I did another Substack: open.substack.com/pub/airwindo... Think it's working: exploring ideas on intelligence and society and evolution I started in 2019 and going deeper into them, in a human but y-combinatatorially-disconnected way, for an audience of people and future-AI or whoever. 'cos why not

This is a VERY GOOD thread on the subject of 'does everything just always only get worse'. I'll add that when I was a baby my Mom (a head nurse) was not allowed a credit card unless in her husband's name. That's in MY lifetime. Courage. Better is do-able.

Graham speaks for me in this goal. This is what I try to do. If I'm able to smile when doing it, it's because I know that's what I'm doing. If I'm not able to smile that week, who can blame me? But I'll be back, and I was there that week <3

I have video editing underway. Thankfully a bit shorter this time. BezEQ2. I feel I am completely failing to properly explain what the point of it is or how it's better than the first or ANYTHING, but *waves at all this* and I'm gonna have my three videos. Plugin, patron (Yours Is No Disgrace) and…

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

I've stumbled upon a measuring-my-reverbs metric that seems to be giving valid but totally orthoganal results to all the other methods (compressibility, peak-vs-RMS, room size). Here's hoping it leads me useful places.

One comforting thought is that the Young Turks have likely always been paid propagandists, not genuine believers. It's still scary what they're saying now, and it's scary that it's being pushed from above, but somehow better than if it were rising up from below. It's not organic; it can be stopped.

Let me grab a shower and get in some livestreaming. Did some work around the house in the morning. Leaky radiator drain redirect for a water drip. It ought to manage itself from now on, though I keep macgyvering stuff in ways that are at best eccentric :)

Not a good Bluesky morning: shame on Kansas, which must be stopped. But I found a decent thing: if this is at all true it seems a good analysis. And since Russia is behind the MAGA right… it's indirect hope? Still gotta clean house. Slava Minneapolis, now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YjP...

Randomly adding elaborate chords-adjacent-to-keys cards to the card game, in a way that might spur something useful :) there's already a much more subtle aspect of that, but this is just straight up 'HERE! USE THESE!' :) If you flip the card, you get the adjacent key (which is kinda already shown…)

I made a substack :) it's beginning by posting chapters from a book I became too busy to finish, which turns out to be a snapshot of my thinking JUST before GPT-3 existed. See whether I predicted all this! :D airwindows.substack.com/subscribe?pa...

Daily bunny no.3238 is the first line of defense

And now that it's nearly bedtime, I have finished the final video! SO exhausted. Tomorrow is another day, and the upcoming week is plugin coding again. (though, you'll see: I made some big strides with the video game on Friday :) )

and DONE. The last firewoods ended up pretty damp, but by the time I get to them they'll be nice and dry. No more wood in the woodpile. Now, dinner and editing three videos not necessarily in that order. And only minor hand injury, bit of peroxide and we're good :) even in welder gloves, tho

Got every last stick of wood in the woodpile uncovered from snow! Just in time for rain to begin to drizzle XD welp, in for a penny in for a pound I guess! Covering the last bits up with a tarp while not actively throwing them in the wheeled trashbarrel I use to transport wood with.

WELP. Blizzard comin'. It is time to drag all the remaining wood indoors in the last hours of the day AND to edit three videos. It might be late, late at night by the time I'm done with everything: here's to unexpected necessities. I want a full stock of firewood in here before it hits.

the Black Panthers were right

If Benny is pushing it it's a Russian preference for us. It honestly makes me wonder if they are trying to groom the US so when they lose to Ukraine they'll all come HERE and run the show. Don't want that!

AI in a nutshell

Oh wow… this is significant. Poland correctly identifies they are in the same boat as Ukraine, though they do not wish to try and line up all of NATO on the front lines right now.

taking a shower when it's raining outside like hmm i prefer domesticated water

pure elite capture - the uk just folded to a hardline anti-trans campaign pushed by a tiny number of people www.thepinknews.com/2026/02/11/n...

It is 'bring racks of firewood inside while it's not snowing or raining' o-clock! Wish I could do more of the DSP coding I was doing yesterday, but I'll be live again doing it tomorrow. Today, hauling firewood for hours. Very 'The Band in Woodstock' coded :D But with less drinking and car accidents

🧵 on the ignorance on display. 1) Starting w/diversity. The US military should broadly look like the US as that keeps the military tethered to American society. If it's all just a bunch of door kicking rural white Christian dudes that's bad. It's bad for the military & it's bad for American. 1/

Planning to bring in a bunch of firewood Wednesday, hoping the expected Tuesday snow is just a tiny lil bit. It'll be warmer, but today I got lots of snow off the tarped woodpile. Tuesday is return to plugin coding livestream: I have lots of things to try. Among them: a video showed me more Bezier…

Rather tired of the arctic weather (thirty degrees or more below freezing) but bearing up OK. It's arctic when you're like 'must keep fire going AT ALL TIMES or the cold will set in and then it takes forever to shift it'. www.climate.gov/news-feature...

Aspirational yote if ever I saw one. Will he share? :D

Dwight Ozard used to say that the answer to “Who is my neighbor?” is always this: “BE a neighbor.”

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Oh, hey, it's Bandcamp Friday! Look at that! I have made, for your listening pleasure, a _new_ EP of Micronaut musics! "unceremonious" is five all new tracks, now available on Bandcamp! micronaut.bandcamp.com/album/uncere...

Yes. The best you can hope for at the moment is to strengthen the ability of states to fight deployment; to give them power to stop new detention facilities; to slow hiring, and shrink the recruiting pool. The Democrat demands accomplish that. You are not going to get abolition now.

okay, enough. Let's get all the offcamera work stuff done I'm tired but so what. There might be a good reverb algo in there, and it's good for me to do the drum-pad and bass practice. Streaming after.

Got a start on the card game inspiration thingy. Turns out what it needed was to be note and meter AGNOSTIC. Now you could use this to inspire abstract paintings, something I intend to try when I get more work done on the project. It's gotta be pretty striking and vivid or it won't work.

I made a long video about technocapitalism and AI music youtu.be/U8dcFhF0Dlk?...

I'm considering rethinking the arrangement-game-thing as a card game again. Because maybe it's challenging making physical objects and all… but those are tangible, and I'm not feeling like our digital world has the stability and persistence we're used to assuming it has.

It's depressing how unusable Weather Underground is without adblocking. I used to like it so much when I ran a Chromium that could do uBlock Origin, and now it's hot garbage aggressively throwing popups at me. Mind you they all might be like that now

COOL THING ALERT! There is a brand new, ultra-high quality rip of the "lost" Boards of Canada bootlegs on YT. It's a fun story, I'll attempt to summarize it. Boards of Canada are the legendary electronic music band that are responsible for influencing... basically a billion bands that came later.

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

And now it's dark and I still have all the text-adding and rendering to do… BUT, I made dinner and the firewood-carrying is done. So, fair's fair. Here's hoping my running commentary is any good, I can talk about new sampler releases from my friends at least :) maybe I'll do ALL friend project yays.

Interleaving video editing work that'll be all the rest of the day and night, most likely, with refilling a firewood rack, hauling firewood. I like firewood. It's heavy and cumbersome but you drag it out and set it on fire and you're supposed to do that. If only all our problems were solved thusly.

Technical glitches in Final Cut that I wouldn't be getting in Resolve… because they're from a plugin I use to run BRAW directly in Final Cut. Rolled the latest update of the plugin back and it looks like I can keep working, which is good because all this depends on me being able to communicate…

Welp! Nearly 3 and have done THREE videos this time, because I'm going to try and add a 'Forbidden Audio' video to the main channel. Tracks banned from YouTube, measured with Meter/DarkMeter, with spoken intro revealing their 'secrets', played with ContentHideD so most of 'em get muted.

It's crazy that if you have the first principle "human ethnic groups, physical differences aside, are not different in terms of mental capacity or 'inherent' personality traits" you are woker than 90% of the people who work for supposedly liberal media organizations.
