"It's not just a sentence with an attention catching structure, it is a pattern of expression that heightens anticipation. An unmistakable signal that some crucial insight will be revealed.
And yet, just like that, there is nothing. Simply put? Content-free sentences. Words that slide off of your mind leaving it a bit smoother that it was before."

@itsFriday Hi there! Alternate pay methods is actually one of things we're hoping to fund.

In conclusion, saying that open source participation requires monthly fees to private companies that run stochastic code generators means you’ve forgotten why anyone is doing this at all. Fuck this whole idea and fuck Linus in particular.
BREAKING VIDEO: Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader
I've been listening. On election day, the American people, they spoke loudly and clearly. They voted against a war they never asked for, against rising costs and rampant corruption, against a White House that traffics in cruelty and impunity, and against a politics that is too timid to stand up.

I seriously struggle with this game design, because I want to make it a terrible world where you need to thread between violence & cooperation in order to survive. Everything in it is about that, like dependence on artifact tech centralizes power, but universal primitivism sucks to live in (make some Disease rolls).
But it's just so hard to make it meaner than real life now, even in the "nice" places that aren't currently at war.
@mdhughes the fantasy of post apocalyptic fiction is that the world is meaner, but fairer, and the main characters are winning fairly.
Next: try the same test, but with Request being a dummy.
iocaine 4 + Dummy no-op decide: ~42ns median.
Now that's much better, and it validates that the wrapping is the bottleneck.
I have a date, feeling confident so I'm posting a selfie.
Sometimes I have a student who has to work much harder than their peers just to keep up with the mathematics. It could be that they have less experience with math, it could be that math is difficult for them, but it can be discouraging to work as hard or harder than everyone else and just get a C-
It can make you feel really small and not very smart. Even if objectively you know that isn't really true.
For those who have been that student what helped you to keep going?
@futurebird For me, math got much easier once I was allowed to use a calculator. Unfortunately, that wasn't until 9th grade or so, and I had missed a lot of basics before that point.
I have a smaller-than-average working memory, which makes mental calculation incredibly hard, and even with written calculation, I sometimes need to do all the intermediate steps.
What helped me get through school was all the other subjects good was good at, mainly languages, music and arts.
my processor has only one opcode for the woozy command

been reading "how complex systems fail" by richard cook, 18 short points from a doctor who studied why things break in hospitals. it was written in the late 90s and it reads like a postmortem of every outage i've ever been part of.
the one that hit me: there's no such thing as a root cause. catastrophe needs several small failures lining up, each harmless on its own. "root cause" is mostly our social need to point at someone. yesterday the us grounded every flight for hours and the official answer was "old equipment." sure. and also everything else that quietly had to go wrong at the same time.
my other favorite: complex systems always run in degraded mode. everything is a little broken all the time, and it works because people keep patching it on the fly. that's not a bug report, that's my homelab's biography.
the uncomfortable takeaway is that safety isn't a part you buy. it's something people create every day, and the "fix" after an accident usually just adds more complexity for the next one.

Oh, you like dogs, name every dog then.

The cabaret was fun. It was at the Museum of the Home (formerly the Jeffries), celebrating the launch of a trans/queer archive and exhibit.
Its a _permanent_ exhibit. A pro-trans permanent exhibit in the UK. Honestly, I feel a bit emotional thinking about it.
This was my first tuba gig for a while and also my first cabaret gig for a longer while. If you want to book me for either of those things, please DM me.
If you want to come to hear me play, I've now got a calendar on my website https://www.berkeleynoise.com/celesteh/podcast/upcoming/ , which you can also follow on mastodon @celesteh@www.berkeleynoise.com
My next gig is in Walthamstow on the 25th https://www.berkeleynoise.com/celesteh/podcast/event/noise-table-3/
