Unlike in 2022/23 when elected representatives of the fiscal authority stepped in to halt inflation with politically popular tax increases?
MMT has had ample opportunity to cover itself in glory.
Just *killing it* man.

It made me existentially terrified for a week when I found out my RAM was completely rewriting itself multiple times a second.
They’re no longer a *proprietary* mess.
The docx xml closely resembles the old .doc binary format for backwards compatibility reasons. It retains the rolls of duct tape the whif of 3AM cocaine that made PC software work in the 80s. And it remains the hottest of hot, hot messes.
XML wrapped in a 35 year old compression format invented for use on dialup bulletin boards. Surely there is treasure inside.
A bit of silliness I made for my class:

FORTRAN 77 running in a Javascript interpreter. (The c bridge feels like a cheat, but I was in a hurry.)

Grant Sanderson is such a next level presenter. We all need to step up our game.

I can do the 10 miles now. With a lot of training I *think* I could do the tacos. The beers, no thanks.
At the peak of my fitness in College, I could maybe pull this off. 10 miles is easy. The beers would have made me sad, but doable. I’m most uncertain about the tacos.
Good luck in Mannheim. I’m not a travel-warrior, so I’m in the dark too, but I’d like to see if anyone has anything.
Yup. Paul is also a deeply unserious person. Which is weird, because back in the early 2000s he actually did seem like a serious person.
Makes me wonder if he secretly died and was replaced by a pre-GPT1 chatbot long ago.
Yes, yes, I know he has good genes, but good genetics only gets your career so far. When he finally retires, he should pivot to giving lifetime conditioning advice. Competing at that level, for that long in the NBA without career ending injuries is wild.
Oh, hi LeBron. 😎
I’ve never really cared for the Bluesky zeitgeist, and up until recently I’ve always looked upon Anthropic’s whole AI safety schtick as a bit silly and self aggrandizing. But when you just prove you’re serious by making the best stuff, you kind of earn the right to talk big.
Over the past few months, well before this whole DOJ blowup, I came to have enormous respect for Anthropic. (And yes, I know I’m late to this realization.) They are serious, hard core people doing actual hard core work building the future. Godspeed.
I just configured Claude Code to report the elapsed time completing a full set of tasks with that stupid Spongebob Squarepants meme:

I am a ridiculous person.
Political comedy does seems to have undergone a negative productivity shock.
Corrections aren’t market failures; they’re efficient responses to adverse productivity realizations.

Not enough “hey, read this poem you forgot about and probably never read” posts on this site. 👍

We should really just give up and live with periodically being hacked. Return to monke, i.e. the internet of the early 90s.
It does appear that there is will in Senate will stand up and do its Article 1 job.
This was usually from Americans in the States. I always figured the rationale for LAH-tech was that it is sorta pronounced like Lamport.
Though if my recollection is correct, Leslie Lamport had no guidance one way or another on how to pronounce it.
Weird. I feel like I used to encounter lah-tech a lot, and I couldn’t tell if it was a shibboleth.
I’ve heard “lah”-tech many times, but I’ve never heard “stah”-ta. Does anyone actually say it that way?
I was confused this morning, but I’m reassured now that I know this.
But in any case, you are right that the companies that did make LiDAR part of the whole suite are getting a big win from the costs coming down. 4/4
