AGI achieved

Worst. Episode. EVER.

None of these people are very bright. Yikes.

*raps* "I like murmur3 and I cannot lie."

Coinbase says that the SEC has agreed to drop the enforcement case against the company. It only cost them $75 million in political contributions.

USA hockey lost because of all their (checks notes) black women DEI players. Thank goodness Canada is here to expose the woke.

For six glorious months in 2020, all the blockchain and AI tech bros were #Zettelkasten productivity bros, and then #Roam fell. I'm sure their fling grifting for nerdy note taking is an infinite source of shame, so it's important to bring it up every once in awhile.

Artificially slowing down the repetition rate is not a formula for mastery of anything. Want to get good at stable deploys? Deploy more frequently, not less! Deploying once a week is its own stability risk. 30 minute sleep gates on deploy are neither necessary nor sufficient for stability.

🦊 Friday was my last day working at 18F. It was a team of extraordinary people, but a few things happened that made me realize I had to leave. Everything happens so much these days, so I thought I’d write down for myself what happened, and how I made my decision: ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/leavin...

Your Outie gets to use Emacs and Lisp while you slave in Macro Data Refinement without a proper macro system.

duckdb is the best TPC data generator! Don't bother building dsdgen—just use @duckdb.org instead. xuanwo.io/links/2025/0...

#OpenAI spent $14 million on a 60s animated ad buy made entirely by human artists.

Without setting out to do so, Andrew Krapivin recently upended the common thinking around hash tables — one of the best-studied tools in computer science. Steve Nadis reports: www.quantamagazine.org/undergraduat...

This is a fantastic idea. White conservatives should definitely pick a fight with Kendrick Lamar

I'm already a subscriber, but this was worth the entire year on it's own. @lopatto.bsky.social spitting fire

Vance is openly calling for the end of the constitutional order here, which is a betrayal of his oath of office. It is as plain as day now, Loper Bright ain’t gonna save you

Elon's geek squad hoovering up data at treasury, USAID and dozens of other agencies reads exactly like IBM's Dehomag and the German 1933 census.

But this will help pay for SpaceX next contract and tax cuts for our betters. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Sound up for this beautiful reminder that technology can still be a force for good, bringing profound, life-changing joy.

Currently reading: "IBM and the Holocaust: The Strategic Alliance between Nazi Germany and America's Most Powerful Corporation (Edwin Black, 2001)" for no particular reason. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_and...

Perhaps if he had not spent so much time playing video games so that he could be the #1 video game player he would know that the answer to this question is "All of them."

Making this same post on linkedin got me ratioed. Lol.

"Trump, with his character, with his persistence, he will restore order [in Europe] [...] they will all stand at the feet of the master and will wag their tails a little. The only master here is Putin the Master Puppeteer exploiting Mango Mussolini's daddy issues. www.cnbc.com/2025/02/03/p...

Can anyone stop President Musk?

The "comments are bad, code should be self documenting" crowd are the libertarians of programmers. It's a stage they hopefully grow out of. I did.

To my relatives that got all huffy when pointing out Trump's odious morality and policies and snarked back "well I don't care how bad he is I just want to pay less at the grocery store" (yes this happened) ... lol. Lmao, even.

I, for one, will never green light these people on a hiring board.

As GWB famously said after 9/11 "What is the site, rubble in lower Manhattan? Do you want me to dig for bodies?"

Our transportation secretary going full Clarke and Dawe should have been on my bingo card. "The one the front fell off?" "Well there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time and very seldom does anything like this happen."

The plan? To trick china into thinking we’ve given up on AI.
