Vance also travelled to Hungary a few days before election to endorse Viktor Orban. Orban was the prime minister of Hungary for 16 years, turned it into "illiberal democracy". And this time he got a historical defeat where the opposition has a supermajority so they can rewrite the constitution.
We were indeed so far ahead of the curve the main site only had moderate success: it was based on "citizen journalists" running around with camera equipped phones. Which in 2005 was still a pretty novel concept. "Shot on iPhone" ads and Google Pixel is 2015-2016.

Very early on, in 2008, Twitter was an unbelievably great resource of breaking news, the startup I worked for wrote a dashboard surfacing breaking news from Twitter gardenhose using Stanford NLP and we tried to get news desks to subscribe, instead everyone wanted to acquire and one did indeed.

BREAKING: Claude Mythos discovers 60-year old computing bug, PEBCAK, that's been silently plagued the tech industry for years. It suggests resolving it by eliminating the entity in the middle and replacing it with a more efficient model.
One thing that's worth repeating: There is *zero* evidence that "substack helps you get readers". The only thing that we've ever seen that helps grow an audience is other authors mentioning your blog or newsletter, which is not the platform's doing. Substack just takes credit for that!
Wait, the person who wrote Deathless and the person who wrote the "stop talking to each other and start buying things" essay are the same person? 'Cos I have been following the latter here and loved the former and it just connected.
I need to sit down.
ngl this whole trend of open source projects capitulating on allowing LLM contributions because "if we don't, people will use them anyway and then lie about it" is just the latest example of toxic people in tech getting their way via "might makes right"
just tremendously tiresome and fucked up
Why do the Japanese like their buns askew (2026)
AI ruins so much.
Wait until you learn about “vegetative electron microscopy.”
I think the difference is in tone. The home computer and later the Internet pushes were "here's a helpful thing, we support it, try it" and AI is "you must do this or you will be left behind"

I don’t know why it took me until late April 2026 to realize this, but climate change is basically a rising tide lifting the boats but not the coastal cities where hundreds of millions of people live
an underrated, unforgivable belief that remains prevalent among pols and normies is that a rising tide lifts all boats when it’s been clear forever that a rising tide simply drowns the people on low lying land
at the trajectory potterverse is going, small plays of it will be done on cruise liners full of old people and gastro just after that washed up singer you thought was already dead.

People hate this shit so much. Nobody's having fun. Even the AI people are getting tired of this. They're losing and they know it. Even with the ever-growing revenues of OpenAI and Anthropic, things feel weird and bad. Anthropic's services are also randomly broken or rate limited to hell. Cool!
This is one time where the excitement of the dog is wholly justified: she has been further away than any human ever been from a dog before.
Around 20% of hospital beds in the US are in Christianist facilities, most Catholic, that have happily been denying reproductive health care and gender-affirming care for decades AND enjoying a nonprofit status. Most people don't realize the stranglehold the church has until it's too late.
Yes, the Hungarian subreddit even before we knew the results formulated a new curse: May JD Vance help you to win your elections :D
Yes, reddit earlier today when the result was not yet known already came up with a new curse: "May JD Vance help you win the election" :D
Yes, that's what I felt last year.
By this year I made peace with it: if I am forced into retirement then so be it. I am privileged enough to make ends meet.
