Daniel Cardoso Llach

I shared this earlier with my 16 yo who plans to be a historian. He said, "Historians can do that?!" I was so happy to say that they do!

Estaba justo mirando Bluesky Ñ y bueno, tío, ya sabes. (Aunque tal vez es que aún es temprano.)

Tal vez haya datos sobre esto, pero mi impresión es que Bluesky es una plataforma predominantemente anglófona—y que además su parte hispana, ya de por sí limitada, es predominantemente ibérica.

I learn, reading U. Le Guin, that H. G. Wells called his early works (early examples of what later would be known as science fiction) as "scientific romances" or "fantasies of possibility."

A new heartland economy based on ICE warehouses and AI data farms.

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

The founder of Palantir retweeting this is just icing on the cake

I think they are -- and 100% agree they feel out of place there.

Gabions are quite useful in civil/road engineering as low cost containment walls. In that context they can be quite beautiful. Here, they don't. (They are not doing what they are supposed to do.) Perhaps a more inspired/refined Gabion recontextualization is Herzog & DeMeuron's Dominus Winery.

Or Latin America.

The fight against fascism is also a fight for a shared sense of reality. We see demagogues twisting the facts and blatantly lying, while legacy media are keen to present every story as a matter of conflicting interpretations. With social media drowning in #AIslop, this is only going to get worse

Human brains feed off of negativity. Negative thoughts are easily digested and play in a loop in your mind all of the time. The reality, however, is that there is also A LOT OF GOOD happening every single minute. You have to do more work to pay attention to the good but it's worth it.

Sancocho had a cameo in Mamdani's speech. Right on!

To my surprise, Mafalda is relatively well known in Italy.

How was Black Moth Super

this looks fantastic

Los procesadores de gráficas eran más simples y no podían calcular el efecto visual de la atmósfera (el "Z buffer"). El efecto es que todo se veía siempre enfocado, lo cual le da a las imágenes esa aura algo extraña y surreal. Es bonito el que ahora esta limitante tenga un cierto valor nostálgico.

Not sure who these contemporary Luddites are. But decentralizing AI technologies *is* core to so many critiques of AI today -- e.g. Gebru et al's DAIR stands literally for Distributed AI Research.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

We are about 0.3 news cycles from Mamdani-is-the-same-as Trump becoming centrist Democrats' main line of attack against the left.

Today in E-flux, a piece I wrote on the spatial and environmental politics of AI in the United States. In great company as part of the Technoecologies series curated by Nathalie Bredella and Grayson Bailey. www.e-flux.com/architecture...

Glad to hear. I know! And that's a fairly unusual conjugation. This one would also work and is perhaps a tad more tractable grammatically: "Y nos guste o no, estamos..."

I would humbly submit that the proper translation of the podcast's lovely intro is "Soy Adrián Doub. Y yo soy Moira Donegan. Y *gústenos* o no, estamos en la cama con la derecha."

Nothing to see here.

Fantastic. Is an English translation on the horizon?
