i think about this paper all the time now. there's an argument to be made in terms of Burdan's Ass about the inherent inability to guarantee stuff like perfect crash safety, etc

the whole discussion about ads being AI or not is kinda funny to me. it's like arguing about eating Sawdust vs eating Organic Sawdust

Americans are fundamentally taught that The Car is a kind of force multiplier for their very being. for a king, it is a kingdom away from home, it is an assault vehicle. it's autonomy. and that is precisely why it must be ripped from the hands of the masses. now get in the Waymo, Shinji

nah bud if you think that pull quote conveyed any meaning whatsoever, you clearly don't really know how electricity works bullshit is still bullshit even if it agrees with you

i saw a post here today that claimed a single chatgpt query cost "300 watts". i'm sorry to say that if you don't know how computers work you should just stick to "genai is bad" and figure out another angle

I have subjected Santa to my geas. He shall please me or perish in torment.

the talent density at austin systems is actually insane. that’s why you 🫵 should come by and give a talk and hang out sometime

im out and about eating dinner and the packers/bears game ended and one of the guys in the group next to me started talking about playing runescape and smoking crack

tbh the answer here is we should get rid of fork and save ourselves a lot of trouble regarding things like memory commitment ariadne.space/2025/12/16/v...

this might inconvenience some people and i'm sorry in advance but based on my experiences today i've decided to destroy every car on earth

Mickey Mouse Rolls Blunt Realistic CD Intro Rap Song Good lighting ultrareal

the most unrealistic part of Ghost Rider (2007) is when Eva Mendes tries to make out with Nic Cage after 4.5 seconds of hanging out and he’s like. naaahhhhh

my most insane crank local political conspiracy is that the city of austin intentionally allocates city maintenance workers in the most ineffective and insanely inefficient way possible in order to psychologically have leverage for why we should expand highways and shit

im out and about eating dinner and the packers/bears game ended and one of the guys in the group next to me started talking about playing runescape and smoking crack

im playing destiny 2 again. not sure if this is good or bad

i just time traveled from the year 2036 and all media is made by a single corporation. everything is absolutely fine and there are no problems with it at all

lol Trump pardoning Cuellar. just goes down a big list of Extremely Guilty People one by one and decides if he wants to purchase them, more or less.

electric wind god fist never looked so good 👀

just bought a new 32” alienware monitor because i’m a digusting gamer 👍 (and also my current monitor is now starting to bleed after 5 years)

finally, someone who actually knows what they're talking about debunking all the ML-KEM bullshit posting as of late. good read. keymaterial.net/2025/11/27/m...

austinsystems.org meets tonight! We've got a lot of audio hardware + software talk, and one on Cloudflare (unrelated to the Big Incident yesterday but I'm sure there'll be a lot of shop talk about it haha)

Gemini auto-transcription caught the start of our meeting where we planned a proletariat revolution at work. computers are NOT your friends

really good paper: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/...

this is also a good lesson in the fact that you probably should not give your projects' social media login to people who have posters addiction

kind of funny the guy doing oss-fuzz security fixes for ffmpeg thinks sending patches wouldn't help while everyone yells about it lol. this roughly tracks with my experience writing exploits and handling security issues and yet i see nobody bring it up

oh what's that, did another epsteinball happen? ahhh i'm just kidding i'm only having a lil' fun. the president is a pedophile

all of the hand wringing over "google should also fund ffmpeg development/craft fixes" and imo none of it really matters because pure corporate charity wish casting is not actionable. the Alphabet Workers Union is the solution to this problem not snarky tweets and forum posts

probably one of the hardest openings of all time lamport.azurewebsites.net/pubs/buridan...

my ongoing experience with this machine is that it remains pretty good, the price is a shame. might actually see how functional the desktop experience is and actually use it for my new workstation...

TIL rename(1) man7.org/linux/man-pa...

found my first tear on the arm of my aeron :(

[me writing a comment on a post about how teaching someone to fish will feed them for a lifetime] can anyone give me a TL;DR on this?

sipping coffee and reading some links about computer programming. interesting stuff, i should probably open some forum comment pages to see what all the most annoying low-skill scolds think about it

is that good

from what i can tell the dodgers win has caused most Canadians on the internet to begin engaging in sephiroth speeches about America. i love it when sports brings everyone together

Nice reply "owning" me, unfortunately you parsed 2 levels of irony but missed completely the third, wherein it's clear I'm making fun of the persona your reply intended to critique. That being said I'm still hurt to an almost unimaginable degree

i think one of more surreal moments in the last few weeks was seeing @steveklabnik.com's announcement be featured by @quinnypig.com in Last Week in AWS. like, i started that jj startup! we're not even on AWS at the moment!

lobsters is a very weird website because on an article whose obvious thrust is "here's a way to help ensure people are rightfully paying for something" the most upvoted takeaway is that this is somehow "redistribution of wealth." bizarre website lobste.rs/s/vd7dgj/nor...

Is that good

All of the videos from the first #jj-vcs conference are out! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

if you want to be good at computer programming the first thing you should do is NOT write any computer programs. you should post 50 times a day. only then is there any chance that people will call you a Good Boy and put Treats in your mouth; and this is the most noble of pursuit of knowledge

lol i think i saw the actual poster for this at the google offices when i was there testing.googleblog.com/2025/10/simp...

i could easily do an Isaac Chotiner interview without making a fool out of myself. he just hasn't invited me on for precisely that reason

moons ago i remember finding a cockroachdb issue about "can you do auto-TLS bootstrapping with EKE+password" and got a response like "yeah we hear this all the time from customers! and would accept a patch for it!" and the guy was like "you're outta your fucking mind, get a new PM." valuable lesson
