It's insufficient and tacky af, but it's a start. Go ye thereforth, etc. etc. etc.
lol I really need to stop using this ancient ~ but I keep finding lil surprises like this `-rw-r--r-- 1 atobey wheel 106007 Aug 20 2014 .spark_history`
it was a 2048 game demo with every move in cassandra and spark jobs and d3 and balanceboard support, typed with my paws like a cavewoman
beginning to suspect that half the excitement about LLMs is the feeling of agency/control they give, because nothing else in the world is controllable at this point. not sure that's the right way to solve the problem!
I've released a new word game called Parseword, that tries to make cryptic crosswords more accessible. You can play it here:

Heeey, look, it's me!
I'm super hyped to announce that @bsky.app have given me a grant to work on the standards for the Federated Credential Management API (or FedCM) to make them really work for all decentralized web applications.

GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA
federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL
tell everyone you know

it really is shocking how much self deprecation is seen as a cultural requirement for 'serious art.' 'real' artists are not allowed to exalt their work and must present it publicly as a sort of 'i dont think this is very good but maybe you will get around to it.' HECK THAT. love yourself
A Boston Globe article on a clown convention reminded me of the time I walked into a hotel lobby, looked around at the people sitting there, and said to my friends, “What is this, a clown convention?,” then one of the people, who had heard me, indignantly yelled, “WE’RE MAGICIANS!” 🤡🪄🎩🪖🐰

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Pictured is "After hours Geordi La Forge." He's wearing a velvety cushy soft looking future space guy sweater and he's ready to chillax to the max. Also and always wearing his banana clip looking eye visor. Closed caption reads, "Maybe a little soft jazz."
I recommend Smooth Federation - A Star Trek Jazz Tribute by Andrew Allen.

A gothic castle in the transylvanian mountains. A great bear of a man, waring a stovepipe hat and carrying a cane: "Now that you are my bride, you will never leave this castle!" His new bride replies "Wow! Your library is amazing!" He continues "Beyond the castle is a high wall with no gate, and beyond that is a deep. Dark forest with no path." She pulls a volume from a great bookcase, "I suppose it's my library too, now we're married." He goes on "The forest is crawling with ravenous wolves, malignant birds and the spirits of long-dead travellers." Ignoring him, carrying a pile of hardbacks "So many books! I can't believe My luck!" He has sprouted wings, claws and cloven hoofs. "When the sun sets, I transform into a wild beast and soar into the night, seized by a terrible bloodlust!" She sits, examining her books as he flies out the window "Ok. I'll stay here and read. See you in the morning"

What I mean here is that every time oil & gas prices spike, it will inspire another wave of solar + storage + electricity substitution investment somewhere. That infrastructure is functionally permanent, and each wave of deployment will drive costs further down learning curves.

Congratulations!
Your gentle reminder that when the Carrington event impacted on telecommunications it was largely a copper based network.
Today’s fibre and wireless doesn’t give a rat’s ass about solar activity.
Apologies to all civil defence exercise writers who have to rethink their scenarios.
On the other hand you as an individual have some unique advantages:
- you care about your own variation
- your observations are naturally longitudinal
- you have deep and immediate experience with your context
I think people need to design for their own learning the opposite of the way most scientists need to design their experiments HEAR ME OUT

A color-coded binary tree displaying how to expand (x+y)^3. There are 8=2^3 terms on the bottom, and by putting them in "alphabetical order" and grouping like terms, you see that (x+y)^3 = x^3 + 3x^2y + 3xy^2 + y^3.
My coauthor Dave Perkinson made this diagram to explain the binomial theorem and I think it's the perfect distillation. Here's our draft book, Discrete Structures, if you want more: kyleormsby.github.io/files/113spr... 🧮
Seeing people use this to experiment w/turning Claude time from automated lecture into active learning & self-testing has brought me joy!
I added a Measure This resource to the repo, because my first thought was: how can you all get more credit for this at work??
