Pondering the consistent pattern, pretty much everywhere I've worked, where the people who do attention-grabbing stuff but are a nightmare to work with are celebrated and promoted, while the competent people who just quietly do consistently good work are ignored until they burn out and leave.

It’s so cool when game creators branch out into other media. For example, the creators of Myst designed the shower controls in this AirBnB.

Every August, typeface designers flock to the middle of the desert for a week of sex & drugs, and they erect a large wooden word with all the spacing fucked up. They call it Kerning Man

Yes, I find it much more difficult to successfully curate my feed here—if anything, this site is the most atrocious of all of them: just a rather dull US news feed. That’s one of the reasons I still spend most of my time on the bird site.

I'm slowly developing a heuristic for whether or not to trust LLMs. I've found it pretty reliable and wanted to share it: Did the answer come from an LLM? Yes: You should fact-check the answer. No: You should still fact-check the answer. I hope you find this as helpful as I have.

They know perfectly well — hence the funds spent on developing robot attack dogs and android cops (they needn’t worry about those turning on them and siding with the populace).

They know. That’s why they want the robot dogs and cops.

Science fiction is all about a Great Forgetting age where records are lost etc and sometimes it's natural disaster and sometimes it's revolutionary action but in our world it's apparently for tax write-offs

These people have an impoverished idea of what dignity means. For a start, if you’re incapable of work because of disability, are you leading an undignified life? We all rely on other human beings. We’re a social species. It’s just the bonds of reliance look different at different times of life.
