The government is stealing trillions of your dollars per year to force you to own and drive a car everywhere you go so that autoworkers and Big Car executives can get rich.

I buy what I need for that day. Often just for the next meal I’m about to make. The notion of a “shopping trip” is so foreign to me I’d probably starve in the suburbs.

I knew advertising would start to catch up to anti-AI sentiment but did not expect it before like late 2027 tbh

Ugh

North Branch of the Chicago River shot from Lawrence looking north. An almost perfect gradient from deep indigo up to bright azure defined the sky and the water reflecting it, with the gradation interrupted only by distant clouds just in the horizon. And this big swathe of blue is cut into from either side by rough edges of bankside greenery converging at a point in the center.

North Branch of the Chicago River shot from Lawrence looking south. Same ridiculous nonsense as the previous except the trees are different, there are some high, diaphanous clouds in the sky and reflected in the water, and the sun has become stuck in one of the taller branches on the left.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

"china is charging their cars in less time than it takes you to fill up your F-150" is the kind of banal jingoism i always assumed would get us finally kicking it up a notch on serious infrastructure buildout but we were a lot more directly addicted to gasoline in addition to racism than i thought

Fully agree. I've been on a 🎢 coaster: ititial "good" LLMs made me worried, but revenue has increased 20% in the past year and we don't do AI. Good LLMs create business chaos, and I am a chaos enjoyer. Happy to talk agentic with clients, but the "expert" work is always that: talking. With humans.

I hate to do this with real data, but this is a persistent data vis issue in chromosome synteny riparian plots that we Need to get better at. Left, a synteny plot published today. Right, a rearranged version with exactly the same gross arrangement but with reordered chromosomes:

chromosome synteny riparian plot in which every chromosome has crossing lines

chromosome synteny plot in which no chromosomes have crossing lines. The underlying structure is identical.

I'll grant shoveling does suck and it's insane that clearing streets is handled communally but sidewalks falls to the adjacent homeowner. Everything else seems like someone wishing they didn't Live In A Society.

A friend of mine works in AI and thinks bad things are about to happen. He sold his home and moved his family out the country. He said that if you own a home in a walkable San Francisco neighborhood near a taqueria with good veggie options, you should sell your home for super cheap right now.

As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now. NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.
