There's two kinds of social media: the broadcast/platform kind (blogs, Youtube); and the forum kind (forums, Reddit). Broadcast has one person speak to many, and comments - if they exist - are all about reacting to the post or video. With forums, someone might post something, but that's only […]

A gentle reminder that unsourced news stories are usually bullshit, even when they play to your biases about the Nazis all being Russian bots.

Coding agents reduce software development to a simple matter of: * specifying requirements * verifying correctness and quality * maintaining and operating software you didn't write As we all know, those have always been the easiest, most well-understood parts of the craft, so everything is fine!

Four billion phones ask one text file what time it is. One lecturer keeps it in his spare time. We counted the rest.

If I don't keep my car roadworthy and crash into yours, it hasn't gone "rogue", it's my negligence and I'm responsible. If my dog attacks you, I am liable. There are no rogue AIs, just negligent AI companies. Prosecute them.

So there's a frustrating thing with your native language: you speak it, but you don't *know* it. With my other languages I'll often know the rule, or pattern, or origin, or principle behind a language construct. Because I had to learn it to learn the language. But with my native language it's […]

Open Source hot take: A software project is allowed to be *done*. Not everything needs to add features or rewrite things. You can just be happy with functionality and focus on just maintainance. "Maintenance mode" is not always bad but can just show a mature product.

I think a lot of students—and unfortunately a lot of adults—think that what you learn in a degree is the _content_ of the degree, but really what you are studying is the _process_. Knowing what's in Canterbury Tales won't come up in your day to day life. As a rule no one is going to ask you to […]

As far as I can tell, the Navier-Stokes regularity problem has now been resolved in the most annoying way possible: - we have a single counterexample, not a general theorem; - we have no real idea how it was found, but it seems to have been existing ideas and a lot of elbow grease; - this makes […]

@SnoopJ No. No, no no, no. "Japanese is hard cause keigo." "Kanji is so difficult." Forget that - the punny slang is enough to tear your hair out. It's like a room full of 50-year old dads who think they're funny. Except they're actually 15 and also insufferable teenagers.

I was today years old when I realized that "自鯖" ("jisaba" - "self-mackerel") is slang for "自宅サーバー", "home server". I can conveniently blame my age for not understanding what the young'uns are talking about these days. Now excuse me while I adjust the onion hanging from my belt.
