finally got to the moment where plinky 12" prototype had ... plinkyness. ive been discouraged by the project for a few months because i couldnt find what i wanted with it, but this hastily grabbed (glitchy, debug build, phone audio) clip while debugging was the first time it was fun to noodle on

if we don't act now, the other team will have the only orphan crushing machine in the industry; this is quite simply unacceptable

Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I’ll use floating point.” Now they have 2.10000000000000008882 problems.

Just so sad and angry about what's happening in the UK thanks to a small group of hateful transphobes and a much larger group of people who should do better but let the bigots walk all over them.

Why are the showing Bodger Johnson's wedding after the King? It was yonks ago.

The "s" goes at the start not the end.

Can someone explain how both my mother (b. 1941) and myself (b. 1961) can be boomers?
It's stupid!

Nostalgia ain't not what it oughtn't used to not be.

Also, OK boomer.

Experimenting with this look for the fractals.

a comic. Panel 1, caption text: the last thing my mom said to me was— “you’ve become a great mother, I’m so proud.” I said, “mom, I wouldn’t be the person I am without you.” I am holding her left hand with both of my hands. Panel 2, caption text: actually, she said a lot between then and the end. “Can I get you anything?” I asked. “Some water would be nice,” she said. Panel 3, caption text: “if I try to remember the last words she said to me, I think they were like— “emma, help” I drew medication from a bottle into a syringe. “Sorry, sorry— I’m drawing another dose. Just a second I’m so sorry” Panel 4, caption text: “and the absolute last thing she said to me was—“ “ok,” I said, “are you feeling more comfortable?” She replies, “mmm”

the last thing my mom said to me—

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

A shelter received a donation of stuffed toys and let each dog pick 1.
How selfless. They each only pick 1.

There seems to be a view held by far too many people that if you’re in receipt of benefits then your life, sorry existence should be fucking grim and miserable and visibly so.

Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive? Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

fucking hell, indeed

jesus christ, not sure what it is today but every single post about every single piece of news is just harrowingly depressing, from Reform racism and RFK on vaccines to unhinged BBC attacks on Reeves and the horrors in Palestine, could we not maybe have a gentler start to the week, fucking hell

Photograph of part of the southern sky showing the Southern Cross and Alpha Centauri nearby. Neither are visible from Europe.

If you boarded a spaceship moving at light-speed, in just over four years you’d reach Alpha Centauri, our nearest neighbouring star. Four years of flight, and the scale of home would already begin to dissolve into something both tiny and strange, but weirdly familiar. 1/7

Me on a candlelit vigil for AIDS in 1987.

Me last week. Looking pretty healthy for 58 (28 years living with HIV).

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
Many of my friends had died of AIDS. I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 58 now.
HIV treatment works.
Treatment also makes it impossible for me to pass HIV on during sex.
Ensure HIV treatment for all.
End HIV stigma.
