What kind of universe lets you wake up in the morning? That’s not a trick question. It’s not theology, and it’s not some late-night, dorm room, stoner puzzle. It’s a plain reality question. Before you ground coffee, checked email, praised the dog, negotiated with the cat, kissed your spouse, read...

Oh to be nineteen again. Oh wait, nineteen and angry? Maybe not. There’s a bit of 1950’s nostalgia in this character. The line work in the eyes and nose remind me of those “learn to draw comics” advertisements with a reference guide to facial expressions. I do appreciate the stylized (and...

Ya no solo conservamos momentos mediante imágenes; comenzamos a vivirlos bajo la posibilidad constante de convertirlos en evidencia. La frontera entre experimentar y mostrar se vuelve cada vez más difícil de distinguir.

El decrecimiento no es una colección de gestos sueltos. Es un edificio conceptual que descansa sobre tres pilares que no son negociables ni intercambiables entre sí: la suficiencia, la redistribución y los cuidados

La empresa aprendió a comunicarse con velocidad. La pregunta es si, en ese proceso, olvidó cómo pensar sin interrupciones.

China dropped its urban jobs target for the first time since the 1990s in its five-year plan, citing AI-driven economic shifts. In tech, Scarf moved away from Haskell after seven years, blaming long compilation times as a bottleneck. A performance regression in Open MPI on Slingshot interconnects...

I’ve decided that Archive sounds dry and musty. It’s a rare reader who would venture into a section of a blog called Archive. So I’m rebranding to Explore. All my hundreds of post titles are still listed by date and you can click on them to read the articles. But you can also filter those titles,...

No, this is not another “infinite zoom” workflow. We’ve had infinite zooms, recursive img2img, outpainting and endless upscaling for years. They all eventually hit the same wall: the deeper you […] The post The Latent Space Technique Adobe (and Everyone Else) Will Steal Next (Infinite Crop/Zoom...

...those who view the world as a university for the soul, who surrender to greater powers that fashion the universe, infinity is the no-place, the no material form, the no dimension; true freedom.

About twenty years ago, I was working on what would eventually become RavenDB, and I needed an engine to handle queries. Writing a query engine from scratch is its own very large project, quite separate from writing a database engine. I made a decision that I still consider one of the smartest I...

Hay poderes que no aparecen en los organigramas ni en los archivos. La favorita representa esa influencia silenciosa que nace del acceso y desaparece con una simple retirada de la mirada.

From 2008 to 2011, I quit my tech job, became a photographer, and lived in a car I named Kermit. It was the beginning of my journey into minimalism — exploring what it meant to live life outside the box, with all the freedom, uncertainty, beauty, and challenges that came with...

Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass brings a slapdash quality to a comedy that opts for a glut of gags that bob on a sea of silliness. Director David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer) delivers a preposterous story, unremitting goofiness, and a disregard for credibility, driving his movie to zany...

I already knew that Penelope Cruz can be a terrific comic actress, but The Invite, a movie about sex and relationships, reminded me how good she can be. I can’t say I’m a huge Seth Rogen fan, but he gives what might be his best performance in this Olivia Wilde-directed movie. Wilde also has a...
