‘writing crystallizes previously half-formulated or unformulated thoughts, gives them form, and extends chains of thoughts in new directions’ As everyone has already said, this 2010 essay by Lynn Hunt is utterly wonderful:

How Writing Leads to Thinking (and Not the Other Way Around) – AHA
Writing is stressful. Sitting in my computer chair my neck and shoulder muscles almost immediately tense up as I dig around in my brain for the best phrase or even any coherent string of words.

G1 publicou ontem uma notícia inventando uma personagem de Laura Cardoso que nunca existiu. Alucinação de IA entubada pelo repórter. A matéria foi reproduzida em vários sites e agora já aparece como sendo verdade em outras IAs. A internet morreu, só tem bot nessa porra

China built a 40-story tower that banks wind power by hoisting giant concrete blocks, then dropping them when the grid needs juice. A skyscraper-sized battery with no lithium in it.

I think AI is the best opening we've ever had to bring our engineering values to the mainstream, instead of the top single-digit-percent of teams it's always been. But nondeterminism will take more engineering discipline. Not less. charitydotwtf.substack.com/p/ai-demands...

A good cautionary tale for when someone claims that trusting data analysis done with an LLM is good because it’s “objective.” In this example, Copilot apparently decided to ignore the data it was given and just run with all the subconscious biases its (human-made) training data inevitably gave it.

something that wrinkles my brain every time I remember it is the fact that total eclipses are only possible on earth because the moon and sun appear to be the same size in our sky, due to the insanely, astronomically unlikely fluke that the moon is 400x smaller than the sun but 400x closer to us.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕
A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

It’s the Sete de Setembro – Brazil’s Independence Day – so it is only right that Coxinha, the emblematically Brazilian chicken croquette, is #RecipeOfTheDay! These, though, are mini versions, much more manageable for making at home. www.nigella.com/recipes/coxi...

“Capitalism breeds innovation” how much innovation has been lost to absolute poverty. Over people not having influence at their workplace. Over people not having access to education and training. This is a system that leaves innovation to an elite few. And then makes that innovation proprietary
