Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

[uspol] This weight presses upon me every day. I am flooded with stories. There are so many I cannot remember them all; cannot keep straight who was gassed, beaten, abducted, or shot. I write to leave a record, to stare at the track of the tornado which tears through our city. I write to leave […]

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

Resisting fascism by writing strongly worded letters to the editor of Der Sturmer (posting on X)

one of the fallacies of distributed computing: "there is one administrator." an administrator can fail to heed safety-critical elevator advice, briefly becoming multiple administrators. (this is known as a split-Brian condition.)

in the annals of silicon valley startup pivots, "ok, fine, you can fuck the superintelligence" is one of the very funniest

The Wired piece by @agreenberg.bsky.social and @mattburgess1.bsky.social on this just dropped, and the research by Heninger et al is stunning: “sensitive [sat] traffic is being broadcast unencrypted, including critical infrastructure, corp, gov't, and…private citizens’ voice calls & SMS". 🧵

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life
