to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Unfortunately I did not pay for Premium Grandma w/out Ads and had to settle for free Grandma, and she starts every conversation telling me it would be cool if I got a job with ICE.

New paper: Simulating Time With Square-Root Space
people.csail.mit.edu/rrw/time-vs-...
It's still hard for me to believe it myself, but I seem to have shown that TIME[t] is contained in SPACE[sqrt{t log t}].
To appear in STOC. Comments are very welcome!

Sprawling multi-part feature at @quantamagazine.bsky.social on emergent spacetime. Fun!

If you are sad that we are destroying our planet, take some solace in how well we are doing at predicting that destruction! Yay, humanity.

I know it's cliché but it cannot be overstated how remarkable Feynman's Lectures on Physics truly are. The way he presents presents the essence of physics, there really nothing like it.

I'd say the comic is still accurate since it was roughly 5 years after it was published that such tasks started to become trivial.

Cara, eu adoro zettelkasten. Pra mim é especialmente interessante eu poder começar a escrever o que estou pensando e me preocupar com a estrutura só depois.

This is one of the thing I love about Julia. It let's you use prime, Greek letters, subscripts, superscripts etc. as identifiers.

Não precisa ter medo. Computação quântica é o tipo de coisa que tem um nome assustador mas é bem tranquilo. Basta estar familiarizado com álgebra linear e números complexos e tu já consegue entender as bases de informação quântica e os principais algoritmos.

Your SSH honeypot fakes a Linux system and logs the threat actor's commands.
My SSH honeypot hijacks the threat actor's terminal to play the music video of Rick Astley's 1987 pop hit "Never Gonna Give You Up" while ignoring Ctrl-C.
We are not the same.
