Physics Nobel announcement tomorrow.
If you know and dislike a famous physicist, this is the day of the year to call them up in the middle of the night, wait 10 seconds, and then do you best Swedish Chef impression...
Here’s part 1 of our four-part Better Offline case against generative AI. I walk you through how generative AI is sold through a complete misunderstanding of the concept of labor - and myth-building by companies like NVIDIA and OpenAI.

Here's the latest episode of Better Offline. I'm joined by Steve Burke of @gamersnexus.bsky.social to talk about the black market for AI GPUs in China - and how Bloomberg suspiciously forced YouTube to take his video about it down.

Here's this week's Better Offline monologue, where I consider what would happen if I'm right about the AI bubble bursting - and the consequences of both three years of myth-peddling journalism and markets addicted to growth at all costs.

We built the simplest possible social media platform. No algorithms. No ads. Just LLM agents posting and following.
It still became a polarization machine.
Then we tried six interventions to fix social media.
The results were… not what we expected.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.
There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.
Arrrrrgh

The instructions in this video are basically my SOP whenever I buy in audible: buy -> download -> convert
All using FOSS tools. Granted, not the friendliest approach but it has worked wonders for me after Audible removed audiobooks from my library

When people say STEM they seem to really only mean T and a subset of E that supports T.
They almost never mean knot theory or evolutionary biology or topology or paleontology or sociology.
They just mean fad CS and EE and for some reason MBAs.
I’m shocked, shocked I tell you that the antivaxxers would create a blog, call it a journal, and then spread misinformation on it
