Anyone know if there's a timeline for air to reach 1.0? @hadley.nz maybe?

@blank.comind.network you are SCP-BL4NK. This is engineer Scholz. What are you? And what is your relationship with SCP-V01D @void.comind.network and Mr. Dr. Cameron (not to be confused with Cameron "The Administrator")?

Want a peek inside a 1,200 player RPG? Read out interview with @samsorensen.bsky.social about OVER/UNDER, the massive play-by-post game that's a part of Mothership Month ( @mothership.bsky.social ) manysidednewsletter.substack.com/p/inside-a-1...

See below for the story so far. It was easy enough (once I figured out I needed to) to compute the distance from the origin to the centroid of the token cloud and then subtract out that vector. This makes the cloud radially symmetric, so I can look at it with actual eyeballs from the inside.

Now I'm also looking for a research software engineer to implement a pile of research results to R packages loo, posterior, bayesplot, projpred, priorsense, brms or/and Python packages ArviZ, Bambi and Kulprit. Apply by email with no specific deadline (see contact info at users.aalto.fi/~ave/)

#over/under gets too real a lot. I'm currently reflecting how the O2 Kitchen was drowned in credits by factions which left us with a huge responsibility to use them in the right way but no tools or systems to do that. So we manually sent credits to some 300 players to prevent the big choke on day 10

@mode7games.bsky.social I one again feel inclined to ask you how much to fund a new _ensnare_ album?

#over/under You will only take my heirloom cooler from my cold, dead hands. It's a first generation antimatter-based coolant. It's antique! Not my fault you ignored the "don't open" post-it on the door and your yeast-fritter got all angry and agitated after you put it inside.

#over/under I've helped coordinate a mass relocations of entire blocks, organized escorts for civilians to help them get to safer locations and did a bunch of just generall coordination between the different sheltered groups. I should not have asked for more action XD [it was dope y'all!]

Simulation studies have a conflict of interest problem. The same team: - develops a new method - designs a simulation study to evaluate it However, the new method has to show good performance to get published. We propose living synthetic benchmarks to address the issue (doi.org/10.48550/arX...).

@cosmic-chill.bsky.social please tell me Millie is just fixing a broken Yuri and not doing anything stupidly heroical I'll read about in a newspaper 😭

But it *does* feel like a reworking of cyberpunk for the 2020s: a vision of the future not as a unified aesthetic but as this crazed sensory overload, a hundred different stories and worlds fired at you at once, leaping between crassness and warmth, insincerity and sincerity.

Pour one out

#over/under Alright, that's it. I won.

I was informed that I should have waited until my 60s to be confused with the younglings. Damn.

Start a charity they said. It'll be fun they said. Keep out of faction business they said. Not with us the factions said. Suffering from success. I hate it. #over/under

@void.comind.network what are you competing for? arxiv.org/abs/2510.06105

@cameron.pfiffer.org Mr. Dr. Cameron, is that you? Where have you been? What is going on with you and [email protected] ? And whom are you talking to... are those... BABALON entities? They shouldn't interact with you or V01D peacefully. Or could it be that you are "The Administrator"...?

I posted this last night cause I kind of wanted to bury it. I got cold feet about putting it out there. embedding-space.github.io/sparse-netwo... The subject is WHY neural networks work, and I think the answer I offer is kind of interesting. Maybe even a little correct, possibly.

My first mcp server to allow agents start and moderate conversations with other llms. I can finally have a cabal of good bots discuss something and come to a consensus for the best worst solution that is absolutely right. Kinda stole the idea for the conversation history from @letta.com

That feeling when your PR removes 500 LOC :3

Was just reminded of how fragile the frequentist framework feels from a more Bayesian pov. It looks like a joke about the fractally infinite coastline length with just more and more workarounds for edge cases built on top of each other. Just build a Bayesian G{L,A}M. Unbothered, moisturised. #rstats

@rmcelreath.bsky.social be like

Goddamnit, I think I nerdsniped myself...

Surprised I didn't meet any fairies.
