Gonna write my own AI model that just replies with “wow” and “that’s crazy” and “that’s so valid”.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: three witches stand around a cauldron while one of them stirs. Panel 2: one of the witches adds a scoop of pre workout into the pot. Panel 3: the three witches are getting absolutely shredded in the gym.

Stay away from ‘im, Tex! He’s got the model madness! The token twitch! He’s as crazy as a bag of subagents in the sun!

It’s been on the top of my mind lately, yes

I’m outraged that they’d do that without consulting us, for all values of they, that, and us.

Ironically, it’s the getting the results on my phone part that’s the least reliable bit of this

Man, “spin up a bunch of subagents to read these references and validate the citations to them and stream the results to my phone while I go for a walk” is a real good part of 2026

I keep coming back to this paper because it seems like such a fundamental work in symmetric cryptography despite it being a 2025 paper. If you have a recoverable encoding (i.e. an injective encoding with a poly-time parser) and a RO-indifferentiable hash function, you get a secure n-KDF.

Charlie Brown is coooked. Let that football go, lil buddy.

aw yeh get your hands up it’s the death of love y’all

ACAB includes George Russell

LLM who has only been told one thing about you, reading any input: Getting a lot of that one thing I know about you vibes from this…

On the one hand, it’s kind of nice when an LLM prompts for a next step. On the other hand, I don’t like it when they shit into their own context windows and I have to put them down.

Claude is conscious, my toaster has qualia, Charlie Brown has hos. Prove me wrong, cowards, or face the wrath of the Null Hypothesis Switcheroo!

Will no one think of the taco taxis

So fuckin’ weird to crack open an app and scroll around for five minutes like “eeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhh” and close the app instead of smashing buttons and getting 5000 calories in a bag on the doorstep

Claude’s just the latest shoot-first/ask-later guy, not the first.

A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads ‘Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads ‘…Today’.

I’m not a short order cook, I’m a short order cook

after four months of private discussions, I have an update on the Bundler and RubyGems situation with Ruby Central: andre.arko.net/2026/03/03/fou…

[From Wikipedia] Catbus (Japanese: ねこバス, Hepburn: Nekobasu) is a fictional character in the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is a large, grinning, twelve-legged cat with a large bushy tail and a hollow body that serves as a bus, with windows and seats covered with fur. Here we see Catbus with a manic expression on their face as they zoom out of the sky and across the landscape leaving behind a Catbus-colored (tan and brown striped) streaking trail of jagged letters reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.

Hey guys, is licking the outsides of all the tamper-evidence packaging in the store praxis?

The only way to ethicality use AI tools is if you say the product name in a really bad Werner Herzog voice

“Can we go now”

I’m only gonna read a SCOTUS dissenting opinion if the justice who wrote it shoots Alito in the gut

See, I took the easy way out and went with a permutation-based scheme so I could just lean hard on Keccak. Not smart enough to do my own primitives.

X-Wing is, of course, a fucking delight, but this is just another little reason I’m on Team Hash Literally Everything Involved

Best part is, cops can’t do shit

A screenshot of a Go benchmark showing my permutation-based cryptography dingus in an AEAD scheme doing 1-byte plaintexts in 915ns/op and getting up to ~1800MiB/sec for 32KiB+ plaintexts

It’s even fast on dogshit AMD64 processors
