Tad Stoermer makes powerful points regarding the new Ken Burns documentary on the American Revolution, and he does so by quoting what the founders themselves said about how the war is not the same as the revolution

I got arrested for skateboarding on private property (a parking lot) and my parents grounded me. My dad told me about the Internet and I immediately internalized it as a way to share my music with the world. I learned how to make web pages for my band and that was that.

in a universe of increasing entropy, one way to consider different kinds of life exist is by discovering systems that reduce entropy

if computation is becoming more nondeterministic, then perhaps one way to consider "apps" in this new world is to see them as systems that provide determinism

i know the ai companies are proud of using ai to write a lot of their code, but to me it is obvious because of how janky so much of it is

the anthropic ipad app in particular has such bad ux... it works, it's just so annoying
