I argue that LLMs are the opposable thumb of computing:

fundamentally novel range of motion that, when combined with the error-correcting fingers of conventional computing, change what's possible altogether

LLMs: the opposable thumb of computing

Amidst all the hype, all the skepticism, all the rending of clothes, I am here to tell you: the LLM is to computing what the thumb is to our hand.

Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective

AOC of course got started with this approach years ago, using her Instagram lives as a classroom on the broader political process and specific issues of the day

Mamdani takes deep into the campaign, making voters more effective advocates for the policies and values that make life better

Danilo, Juicero Aspect 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 8h

A striking theme of Mamdani’s candidacy is his abiding respect for the intelligence of voters

His willingness to teach, explain, and expand the context of the political conversation is something I’ve been desperate to see from politicians

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

In 2020 I got a split keyboard, the Moonlander by ZSA

It took about two weeks to learn touch typing, doing thirty minute sessions after work

Zero wrist pain since.

I just found an old wrist brace and realized I hadn’t touched it in five years. Throwing it out

Danilo, Juicero Aspect 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 8h

Get a good keyboard.

I started working full-time at a desk with daily typing in 2005, after a childhood with loads of computer use

By 2013 I started having occasional flares of wrist pain that I could only heal my immobilizing my wrist. That continued episodically for that whole decade.

RFK fired the CDC official (w/decades of experience) leading the measles outbreak response. It's been decades since we've had such a large outbreak. And just to ensure they they can spread the measles outbreak even farther, they also fired the leadership for the center focused on immunization.

Figure showing the largest measles outbreak in the US in decades. There are over 1500 cases as of October 7 2025

For years, San Franciscans considered him the rare big-hearted billionaire. But days before his Dreamforce conference begins, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support President Trump sending the National Guard to SF and that Trump is doing “a great job.”

There’s definitely the limits of the period technology at play

but if you get past that, like with the CG, you see so much love and care put into it. A completely unique, distinctive personality

and the hugely consequential beats in the multi-season arc are always really well cared for

Danilo, Juicero Aspect 🇵🇷 @daniloc.xyz · 1d

I don’t know that all of it is GOOD

even the bangers like Severed Dreams have these weird moments of like, way too many of the keyboard “orchestra hit” sounds

but at the same time, good lord, unique music for 20 episode seasons? Must have been wall to wall pressure

and when it’s good, it’s great

Babylon 5’s musical score is a good example of its audacity and ambition

Its contemporary with more than double the budget per episode, TNG, absolutely refused to do anything interesting musically

it was, per edict, “wallpaper,” with a few exceptions

Meanwhile B5 has loads of memorable score

And if you're thinking "Wow look at these guys vote against their own interests," no they didn't.

Most US farmers' interests are just NOT what people think they are.

The loudest voices in ag are millionaires who're worried about taxes more than anything else.

They're just rich. It's not that deep

It is frankly strange to be this obsessed with college if you no longer attend one and do not work in education. More people in legacy media need to be told that.
