Konstantin Tsiolkovsky (@rocketscienceman): "My neighbor told me he keeps running out of Delta v so I asked how much fuel he has and he said he just goes to the design and adds more fuel tanks so I said it sounds like he's just using fuel to launch more fuel and then his payload capacity started crying."

Much the same in software. There must be a new synthesis position that we need *model-building* with AI, not just bug-fixing. We cannot build things worth keeping and sharing by stumbling forward ever faster. You need to be able to understand what you're building and why, and share it with others.

This is Charles Clyde Ebbets, the photographer who took the iconic “Lunch atop a Skyscraper” picture. Look at this fearless, dapper fuck wearing spats, suspenders, and a tie 850 feet above the ground. Absolute legend.

When it is time to do the year-end wrap up, inside you there are two wolves: One says "HOW DARE YOU?" and recites your achievements like Daenerys Targaryen about to burn a city. One says "Oh, nevermind. I have no memory of anything I have accomplished. Truly, I have achieved nothing this year."

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' 
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Nintendo Gamma Boy
A picture of a Nintendo Gamma Boy. It's kind of a geiger counter but looks just like a nintendo Game Boy. It has a Select, Start, and a knob to select options, and a Beta and Alpha button in that reddish pink. On screen is a little needle showing up to about 3.6 roentgen. to the left of the screen is a Battery and a Drop & Run indicator.

I used to love computers. Computers reify math/logic into reality. Silicon Valley exists to chase money but at least it offered a living working on math/logic. Now not even that. Hard logic is old-fashioned. Silicon Valley is for vibe coding with $$$s in your eyes and little else.
