I have to say, the one good thing about Zuckerberg is the way he acts as a repeated and decisive rebuttal of the notion that the world would be a better place if only the techbros had some sort of education in Classics and the Humanities more generally. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx29e0w3gkvo

Funny how the expected successful career length of elite women athletes has increased in a range of sports where it’s become less acceptable for coaches to be pedophiles. The validation of this observation is left to an enterprising Economist with a panel dataset and a plausibly exogenous IV.

I'm reminded of a remark by the noted social theorist of gift exchange Fred Rogers: “And those handmade presents that children often bring home from school: They have so much value! The value is that the child put whatever he or she could into making them. The way we parents respond to the giving of such gifts is very important. To the child, the gift is really self”. The gift is really self, you Google AI weirdos.

Good Lord, how depressing is that Google Gemini ad about getting the AI to write your kid’s fan letter to her hero athlete? Why not get Midjourney to make a picture to enclose as well? What do they think it means for a child to write a fan latter, or for a recipient to read one?

This is of course a comically stupid take but reminds me the opposite is what’s actually true. A tremendously useful feature of democracies generally is that leaders get to exit to a comfortable retirement on their estate rather than waiting nervously for a rival or former associate to murder them.

It's fun that people come up with truly clever little hacks like the udm14 trick for Google search and find ways to integrate it into their setups, but I can't help but feel that it has the same vibe as those allegedly heart-warming news stories where a kid runs a lemonade stand to raise money to pay off their classmates' school lunch debt or their Mom's medical bills.

In my data wrangling class today I showed a couple of database things, e.g. reading an 80GB CSV into duckdb and querying it. To make the point that you don't need a supercomputer I did it on a 16GB Mac Mini that lives in my house. R and Emacs inside tmux. The best part: at the end, I closed my laptop. But a student had a question, so I reopened it. Tailscale reconnected the ssh session and tmux reattached the still-running Emacs and R as if nothing had happened. Good WHAT SORCERY moment.

A while ago I built a working PDP-11/70 scale replica from a fabulous kit that Oscar Vermeulen sells. It blinks away on my bookshelf now. https://kieranhealy.org/blog/archives/2021/10/09/building-a-pdp-11/70-kit/

I feel like it's time for a more widespread revival of the 1970s design aesthetic for computer terminals, input faceplates, and keyboards.

My book with Marion Fourcade, "The Ordinal Society”, now has a website and is available for preorder. So go click a link and put your name down for the absolute best kind of holiday present, viz, the sort that arrives next April, long after you have forgotten about it. But then you’ll have the book. It's good, I promise! A highly readable and acute analysis of technology and society! Packed with jokes!*
*In truth there are only a few jokes. But they're good.

In another triumph for The Writers, ChatGPT’s Sam Altman seems to have been fired because people came to believe he had a tendency to just make up plausible-sounding stuff in response to questions.

When you are trying very hard to deny that the main kind of stock you are long on these days is laughing stock.

Marc I know you're upset and have a lot on your plate but it's just 75 pages of assigned reading a week, attendance at Section, and a 10 page final paper, OK?

You should read Andreessen’s manifesto thing and then, out of sheer irritation, immediately preorder Marion’s and my new book.
