then you are one of my favorite people ever. that one made me laugh so much. also the whole Eystein thing was genius. here, mad, hilarious nonsensical Kimbote lampoons replacing a "painting of an object" with the "real…
i have more to write on this, but it is also auto-biographical. the fact is it was thanks to sleuthing over the Sonny Boy settei materials (https://github.com/sonnyboysettei/official), ultimately making the connection…
a pleasure! like i said, my first reading echoes yours and most others. my second reading echoes Nabokov's derisive snort towards the first. all the same, both deal with the dual-ity of objective/subjective, both within…
i had a second reading, and i am convinced it is the greatest work of Art. a lot of people, myself included, bit the ruse that Kinbote was some parody of a mad man and ignored everything but the poem. but the notes have…
your name is all the most beautiful sounds in the world in a single word
if it helps, i did keto fasting for weight loss monitored using a blood ketone meter, ate close to zero calories of korean konjac jelly and zero sugar drinks. and the drastic mental health benefit was a welcome surprise…
wait, you just gave me an extreme epiphany about my significantly worse right eye myopia. the divergence definitely snowballed from the "use it or lose it" thing and me not wearing my glasses as much as possible
Hey SAME! but pre-K, trained at home by cousin who used to be a lefty as well.
i like Infinite Jest, but among the "derivatives" of Nabokov's Pale Fire (the "original" postmodern novel + parody of academic hogwash with protos in Nabokov's earlier works; possible earlier proto in Poe's aesthetic…
have you tried putting a loaded wep next to it?
noticed how spam has that utility for many elderly (which further incentivizes the abuse)
I technically have both in one laptop with an AMD iGPU and an RTX GPU. Most of my problems with archlinux is running a 240Hz HDR monitor on dGPU, where the NVIDIA firmware glitches into buffer out of memory errors not…
plus 1 for Minix. that's how Linus learned OS, from Tanenbaum, and how their public monolithic vs microkernel rift began. iirc xv6 while monolithic also allows for a microkernel implementation (maybe not the ideal way…
Two example scenarios described by Kurzweil in Singularity is Near: super intelligence augmenting human intelligence via direct brain interface (humans vs AI goes back to intelligence vs intelligence as usual), or, we…
The description of the (aftermath of the) picnic in the novel was absolutely beautifully haunting and that verse alone to me made the movie feel like superfluous variations of the theme.
This is Homer's "You are here forever" where Homer covers some letters with Maggie's pictures to spell "Do it for her". Except this dystopia uses the family pictures to spell "You are here forever"
Extremely insightful re: capacity to care for others.. though the trend of "NIMBY" and "petite-bougie" ideology (a more modern term being "temporarily embarrassed billionaires") and pretty much the guiltless profit…
I am simply so happy for them. I used to have insomnia and in a music filesharing hub mostly Euros are awake around midnight Singapore time, so had so many online Euro friends mostly from Poland, Finland, Sweden, and…
already laughing from parent comment this is well done
awesome to see a VS Ramachandran rec on HN. normally it's the rare secondary rec after someone mentions Man Who Mistook His Wife For a Hat by Oliver Sacks.
that's what the screenshot says. They rooted Instructure servers.

which reminds me of building breadboard RF sensors (using fixed caps with variable for calibrating parasitic capacitance) and since these are just oscillators you can calibrate a beat frequency (heterodyne mix) in…
This is the third time in the same week I observed an HHGG quote going whoosh in an age where reading books is long dead as the tech industry twitches to dying anytime soon from the moment Jeff sold godelescherbach…
