In-reply-to » I wrote a 'banner'-like program for Plan 9 (and p9p) that uses the Unicode box drawing characters: http://txtpunk.com/banner/index.html

I feel like this could be borderline useful if I stuck a web UI on it. šŸ¤”

Matrix vs. XMPP

The Chad XMPP

What are XMPP and Matrix and what makes them special?

XMPP and Matrix are two decentralized and federated free sofware projects for chat, including true end-to-end encrypted chat.

Users can either install the software on their own server if they want, but they can also easily register on any public server—both allow any XMPP or Matrix user to talk to users on their server or on any other one. In essence, it works like email: you might have an em … ⌘ Read more

I want to somehow use my monome grid to build out coarse vocal tract shapes for a physical model like !voc or @!(sndkitref ā€œtractā€)!@. 16 diameters with 8 steps of resolution, or 32 diameters with 4 steps of resolution. #halfbakedideas

i’m not really advocating that anybody should be on more networks, but FWIW libera.chat has been very nice, the staff has been doing a great job, and it’s the nearest ā€œspiritual successorā€ to what we all liked about Freenode.ļæ¼

I put my mouse on my Mac on the right side for reasons. My Windows machine always has the mouse on the right. Wanted to go Back on my Mac and…pressed mouse4, just like I’d do on Windows. Muscle-memory prompts are…interesting.

@niplav@niplav.github.io I like it, but you probably shouldn’t take only my word for it. I suspect it’s piggybacking a lot off of how much I liked its SNES predecessor and know/like the vibe of * Mana games. Also, the last three JRPGs I’ve played were Dragon’s Dogma, NieR:Automata, and…Chrono Trigger. I don’t know what’s good and new in JRPGs ever since Square left Nintendo. I’m just glad they’re back.

In-reply-to » I just timed it: 59 seconds for my Raspberry Pi to boot, 33 of which is waiting for my keyboard firmware to initialize. That's just absurd.

ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ It’s a funky mechanical thing running QMK, but I have two others that fit that description which don’t behave like this.

Conspiratorial Thinking and ā€œMultiple Outsā€

How to do magic tricks…

Magicians have this concept called ā€œMultiple Outs.ā€ It’s actually how you can do simple magic tricks. Suppose you have a person pick a card and say you will guess the suit of their card.

They pick a diamond card and announce it, and you tell them to check underneath their chair to reveal a slip of paper that says, ā€œYou will pick a diamond card.ā€

That might sound like a nice trick, but if they had picke … ⌘ Read more

major difference between updating on evidence vs. morals: we know that a bayesian is converging (monotonically?) towards truth with each piece of evidence, while with moral progress, it seems likely that we are not bounded in how wrong our updates can be (even if we grant that the arc bends towards justice in the end). we might need to escape moral local maxima. therefore, it seems good to preserve option value.

I can often distinguish sympathetic mockery from sneering mockery, even with relatively litlte context. I wonder why – what am I picking up on? What is the distinct way of making fun of someone you actually like vs. don’t like?
