Recently remarked on my luck and privilege to have been assigned this book in high school and the way it stuck with me.

See also: the hacker news thread about going into any office and asking to see their spreadsheets. Turn those into web forms and voila you have formalized their domain knowledge and business processes into an app.

💯 As a junior web developer, a senior once told me (only half jokingly), "our whole job is getting forms to submit" and I've thought of us as bureaucrats ever since.

Have tried and cancelled like 6 different meal services because, like, "just ship it in a box" really can't solve for all the real-world complexities of a family and quickly becomes not-worth-it. They think of this stuff as jaywalking, but it's the real mess of actual life.

Sure. When done well/right, code & science should be externally verifiable, so "generating" them via LLMs is just another tool/approach to getting a desired result. Music/writing is expression- there's no externally verifiable solution- the point is what you have to say and AI can't do that for you.

never go in there, but needed a modem after the lightning this weekend and did not love how the first folks I saw at the podium(?) by the front door are a manager and cop.

The chord change is happening today! The John Cage Organ Project Halberstadt's new chord means this 639-year project is about 4% complete. More from the AP here: apnews.com/article/john...
apnews.com
This organ will play one composition until 2640. It's redefining how slowly music can be played
A small organ in eastern Germany is the headliner of the world’s slowest concert. It has been playing the same piece of music by composer John Cage at a glacial pace for nearly 25 years.

The “losing control” narrative creates the loss of control. Nobody is losing control of an emerging intelligence. They’re redirecting their own agency to it, as a way of diffusing responsibility, but the self-perpetuated intelligence myth has them convinced they have no choice.

Forgot about this video, but it just came across my feed. Amazing song, and also now I need a dark/gritty HP spinoff about Snape's secret life as an illicit drug manufacturer/addict.

Ugh it's a myth, the retelling is the point. The added layers of text and meaning are what make it interesting. Before long, these man babies are going to be going on "historically accurate" bike rides by putting their training wheels back on.

every now and then I see a bit of news about british politics and I know we're not in a place to talk shit over here, but... c'mon, what? is there a country in this world with a more out-of-whack self-seriousness to actual-seriousness ratio?

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.
