Since the beginning of computing, we have had this iron compact with the computers: A program must be perfect for all inputs, for all contexts, for all time. If it imperfect in any way, the computer has license to do the worst possible thing at the worst possible time.

The world has become so divisive that it is inspiring that AI has the power to unite us as never before. This gives me tremendous optimism for the future. Stop AI.

A lot of people are piling on Natalie Harp. She is a distraction. You should be going after Stephen Miller, Trump's architect of tyranny. Harp is not a treat to democracy. Miller is.

Lindsey Graham died before Trump's kompromat was revealed. Good for Lindsey.

When someone really annoys you, you can say "Hey! Trump you!" You can also say "get trumped!" or "go trump yourself!" This way, no one is offended.

I just saw Hundreds of Beavers, the movie. If it had originally been a video game, I would say that this was truly the best conversion of a game to a movie in the history of both mediums. Raccoon hats off.

Is '\n' a separator or a terminator? The difference is only noticed on the last line of a text file. I think it is a generational thing. If you grew up with teletypes and crts, it is a terminator. If you grew up with window displays, it is a separator.

I am headlining at RacketCon at NWern U 0/28. So I asked ChatGPT if it could write a lambda joke that was not a riddle. Of course! Here's a straightforward lambda joke: Why did the programmer bring a ladder to the lambda function? Because they heard it was the only way to reach the higher order!
