These are basically illegal in most of the US and they shouldn't be.

In 1970 near the peak of his fame he put out an album that was a real stinker, before going on to make Blood on the Tracks five years later. For anyone making stuff, it's just really to remember: it's ok to swing and miss! To try things that don't work.

I was laissez faire with grading when I taught a class on Entrepreneurship at Williams. But if I ever teach again, I think I'll be more strict. It's not great for the kids to learn that they can be irresponsible, because their manager at an entry level job won't be so easygoing.

Really excited about @modretro.bsky.social. I (mostly) love futuristic tech but get nostalgic for the time before tik tok and rising sea temperatures. It's nice for me that the cool kids are also into 80s retro. ModRetro just sold out of their first run but they say they'll ship other products.

A mom just came in SO EXCITED to find a map store bc her son would LOVE it. She tries to be coy. "My son is... Really into maps. Real special kid." I'm like, ma'am, this is a map store. Half my customers are on the spectrum. I have a trains and transit section. You're among friends.

This explains a lot. NJ is very pleasant, if you live in NJ. But driving there from Manhattan (where I imagine tv writers lived in the 90s) is something else.

Just take a moment to absorb what's contained in this single post, not even the thread beneath it. The President is barred from leaving the country and under investigation for Treason. Also still in charge of the military. Not great, Bob!

I miss the old style okcupid profiles for dating. Profiles were several paragraphs deep and quiz answers got very personal. You really knew what you were getting into before that first date.

The problems of SAI are better than allowing the world to heat up. What all reporters fail to share is risk of doing SAI vs. risk of not doing it [1]. This has been modeled extensively and now we're taking the next step and increasing our deployments. [1] www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZ8T...

We can solve climate change (at least the heating up part) by injecting sulfur into the upper upper atmosphere. See: @makesunsets.bsky.social I don't know why this isn't discussed more among the accelerationist / longevity crowd.

There are unidentified aircraft flying over sensitive airspace in NJ. These are either an adversary like China, an experiment from the DoD with total disregard for civilians, or some kind of aliens. Is there another possibility? All of the above options are non-trivial.

I just hope the lab where they’re doing this gain-of-function research has good security. Because it’s possible this mutation will happen on its own, but we don’t need to help it in any way.

Health insurance companies are the worst and health insurance CEOs are people who voluntarily choose to be at the top of that pyramid of greed and paperwork and apathy. But I want to live in a society where we don't execute people in the street, even really bad people.

My favorite thing about Bluesky and social networks like it is that identities can be bound to externally controlled sources of truth, so scammers like this weirdo will never be able to convincingly impersonate people like @vitalik.ca, who has attached his personal domain. Go do that if you haven't.

My neighbor's dog is missing, and we believe someone took him. He's come to the door a few times to review my camera footage, but I don't have much on the neighbors. Feels like a good excuse to put more cameras up around the house, to catch a bit more of what's going on.

I get my following the same way on every social network: by being a nepo baby of the actual hard drives that the posts are stored on. My grand-uncle was the Internet Protocol itself; all of this was deeded to me on an AOL CD-ROM.
