I’m a huge fun of the •album• as a musical form, distinct from a classical piece with movements: the pieces united not necessarily by instrumentation but by the people and their creative voice(s), separate but connected, forming an arc, the “sides” you can feel even when it’s on digital media…the •silence• after it ends, that especially.
What they don't tell you is resistance is fun.

She was murdered by a driver coming out of the car wash right next to my old house; for years I've been predicting exactly this would happen. The car brained drivers filling up to get on the freeway do not care one ounce about pedestrians here. https://missionlocal.org/2026/04/danni

I was involved in web development in the early days. (The 1990s!) It was fun, exciting, it was good. What ruined it was people who did not love the web getting involved. People who didn’t use the web like they loved it, people who didn’t understand it, people who cared more about money than the web.
The web got wrecked because we let too many assholes get involved & call the shots but it’s not too late. We can still take back the web for us. We can continue to build out the web we…
These are very fun. Would you buy one if you could?

"Is the software I’m making for myself on my phone as good as handcrafted, bespoke code? No. But it’s immediate and cheap. And the quantities, measured in lines of text, are large. It might fail a company’s quality test, but it would meet every deadline. That is what makes A.I. coding such a shock to the system."
I’m in Shoreditch London for the next two days attending the #Monkigras conference. I’ve been to Redmonk’s US based events a few times but first time here. Some old friends also attending, should be fun.

Added a "free play area" to the otherwise unused space in the corner of the ReworkCTF board. Just a bunch of fine pitch traces on various layers, some 0402 footprints, and some vias - not wired to anything else, just a playground for circuit edit practice.
Plus a pair of crossing trace pairs on L1 and L2 that might be fun to do something with.

While it is fun having the progress shown as 3500 / 13488 with The Complete Wheel of Time ebook, I wanted to enjoy the individual covers as well.
Luckily Calibre with the epub-split plugin made that rather painless, just some metadata adjustments.
Also kudos to TOR publishing for intentionally providing a DRM-free epub, making this possible (without having to remove it beforehand)

Happy earthquake day to all who celebrate
I didn't sleep much last night, so I would very much like to at least sit down and relax on the couch.
Unfortunately, when I'm on the couch I have (or notice) heart palpitations, which are not fun and make me kinda freak out a little every time.
So I guess tonight I'm going to have to sleep standing, right?

I probably won't post so much Radeon content on YouTube if the upcoming AMD drivers won't support some kind of FSR 4 on previous gen graphics cards. For one, the WTF AMD video of GamersNexus hit me harder than I initially thought. If I had minded my own business instead of making AMD videos, by now I would've been able to buy two Nvidia GPUs sans the constant grief. Frankly, the only part that was worth it and fun alongside the other stuff was making the Linux gaming videos.

Reverse drafting club!
"Reverse drafting is the process of unraveling fabric swatches and diagramming their construction using weave draft notation. It’s really fun! So fun that we started a Reverse Drafting Club to work remotely on this practice with friends near and far. In 2022, we had nearly 400 members in this exclusive club, scattered across the globe.* You don’t have to be a weaver to get in on this. If you like puzzles of any kind, we think you’ll enjoy it."
I decided it would be "fun" to install Koffan, the cool little shopping list app on my k3s cluster.
I created a manifest for flux and tested it on a placeholder hostname. Then I decided I should move it to an internal subdomain--and switch to using a wildcard certificate to minimize letsencrypt request for internal things. This meant I needed to install reflector to copy the wildcard cert to all the namespaces.
Once I deployed reflector, I had errors with slots…

Maybe Laurie should just stick to saying "happy new year!" in English or use his millions to hire a dialect coach.
It's fun to be actively fighting Bilal Mahmood's legislation that would strip $500 million in voter-approved funds for affordable housing over the next five years, all to give a tax cut to the rich, and see that Garry Tan called Mahmood "too progressive."
The billionaire/VC class in SF are not reasonable people we can work with. They must be defeated.

It is unacceptable that Clipper is still in a state of total brokenness. I'm trying to setup my commuter benefits for a FastPass and both the website and app just fall over.

#TIL that Patriarch Mar Awa III of the Assyrian Church of the East is born in Chicago and is a fan of the Chicago Cubs. In a bit of good-natured trolling while visiting the Vatican last October, he gifted Pope Leo XIV with a custom Cubs jersey with “Leo” and “14” on the back. The Pope is a noted fan of the rival Chicago White Sox. ⚾️

"Joy Meets Girl," a new play by Kimberly Hill ’00 M.A.R., is an upbeat romantic comedy set during the holiday season. In it, the main character searches for love and truth with just 20 minutes to spare before her wedding bells chime. But running beneath the fun and humor is a scriptural current drawn from 1 Peter 1...

One of those things about claims of “AGI” is that to really build a human-like intelligence we’d have to simulate a human brain as whole because 1. it’s the only thing we know that produces human intelligence and 2. no one knows how it actually works.
Because of (2) it’s irrelevant what anyone says about LLMs or any other technology (with the exception of simulating a whole brain)—you can’t know if a technology is intelligent like a human because we don’t know what that means or how that works.
Fun thing, it turns out it’s impossible to simulate a whole brain with the resolution required (basically quantum physics level), and you’d have to emulate a chemical and physical environment for the brain as well (it will also need a body etc.).
You’d also have to simulate other humans with brains from which the brain can learn; but to simulate those you’d have simulate evolving humans from single-cell organisms first etc etc ad infinitum
