Humidity it back and there's rampant candida in the air after last night's rain. Limit sugars and plan for garlic or sulfur rich foods. Be well #michigan! (cc #annarbor) (This msg brought to you by fungus sensitivities!)

Moving from substance to invariances was an idea of Deleuze. It seems any object can be defined as a container of Differences (see Deleuze) that remains stable over time. "I am not other people, therefore this Difference-container is what I call me." www.essentiafoundation.org/how-is-an-el...

Anytime I have coffee the effect is always the same. After about 5hrs I get severe anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure). I've tried everything from B supplements to taking Dopa precursors. I just call it quits because it makes me feel like my afternoon is in grayscale.

Long term, AI won't disrupt employment broadly across markets. Comparative advantage ensures human labor remains necessary even if AI becomes superior at specific tasks. Humans will stay essential for the bottlenecks in judgment and complex oversight. davidoks.blog/p/why-im-not...

While some people are familiar with Huxley's popular dystopian stories like Brave New World, he was proactive as an author and articulated what a pro-human moderately utopic society would be like. I often reflect on it and think of ways to refine or expand on these notions.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

As any good gardener knows, healthy growth requires a harmonious ecology. Mycelium survived 700 million years by learning to symbiotically integrate with its neighbors. To become that of which overabundant vitality overflows is an authentic act of transcendence.

New Linux benchmark today from Phoronix: "After 60 benchmarks on these Linux distros, CachyOS overall was around 7% faster than Fedora 43 or 10% faster than Ubuntu. Ultimately it comes down to what workloads you engaged in whether the performance is compelling." www.phoronix.com/review/cachy...

Simple common sense advise worth stating. Do not buy from brands that do not even have a website. Bonus advise: do not buy from brands that don't even offer a 1yr warranty. It's going to be literal junk.

Oh, random tip, if you ever need to replace a toilet, get one with a modern 'pressure tank' (e.g. Kohler highline pressure lite). Got my old one replaced yesterday as it was leaking and now it flushes now like a beast!! 🐉 #homeimprovements

One of the books I revisit every year is Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg (a Michigander prison psychologist). Beyond the title, the book is a pragmatic guide for how to foster meaningful conversations. It's so good that it's a new required reading at Microsoft.

Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."

If NPCs are programmed to follow the rules, then maybe PCs are all about bending or breaking them. This raises a good question: What's the real difference between a heroic PC and an equally heroic NPC? A player can toss the rulebook and scripts to stay true to their own character.

One thing that is really lacking from AI art is 'creative weirdness'. This old D&D book illustration as an example is so creatively imperfect that I can immediately tell it's human made.

I just can't ever see buying a product online when all its product pictures are AI generated/filter. I don't care how well the actual product details are preserved, the fact is I'm now suspicious enough to just buy from another vender, even if on-paper they are not as good.
