It hurts me that 160 sound visualizations later I am less interested in sound than I would've been with one, just one, compelling viz.

My Mom was worried I wouldn't finish my thesis so instead of encouraging me she encouraged an LLM. She says now I don't have to worry about submitting a proof anymore, there is a counter-example.

This is the state of affairs today and how everyday people will talk about it.

We are so starved for aura we have to farm into the future now, I too would like to dine.

We are now in a weird middle ground where we want to write things OCR algorithms have trouble transcribing which also means we write things people with accessibility issues have trouble seeing. No child left behind?

If you can get a cautionary tale on having children out of this article, your powers of interpretation are immense or you didn’t read the article at all…

“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” why bother reading the rest of the story

So let it be. Why don't we build another place for our memories to go? Why don't we build the _unstructured_ internet, where the intelligence is not in the mind but in the eye and the pleasure is in finding not in disseminating?

This is really neat!

A question I had about QR codes:

Let’s say I want to produce a QR code that is as close as possible to an image (let’s say the Nike swoosh logo), if I just added that to the center and added the 3 orientation markers on the corners it wouldn’t be a proper QR code yet, my question is what is the minimal amount of edits I would need to do from that symbol to get a valid QR code?

I’m thinking of something like people buying and hoarding domains in early 00’s (even now), if I could generate the minimal QR code (minimal is important here in the same way that .com is treated as superior to .ca or .net) of well-known symbols and buy the resulting domain it points to (if it even points to a domain) couldn’t I sell this to companies with the associated domain as a re-direct as well?
