Calling Katamari Damacy this from now on

I… It defies fucking parody.

I asked chatgpt about how to fix the spam call singularity of 2026, here's what it answered:

Really genius tech idea of the last 15 years to go back to mainframe computing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Ca...

Like what, the little used storage closet under the stairs? The utility room? The attic?

slightly increase a band The Whoms

Chance that most of that speech was generated by AI is 106%

Question for the epidemiologists in the audience, is a “mildly positive” PCR test like being a little bit pregnant or barely even dying?

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

My brain is breaking by vibe bros discovering that Tailwind is shit and it’s better to use external CSS with classes (because it uses “fewer tokens”)

the 20 years old Bond movies have the best gadgets

the ai industry unleashing genai into the public & expecting society (academics, policy makers & cso) to find solutions is like big oil polluting oceans & expecting individuals to clean it up 👇🏾 approaches are important but we need sustainable solution that tackles prob from th root: regulate big AI

😭

I’m sick with a mild fever and have being using this opportunity to rewatch the Brosnan era of Bond movies. My main take-away: the invisible car is way more believable than Denise Richards as nuclear physicist

One of the good applications for "AI" is in amateur astronomy to remove stars from images. Here's Markarian's Chain (a stretch of galaxies that forms part of the Virgo Cluster) before and after, check out how may galaxies are visible in this image! #astrophotography

My first PC had... 256KB of memory (1/4 of a MB). My current computer has, incidentally, exactly 256k times more memory.

the EU 🤝 Die Hard

me: i saw a post calling “ode to joy” “europe’s anthem”— thomas: that’s accurate me: what? thomas: it’s the eu anthem. pretty good values imo me: what. that’s weird, isn’t it? thomas: do you want it to be ode to misanthropy?

Preprinted! Been working on this for ~1 year w wonderful coauthors Nancy & Mark: > Understanding Artificial Neural Networks: Mysterianism about Known Mechanism is Mysticism doi.org/10.5281/zeno... Have you noticed many experts say they don't understand AI? What's going on? 🤯 Let us tell you... 1/

In a way, these dudes feel like the final evolution of a culture that started fetishizing shipping over what was actually being built and coveted more expensive keyboards and desk setups as the trappings of a true master programmer.

As an Austrian, let me say fuck the Eurovision Song Contest. Highly recommend to mute it on here and/or block accounts that post about it. Carry on.

Venn diagram of where AI is used and where AI should not be used

I still regularly encounter people in the industry who don’t see the code slop-apocalypse unfolding before our eyes. Then again, we can’t have a code quality crisis if you never believed in code quality in the first place

This is a terrible, TERRIBLE idea and plays into the false notion that religious people are somehow innately more ethical and moral than non-religious. There are principled ethical people everywhere, regardless of religion. Ditto for corrupt and evil people. www.baltimoresun.com/2026/05/08/a...

thomas has a gopher app on his iphone

thomas, walking into the room: i assume you don’t have a gopher app on your iphone? …

baby is sleepy

Can't spam calls not be down for a day or two instead

Ever seen a cat chase a light pen? #retrocomputing

Daughter's Google AI Overview attached below. I guess in medias res is, in general, a good literature choice, since it bypasses "101002010410101004100234012010100201041010100410023401201010020..." Stories would be pretty boring and weird if they all started that way.

Heads-up if you run Linux servers, another very bad security vulnerability dropped, here‘s Ubuntu’s post on ”Dirty Frag”. Patch asap. ubuntu.com/blog/dirty-f...

Nature is amazing, sometimes it’s impossible to tell scale. This photo I took on my driveway could be either a giant space nebula and thousands of stars or an oil spill.

Unless you have access to the Death Star, you cannot do anything that's "bad for the planet". Bad for life? Sure. The rest of the planet has about 10 billion times* more mass than all life combined. We're are not even a fart as far as the planet is concerned. *if my math works out

the teachers have been saying this for two straight years but its nice to see laid out like this.

Interesting strategy by Bluesky to harass the top posters on the platform while not implementing features users ask for but instead constantly telling us how amazing vibe-coding is What a bunch of assclowns

this is some absolute bullshit, @bsky.app

“It’s good for you when I slap you!”

What is the collective noun for people who work at Google? I propose 'an arrogance of Googlers'. Individually, they're lovely people — the ones I've met, anyway. But put them in a room together with some promo incentives and they become an absolute menace

Papert is probably the least annoying of the OG MIT AI bros

PSA you can get rid of the annoying OpenSSH "post-quantum" cryptography warning by adding: WarnWeakCrypto no-pq-kex to your SSH config (you can do this per host). Important: the best way is to upgrade the server OpenSSH version but that's not always feasible like on servers using LTS Ubuntu etc.
