Look, look, look! I have my own domain name! I write small essays in tweet-length installments. I'm sorry. In other news, how do you get a blue check on your own server? Can I just award myself one? I'm to lazy to find out, but I will wonder for a bit.

Yay! I'm doing Stuff(TM)! But also, I have a habit of lots and lots of downtime, so my endurance for Stuff(TM) is limited. But but but! It's like I'm a real person again, which is just nice.

The latest adventures of Carl the Cat: There are none! He is a fat cat that does not go outside or have adventures. Here's a pic, though. Isn't he the cutest?

Once upon a time, I did a very insane thing and posted into a void that nobody else had permission to access. Somehow those posts still had effects, in that my Totally Original Observations became more commonplace soon after.

So, bluesky is still generating my feed, despite the fact that I'm hosting my own posts. AND IT'S NOT GIVING INFINITE SCROLL! I get **repeated** posts if I scroll past my measly short subscription list, and I want more social media in my social media. This has been Olivia Complains About Stuff.

New experiment: be blatantly arrogant about how smart I am, crack the occasional joke, and don't tell anyone when I'm doing one or the other.

I'm taking 8.01 (introduction to physics) for the third time. See, it sounds bad, unless you know the second time was as a TA and this third time is mostly for fun, because I have fond memories of the class.

Maybe I should start my own threads instead of hanging out in comments sections. But nobody reads my stuff, so that's actually a terrible plan.

My most recent project idea is small enough and grounded enough that I might actually follow through with it!

It's 2-something a.m. and I should be asleep, but the caffeine in my system and the time of day are competing for my circadian rhythm. In other news: yay! I have a circadian rhythm! I had my doubts....

Hey - I have the digitaldebrief.com domain as well, and just wrote a proposal for "public", "private", and "social" internet, to distinguish the "dark web" from the private internet, as the dark web is only private on the network layer. digitaldebrief.com/articles/dar...

I knew I was smart. I even knew I was very smart. Also: privileged. I just didn't fully realize what most of the population has to deal with, when things are already confusing, and you have not been spoon-fed highly filtered quality content since birth.

Way, way back many centuries ago, not long after the Bible began, .... A bunch of stuff happened and were recorded in various styles with different degrees of credibility for different intended effects on an audience. It's all really confusing, actually, and simplistic readings are unsatisfying.

AI is/was massively profitable as generative AI because it laundered intellectual property into something untraceable. It's legitimate future lies in code and software, because open source and math are both legally usable.

Hey: what if I post something obvious into the void? "Navy needs to build more ships, but it can't do that without congressional funding" or somesuch?

I figured out a thing that was bothering me about data structures (namely: let them be granular), and now I'm riding the high of my problems clicking away.

Attrition is tough from a PR perspective, unless you are the Russian state media, in which case one simply does not mention that infiltrating units have low survival rates.

There is something to be said for simplicity in engineering designs, but electronics quickly get out of soldering-level fixes on its parts. If you need a factory with specialized equipment to manufacture something, exactly how specialized, and how well are you tracking out of date equipment?

I think it's funny that Martha Stewart's opinion on Meghan Markle is taken seriously. Like.... the headlines should read "lifestyle marketer dismissive of royal competition" or something....

So... I just burned through a month's worth of Claude credits thinking through The App that I have been obsessed with for a decade. I got a nice wire frame out of it, but I do not understand the code, so.... back to the start, but slower this time.

Huh. youtu.be/V_qzqY1bb7I?... I wonder if I was the young tester he mentioned.... I remember so little from that project because I was doing so little semantic work, but I definitely remember the mc/dc requirement.

I'm sure the latest flyover was part of some important training exercise or something. Lesson learned: loud noise sonic boom aaaaaaaah!

Logistics and especially supply chains are war-defining PITAs that can be heavily influenced by 3d printing of various kinds. That plus a CNC mill could make the critical need for standard parts a significantly smaller burden.

youtu.be/DprKDXRlubw I actually watched this; I am not merely reacting to the introduction. I paid close attention to China a while ago, and I appreciated the thorough update, including the use of key phrases in Chinese.

I think the US president should declare a Russian victory in Ukraine, just to see what happens. No actual negotiated agreement. Just a single sentence press release or something. Lol.

Heretic's Asylum Where anyone can call everyone a heretic, as long as there is ecumenical communication happening anyway. Grow up, develop some thick skin, and get on with it.
