If Trump wants his name on something, let it be the Trump Memorial Fire Hydrant installed in every dog park in America. It can even be gold.

I wrote a new piece yesterday, called "Confessions of an Unrepentant Slop Snob", about my escalating rage at AI-generated text. It includes a framework for thinking about when AI involvement is fine -- just another tool -- and when it lands as a violation. charity.wtf/p/confession...

All code is technical debt. AI-generated code is highly leveraged technical debt. Adjust your risk profile accordingly.

So many sneering elitist journalists with snarky posts over the past months that the Reflecting Pool story was trivial. It was so trivial that the DC US Attny presented false evidence to a grand jury to indict an innocent man to please the President while they both lied about it.

my reaction to fully three-quarters of "new AI features" is "jesus christ, why?" sometimes that's "why" as in "this is dumb who would want this" and some times it's "why" as in "this is dumb and will lead to bad things" and sometimes it's both:

Right now, everyone faces a hard binary choice between authoritarianism and democracy. If you don’t think it’s a binary choice and that because of your issue or issues that both sides are the same, then you’re part of the problem.

Living in America is like being locked in a windowless room with a chimp holding a hand grenade. Sure, I'm relieved when he gets distracted and throws his own poop instead of pulling the pin, but in the end I'm still locked in a room with him.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve? If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days? If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built? It's a tax. That's all it is.
