What If the Universe Had No Beginning? Part 4: The Reckoning
No quantum gravity. The wrong peak in the wave function. Boltzmann Babies. Roger Penrose pointing out that the arrow of time was smuggled in through the back door. The no-boundary proposal is beautiful. It is also possibly wrong in many specific ways.

Remember the spectacular Russian energy sanctions fiasco?
Europe convinced itself that cutting off Russian gas would bring Moscow to its knees.
Instead, Russia pivoted east, selling to India and China, while European factories bled out under the weight of energy costs they could no longer absorb.
-- The pain landed in the wrong capital.
Washington is now running the identical play with semiconductors,
apparently hoping for a different result.
That is …

The boomerang: How America’s semiconductor war backfired
There is an ancient Chinese proverb that Washington strategists should have remembered: “When you shoot an arrow of revenge, dig two graves.” They didn’t listen. And now we are wa…

What is a “Polish swipe”?
I know what an Italian ice is, and a Swedish bun, and a Dutch oven pancake, but this one is new.

Gmail interface in Android, where the caret / text cursor has a very light icon of a wand followed by the word “Polish” followed by the word “Swipe” in a box with a rightward arrow. My email starts with “Hey…” and has the signature “Sent from my mobile and probably full of typos as a result.”

Screenshot of settings screen - arrow shows Share Text Format set to display both the emoji grid AND accessible text describing the grid) PLEASE turn this on.
Another screenshot of the settings page. This one has an arrow pointing to the “Pre Header Line” Text box. Text entered in this box will be saved and persist across games. The text in this box will appear on the header line directly before Wordle. No space is inserted between this text and Wordle - so if you want a space, leave a space at the end of your text. This allows you to add a hashtag (#) which, with no space after it would result in a header line starting #Wordle

When I was little I decided that Pizza Hut was actually Pizza *Hunt*.
Instead of ordering food like a normal restaurant when it was your turn you'd go out in the back where there would be a bunch of live pizzas rolling around an enclosure on their crusts like tires. The waiter would hand you a bow and arrow, you'd pick the pizza you wanted to eat, shoot it, then they'd cook it up for you.

🎨 Themable to match any host page: follows the system color scheme, ships dark/light presets, and exposes per-token color overrides for bubble, panel, focus ring, and dismiss target. Dock side, panel width, and max height are configurable.

One of the beautiful things about Sublime Merge¹ (and git/diffs) is that you can see exactly what has changed in complex expected values in tests to ensure that you’re updating the tests without overlooking regressions.
(This is from the Markdown page loader tests in Kitten², as I’m refactoring to implement the upcoming breaking change in the stateful components API³ as it affects the generated code for stateful layout components in Markdown pages.)
¹ Which I always have running,…

Screenshot of Sublime Merge displaying a lovely side-by-side diff of my ES Module Loader tests for Kitten, making it very clear exactly what has changed between normalised expected values of various Kitten HTML template renders (in this case, the generated code for the page – if it’s a stateless (functional) Kitten page – is defined as a regular function instead of as a closure (arrow function).

iOs 26.5 (latest). I have chosen to have messages from unknown callers segregated to their own list. Why are you showing this badge on the list selector glyph. For almost 20 years you’ve trained me that badges warrant my attention. In this case I have expressly indicated I don’t want to know about these. So why are you brining it to my attention?
If I’m expecting a message and I don’t see it, trust me, I’ll seek it out. Until then, let it die in obscurity.

Screenshot of a cropped (showing top) iOs 26.5 messages screen. There is a red arrow and the word “WHY?” Pointing at the menu glyph in the upper right of the screen showing the numeral one inside a blue bubble at about 2 O’Clock on the glyph.
