Are we meant to forgive SpaceX's destruction of LEO, astronomy, and the night sky for this?

T-Rex, I have a solution! Narrow the field enough and you CAN be THE expert in that specific thing. Then you bump out the borders a bit or connect another idea to become an expert in something like, "how stomping houses is related to meeting the same friends in the same place every day."

You know what else is made crunchier? Sweet pickles with ice cream.

That would throw a wrench into the 1009

It would reduce the number of off-by-one errors if you knew every loop would start with i=I instead of zero.

I used AI. It worked. I hated it. I used Claude Code to build a tool I needed. It worked great, but I was miserable. I need to reckon with what it means.

The #1 problem with AI:

"...the tool requires expertise to validate, but its use diminishes expertise and stunts its growth."

BIODIVERSITEASE!

My dad was a chemistry professor and I learned to write loopy lower-case Ls so they wouldn't look like 1s.

For the first time, a person who is not a white, American man will see the Moon close-up* with their own eyes. I'm eager to see with their vision. Will it be the same or different? Which cultural influences will be uppermost? #ArtemisII

The world does not need more undergraduate history essays but does need more people who can write good ones.

The art is fun, but you can see in the back of the Darko pic how much fun everyone was having! Love it!

Are "teacher" or "educator" not applicable in the way you want?

They sing really loudly

"Math is not true because we tell kids it is true; math is true because they can find that truth for themselves. We can find these truths together."

Neat! Is it a CAS behind the scenes or if/then depending on which verb is selected?

Interesting stat from the article

PPS: I'm not sure how my tone comes across in these posts, because I worry my tech friends will think I'm being pessimistic and my arts friends the opposite. Personally, I feel like someone whose house is being eaten by nanobots, but who is really interested in nanobots.

"they don't deserve our fear" is a profound thing to say imo & I'm grateful for it

distrust yes caution yes. fear God maybe (proverbs 9:10 though I have long-winded thoughts about the fear of God). these men terrorizing citizens may be a lot of things but they don't know the first thing about God

Feeling this so hard this past several weeks

It's so satisfying clicking the "return early" button in Libby. Especially when I know that I had to wait months to get my turn with a book.

@ryannorth.ca TBF, I do think of you as many things before I think of you as the guy who was stuck in a hole. But, when I think of someone stuck in a hole, I think of you first.

This sounds like a good video game set-up to me. Spaceship battles alternating with stealth missions. Maybe some base-building, too?

@k8nowak.bsky.social asked if I would be interested in helping a new company write curriculum while I moved states

Why am I so against generative AI in games?

Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.
