I tried to search this website for ocarina content but it is all Zelda. So weird that a whole instrument got overshadowed by a video game

There are two wolves inside me. One is a developer and one is a tester. There's a heated debate about whether writing automated tests is more important than it is mind-numbing

i write to you with solemn news. i am in paris, writing my life’s only masterwork. i spend my days drinking good espresso and smoking inexpensive cigarettes, writing clear and hard about what hurts. as such, i cannot ‘Log On’ - and friend - i will not attend your ‘laser-focused mesh network webinar’

code review. brother these functions are mad insalubrious, i must say. brother you’ve written some frankly unsalutary code here. frankly mephitical stuff. mephitical stuff indeed

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

I need to make some more circles...

people saying ai is a fad don't know what they're talking about. i'm definitely not giving up my claude now; the ability to do structural refactors "change this thing to be layered like this thing in this other project" is fantastic. i *do* want the model to be local and hope we'll get there in time

Possible multiple innumeration of innumerable

not to be confused with old deuteronomy, who is an ancient and wise cat who has lived many lives in succession

I'm halfway through converting my personal site from pure HTML to @11ty.dev, and I have been quite surprised by how easy it has been! A really great piece of tech.

Microsoft hates computers AND everyone who uses them, whereas Apple only hates computers, and Linux only hates the people who use them. In this essay I will

Interchangeability is what new social platforms like Bluesky and Mastodon are doing, though with different technologies and different ideas on how to do it. When you hear talk about decentralization, it's about making the social platforms interchangeable to solve the neutrality problem.

Same data but just for September months. Completely unnecessary self flagellation. It's like all the lessons learned on the need for fiscal kick-starts are being roundly ignored. Small island, housing ponzi, rogergnomics, 8-wire, whip the poor exceptionalism. (2/2)

Reposting both anti and pro AI sentiments to keep people on their toes

this is going to get me yelled at so I will preemptively say "this is not the thread to reply with 'but I just don't like AI and think it's bad'" but I do think that "LLMs are glorified autocorrect" as a meme is actively hindering people's understanding of how this tech works at this point

A part of the reason the "AI discourse" is perpetually cursed is because it implicitly elides over differences in religious belief about the ontological reality of the Infinite Money God and one's moral and spiritual obligations towards it

theyre doing this to me

It's simply impossible to do tasks on the bus. The nature of the bus is antithetical to emails, messages, and other such things

You should all listen to the new dodie album instead of the Taylor Swift one

this! so much of this. if you’re comparing the AI to a theoretical perfect mind that never invents weird folk theories, never gets things subtly wrong, can apply every extant piece of knowledge in every context error-free, then yes, LLMs *are* garbage. we should use perfect minds instead. got one?

It’s so offensive to people who love to write and are great at writing specifically because it doesn’t involve talking out loud while looking cute and being popular, that is the skillset of our highschool enemies

imagine the kind of person you'd have to be to ride a cat. motivated, yet patient. intuitive. strong. no more than eight inches tall.

Incredible work going on at this account

Nanobots will greatly expand the territories of possible insobriety. They will keep you alive despite your 20% blood alcohol content. Mental states we can only dream of

By slathering yourself in dish soap you can infiltrate the sanctums of even the most powerful bubble-gods, and pass unnoticed into their vast, orb-webbed shimmering brains, and distort their computations

Drinking 8-10 cups of coffee before lunchtime every day is a great way to enter a physical state that normally only applies to tachyons

iPads really should've just been small computers but this isn't viable due to the mistakes we made when we made computers

Annie Dillard wrote, "I am really here, alive on the intricate earth under trees." She sure can write a fucking sentence. AD knows where to put the commas. Could've put one after earth, but what a mistake that would've been. Could've used a word inferior to intricate. Instead, perfect sentence.

We could have a perfect "information environment" and none of this shit would be solved.

may we all ask better questions

Glockenspiels are also known as bells. Tubular bells are different and are also known as chimes. There are also bell trees which are different from mark trees, which are also (wrongly) known as wind chimes. I just think this should have been organised better!

This is going to be soo cool I think

The Alt National Park Service account calls itself the official "resistance" team of the US National Park Service. With 887k followers, is one of the biggest accounts on Bluesky. It is the 11 most followed account according to some trackers. This thread will dive into its activity. 🧵 1/x.

Yeah I'm pro artificial intelligence. As in the 1992 compilation that defined the genre of IDM

put some thoughts together on the LLM trend and its implications for labor rights. there's a lot to be said about the lofty claims of pro-LLM technologists, but this presumes their promises of efficiency, etc. are true. henry.codes/writing/econ...

brother i have written business logic machines with so much spaghetti and side-effect that developers would go in to review the PR and never make it out again. i've caused stack overflows so deep that jr. devs can't touch the bottom even on tippy toes

The Green budget has great stuff in it and it frustrates me no end that they get treated like "tree-hugging weirdos" while National, who were told that their landlord tax cuts didn't add up before the election, get to throw women under the bus and still are somehow "safe hands" for the economy.

I like this description of LLMs

Man I love ada limon
