Recomp + AI: 5 Months Later

Matthew Stanley

💡This article heavily discusses AI. However, I wanted to express it in my own words. As such, this article has been authored by me the old-fashioned way. AI was used to help proof-read the article; but did not author what is written here.Around five months ago, I experimented outside my area of...

Back At It: A Wes Anderson Concert, Redoing a 16-Year-Old Cosplay, and Why Social Media Sucks

Ethan

This is a recap-ish of the latest podcast episode. You can listen to the episode below before or after you read. That’s because I tend to expand on topics from the pod as well as straight-up write about things that we did not discuss. The choice is yours in how you want to proceed! Hello,...

Markdown makes learning HTML less scary

Mark Rogers

#julyreply A post by Adam Newbold about how to ensure your website is portable had me thinking about how I sometimes do exactly what he advocates — upload HTML files to a server. Hardcore IndieWeb: Run your own website 100% independently for only $0.01/day The idea is that you always have a copy...

What WOULD Helen have looked like?

Brad Warthen

In this depiction from 550 BC, Helen’s white, but everybody else is black. Go figure. OK, here we go again… Yesterday, I questioned the casting decisions for the new film I still haven’t seen, but am anxioius to see — “The Odyssey.” But I did so optimistically, thinking it’s likely that...

Commerce

Between the heat and the remains of Canada’s forests floating through the air, we stayed indoors Saturday and convinced Finn to binge the first season of Stranger Things with us. As a Child of the Device, she would much rather watch TikTok shorts than television, but we convinced her the series...

Weeknotes: Please Don’t Judas Me — Week 29, 2026

alex

On Tuesday the cicadas reawoke, officially marking the start of summer. Both heat and humidity dials are set to “high”: And it’s easier to deal with if you stay outdoors. Between the cracks this weekend I revamped my /about page, and have experimentally added a /now page. My recent MCR and DNB...

Playing the World you know

againstthecultofthecommodity

Yesterday I ran an almost zero prep game with no module or plan except a very basic, admittedly wild, pitch. I wouldn't call it an improvisational game though, well at least not a game of improv. It was more oracular. Idraluna wrote a post on oracular adventures here. I have experimented with...

Integer complexity and cographs

David Eppstein

The integer complexity of a number \(n\) is the minimum number of ones needed to express \(n\) as a parenthesized combination of sums and products of ones. For instance, 10 has complexity 7 as it can be expressed using seven ones, but not fewer: \[10 = (1+1+1)(1+1+1)+1.\] The largest number with...

Martha and the Vandellas: (Love is Like a) Heat Wave

abagond

Remarks: This came out in the summer of 1963. It was the number one song on the US R&B chart for four weeks. It is still a great song. It was written by Holland-Dozier-Holland, the same who wrote nearly every number-one hit sung by the Supremes. Linda Ronstadt covered this song in 1975. Martha...

coulda, but didn't......

Ralph Boumenot

The forecast for today was partly sunny and cloudy with thunder boomers possible in the PM. The morning was overcast giving way to some sun with no rain before lunch. I could have made a run to Gurneys Sawmill. This is one time when have a cargo van would have been worth its weight in gold....

Advanced Tech: X-ray Lithography

Amaldev

Earlier this week, I watched a fascinating TechTechPotato deep dive on advanced lithography. I recommend it if you have the time. Researchers have explored X-ray lithography for more than five decades, yet it has never entered mainstream chip production. Let me try throwing some light there....

Goodbye, micro page

after

I don't know why but I suddenly wanted to clean up my blog. So I did. Nothing drastic. I just gave in to the urge of removing my micro page. Only the latest entries can be read in the home page. Also changed a bit in the theme—font size, paddings, borders, etc. Barely noticeable and definitely...

The one who had lived a thousand years

Ali Reza Hayati

Two days before the end of the world, he suddenly realized he had never truly lived. His calendar was full, except for two untouched days. He panicked. Restless and furious, he went to the angel of death to ask god for more days. He shouted and cursed. He raged at the heavens and the...

Teach Once, Invoke Forever

Juan Rodriguez

A friend of mine was watching someone ask an agent to generate a PDF. He was amused. “Why are people spending tokens on that? You can run a terminal command in two seconds.” He was right about the math. He was wrong about the point. The PDF is not the point. The Task Is Not the Investment When...

About Me

IWasDoingAllRight | Online Ear Training

Hello. My name is Rick. Long ago, when I graduated high school, my dream was to become a professional jazz trumpet player. I knew that I wasn't nearly as good as my jazz heroes, but I naively assumed that college music school would transform me into a "great" player. Unfortunately, after two...

Tiny Bullets (Playstation)

Jonny

Judging by the title, I really expected Tiny Bullets to be another one of those excellent 3D shooting games secretly hiding in the Playstation library, like Gungage and Cosmowarrior Zero. Instead, it's more of a combination of Tomb Raider's meticulous 3D platforming and Resident Evil's simple "put...

If you're not excited about it... don't worry about it!

adammiceli

Hey my friend... how do we balance all of the options and opportunities that there are out there nowadays? It seems like every single day, we find 100s of potential ways to make money, find partners, improve our health, grow spirituality, etc. How can we tell the difference between what is truly...

Star Trek: The Enterprise Logs

Michael Hanscom

Book 31 of 2026: Star Trek: The Enterprise Logs ⭐️⭐️⭐️: Look – by just about any realistic objective measure (script, plot, science, fidelity to nearly any aspect of Star Trek, printing quality, etc.), these are bad; two stars would be generous. But as artifacts of 1970s Trek comics medium, they’re...

Self-Hosted Dynamic DNS

There are many dynamic DNS (DDNS) providers, but I could not find one that supports updating records using nsupdate. This guide will show how to set up a DDNS service on your own server as well as how to integrate it with macOS to automatically push updates whenever the machine IP changes. First,...
