City doomerism is the regurgitation of social media algorithms optimized for rage bait. A decent indicator that they have stopped critically consuming media and their other opinions are equally shallow and worthless.

How the universe stores information Simulating a better system.

A great observation that can help discern who’s selling you snake oil.

Worth a watch:

Head of Signal, Meredith Whittaker, on so-called "agentic AI" and the difference between how it's described in the marketing and what access and control it would actually require to work as advertised.

Writing code will be a pedagogical tool like practicing math by hand before being able to use a calculator.

Writing code can be a bottleneck, but it also builds understanding and develops taste. I'm hopeful both can be had with tooling that will become table stakes to handle the influx of infinite monkeys coding. Such tools will be equally helpful with legacy code.

Universe is telling me to pack it in for the day with these Google Cloud and Cloudflare outages.

@stevekrouse.com has a great take on vibe coding. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WC8...

He and the other tech-right oligarchs need the truce because it’s hard to be a mouthpiece when your opinions are sourced from two differing sides.

Currently in Atlanta, have been pleasantly surprised with the tree coverage, neighborhoods, and bikeability of the Eastside via the Beltline.

The more the AI bubble inflates the more I want dependent types and simple functional program calculation.

Boggles the mind how the rich and powerful have traded their independence to paint themselves into a reactive corner defending every move Trump makes.

I’ve found it to be a great personal litmus test when engaging with someone. Why are we punishing children for things out of their control? Peer stigma of having subsidized lunch vs. normal hot lunches. Improvements in focus and test scores. Expand to breakfast. Provide access during holidays.

“a number of weeks” is doing a lot of work here. What about the jobs that are only run once a quarter or once a year?

Swift Enums conforming to Codable without conforming to Int or String should throw a compiler error.

Great knowing VCs purchased their way into the GOP to gut the CFPB and SEC, and create a federal crypto reserve so the American public can bail them out of their crypto investments.

What's the point of being rich if you can't afford to do the right thing.

Fuzzy feeling knowing that billionaires believe the wealth they’ve accumulated is evidence of their great capital allocation skill and is deserved.

Hell yeah! 🙌

So now that tech bros have captured the U.S. government we are now subject to learning why federal agencies exist from “first principles” instead of, you know, reading about it.

Point-Free as a resource stands out as one of the best practical tutorials of functional concepts available. The active choice to refrain from the use of theoretical terms is commendable.

Yeah, my “never got around to” is doing similar heavy lifting.

I’ve just started some classics that I never got around to. Definitely enjoying critical editions that give extra context to the works.

Calcified contrarianism. They start spewing contrarian bull for the sake of it and because of their wealth they get celebrated for it. Seems to me wealth and social media algorithms have similar ratcheting mechanisms with no real release valve.
