Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 25/05/2026Very exciting news: notnothing.ooo, the small press which I have begun to help my friends Suspended Reason and @arquipelago.org run, is the recipient of a New Aesthetics grant. To celebrate, we are giving away PDFs of Suspended Reason's “Avatar: Way of Water”: www.notnothing.ooo/books/the-wa... 0100
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 28/04/2026Dustin Moskovitz getting addicted to bluesky is so funny. The "no gap larger than four hours" label is one of my favorite details on this app. Labellers in general—truly great content. 3774
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 24/04/2026the long break is 11 hours. in practice this means that charging is done in the operating time, which puts electric vehicles at a structural disadvantage. there are similar exceptions in place for ferries and railways! 200
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 24/04/2026he also claims Alex Karp literally caused both 9/11 and Covid and sent hitmen after him, i don't think this guy is credible 000
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 24/04/2026The source for this claim also says that Palantir caused not just Covid, but also 9/11. He also says that Alex Karp sent hitmen after him. I am not really a fan of Palantir but I do not think this is a credible guy. 152
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 07/04/2026We could perhaps save some time if we start with this sentence, and whether you agree with it. 120
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 01/04/2026Wired has a piece out today on the topic of the Woke 2 meme. Their conclusion? It's not a real cultural moment, because culture right now is when right wingers do things. Bad take and I disagree! 160
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 18/02/2026I would very much like to try the new Ruixue, Ruixianghong and Qincui varietals 010
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 28/01/2026not to be too woke but the focus on "being held accountable" is tacitly carceral 040
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 29/12/2025once again i would like to point out that contrary to expectations, ATMs did not reduce bank teller employment, with ATMs introduced in the 70s and bank tellers peaking in 2005. bank tellers did see qualitative changes in the job, however. and online banking did later reduce bank teller employment. 060
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 09/11/2025Study period january-thru-august and it covers attempts to do enterprise software acquisitions. The headline number excludes LLMs entirely, which by the same metric have a 40% success rate. "95% of sales attempts of non-LLM generative AI tools don't close" doesn't have the same ring to it. 110
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 09/11/2025Very weird claim to suggest productivity isn't up honestly. It certainly seems to be up! 140
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 13/10/2025DONALD SHOUP raised one hand and thus he spake: PEDESTRIANS SHALL NOT SUBSIDIZE PARKING FOR DRIVERS 070
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 08/10/2025this take is literally an entire decade late but the first time i heard taylor swift's "Style" i thought it was a shockingly forthright piece of racial propaganda and it's kinda bizarre to me that this isn't the consensus view 050
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 16/09/2025In particular, "Dynamic Sketching" is now possible and even at times trivial; the same is broadly true for "Dynamic Reading" as well, if you ask Claude to write up little toys for you to play with as you go along. 100

Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 27/04/2025I actually think this is a rare case where they really should tear down more freeway. It's a six-block leg that splits two neighborhoods apart for 1.5 exits, with no real destination or natural throughfare at the end of it. At a minimum, it should open onto Van Ness and not extend to Octavia 130
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 04/02/2025i'm not falling for this scam—i know these grants are frozen 020
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 12/01/2025it's supposed to show you the amount of time you have spent on your phone today. it obviously does not work quite right. 010
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 22/12/2024slight decline in steps from last year… but active energy is way up! 120
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 11/12/2024I just sent the author this email. I can't decide if it's cringe or not, but I feel it's important to correct the record. 150
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 30/11/2024you've never heard a piece in 6/4-3/4-3/8-5/4-2/4-5/8-6/4-2/4-5/4? 110
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 26/11/2024Of the many unimpressive claims in this article, this one is probably the most pants-on-fire. If developing world wages increase by 2.5x, and developed wages increase by 1x, the proportion of global production purchasable on a developing world wage has increased, and not by a little. 140
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 17/11/2024tech company wheatpaste has always felt outlandishly inauthentic but it's nice to see byrne getting a promo budget 120
Chris Beiser @egg.computer · 17/11/2024i think it's worth having a positive stance about how to improve the world that is based in reality. unrelated, here's some nice cutlery. 2220
