im starting to feel very concerned about the apparently dwindling numbers of coders who can write statically-typed code. or understand that GUIs can exist outside of web browsers

it is kind of wild to me that after decades of monomaniacal fixation on mesh rendering, Gaussian splats came out of nowhere and completely stole the show. the idea that fucken point clouds are now more efficient than polygons is just. wtf

the diffusion of LLM tech has been eye-opening for me in terms of just how fucking arrogant, petulant, narcissistic, and spiteful humanity is as a species. so much cartoonishly pathological behavior by both the AI doomers and the AI coomers

Consider this when interpreting the term economic anxiety.
the whole AI panic is a grim reminder that nobody actually understands what humans care about: control of other humans. We are willing to pay for stuff that is crafted by other humans because we are animals in a social hierarchy. markets formalize and abstract this but it's what drives them.

faintly surreal seeing libs finally start to notice how hideously corrupt and murderous the USG is because President Florida Man is being a bit less subtle than his predecessor

it is somewhat comforting that even as my deranged and disintegrating homeland teeters on the brink of irl civil war, americans of all colors and creeds have come to stand united & resolute against our bloodsucking pedophile bourgeoisie

Haters: LLMs are so dumb, they can't even do math
What if we give them calculators?
H: They don't know anything not in their training set!
What if we give them internet access?
H: They can't plan across sessions
What if we give them memory systems?
H: 😠

some peculiar behavior by Wise:

they've been relentlessly advertising their investment & interest services for as long as i've had an account. when I finally looked into to it, I found a very odd onboarding process, asking whether I fell into certain categories on nationality

the fact that we are still using quasi-JSON and approximately a grillion other idiosyncratic serialization formats, half of them based on clumsily parsed human-readable ASCII, in a world where messagepack was published when I was a goddamn *child,* is just inarticulably exasperating

Me at 15: Santa isn't real
Me at 25: Santa isn't real, but we can collectively make him real through our actions
Me at 35: The ways in which Santa is real are myriad and disturbing. The Wild Hunt rides again, wearing the mask of a Saint

here is a pro tip from a grizzled veteran of shitbird hellsite twitter dot com: if you are being owned online, the proper coping strategy is to display aloof, self-deprecating calm, even if you're absolutely seething inside.

there's a certain distinctive disadvantage to living in Europe for recovering Americans: the buildings are all so old and the native population is so healthy, you don't get many affordances for the disabled. e.g. elevators at train stations
