The TV show Furious is the most satisfying 8 episodes of American tv I’ve seen. Every aspect from the writing to the acting to the cinematography to the soundtrack focused on the weight of the central theme.

The new Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith album -- "RUIN: It's Not Just Music" is a dnb album where she brings her immaculate sound design and layering to it in such a way as to create a set of songs that sound fresh on any system you play it on, only in pre-release but every track rules so far

Wildest thing is that jwz’s bbdb extension for gnus (emacs email client) felt more like AI than most LLM offerings do now. Still wishing more folks would copy what it did effortlessly.

Had someone contact me over Facebook because they bought a guitar I had once owned and posted about. They’d restored it a bit more (it was in bad shape when I got it) but it was so cool to see it in even better shape.

Been listening to a lot of sci fi in the past couple months and just picked up “When There Are Wolves Again” and although it’s sold as sci fi and I’m sure it is, the emotional gravity of it is like Jupiter compared to the moon of most classic sci fi.

When multiple agents reason in parallel it is easy to merge their textual outputs, but very hard to merge their, richer, latent abstractions. We provide a first solution to this problem that also delivers CRDT properties.

Kimi K3's weights were released, making it the most powerful open weights model in the world. Been reading it since it came out, page one starts strong: mostly negatives, a late run of zeros, and one unexpectedly large positive value.

If posts on social media refer to something I don’t know about in an oblique or humorous fashion without details I just let it go. The “what” is ephemera, and if it isn’t it will be revealed in time.

Seeing a lot of harsh noise, screaming into effects pedals style shows in my late teens early twenties prepared me a bit for having a toddler scream “no” in my ear with my watch warning me about the decibel levels.

Followed a random review for new hard sci fi and got what was clearly a mainly LLM output book. Including 1 paragraph with 3 em dashes. It was unreadable after noticing, it just felt hollow and formulaic down to the sentence structure.
