free speech, but we own the rights to what you say and how you say it, basically

to close the loop, that's why it is more of a social problem than a technical problem

more people can understand computers, but the people that already understand computers have a vested interest in less competition, which in practice leaves software only in the hands of "super admins"

i feel like elaborating, since this appears radical on the surface, but is actually really tame

i'm not advocating for any new programming languages, compilers, or compile targets

i'm advocating for using the subset of every programming language that's functional and therefore naturally rpc-ready

part of the depth of my hypothesis goes so far as to claim that how we think about computers limits the types of computers we get

we always end up with “admin” systems because “serious” programs are written using “class based hierarchical inheritance”

defeat the class system, defeat the admins.

went to a professional baseball game

sitting in the bleachers in the outfield

guy near me was heckling the right fielder of the home team

he got kicked out and as he’s being escorted away he yells

“you don’t understand! i want you to do better, you’re on my fantasy team!”

Coooool... ?

it is pretty wild that some shows ran (run) for so long that they can be stations in their own right

(demo)

autocorrect switched demo to deno because i do text deno a lot since that’s what powers the demo

A screenshot of a bluesky client with the code for the client visible, where the user changed their background color to pink.

Did a Plan98 "remix bluesky client in bluesky client" deno at the @archive.org put on by @tessa.germnetwork.com and @knowtheory.net Thanks!!!

Anyways, there was a bug, this is the patch on tangled (it'd be cool if my editor just saved tangled git)

i didn’t realize shatner’s reflection on space was also an evisceration of billionaires.

“as a regular dude, i still identify with the humans”

to be fair, he likely wrote this after watching the video of himself getting champagne toasted.

my favorite managers discouraged bad time management like weekend or late night commits, since it creates funky team dynamics where now people that have stable output lean towards erring on burnout to also appear to be a hard worker

the one thing anyone capturing these videos can do to help trace these illegal agents is to record both the license plates and the vin numbers in the same footage to show the discrepancy

fake agents are swapping license plates, but you can’t fake the vin, so you document both identity and crime

OpenAI is losing money on its pricey ChatGPT Pro plan, CEO Sam Altman says | TechCrunch OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says that the company is currently losing money on its $200-per-month plan because people use it more than expected.

how many tax dollars do we wager on "useful"?

the math is easy

everyone made a secure account with a password they forgot

then everyone made a second account with the same password they always use

i met a guy at a networking event a few months back

he advertised his services as LLM SEO— he pads the data that gets scraped by these AI companies to recommend the content, products and services of his clients

so i agree with you, but the future is a little gray from it

sorry for the spam, but really, really amused at the idea of one model perfecting the art of pinkies, but only able to render all fingers as pinkies.

really amused at the idea of a reality check being
