the building in that photo is 100% made of concrete lol. the stone blocks are just veneer.

this means nothing. everything is "AI" now. if you had thought about this for more than five minutes you could've figured out that linguistic over-prescription doesn't make a specific underlying technology popular.

guys like this love to pretend to believe a thing that requires them to forget books exist. i don't need to hang out with losers to hear their arguments, man, we invented the printing press awhile back. i have read the literature of my enemies. i am familiar with their convictions.

i think i'm reasonably aware of what's going on in new music, listen to lots of new releases the week they come out, etc., and i've never heard this song. i only know who this singer is because she was recently embroiled in plagiarism allegations lol

also yeah, it is very funny to hold the belief that the free market is an effective means of determining the allocation of production capacity, while also believing that who ends up in what role in a productive enterprise should be determined by their beverage proclivities

you can find catalyst APs capable of running in autonomous mode for pretty dang cheap if you don't need wifi 7

(if you really wanna be a nerd about it i think you can make a good argument that the Moss Icon s/t from '91 is the first proper, not-just-a-hardcore-band emo album)

m w bowman @mw.brutalism.space · 24/09/2026

even if you wanna write off Embrace, Rites of Spring, etc. as not actually emo, actual factual emo was in full swing by the time Pinkerton came out. the Indian Summer s/t is '93, the Cap'n Jazz LP is '95, SDRE's Diary is '94, Mineral had a couple EPs out already...

we have control mechanisms for this. it's called The Law. these guys should be held personally liable for these harms. the suicides, the thefts, the intrusions into computer systems. they should be sued and prosecuted as appropriate. problem immediately solved

it's certainly going to be interesting to see the gap in "intellectual dexterity" between the people who are all-in on cognitive surrender and the people who largely eschew LLM usage over the next couple years

i think the coolguy opinion is probably to consider it hack or corny or whatever, but Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the Name" is an unimpeachably great work of countercultural propaganda

this has often been my pitch to people as to why they should learn about historical materialism. it inures you to so many annoying takes.

it doesn't seem like the article is actually saying they "do not believe in indirect spillover effects." it's saying they're not the correct tool for the job if you're trying to specifically address the affordability of housing for low income people. that seems pretty uncontroversially true.

do you have a desktop computer? the big barrier to entry for these trackers is having a computer that can keep seeding things 24/7

130

m w bowman @mw.brutalism.space · 21/09/2026

in the 2000s people set up invite-only torrent trackers, so that you could force people to seed their torrents on punishment of getting kicked off the tracker. those trackers or their predecessors are still around, and have stunningly large repositories of well-seeded, high-quality media.

private torrent trackers still going strong as hell
