i don’t agree with zohran’s politics, but he ran an amazing campaign. credit where credit is due. for better or worse, this is a sign of the times.

very obvious anti-woke mob overreaction. we’re already starting to see cracks and signs of what is coming.
to be clear, a correction is good, but an overcorrection isn’t. this felt like an overcorrection.

as i think more about this i realise we often see chaos as liveness (entropy / randomness?). i wonder if there’s something there.
example - aliveness of a kaleidoscope >> aliveness of a mirror
similarly brownian motion feels “alive” even in the abstract form

What technologies have the highest aliveness:complexity ratio (ACR) in your opinion?
One for me is the classic pendulum clock. It’s complex but still overall easily grokkable. Yet it feels weirdly alive when it starts ticking steadily.
LLMs have fairly low ACR imo.

everything you write in public will eventually end up being scraped — regulation is just a stopgap

penguin is a great show — but i don’t want to hear anyone compare it to succession ever again
it’s nowhere close. stop it.
it’s nowhere close. stop it.

the new episode was… fine
the visuals of the agony were great, but i’m starting to see a pattern here — maybe great visuals are all this series has to offer
