Swede here, 1-2 is actually not long enough to be an actual vacation.

Seriously, 2 weeks is barely a meditation retreat.

Apologies - I mean what is the “manual” part here? I don’t understand that part of the sentence structure in the OP. If this is an automated system test, what is the manual part of it?

But wasn’t the car manually driven at the point of the test? I.e. not full auto pilot which is the system that would have school bus training. I’m kind of confused about the parameters of the test

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

I am reading Daniel Levintins excellent book ”The Organized Mind” and this part perfectly explains why I sometimes get stuck in multi-hour obsessive TypeScript rabbit holes to create the perfectly (unnecessary) typed expression for a problem.

I love this format with @bashbunni.dev and I hereby promise publicly to try doing this. Also I so love the aesthetics and idea @charm.sh, makes me feel super great for some reason

As such, if we can make things like clocks but that FEEL more like time (and I suspect that the sun must be heavily involved here) and find a more visceral standard we can help a lot of people

Oh my god this is amazing!! I have been obsessed with increasing the “viscerality” of time since I learned that a core contributor to the ADHD symptom cluster is having a neurology with a malfunctioning internal clock (an actual measurable part), massive amounts of other problems arise from that

hmm should I make a Rough Regex course after my Dirty D3 series ends (in 2054)

💛🌻🎉 #dataviz

also loved this one @pjpscriv.com pjpscriv.com/day/ been getting into visualising time lately

God I love force directed graphs

thank you soooo much for this, Nicole! 💛I have never thought about the pull to open up the black boxes to be related to ADHD before (and when I think about it maybe I think it's rather more my less dominant autistic flair - but hey I'm not a neuroscientist, and it's an interesting thought 😃

💛It’s seldom one gets shoutouts for commercial partnerships, but @augmentcode.com really is that good - it’s really an incredible thing that a platform targeting large legacy codebases is free for OSS thx @adrienjoly.com

I'm obsessed with this:
Mystical, a visual representation of PostScript as magical symbols. What if software departments were catacombs of hooded figures scratching arcane circles into the dirt

I love love love this example, really visceral way of unstanding variance

Great thread on dataviz animation ❤️

Aren’t this a weeeeee bit … I dunno. Are you genuinely interested in having a discussion about this and and find nuance or do you just want to state your opinion and aren’t actually open to there being something interesting here? Cool if not, just want to know before I engage further.

I understand why one would be sceptical of a claim like this, but having watched West Wing I’m not sure why you’d have THAT high opinion of polls that a mere “lol” is sufficient. Prediction markets is a very old concept and isn’t tooooo shitty at predicting en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predict...

Also it’s not quite clear to me to what extent this is a critique of prediction markets in general or polymarket (the crypto degen comment implies this, but not sure)? If it is the latter, did PM deviate significantly from other prediction markets?

Sorry, that was a bit facetious. I understand the critique, and maybe it’s warranted, but critiquing predictions is somewhat problematic if one does not do predictions themselves - thus my question implied what the OP used for prediction themselves (and how that went)

What source did you cite?

Humanity may never be able to find a counter-example to Collatz conjecture if this package gets removed from npm.

Sorry for the radio silence. I was finding myself overextended and I had to do an abrupt refocus on getting videos out, and the newsletters naturally fell out of the rotation. I’m not gone, big things coming

I found this post today, years later (after searching for Vinge mentions on Bluesky and worries that he was a TESCREAL), and was very delighted (and amused) to read this as it suggests that he has multivalence. Thank you 😂
