from lao tzu's's tao te ching (leguin's rendition)
excerpt from the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, as translated and interpreted by Ursula K LeGuin, including a footnote from the latter

76
Hardness

Living people
are soft and tender.
Corpses are hard and stiff.
The ten thousand things, the living grass, the trees, are soft, pliant.
Dead, they're dry and brittle.

So hardness and stiffness go with death;
tenderness, softness, go with life.

And the hard sword fails, the stiff tree's felled.
The hard and great go under.
The soft and weak stay up.

---

In an age when hardness is supposed to be the essence of strength, and even the beauty of women is reduced nearly to the bone, I welcome this reminder that tanks and tombstones are not very adequate role models, and that to be alive is to be vulnerable.excerpt from the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, as translated and interpreted by Ursula K LeGuin

78
Paradoxes
Nothing in the world
is as soft, as weak, as water; nothing else can wear away the hard, the strong, and remain unaltered.
Soft overcomes hard, weak overcomes strong.
Everybody knows it, nobody uses the knowledge.

So the wise say:
By bearing common defilements
you become a sacrificer at the altar of earth; by bearing common evils you become a lord of the world.

Right words sound wrong.

They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

Reddit post by a user in r/decomps that reads: "Batman: Arkham Asylum (Xbox 360) now runs natively on windows, no emulator: static recompilation + a Vulkan renderer. Android is next"

Attached is a picture of the game supposedly running "natively"Comments from the same reddit post;
User 1: There's literally already a PC port of this game.

User 2: And, unlike most ports from those days, it has zero compromises, it is superior to the consoles version in every way possible.

User 3: And it's always like 5 dollars

The original Google search algorithm that was wizard magic was machine learning. Same with videogame enemies learning flocking techniques and figuring out how to beat you based on your tendencies. LLM stans fucked this up just let the scam artists define what AI is now because they are dumb.

I can’t emphasize this enough — “AI” wasn’t born corrupt and toxic. For ~75 years, it was mathematicians and scientists doing interesting, thoughtful work and trying to solve problems, making only the usual human mistakes. What “AI” did to machine learning is as tragic as what it did to artists.

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

CNN making this sound more mysterious than it is. It was Yersinia pestis, the plague, the researcher died because she inhaled it into her lungs and developed pneumonic plague, there is no danger but to those directly exposed in the lab. Fear-mongering in the time of global terror is a sick choice.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward
