This is incredible. The art invokes the late, great Bernie Wrightson, especially from Cycle of the Werewolf! Thank you for sharing!

The Resonant Computing Manifesto Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worstβ€”a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that.

Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us.

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

Federal appeals normally take over 2 YEARS, start to finish.

Here, the circuit court moved heaven and earth and produced its unanimous 61-page order, affirming the district court, less than 3 WEEKS after the district court's.

The Supreme Court just nuked it without a syllable of explanation.

Paper Map Generator

I don't know who needs to hear this, but there's a rad fanmade beta tool that converts your images of battle maps for tabletop roleplaying, scales them to the proper size, then exports them to a PDF for printing and assembly on the tabletop. LITERAL game changer.

Chatbots β€” LLMs β€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re β€œright” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

When Senator Bill Cassidy announced he would vote to confirm RFK Jr, he included this in his statement:

β€œIf confirmed, he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes.”

WITHOUT CHANGES.

the american electoral system is basically 500,000 information-resistant people across a handful of states taking a guess and then going "haha! oops!" every two years. this process takes 18 months and costs four trillion dollars every time

Richard Norton was a wonderfully talented stunt performer, stunt coordinator, and actor. He was also a friend. I met Richard as the fight choreographer on The Suicide Squad; he choreographed the Harley escape scene, Peacemaker vs Rick Flag Jr. and more.
