all of the above. plus less likely to be ripped off by competitor. (yes I know they have all been ripping off the general public)

collective madness

AI slop and adverstories are a growing problem on Reddit. It worsens the S/N ratio of subreddit subscriber feeds and so I have little sympathy for those who contribute to it.

serial lying is arguably one of the top problems in US politics now, if not the top

We've been the target of a stochastic economic sabotage campaign for years. I've been surprised the US economy has been in as good of shape as it is, considering all the obvious sabotaging events/trends.

The Fallout nod alone justifies millions in value.

entertaining, yes, but maddeningly verbose way of conveying the rules

we should genocide mosquitoes, period

memory which persists blurs the line into documentation or databases

using less electricity downstream is a nice compliment to less loss upstream and has the advantage for the enduser that its within their span of control. both strategies together are ideal

in broadstrokes its about doing more work biased to longterm and tech debt paydown rather than nearterm and tech debt accum in the race to market

I've learned to put high value in darkness at night and silence while alone. Helps my brain be more happy and peaceful, and reenergize/reset better.

risky click, given circumstances

I've won a Diplomacy tournament and lost one. I had prepared several weeks for the first one. For the second one I did no prep, it was a last minute walk-on to help replace a booked player who was MIA, and I hadn't played at all for over a decade, so was obviously rusty.

But if you google for my Dip tournament participation only the 2nd one is findable online. It was a lesson on the "dark ages" that was much of life prior to the WWW and modern social media. Prior to 2000 or so large swathes of life were not documented digitally and published on the Internet. By 2026 any random burp or brain fart can get broadcast to millions.

Another fun fact: a few decades after my Dip tournament win I got to work for the US State Department.

2D physics is fun to model in game engines too, and simpler than 3D.

Good reminder that all government is based on force, threat of violence and coercion. Authority comes from the fist, the gun, the daring act. We only paper over it enough to make ourselves feel better.

once I can measure something I can make it faster

if I hand this challenge off to Claude then I will lose the capability to do it myself, and will become dependent on Claude. that is bad

unfortunate name. misleads

The US has no national security at present. Anything is possible.

I concluded long ago that voting rings are active here, along with paid/inauthentic upvote farms.

EV software. performance book. education service. short fiction

on surface I like the design but due to nature of security risk I'd want to know a lot more about the company and how its made.

I stopped reading after seeing the 3rd name:

it was also yet-another-huge-reward to those who took part in a big publicity splash (ie. win) for an AI biz:

OpenClaw guy: rewarded by acquihire

Bun compiler Zig-to-Rust rewrite guy: rewarded by acquihire

HuggingFace "hacked" by "rogue" AI: rewarded by acquihire

A mini-vi/vim I might be willing to reinvent for myself, if I ever felt it was needed or a net win. but would (obviously) prefer not. free time & energy are precious

Long ago I realized I had the ability to see race conditions in source code, at least more easily/accurately than others on average. It was helpful when reviewing the code of others, esp more junior. And I once briefly considered getting a custom T-shirt made with the words "I see race conditions." (in the spirit of the famous scene from The Sixth Sense with "I see dead people.") and wearing it to the office during formal code review meetings. But a friend talked me out of it when he pointed out it might get misinterpreted as being something racist rather than having to do with threading and concurrency.

The whole "I see bugs where others do not" reminded me of that same phenomenon.
