From what I know of people in Manhattan I would have to agree. Also see the running gag about Dorsia in American Paycho

What happened to Anthropic in Q2? Trying to understand the dramatic revenue increase...

So many hard fought battles over improving Bay Area transit -- and the author of this essay @icgee.bsky.social has been in the middle of many of them -- are paying off. We have to pass RTM and Prop H to protect progress!

Musk thinks he's this scary badass, but he might as well have typed "While you were running for office, I studied the blade." Somebody pants this dork and stuff him in the Gatorade cooler.

Today there are many experts on GAAP accounting On Here. You know, you can just Not Tweet.

I see that GAAP discourse is back, for the same reasons it always is

YES ON MEASURE RTM (BAY AREA) - If it doesn't pass, Caltrain could close up to 10 stations, eliminate weekend service, reduce frequency to hourly, end service by 9 p.m. - undoing all the success of electrification and devastating the local economy. Save Bay Area Transit, Vote Yes on RTM!

This is a long shot, but I'm looking for a TDS3EM Ethernet extension card for a Tektronix TDS3000(B) series oscilloscope like the one shown. I only need it for about a few hours. If anyone in the SF Bay Area has one and willing to loan it or to allow me do my thing at their place, let me know!

"snowpiercer is trying to say that class societ-" WRONG, snowpiercer is saying that it even in the worst circumstances that it kicks ass to be on a train

At least no mathematician has ever had an extreme reaction to the rapid development of technology.

My advice for math nerds is to watch this youtube channel on the Riemann Zeta function (I've only watched the first 70 or so but it's amazing so far). You want to be up on this stuff in case the Riemann Hypothesis gets proved.

I don't know what this means but "information theory forbids your metaphysics" is an insult I must find an occasion to deliver

If you carry out the torture chamber LLM experiments by doing all the matrix multiplications and whatnot with a pen and paper, and you produce, like, “ow ow that hurts”, what exactly is the entity that is being tortured?

similar to NaN payloads they should let you stuff ~6 instruction bytes into a function pointer FExxxxxx xxxxxxx0. cpu with native support would execute it in the call opcode. else the kernel can make up a page full of repeats on access.

Thrifters, don't sleep on the America Cancer Society shop in Menlo Park it's got the juice

PS: My jogging play list is mathematically timed by beats per minute so that my final step at my front door after finishing my 2.3 mile run is on the last note of They Might Be Giants' "Dr. Worm."

But, the security+compatibility contract keeps a stable baseline on the Microsoft side. Controversial take, but if we enter this era where users are giving AI agents increasingly higher levels of access control; the Linux kernel is legitimately a poor fit.

Artificial intelligence systems do not think, feel, want or understand. Avoid language that gives them human characteristics.

@milesintransit.com and I are riding transit to The Most Beautiful Taco Bell In The World for Bay Area Transit Month! Sign up for the 9/27 ride here: bit.ly/bustothebeach

"we need to slow down because our capex is unsustainable, but we want to keep our competitive advantage so all governments should somehow ban Chinese linear algebra" does not strike me as a particularly achievable policy

Look at how happy Devin Cooley is with his linear algebra. Look at him. www.instagram.com/reels/DdEpCs...

I am sympathetic to Silicon Valley guys ascribing human-level consciousness to AI because if I had to talk to people from Silicon Valley all day I’d probably have a real low bar for sentience too

You know, honestly, more than monetary donations, if somebody worked at a company that had access to a lot of 18 terabyte and larger hard drives and could talk to us, that's where we are really suffering. The internet archive has no special priority in buying hard drives and those things are insane.

Ouigo is like if an American commuter train could go 200mph

I wonder what percentage of coding interviews have permanently shifted from questions like “reverse a linked list” to “how do you verify Claude correctly reversed a linked list?”

I was going to say "life hack: stop applying for jobs from companies that never get back to you and start asking angels for money instead", then realized oh wait, that's what all these kids crammed into Silicon Valley "hacker houses" are doing right now.

EE folks: what's a good configurable clock synthesizer chip? requirements: - two outputs, 3.3V (diff or single-ended) - wide range of frequencies up to 250..400 MHz (for FPGA input) - can be configured using a relatively simple algorithm, as opposed to a closed-source Windows application

MIDNIGHT DINER has the dreaded "Leaving Soon" on Netflix and if you have ever taken my advice about anything, take this--one of my favorite TV shows of all time. This is one I desperately wish I had the physical media of.

I cannot be the only ex EE who read this as "quiescent Idd daemon"

Are you in the Bay Area? Do you like old electronics? Come to the Electronics Flea Market tomorrow in Saratoga where we’ll be selling a bunch of stuff with proceeds going to Tech Exchange in honor of Gordon Mah Ung. Along with the Commodore PET I’m bringing a lot of other fun stuff. A sample:

one of these days i'll stop writing 8051 assembly. but today is not that day

Did you know that you can take transit from the El Cerrito del Norte BART station all the way to Napa Valley? Exclusively on Saturdays, you can hop on Vine Transit’s Express Route 29 at Bus Bay C6 and arrive in Napa ready to sip, savor, and explore. 🍷 Learn more at nvta.ca.gov.

Youth pastor: you know, there is another note taking and knowledge management TUI and it's probably already installed on your system

Funniest thing about buying Cursor for $60b is it once again shows that Musk is not really technically savvy, just a good salesman/manipulator. Cursor is basically worthless. Nobody uses their models because they're ass, and Grok's are even worse. It's just a VS Code frontend to better models.

I benchmarked Claude’s “Fast C++”. It wasn’t faster lucisqr.substack.com/p/i-benchmar... #cpp #cplusplus

The comment is absurd but this is the same guy who thinks datacenters in space will be more efficiently cooled, so

New post on SVG in #emacs ! I new SVG cooked when I published my svg-line package, but these results were pretty surprising! "Emacs SVG Benchmark Reveals Gaming-Caliber Frame Rates" www.chiply.dev/post-emacs-s... #emacs #coding #benchmark #graphics #programming

New blog post: PLL coefficients for rate-only feedback. A couple years ago I wrote a post that extends a paper of Stephens and Thomas where they model PLLs in discrete time rather than transforming a continuous-time design.

Years ago I visited HP in Houston. I found a hotel that was walking distance to the campus, and the next morning set out. The sidewalk vanished halfway there, but I persisted and made it to campus (continued)
