big fan of alan kay's assertion that computer science is a misnomer and it should be called process science, as in the science of processes, whether computers are involved or not

Bari Weiss and RFK Jr are both a special kind of stupid that makes me so mad I can’t even be reasonable about it. I can’t even find it funny. It is profane, in a spiritual way, how stupid they are

One of my favorite genres of art is "a huge asshole making fun of a way bigger asshole" so I'm immediately enjoying the Netflix series about Diddy funded by 50 cent

Essentially all of capital and world governments are lined up eagerly to push every possible version of this technology at us but you're mad at people on social media who have no impact on this whatsoever because you've bought industry advertising.

God help me, I'm gonna actually defend "AI" a bit here: this stuff is like tracer dye revealing how corrupt and decrepit so many of our institutional processes already were long before this garbage came along.
"Runctitiononal features"? "Medical fymblal"? "1 Tol Line storee"? This gets worse the longer you look at it. But it's got to be good, because it was published in Nature Scientific Reports last week: www.nature.com/articles/s41... h/t @asa.tsbalans.se

It's a shame that the sex crimes will overshadow Larry Summers' true legacy of being consistently wrong about the economy.
Not sure if it's journalistic best practice to frame "proof of involvement in a decades-long ring of powerful child rapists" as "the greatest challenge to his legacy."
Unless you're trying to actively help him overcome it, I think it should rightly be framed as the final word on his legacy.

I've started the laborious process of migrating off the Google ecosystem. Search is easier to replace than ever with AI slop clogging up results, email is interestingly the more difficult lift atm, trying out Tuta. Keeping up a bsky, probably adding a Mastodon account at some point...

also "modernism",
"yes, I like things how they are now"
"yes, I like things how they are now"
“realism” is such a funny descriptor for a worldview/art movement/etc. “what’s up, i believe in things that i think are true”

They're treating the US government like a throwaway run in a Paradox game, down to declaring a no-CB war
Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout
