Gratuitous feet pic of me on a beach in Mexico, looking out at the water
I’m currently lounging on a beach in Mexico, re-reading @greatdismal.bsky.social’s Neuromancer because I realized that I never finished the Sprawl trilogy.
I think that I forgot just how fun the book is and what an impact it had on me.
Stay cyberpunk and that’s not just the margaritas talking.
Welcome back from deployment, now proceed to the armory and get those weapons clean
Indiana’s sheriffs are a plague on Hoosiers. A professional county police force would be so much better.
Abolish Sheriffs. it's almost annually that 1 of 92 Sheriffs in the state of Indiana is busted for corruption like this.
To all who celebrate

In related news, Hegseth will agree to a ceasefire with Anthropic.
But Anthropic has to accept higher prices paid by DoD, free compute in DoD data centers, and a full public apology in exchange for amending the prohibition on domestic surveillance to add “unless explicitly authorized by Congress.”
It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:
I know the tweet is Al generated when they use " ," before and.
“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”
This is why I thought it was the technology. I have an OLED TV, but it’s in a really bright room.
I didn’t even realize that monitors would need calibration.
Does High Dynamic Range (HDR) ever not make everything look terrible?
It feels like I’m missing something, but I’ve never seen it actually improve the color or picture quality, only make it worse.
Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”

I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will … We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end”
That is so perfect — it’s art
These stupid assholes now think Sam Altman invented “telling people what they want to hear.”
Yeah sure. It was called “if you marry this girl before you deploy she receives a housing allowance, full medical vision and dental and $400k if you get shot in the neck”
There is bascially a 100% chance if that if Trump orders the destruction of Iran's entire electrical infrastructure along with a finding from DOJ / DOD GS that it's legal, the U.S. military will carry it out and basically 0% chance any future D admin would prosecute them for it
This is going to result in a Gandalf the White level callsign change.

Trump’s really acclimated to Florida, because no self-respecting New Yorker would ever miss this many consecutive off ramps
An actual Truth Social post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump): Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP
Presidential Easter messages are weirder than I remembered
This happened to me as a freshman NROTC midshipman in 1996 and I was completely perplexed
It would be useful if the NYT explicitly stated that the pilot, if captured, would be a POW, that there are laws governing how POWs can be treated, that respect for international law on war shapes how the enemy approaches it, and this is why the US conduct of this illegal war has been so dangerous.
At least Claude is honest about the issues with project, skills, and MCP distribution:
“There is no API for managing Claude Projects today.”
“This is workable but not scalable.”
“…has a manual bottleneck that Anthropic hasn’t solved yet.”
ok but shooting down airplanes with surface to air missiles and IR sensors isn't asymmetric anything
If there’s one thing IT and security teams love, it’s a total lack of standardization
At some point, AI vendors are going to realize that cowboy configurations are hurting their corporate adoption, but apparently not anytime soon
