Hey. Psst. Y’all are rad. Hydrate your skeletons. Take your meds. Check your posture. Have a snack.
Whatever you need to do today/tonight, I believe in you. No matter how big or small it may be. I hope the week brings joy, relief, laughter, success, coziness. You got this.

Oh, man. Tom Noonan died? His performance as Francis Dolarhyde in Manhunter is one of the most terrifying, mesmerizing I've ever seen in a film.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

Hyperscalers are tearing hard drives out of the hands of manufacturers. Prices are therefore also rising for SSDs.

The legitimately innovative thing about AI is that it is a completely bottomless pit. It's swallowed up:
- all energy sources
- all our data
- all investment dollars
- all new jobs
- all capex
- all attention
- and now, all hardware components
with absolutely no end in sight. Nothing will satisfy.

the AI junk that nobody - including the people making it - have enough real uses or profitable demand for is screwing up all the things that have real uses and decades of profitable demand

I lost my entire masters’ thesis during thesis season because of a bowl of miso soup. Laptop and work dead. I cried so hard.
By some miracle, I managed to salvage the hard drive intact three weeks later; it had the draft.
But I’ve never forgotten the lesson. I back up everything now. Religiously.

One of my PhD students ONLY had her doctoral dissertation in her laptop’s hard drive. Told her to email me the most recent version. She forgot. Her laptop was fried by the evening. She had to rewrite the entire thing.
Luckily I had some of the source/draft documents, which I sent her.

My final straw working in trans policy was NHS England's Specialised Commissioner's accidentally admitting to a group fo trans policy experts that the Cass Review was always designed to close GICs. And I wasn't allowed to acknowledge that they'd said it.

REMEMBER: All the "Don't use em-dashes" "don't use rule of three" advice because it makes your writing "look like AI" is because they stole actual writers work, and their "predict the next thing" stuff just simulates what WE FUCKING DO. Keep writing well. Use every style and trick you have. Fuck AI.
