peat @peat.org · 21/09/2026Spent some time this summer touching grass and shooting street portraits with the locals. I'm on the hunt for a new series now that the weather's turning ... 170
peat @peat.org · 21/09/2026Do it! That’s awesome. I always offer to send people prints. TFP but like … wholesome? 😁 A lot of people don’t have good pictures of themselves and appreciate it. 110
peat @peat.org · 21/09/2026Street portraits are my jam. I’m pretty shy by default. My camera is like a magical passport to get access to communities and meet interesting people I wouldn’t otherwise have access to. 😁 110
peat @peat.org · 21/09/2026I feel this! I love photography and have shot (on and off) for 30 years. Getting paid for it and trying to make a living was a brutal grind and sucked the joy out of it. Now I just shoot for fun, on my own terms … and I love it more than I ever have. 110
peat @peat.org · 05/09/2026Formal proofs are the ultimate intoxicant for deterministic systems. 😅 100
peat @peat.org · 05/09/2026… the big ERPs are Actually Bad because humans aren’t good at counting things on shelves and the (very few) immutable bitemporal implementations are expensive AF and built on platforms that are extremely exposed to the AI bubble. Except for SAP. They’re just expensive AF. 100
peat @peat.org · 05/09/2026I’ve loved the practical problems of CAP since Sir Aphyr Kingsbury did terrible and wonderful things to databases back in The Day. Now I’m working through some hard problems with proving correctness in high volume distributed inventory systems, and I’m feeling thankful for what Twitter used to be. 110
peat @peat.org · 05/09/2026Learning about TLA+ may have been a mistake. Now I want a much faster computer. 250
peat @peat.org · 03/09/2026... All I really want for Christmas are legal penalties for companies trying to pass off their shitty AI golems as real humans. 020
peat @peat.org · 31/05/2026I suspect y'all would love @sachajudd.com's newsletter. This week was particularly awesome -- about art, AI, and human labor. newsletter.sachajudd.com/archive/made... (photo from a presentation by Jae Lubberink) 041
peat @peat.org · 30/05/2026High resolution! No forced cropping! www.flickr.com/photos/miste...flickr.comUntitled 000
peat @peat.org · 30/05/2026Really loving how clean the Flickr experience is. No algorithms or advertising stupidness. Huge photos. Clear licensing. So many great artists. I'm grinding on getting more of my photos posted ... there's a few years to catch up on! www.flickr.com/photos/miste...flickr.comPeat BakkeExplore Peat Bakke’s 823 photos on Flickr! 130
peat @peat.org · 26/05/2026I had to double check to make sure that was what I thought it was, not what I was afraid it was, given, you know, what you’re famous for. 120
peat @peat.org · 25/05/2026Happy Monday! Please enjoy a conversation about how to effectively tax billionaires and address economic inequality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jRn...youtube.comThe economist billionaires fear: this is how we get a wealth taxYouTube video by Garys Economics 000
peat @peat.org · 24/05/2026... that's quite a boat. I'll ask around and, would love to get pics I can forward. Feel free to hit me at peat@peat.org. 220
peat @peat.org · 23/05/2026Hey all! I'm hosting a workshop about freelancing as a software developer, geared for people who are new to the biz. I'm aiming for late June, and I'd love to hear from you: What topics are you interested in? What format works for you? forms.gle/qocSwYeiGfDZ... (Reposts always appreciated. ❤️) 043
peat @peat.org · 09/09/2025Y'all know what I love? In a dark way. Bad! Not good! I love when people come back to some kind of grounded, well researched truth. In this case: nerding out about chemistry and stumbling into the seedy Montanto shit show. Click bait? Yes. Accurate? Also yes? www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxVX...youtube.comExposing Why Farmers Can't Legally Replant Their Own SeedsYouTube video by Veritasium 043
peat @peat.org · 09/09/2025Unpopular opinion incoming. The problem isn't capitalism. It's assholes. [redacted exposition on assholes redefining capitalism and perverting Adam Smith's invisible hand] [redacted fanfic about invisible hands and assholes] [revolution] And kids, that's how @buttplug.engineer became emperor. 160
peat @peat.org · 09/09/2025System prompt: Tell me I'm a piece of shit and fight me on everything; you better have evidence you can back up with citations. I'm gonna look at every thing you send me with caustic cynicism and criticism. Fuck you. [6 months later] I can't wait to tell LinkedIn about how amazing I am OMG. 041
peat @peat.org · 09/09/2025Ahh, the Golden Era between Hoover and (checks notes) ... well, shit. Godamn. Fuck me. 000
peat @peat.org · 09/09/2025The best and worst thing about being an American who (kinda) speaks German is understanding what Germans are saying about Americans these days. 😅 020
peat @peat.org · 09/09/2025Welcome to being an Old And Respected Person and/or a spam target ... but assuming good intentions: hell yeah! The kids are alright! This is actually awesome. The question is not if the kids are alright. The question is how you want to help. ... and/or how you can improve your spam filters. 😅 110
peat @peat.org · 09/09/2025"Good for business." Holy shit does that mean a lot of things. Pretending to be an F100 company, defending your turf and protecting your wealth ... ... or being an entrepreneur, and taking a fair shot at solving other people's problems? Defending yourself vs. solving bigger problems. Hmm. 🤔 010
peat @peat.org · 09/09/2025I don't share this lightly. I believe @devingaffney.com and the @graze.social team are working toward a future that transcends borders and bank accounts. "Decentralization" is a word that scares people with too much money and power. Fuck 'em. Let them be scared. Let's build something better. ❤️ 1100
peat @peat.org · 09/09/2025The antidote to "MCU fatigue" is the Gen Z version of a low-fi flick about a guy drilling his head because of math, or maybe a bunch of shitty people monologuing and murdering to a retro soundtrack. Aronofsky is 56. Tarantino is a Boomer. ... but I'm old. Who are the filmmakers I'm missing out on? 010
peat @peat.org · 27/08/2025Don’t give up on your dreams, Jerry. With enough effort, anything can be a file system. 040
peat @peat.org · 15/05/2025Yeah it was. I'm all for some solid sci-fi psych thrillers. I would put the Murderbot series in that bucket. 😁 020
peat @peat.org · 15/05/2025I'm disappointed with recent dystopian fiction. "The Ministry of the Future" and "Fall" and others ... Blockchain? Singularity? AI? They focus on tech, not humanity. The joy (uhhh?) of 1984 and F451 isn't the technology, it's the psychology. What's a good, modern, human centric, dystopian fiction? 370
