I have a 2012 Kindle Paperwhite, which as of May hasn't been able to take new ebooks. Thanks Jeff đ I looked briefly at getting a new ereader - certainly something not Amazon. But the thing is, there is nothing wrong with the Kindle I have. In fact, I love it. It's the perfect size and weight for me to hold, and the...

En un galpĂłn industrial de Virginia, filas de racks metĂĄlicos zumban bajo un sistema de refrigeraciĂłn que no se detiene nunca. Cada fila consume tanta electricidad como un pueblo mediano, y ningĂșn cartel en la puerta lo anuncia. AhĂ adentro, entre cables de cobre y placas de silicio, se fabrica lo que llamamos...

There has been an increase in concern over AI destroying humanity, most recently spurred by tweets from former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon about how dangerous AI is, and a follow-up tweet from current employee Evan Hubinger, who said âJacob is correct here â we really do earnestly believe A.I. could kill all...

Hell is a Houston highway. I guess thatâs the post title. Top-tier alliteration like that is spontaneous, so it must be respected. Double points for it being profoundly true. If you told me Iâd actually squandered my human life and the Katy Fwy was a demon realm, Iâd probably believe you. Youth soccer kind of sucks....
So Iâve been meaning to write about something, but got sucked into this rabbit hole, and now Iâm kinda scared if Iâve been a subject of propaganda that worked on me. A common theme in software development AI discourse is that there are âseriousâ engineers who value the end result the most, and âartisanalâ coders who...
I don't remember exactly what its called, but it happens every year around this time. Agricola street is closed to traffic and filled with people, all wandering around to listen to music, browse vendors and just having a good time. We wander up and down every year and some times I take my camera. The little ones...
BookmarksJ'aime bien le terme "peut-ĂȘtre" dans leur titre.
By: Femme S. Gaastra | Rating: 2/5The standard work on the VOC. I wish someone else would take a shot at writing about it, this is incredibly dry and more focussed on the financial and business side than on the political. But it does give a sobering picture and makes one wonder how a company being so mismanaged...
2026-09-12Hello! After a tangled process of planning and scheduling, I'm visiting Philadelphia, a city of neighborhoods.I'm not a city boy â that much is clear. So while I build the confidence to take more disruptive street photography, I should start by finding compositions and points of view.I'm hoping to get an...
So I don't know where yall all are but here in Tx a steak from Walmart will run you about twenty bucks a pop. Less if you go early and snag the discounted meat that needs to be cooked that day. But still, it's not cheap. Ground beef is seven or more per pound. So to feed all four kids and the husband we end up...
I had my way with the frontmatter of the blogpost so while it really is Saturday night, I pretty much know this will see the tender mercies of GitHub and netlify on Sunday. For whatever reason lately I've thought about some old papers and photos in California. When I left about 10 years ago I left a small Rubbermaid...
Yay, in hospital again. I've done a lot of hospitaling over the last three or four years. It's nothing to do with the most recent difficulty of pulmonary hypertension I wrote about recently on the face of it, but a re-occurence of the AF â atrial fibrillation â I last had over two years ago, and had thought was...
What song reminds you of your first love? It was our song. I bought her the single when it came out, went to John Menzies to buy it and then, I think, walked to meet her at her new (first?) job? Vague memory indeed. âSweet Child O' Mineâ by Guns N' Roses Listen on Apple Music Your browser does not support the audio...
3.57am It's getting more common, me waking up in the middle of the night and not able to get back to sleep. I am no Tim Cook: I don't get up at 4am to answer emails. Firstly, I don't have a team of personal assistants to bring me interesting emails that I need to respond. Secondly, I don't get any interesting emails...
September 2026. Sheffield. With the new Good Beer Guide about to drop (ugh), and a big trip this weekend I didnât want to go chasing lone GBG 26 entries these last few days. But as youâll know my brain doesnât respond well to being denied daily stimulation, or my legs exercise, so I trotted down to Sheffield Station...
You yourself, you said it You, the Most High, you made it You, You promised us and it is in there You gave your word and bought this, in the chest, here You commanded us and it was all for your sake You promised us. And now there is not a lot for you to take It is written and I will endure Fulfil yours, and take me...
A major Anglo-Saxon power begins a war far away from home with the help of Israel and without the support of its allies. The main objective is the control of one of the worldâs most important maritime trade routes, but the aggressor may have to back down â partly from the rising oil prices at home. This could either...
âYou write like you talk.â And that made me very happy because thereâs no better feedback than being told that you are you. And that your voice will outlive you. And that writing, which you continue to struggle with, has gone from something that could stop you in your tracks into something from which a stronger you...
Apple recently announced an upcoming feature for their new Apple Watches called âAudio Intelligence,â which will always be listening to and transcribing conversations in the background and summarizing them at the end of the day. While Apple have implemented some protections and safeguards to protect the privacy of...
Iâve started knitting fingerless gloves again. I love knitting these things, they are quick little projects and I want a stack in a lot of colours as I wear them throughout the colder months. They keep my hands warm while I work. I just finished the first of a new set of gloves, in a pink/white/green pastel...
Although I endeavor to sound coherent and confident my way of writing, it must be clarified that this confidence is mere pretense which I compensate by ways of practice and study of the art of writing as a way of thinking; a pretense akin to my elementary school presentations where I learned to âfake it till I make...

Before Julyâs Nagoya Basho (July grand sumo tournament), I predicted which wrestlers I thought would reach 10 wins. Now, one tournament wiser, I will predict the entire field for the September 2026 Aki Basho (running from September 13-27, 2026). To see predictions from more learned sumo observers, see Tim Edwardsâ...
Iâve been wanting a Linux laptop for a while now. I donât need one, thatâs for sure. I have an M2 MacBook Air, which is an objectively great laptop. I have an M2 iPad Pro that can handle some laptop duties and serve as a second display to my Air. I even have my dadâs old 2018-era MacBook Air that I finally got T2...
Time for a poem. Here is one by the always excellent Dick Davis, about a situation every parent â and grandparent â will be familiar with: the awful helplessness we feel in the presence of a child inconsolably, unreachably upset or hurt...A Bit of PaternityTo tell your weeping child,'This too will pass, believeMe,...
A statement by 25 Fields Medalists in mathematics. Some of their case applies, I would venture, to philosophy. An excerpt, but do read the whole statement: [T]he push by AI companies to solve mathematical problems as a benchmark is detrimental to the science of mathematics, and to the mathematical community. The...
The first time I thought it would be a good idea to write a blog post about the economics of open source was 2013, so this post has been in the works a while. The closest I got before today was 2022, when I wrote a stream-of-consciousness rant into my iOS notes that ended with basically "nothing fucking works". And...
Over the course of the umpteenth heatwave last month, and in the wake of over 2700 excess deaths estimated in England and Wales during the May and June heatwaves, I read When there are wolves again by E. J. Swift. The blurb from the authorâs website: Activist Lucyâs earliest memories are of living with her...
I built buildprof (Github), an open-source tracing tool that shows where the time goes when you compile software on Linux. Hereâs a realtime video of it profiling a clean build of ripgrep: Watch the buildprof demo Sometimes, builds are slow because there is simply a lot of code to compile. But more often than not,...
11:00 Uhr Den Home-Assistant gefragt, welcher Tag und welche Uhrzeit ist. Es beginnt mit Verwirrung. Einen verspĂ€teten guten Morgen, Freunde der Nacht.Jetzt aber: Auf los gehtâs los. Ich bin in meiner Wohnung, meinem Schreibzimmer, fĂŒr eine Nacht, vielleicht auch fĂŒr zwei. Seit Wochen das erste Mal wieder alleine,...
GitHub, and by extension, other git based websites are very popular because they all have version control. I've decided to make this small guide on how to download things from GitHub just in case someone might need a resource somewhere for screen reader users. This will not be a screen reader guide on how to...
If you really think about it, we spend loads of money on all sorts of crap that doesnât really enrich our lives. Every morning, Iâm out and about somewhere in the Fediverse on my smartphone whilst sipping my first/second/third coffee. At the moment, Iâm mainly into photos. At 8.00 am, the bot behind @FotoVorschlag...
My 2027 Hobonichi Techno wishlist. NOTE: I wrote this post last weekend, days before I learned that I would soon be unemployed again. Thus, it feels frivolous to publish such a post, but at the same time, I still want to do something nice for myself. A long time ago, I declared that I would go strictly digital when...
I have been looking for a full-fledged smartwatch for a while now. I have a Pebble and a BangleJS; I use them all the time. But they are semi-smartwatches. I wanted a full-fledged watch that lasts for days and works fully offline. This post isnât a review; that will take time. This one is more like why I chose the...
The worldâs shortest critique of Pavlovian reason: if the pointer address of dopamine response can slide backward from stimulus (beef) to cue (bell), then it makes sense to start looking at every particular experience as cue to a parallel, abstract, universal real counterpart. Emancipation is seeing the cues for...
Skins are the best parts of any fruit. I say this partially as a political statement: oneâs skin is oneâs interface to the world, the barrier between what is and is not ⊠one (this britishism is awkward, let me change to the more conversational you) ⊠Your skin is both how you perceive and how you are perceived. In...
