You google The Anarchist Cookbook *one* time and suddenly the smartwatch won't stay off when shut off. The phone randomly reboots.

My brother in Christ. It's a recommended item on Amazon. It can be here *tomorrow* which means it's in stock in the warehouse in my city.

Reminder to use your critical thinking skills for the day.

Why is Trump so eager to release the Epstein files? Because the FBI finally finished doctoring them. Ghislaine Maxwell is the last living witness who could testify against their contents. The originals are not being released.

Trump is not building a ballroom.

I was in Chapters looking for The Art of Computer Programming. Out of stock, as expected. I shit you not, a store worker asked if an alternative would be acceptable. Sure, give me an alternative to the definitive set of works by Donald Knuth, and I'll pay you with an alternative to money. 🙄

@hankgreen.bsky.social In reality it takes a greater number of synapses to know 50% of a topic than it does to know 100% of a topic, because you must take account of the synapses used to resolve contradiction + incomplete information. The more you learn, the more parsimonious the world becomes.
@hankgreen.bsky.social I just watched the podcast wherein you were asked whether learning new things made it harder to learn new things. Your answer was that knowledge formed more branches upon which to hang more knowledge. The real answer is the opposite.

I realized my biggest weakness is I do not have time or patience for lazy thinking. There is an epidemic of the absence of critical thinking and an abundance of certainty. So many people come at me with the Solution™ to a problem they have not thought through.

Come at me with curiosity instead.

Geopolitics for 100, Alex.

Democracy was initially presented as an alternative to *this* system of government.

And now you know how the Nazis took and held onto power. Because of face-saving cowardice.

The United States is not a viable country. They don't even have a functioning government.

They'd be much better off as a territory of Canada or Mexico, but neither of us actually wants them. They're not sending their best.

We build our software like we build our cities.

The 24 hour news cycle really shines when it comes to computer science. They'll be like:

"Scientists used MATH and ALGORITHMS to solve this decades old problem!"

And that's the end of both their vocabulary and the article.

Could a watershed learn to land a rocket? Could a hurricane play chess? This project is the answer to those questions, and the answer is an emphatic yes!
Self-Evidencing Through Hierarchical Gradient Decomposition: A Dissipative System That Maintains Non-Equilibrium Steady-State by Minimizing Variational Free Energy
The Free Energy Principle (FEP) states that self-organizing systems must minimize variational free energy to persist, but the path from principle to implementable algorithm has remained unclear. We pr...

I tried to imagine an economy that isn't built to fail. Imagine that. Turns out, biophysics solved this problem before our time.

Remember: If it can be done there, it can be done anywhere. If it can be done loudly, it can be done quietly. And it could likely be done to you right now.

It was probably more effort to identify the target devices than it was to hack those targets.
