The AI bubble looks a lot like the dotcom bubble including the naysayers. My advice to friends: 1. Valuations will eventually crash. Manage your finances accordingly. 2. AI usage will keep growing and permeate every facet of life. Figure out how it’ll affect your career and plan accordingly.

in your next zoom interview have not only a cup of ice coffee but seven or eight different cups of various beverages just off camera and casually drink from each of them throughout the interview the drinks should have fancy straws or colorful parasols or large pieces of fruit on the edge of the cup

There’s no doubt that AI is a bubble. But the mistake many are making is thinking AI is a bubble like NFTs when in reality AI is a bubble like the internet was.

Magical video by Mike Nulty (@nuttynulty on IG) of a whale shark (Rhincodon typus) off the coast of Baja, swimming through reflective plankton or debris that look like stars. Space whale-shark! 🦈✨ Let's talk about /actual/ glowing sharks, the lantern sharks of family Etmopteridae. (📷: Mike Nulty)

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...
[alt text by NASA] The Moon, seen here backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse on April 6, 2026, is photographed by one of the cameras on the Orion spacecraft’s solar array wings. Orion is visible in the foreground on the left. Earth is reflecting sunlight at the left edge of the Moon, which is slightly brighter than the rest of the disk. The bright spot visible just below the Moon’s bottom right edge is Saturn. Beyond that, the bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars. Credit: NASA

This is why I keep pitching Octopus Jeopardy, a 100% all-octopus spinoff. Everyone tells me it’s a terrible idea but I think it has legs.

I certainly won't claim that all human scientific endeavors have always been good and noble and without any suffering to humankind. But I will say that the scientific impulse--the curiosity that drives us to work together to understand our universe--is one of my very favorite things about humanity.

An LLM is like having an overconfident intern with infinite capacity for work. The mistake is thinking you can replace experienced employees with it but it’s a force multiplier if well supervised. AGI will be like an experienced coworker with infinite capacity. At that point, we will need new jobs.

What an incredible photo. On Sunday, astro-photographer Andrew McCarthy captured the moment the International Space Station passed across our sun.
The frame is dominated by the burning sun, a mass of swirling inferno. In the bottom half of the picture, the silhouette of the ISS is clearly visible. Photo credit to Andrew McCarthy.

Now that ruffle.rs is so good, I am starting to consider switching back to Flash for prototyping and procedural art. My 10-year old Unity games don't run at all. My 20-year old Flash games run better than ever. And the Flash APIs were *so good* for games. They put Canvas / SVG / DOM to shame.

File over app · 2023 stephango.com/file-over-app
File over app is a philosophy: if you want to create digital artifacts that last, they must be files you can control, in formats that are easy to retrieve and read. Use tools that give you this freedom.

File over app is an appeal to tool makers: accept that all software is ephemeral, and give people ownership over their data.

In the fullness of time, the files you create are more important than the tools you use to create them. Apps are ephemeral, but your files have a chance to last.

The ancient temples of Egypt contain hieroglyphs that were chiseled in stone thousands of years ago. The ideas hieroglyphs convey are more important than the type of chisel that was used to carve them.

The world is filled with ideas from generations past, transmitted through many mediums, from clay tablets to manuscripts, paintings, sculptures, and tapestries. These artifacts are objects that you can touch, hold, own, store, preserve, and look at. To read something written on paper all you need is eyeballs.Today, we are creating innumerable digital artifacts, but most of these artifacts are out of our control. They are stored on servers, in databases, gated behind an internet connection, and login to a cloud service. Even the files on your hard drive use proprietary formats that make them incompatible with older systems and other tools.

Paraphrasing something I wrote recently:

"If you want your writing to still be readable on a computer from the 2060s or 2160s, it’s important that your notes can be read on a computer from the 1960s."

You should want the files you create to be durable, not only for posterity, but also for your future self. You never know when you might want to go back to something you created years or decades ago. Don’t lock your data into a format you can’t retrieve.

These days I write using an app I help make called Obsidian, but it’s a delusion to think it will last forever. The app will eventually become obsolete. It’s the plain text files I create that are designed to last. Who knows if anyone will want to read them besides me, but future me is enough of an audience to make it worthwhile.

This is my all time favorite piece of short fiction and I really encourage taking the brief moment it takes to read it. It so beautifully captures time, place, and feeling

Okay, I'm just going to come out & say it: I don't know why no one ever discusses this publicly because I feel like deep down, we all know that this is absolutely true but can someone PLEASE explain to me why I've never seen anyone discussing how spectacular pelicans would be at trick-or-treating?
