I like seeing the dev of the SNES core on the Pocket actually telling one of these dudes off. Holy shit.

Experimental MSU-1 streami. #123

agg23 commented yesterday
If it works, that's pretty cool; I didn't think
would ever see this implemented (I also didn't
expect LLMs to exist).
However, this is not something you can PR
here, or anywhere. You sent me a nearly 50k
line diff, unasked for, completely LLM built, and
you somehow expect me to review it. There is
SO MUCH unrelated garbage here. Never
minding all of the docs and Python, you've
somehow touched basically all of the upstream
HDL, which already had MSU1 support, so idk
what in the world you're doing.
This kind of behavior is not acceptable. You are
infringing on the time and brainpower of people
by pushing "your" content that little/no of your
brainpower went into; completely unrequested.
I hope for the sake of all responsible
maintainers that you do not do such a thing
again.
Again, I think it's cool that you and your LLM
supposedly got this to work. It has no place in
my world.

Niche grievance: Restaurants referring to “proteins” is anti-life and reduces food in its infinite variety to a macronutrient delivery vehicle and the person eating it to a macronutrient conversion mechanism

Sort of insane fact about how broken US urban planning is—America now spends more building *just the lights for roads and highways* than on all subways & ground mass transit combined Spending on roadway *pavement* is 18x transit spending

Physical therapists are very limited in their notion of activity. They’ll work to get a runner back to running if they can, but they’ll tell a musician to just stop playing.

They changed the Firefox layout and (trying to sound relatable, panicking a little) I feel like that episode of Star Trek where Worf tumbles through parallel universes until he doesn't recognize the bridge controls and his failure to raise shields lets Bajoran separatists damage the Enterprise

Any cognition you perceive in "AI" is your own. That's it. You built your concept of its intelligence, the same way you understand fictional characters as people. The same way you can see an octopus in a towel hook. They are using your mind to sell their product. The human is you.

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

AI has not made us better, more productive, more successful or grown the economy outside of GPU sales and data center construction. It has also made the price of every single device of every kind more expensive, depressed the housing market, and increased literally everybody’s cost of debt.

Sometimes a drug trip is a profound experience where you realize that you’ve been carrying pain in your heart for years, that you can forgive yourself. Other times you come up with a concept called “gay money” (money that’s gay) and you text your friend “gay money” days later. Both are healing. ❤️‍🩹

It is insane how quickly the hyperfocus on STEM created a society of young compassion-less zombies with no counterculture. Without the humanities you simply cease to be human.

I think a cool thing would be if you could scan a packaged food’s UPC and see if there’s an active recall on it. Once that takes off my follow-up product would be to re-release upton sinclair’s “the jungle” with a sexy cover.

We were watching the Wolverine Sentinel footage, and... We used to call these "high chair boss battles" because the boss looks like a baby in a high chair and you're on their tray. Now you have to see it, too 😅

screenshot from the new Wolverine game with him battling a giant Sentinel. Wolverine is on a platform that comes up to the sentinel's waist. The sentinel hands can come to rest on the platform.

A mock bad photoshop of Wolverine in the same pose from the trailer shooped into a stock image of a large baby boy sitting in a high chair and crying. Wolverine is standing on the high chair tray in a similar angle and presentation to the previous game trailer screenshot

but people keep instead trying to sell 'they really actually want to do the right thing. they really are on your side. they're going to fight for you ASAP, it's just not possible during a campaign'. it's unconvincing, with good reason. don't blow smoke people's asses. it just makes them madder.

The letter from 25 Fields Medalists defending the practice of mathematics uses revealing language, describing math as a "creative" endeavor sustained by human-to-human transmission.After decades of contempt for the Humanities looks like we're all Humanists now. terrytao.wordpress.com/2026/09/11/a...

Often these solutions are announced in a rush, leaving no time for a proper writeup, the isolation of new methods and ideas, and citing relevant previous work of others. As in all creative professions, this raises severe attribution and plagiarism questions. Moreover, without the willing mathematicians who must take care of their development and integration into the mathematical canon, AI-conceived ideas would never become fully alive and the crucial human transmission chain between mathematicians would be lost.

There's never talk about "fairness" when some schools have fencing teams and pools and computer labs and some schools hold classes in trailers. Never about how 1 in 9 schoolchildren live in poverty. But it's always a "fairness" issue when a school has a trans athlete or too many black students.
