branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 08/10/2026They don’t need to be in 100,000 polling places — rather a handful of metro areas 100
branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Oh yeah so once the labs get bored of proving they're capable of spending millions of GPU-hours on math problems, do they stop bothering with it? And math goes back to the way it was? 020
branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I have a theory in the back of my head that the intellectually-grounded Buckley-style conservatism was always the historical aberration, and now we return to the real underlying conservatism 040
branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I feel like I’m taking crazy pills, at both Trump’s inability to speak clearly, and everyone else’s reading comprehension skills. He’s saying elevated fuel prices are an acceptable trade off to preventing a nuclear-armed Iran. It’s the same message he’s been pushing for months. 110
branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Isn't the most likely scenario still that Fetterman ends up holding the swing vote? In which case can we really say that the Dems took the Senate? 000

branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Originalism works great all the way up until you get to the hard cases where the historical record is ambiguous (i.e., the ones that end up before the Supreme Court) 000

branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I kinda wonder if we can take a blob of biology -- whatever is necessary to be the seat of consciousness -- and wire it to a computer. Like a math coprocessor, but for sentience! 010
branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I dunno, I think we should embrace this as a win for trans rights -- make Enes Kanter the poster girl for finding your truth late in life. 000
branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This "spark of humanity" thing sure seems like a pretty slippery business. How can we say for sure, for instance, that Belgians have the spark of humanity? Anyone see any potential downside to attaching dignity & rights to something that can be known only dogmatically? 122
branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Yeah I suppose it's more likely that he did his thing where, when he misspeaks, he can't admit to making a mistake and so must immediately demonstrate that he totally meant to say it that way all along. 010
branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Did somebody tell him that one potential nuclear byproduct is radioactive isotopes for medical use? And this is how his brain interpreted it? 100

branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I could be convinced either way, I'm just not sure if here we're being clever or just obtuse 100
branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I guess maybe my question is, are we just locating the body of literature already extant in the field of Computer Science regarding naming (and so forth), or does this kind of prompt trigger a *novel* application of otherwise foreign philosophical concepts into the realm of programming? 100
branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 29/09/2026"There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors" 100
branewave.bsky.social @branewave.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I do wonder if these are just roundabout ways of saying "review the object model" or other computer-science-y terminology. Maybe we can get that builder bot to create a filter that takes our prompts and swaps in the most baroque synonyms for key terms. Doesn't change the outcome, because synonyms. 100
