On AliExpress you will find many shoes. But how comfortable, you ask? As comfortable as "stepping on shit". And if you search for "step on shit" on AliExpress they can be yours, too, at last.

One of the darkest illustrations of the "universe of obligation" concept from genocide studies that I’ve ever seen, as well as the Stalin quote. 300k estimated dead related to DOGE spending cuts and it’s barely a blip on anyone’s radar.

Here's an example of ChatGPT doing something interesting with a normal programming language: sha512 hashing "hello" 507 times, which it would not have correctly predicted using a plain LLM. We'll see more multi-modal stuff like this over time using SMT solvers for cooler stuff etc...

It was a total horror show before 2024, but now Berlin has one of the fastest systems in Germany with the opening of the new citizenship processing center at the Landesamt für Einwanderung. The FB group is actually a pretty good source of up-to-date info: www.facebook.com/groups/13314...

Now it’s time for some exciting new goals

Took a chance and used mezcal instead of red wine while making the sauce for this lasagna. The smokiness really goes well with the spicy salsiccia inside!
