Ah yes.

The worst day to trust things on the Internet.

It used to be so easy to tell fact from fiction, but now it's just all too plausible.

You like the things that can be made through sewing enough that the rest of it isn't an impediment?

If you crave wizard school fantasy, and wish to eschew Harry Potter, may I recommend Stealing from Wizards as a JKR spite read.

If you REALLY want to spite her, check our the many recs and deals from the ongoing #transrightsreadathon

I was tempted but instead i had a boat to be on instead. I'm hopeful the conference was a good time!

I guess the real question is what's the best way to make these publicly or lightly gated accessible without going down the full self designed could storage rabbit hole?

I took nearly 11k pictures with my fancy camera, and I'm expecting only about 300 will be any good. 1k on the outside. TBD how quickly I process them!

The most reliable policy is not having a source of randomness (human, or AI) enact it :p

The Importance Of Being Earnest (Full Show) | Take Your Seats | National Theatre at Home YouTube video by National Theatre

I recognize this isn't my usual style of post, but! Are you a theater lover? Yes? GOOD! The National Theater's production of The Importance of Being Earnest is on YouTube right now for free, and you have one day left to watch this absolute GEM.

It's lavish, hilarious, and so much fun!

I'd be shocked if that doesn't exist at one of the big companies.

I've seen things about how JSON is token inefficient as a format, along with proposals for novel alternatives.

The irony is that those formats don't necessarily lead to better llm efficiency since the models don't know them!

diff - znkr.io

I just released v1.0.0 of my Go diffing library znkr.io/diff. If you need a diffing library, please give it a try. I am quite confident that it's the fastest diffing library for Go (see benchmark section in the readme) and I am fairly happy with the API (see pkg.go.dev/znkr.io/diff).

i cannot imagine a future without trans people because without trans people there isn't a future

So, if you can't think of who to nominate, may I utterly shamelessly note that Stealing from Wizards Volume 4: Arson came out last November and is very eligible for best novel, the series as a whole for best series, and also for the lodestar award for best YA.

You know you want to.

Left: Minimal line art drawing of a cat that is enclosed in a pink rectangle. Label: Kitten is completely full of crimes

Right: the same cat art but twice the size. The same size rectangle covers only the bottom of the cat. Label: Adult cat contains the same amount of crimes but it does not dominate all of their behaviors

A ball-peen hammer.

A ball-peen hammer.

Timeline cleanse: let's talk about peens.

The peen (or pein) on a hammer is the non-flat face. The ball-peen is the most common.
