"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

Coding After Coders: The End of Computer Programming as We Know It In the era of A.l. agents, many Silicon Valley programmers are now barely programming. Instead, what they're doing is deeply, deeply weird.

I think this is the only time I've ever seen the cost of cloud hosting go up instead of down. we can thank AI for driving up demand for memory and storage 😔

On AI slopification: "What's dispiriting is the (lack of) process and care: take someone's carefully crafted work, run it through a machine to wash off the fingerprints, and ship it as your own. This isn't a case of being inspired by something and building on it. It's the opposite of that."

Sometimes using chatgpt for coding is like having a Terminator that trips every ten steps. It's shooting people, changing shape, doing badass stuff!! Then it trips over its own two feet and you have to pick it up. Every ten steps. Sure, a Terminator sounds cool but this feels kind of stupid.

Phrygian cap A soft conical cap pulled forward. In sculpture, paintings and caricatures it represents freedom and the pursuit of liberty. The popular cartoon characters The Smurfs wear white Phrygian caps.

Doing some hat research and...I guess I didn't realize that the Smurfs were a symbol of liberty?

My neighbor told me he keeps losing falcons to the widening gyre so I asked how many falcons he has and he said he just goes to the falconry and gets a new falcon afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding falcons to drown with the ceremony of innocence and then Yeats started crying.

Kioxia's memory is "sold out" for 2026, prolonging a "high-end and expensive phase" Kioxia is spinning up more manufacturing capacity, but relief will come slowly.

While RAM kits have been hit the fastest and hardest by AI-induced shortages and price increases, we shouldn’t expect SSD pricing to improve any time soon, either.

“But what deeply troubles me now is that for all the steps we've taken toward integration, I've come to believe that we are integrating into a burning house." 

Dr. King said this famous quote on March 27th, 1968, mere days before his murder. But the context around the quote is interesting...

I think a good way to shift the discussion of AI and LLMs is to intensively and constantly highlight these uses. I'm willing to believe they exist (they have to, right?) but it's missing in the discourse

is anyone fighting for AI to really and truly benefit humanity right now? everything I see just furthers the value capture by capital. apologies if this comes off as a troll, I'm genuinely curious what this actually looks like in practice

This is a pretty cool publication.

Charts like this kill me. In a good way.

The Resonant Computing Manifesto Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

I really like the critique of the current status quo and the thoughtful principles set forth. I'm much less certain that AI can or will play the role that this manifesto imagines.

Rainbow Wool Rainbow Wool is the first fashion made from the wool of gay sheep to support queer projects across the globe. #🌈🐏

One in twelve rams are gay!!! And farmers kill them bc they won’t breed instead of allowing them to live out a quiet life of producing wool for freaks like me!!!

We have long known that people retain more from doing synthesis themselves than from a prepared summary. And yet, papers have abstracts, journals have review essays, and the web has Wikipedia. People decide for themselves—not always rightly!—when to consult the full text of original sources.

First they came for AWS
And I did not speak out
Because Canvas was down and that was fine by me.

Then they came for Cloudflare
And I did not speak out
Because I didn't need the textbook website.

Then they came for GitHub
And there were no more internet services
For me to use to get work done.

Newspaper with headline “Party divided over sex clams”

Happy Sex Clams anniversary to all who celebrate. And we all celebrate.

Years ago, I worked on a free tax filing service that was pitched as an anti-poverty initiative: most people who don't file (for various reasons, including cost) usually get money back. Killing Direct File is not just a waste of resources, but a missed opportunity to help alleviate poverty.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Greg Newby, who led Project Gutenberg ( @gutenberg.org ) with passion and purpose. Greg’s belief in free and open access to knowledge continues to inspire us and so many others working to preserve our shared culture online. gutenberg.org/about/newby....

Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:
