Pretty remarkable. There are only three reasons I intend to buy a PS5 and Kojima games are one of them.

Found this article to be a bit of a slog, burying the lede until after you’ve sifted through a rambling list of irrelevant vibe coded apps by OP. The actual argument came across in places but I am unpersuaded. Unsure if that’s due to the article structure or the argument’s own merits.

Eddington (2025) was a documentary.

You’re getting downvoted for this which is crazy.

Nolan makes cerebral films for dumb people. I find most of them to be entertaining and fun, but they do lean a bit too much into profundity as a vibe without a whole lot of actual substance.

my gf in Tokyo years ago was a country folk singer. played slide on a metal resonator guitar. for much of my time there my evenings were spent at folks and roots music bars, listening to talented live musicians. in States we live in abject poverty, culturally.

I just bought this paperback.

your reasoning falls apart because mass transit options are inherently faster due to the geometric-space efficiencies gained by their form factors. You just need to induce enough people to participate in it to cross a tipping point where it becomes financially viable to run regular service, e.g., in NYC taking a train is often the fastest.

Reminds me of this:

“There are no shortcuts to knowledge, especially knowledge gained from personal experience. Following conventional wisdom and relying on shortcuts can be worse than knowing nothing at all.” ― Ben Horowitz

This is precisely the reasoning I bring up. In essence traffic congestion is an externality not unlike pollution. What society now pays in the form of a financial levy it formerly paid in the form of a wasted time. We've made explicit a cost that was already there, and by doing so the system can respond to it and behave more intelligently.

This is a curious form of fundamentalism. "All motion is good, and damn any effort to coordinate it."

Finally a budget cut I can actually celebrate.

what if the movie is actually bad
