At our seders, inspired by the one year we had a herpetologist guest, I invite attendees to speak in praise of frogs just after the plagues bit.
If nobody has anything nice to say about frogs, I read them an abridged version of this weird lil story: sacred-texts.com/jud/jftl/jft...
I mean, really. Every frame.

this programming language is batteries included. due to an incident on a United Airlines flight involving those batteries, code written in this language is banned from air travel by the TSA and FAA.
it seems like you could similarly make a claim that alien intelligence is impossible, because it is ~mathematically impossible for evolution on some other planet to produce a brain that's exactly like ours
it seems they are claiming that "the only way to produce human-level intelligence would be to simulate some large subset of human physiology". this seems like a terribly difficult claim to substantiate.
totally thought this was about unix curl for a second

Every language has an effects system if you're brave enough (to rewrite the compiler)
SSO, also passkeys I thikn
I guess I'm 🤖 writing a type checker for gleam? in gleam ✨ because we need more educational examples of real-world type checkers!
I'm calling it "gloat" 🐐

/6 ICE is a monument to totalitarianism, lawlessness, and bigotry. It should be ripped out and woodchippered root and branch and replaced with something focused on the concept that you can’t defend the rule of law by burning it down.
just get smooshed into the smoosh machine.
"but what about editors?!?" I think the difference is that in general, editors don't wholesale rewrite your work, and also do their best to preserve your voice. authors tend to have more pride than to allow what LLMs currently do. like they believe they have something to say, and don't want it to
you put your input at the top (it can be collapsed in an expandable box or something). idk it just gives me the weirdest vibes to think I was reading something written by a person, and then realize it's been heavily modified (or completely fabricated) by an LLM.
Ghostwriting is icky, actually.
just saw a "why this matters" heading in a blog post and immediately skipped the rest of it. it's so surreal to be increasingly encountering people who are fine publishing LLM output as their own writing.
I would love for there to be a social norm that if you're going to publish some LLM-output, 1/4

BOB WEIR: BM: BOB WEIR: BM: BOB WEIR: BM: BOB WEIR: BM: BOB WEIR: Well, first off, death is the last and best reward for a life well lived. BM: BOB WEIR: Okay. So, 1 welcome it. Wholeheartedly. Full-on, I welcome death when I get there. Really? Yeah. Like if it was today? If it were today, l'd have to welcome it. Yeah. Yeah, I would rise to the occasion, I'll say. But I would ….. But I would, holy shit, all this I got to take care of, you know? There's this project, this project, l've got kids I love, all that kind of stuff. But at the same time, you have to welcome death. Yeah. If you don't you're in trouble.
I don't think this made it into my Bob Weir profile a few years ago.
