Look, studying changes what you know, and a test is about what you know, so it's a type of cheating. I told my students that all the time when I was still teaching.

About yourself specifically, it seems you hold some opinions. One is that you are important overall anyway. Another opinion is identity.

If you ever wondered why visible light is those particular wavelengths, it's because life evolved to see in the narrow range where water is transparent

how do we deal with abundance? how can we deal with abundance in a way that we would like? i am starting to feel that one of the ways in which a government can allow us the pursuit of happiness, is to prevent things which remove our slack.

Only the first and second rows of the periodic table are conscious, so stars are conscious but LLMs aren't. That's why stars only make the heavier elements when they die.

We put our superhuman stratego paper on arxiv almost a year ago. And then, because it was under review at Nature, we just didn't talk about it for a year. And, mostly, no one noticed it existed (as we hoped)! So, a direct lesson in the importance of publicizing your work. arxiv.org/abs/2511.07312

i learned the drums as one of my first instruments. the way you set up a drumkit to play comfortably is: you sit on the seat, rest your feet where feels good. place the pedals there. grab a pair of sticks and airdrum. place drums there. this informed a lot of my approach to building tools, i think.

Are Linux and Open Source Un-American?
Community
by Steve Coe
on February 21, 2001

Jim Allchin, Microsoft Windows operating system chief, was quoted in an article about open source last week. I advise any Linux user to go and read it if you haven't already, as it's great comedy material.

According to the hive mind of Microsoft, open source should be made illegal. There's no way around it, this is the bottom line. Want to write your own code and release it into the community? Congratulations, come with us Sir/Madam, we have this nice little grey room for you. Don't worry about the bars on the windows, they are there for our protection in case you somehow manage to write a graphics viewer or a Perl script to terrorize the world.

Ordinarily, a mere underling like Mr. Allchin wouldn't be taken too seriously, but Microsoft speaks with one voice, and we all know who he is channeling.

As a member of the Linux and Open Source communities, I am appalled and outraged by his comments and wish to respond. The article shows Microsoft is scared. Very scared. So, will they build a better product? Nah, to hell with it, they'll just get the government to outlaw the competition.

Maybe one reason Jev and ChatJimmy got so much attention is that speed has a quality all on its own. Interaction models and fast local models are an exciting niche. But Brett Victor disciples already knew this: bsky.app/profile/hars...

The two facts about the labor market to keep in mind are: 1.) The employment rate is unusually high. 2.) The hiring rate is unusually low. The hiring rate is *especially* low given that the hiring rate is usually positively correlated with employment! www.theargumentmag.com/p/the-tinder...
