@davidgerard @michael I don't think there's really anywhere to go with TAM after SpaceX already claimed the entire global economy plus all the space colonies. Maybe Anthropic could throw in the billions of future digital humans living inside the AI God Matrix?

@Canageek

No idea.

I am actually back to thinking about some of the frontends for LaTeX, which I do not think I have thought about for 20 years. (PTSD, I swear.)

@evan Oh no. Get well soon!

@Pacojo la televisió ha de ser UHD també. És nota molt la diferència, tant que veus perfectament les imperfeccions de la pell.

Are the tools you're using working for you? What needs to change?

I really really hate running. It is stupid and idiotic and hurty and hot and my legs hurt and it's night time and I just want pie and sleep. Why can't it be pie and sleep time. Why must it always be hot and hurty time. Why not pastry and restorative rest. Why can't I get what I need from flour. Flour loves me. Running is my sworn enemy. It's like I'm in that stupid video game from the 1980s where you had to mash the buttons to make the person run. Only I am the person and I must mash my own buttons. Why cannot someone mash my buttons for me. Why do they even need to be mashed. THIS IS 2026 WE HAVE WIRELESS CHARGING.

@delta More posts and updates — and thus more awareness of the project — might still be a good thing ;)

I'm sick of all the negativity on here, so today's Low Quality Ad is for this inspirational Skull Pin. I don't know about you guys, but I really needed to see this today.

@gumnos @davidgerard That's what I've done, yeah.

The reality is that I've shown up to court, I was given due process and so far my accuser made THREE separate cases/motions which triggered reviews of their claims.

ALL were found to be baseless.

This is in a county where over NINTY percent of these sorts of claims get confirmed... NOT found baseless.

It's EXCEEDINGLY RARE for anyone to win in WA state against DV claims.

But I prevailed three times already.

They leveled a 4th round of claims, which will go the same.

If anyone who is in T has moved to the UK in recent years can you let @WizardOfDocs and I know how hard it was to get it prescription in the UK?

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth it to apply to to a job in Scotland, or if it would take years for my husband to get re-diagnosed

Been wanting to make this for a long time. Guess today's the day.

Fortunately, it was fairly feature-complete a decade or two ago, so I don't imagine I'd be missing much if I froze my install at a pre-slop version.

Thanks for the update, disappointing as it may be.

Vibe genes? Natural(ish) language comes to protein, genome design software

You can apparently now tell AI tools what sort of protein you want them to make.

Also he’ll give you those upgrades for free if you give his kids shit tons of beetles. They like beetles.

Apropos of the news that Proton is doubling down on LLM slop, https://www.404media.co/proton-to-re-interview-staff-about-ai-to-see-who-gets-to-keep-their-job/ I will again beat the drum that the security benefits of encrypted email are massively overblown and may well give a false sense of, well, security. What gets you isn't the contents of your messages but your contact network, which is still vulnerable with encrypted email because email headers can't be encrypted off-network. And that's assuming you trust the provider not to fold like wet Kleenex the first time a government subpoena touches them. (Spoiler: Unless they're like Apple-big they either fold or they go under.)

Here's a teaser video showcasing another track from For The Setting Sun, the album I'm releasing with CommsBreakdown this Friday 30 October.

This one is called 'Desire Paths' and it was built around the experimental tones of a neck massager interacting with electric guitar pickups, spinning the leftfield textures into a moody trip-hop groove with loose, dusty drums.
