the secret to my success? I have a post-it note on top of my monitor saying “You are an expert software engineer”

This morning, while on a walk, a man walked by me in a hoodie with Marx, Engels and Lenin on it. Underneath them, it said “Sigma Hustler Grindset”. Much to think about

INSULINDIAN PHASMID - Few of us can begin to imagine the horror of you -- with all of creation reflected in your forebrain. It must be like the highest of hells, a kaleidoscope of fire and writhing glass. Eternal damnation.

Insiders within OpenAI have told me that they halted training because an internal model went rogue during an eval and completed the system of German idealism

I created an AI model that takes ANY software system and produces a TLA+ model that satisfies ALL its properties. Software engineering is solved forever!

A Python program that just outputs the null TLA+ spec, which automatically satisfies all properties

I started playing around with the data dump Discogs publishes every month, and found some fun stuff. Here's what I found.

Writing a little blogpost about playing around with the Discogs data dump, but thought this was neat. Im rooting for a flexi-disc comeback

A graph showing releases of music by format on discogs. Vinyl peaks in 1976, casette in 1994, CDs in 2006. You can see the vinyl revival, and weirdly enough a casette revival in the 2010s

Today’s FT Mag celebrates the deep autumnal joys of brown foods, which are the best foods. I was dispatched to find the best brown dish. Have a link good for 300 paywall-busting free reads. When they’re gone they’re gone. Or pick up a print copy of @ftweekend.com as.ft.com/r/99e584fc-8...

Apropos of nothing, I like that in mu.social you can choose what content service you consume from! In case, theoretically, you dont want to put up with the moderation decisions of, theoretically, a bunch of brain melted ex-twitterites

I like atproto but its a little disconcerting how everyone who works on/with it seems to start posting about how the apocalypse is happening. Do the Mastodon people do that

Trying to familiarise myself with jujustu (the vcs, not the martial art) and it's slightly unnerving just how deeply integrated the git flow is in me. "name the thing you're working on first rather than at the end when you commit" shouldnt be this hard to feel comfortable with!

Happened across this unhinged Wittgenstein line

We speak of birds singing. When I was a boy I was bothered in listening to birds, because it obviously isn't singing. Finally someone said to me, "All right, don't call it singing, call it something else"
'. And soon I could listen to birds and enjoy it.

I know times change, people change, this time its different, etc. But Steve Yegge writing 20 years ago “I believe, quite staunchly I might add, that the worst thing that can happen to a code base is size” is cosmically funny. Its the perfect bit
