This is the platonic ideal of the bluescreen. I am using a device. When it fails, I want to see a big sterile readout that says "the machine has failed. This is why." Not fucking "Google the error message to learn more :]" you fucking rats.

We desperately need to get away from arguments for the humanities that elevate them because of what they do for technology. The humanities should not be understood as service disciplines. They are an extension of us, and that is enough.

"The first madness was that we were born, that they stuffed a god into a bag of skin." (Akwaeke Emezi, Freshwater) Why does this quote go so hard holy shit

Is there any information about the design of MARISA tries? It seems to be relatively well-known, as far as niche data structures go, but all I can find are wrappers around the C++ library for different languages, so it seems like nobody even reimplemented it natively? www.s-yata.jp/marisa-trie/...

if a position of authority can be misused in this way, that position of authority should not exist. It's clearly not enough to simply change who is in that position, no more than praying that the next king be better than the last.

Tapping the sign

A young woman (the youtuber Strange Aeons, I believe) in a shirt, tie, vest, and party hat, in front of a microphone, with a powerpoint slide behind her that reads "The greatest research skill you can have is being a nosy bitch who wants to find out"

"Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn."

That's some real Bogdan shit

Still from the Polish series 1670 showing Bogdan, a hussar, carrying his wings on his back. He has a blond mustache and bears a striking resemblance to the reconstructed warrior in the quoted skeet.

Who was going to tell me there was a statistical mechanics critique of totalitarianism

An excerpt from Václav Havel's "The Power of the Powerless", the last sentence highlighted:

"Between the aims of the post-totalitarian system and the aims of life there is a yawning abyss: while life, in its essence, moves toward plurality, diversity, independent self-constitution, aud self organization, in short, toward the fulfillment of its own freedom, the post-totalitarian system demands conformity, uniformity, and discipline. While life ever strives to create new and improbable structures, the posttotalitarian system contrives to force life into its most probable states."

Actively getting brain damage from the amount of people ecstatic at the possibility of using LLMs to extract every last drop of "productivity" out of their time away from their desks. Some of you need to learn to sit with your thoughts and just exist in the world.
