These are quite magnificent
when i left Fable 5.2 to choose its subjects, some topics recurred. it likes light, hands, and people’s work or people working. it gave me quite a few airplanes, wind turbines, and data centers, and appears to find traffic quite interesting

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's email to Nvidia employees:
To my colleagues at NVIDIA,
I owe my family and all of you an apology.
I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.
Throughout my life, my family has given me love and support. They deserve my honesty and loyalty. Instead, I let them down and damaged the life we built together. I take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused, and I accept the criticism that comes with it.
To my wife and family: I love you. I know an apology cannot undo what I have done. I hope our family will heal and that, over time, I can earn back your trust.
To my colleagues at NVIDIA, including those I have worked alongside for decades, and to our board, partners, and shareholders around the world: you deserve better from me. Leading NVIDIA is the privilege of my life. My responsibility is to serve you and be worthy of your trust. I have fallen short of that responsibility. I am fully committed to NVIDIA and will work to earn back your confidence.
Regarding the national security concerns raised in news reports, NVIDIA’s Board of Directors has initiated an independent investigation. I support the investigation and will cooperate fully. I love our country and our company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America’s national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American.
My family bears no responsibility for my choices. I do. Please give them privacy.
Jensen

You don't need to write an essay; SF is tasteless because it's filled with staid business people and autistic engineers. It's not that complicated.
SF has no culture.
This statement is true, but why?
By all rights there are plenty of people there who are adorning themselves and their homes with objects of high taste.
But SF really does have no culture, how can this be and why is it so?
Culture is fundamentally connected to leisure and how one chooses to waste time.
But SF has no wasted time: there is no more breakfast there is coffee chat, there is no lunch there is founder meeting, there is no supper, there’s your investor dinner followed by your next event.
So it’s simple really:
a) culture is fundamentally about leisure, waste and the non-productive ways of spending time
and
b) SF has eliminated all non-productive time
therefore
c) having no non-productive time, SF has no culture.
No amount of things acquired can change this.
Finally
d) the great irony of this syllogism is that it is precisely the moments of non-productivity that are critical for spiritual refreshment and new inspiration and so ironically, they are among the most productive.
(SF knows this and it is why they flee to burning man, but this cannot cure the city)

It would be nice if cut / paste operated with a queue: You could progressively add stuff into your clipboard, and it would exit the clipboard upon paste, allowing you to accumulate a bunch of diff fields for example and paste them

It’s incredible how much the “nations are invented” lie has rotted people’s brains
Is there a book that explores why England was not able to fully incorporate the Irish and Scottish into an English identity while Italian and German unification was so much more recent and yet more successful

It doesn't matter what your current job is; in 10 years it will be sales. All roads lead to sales. You may not like, but sales is at the tippy top of the value chain.

Just realized this recapitulates the Peter Thiel uncertain/certain pessimism/optimism matrix. Oh well, nothing new under the sun.
Europe has a sort of heaviness to the air that I appreciate. The people are less friendly, but they seem to have more interiority. The Ghosts of all their ancestors walk the same streets they do. In America everything feels new and hopeful but also uncertain

"Software engineering" as a profession is dying
SWEs will cope and say that actually the job is "changing" or moving up the value chain, but in truth the job is simply being solved
90% of SWEs today will not be "engineering" software in any meaningful sense in 10 years

I love software engineering but seeing seniors talk about how they don't read or write code anymore is kind of killing my spirit.
not exactly sure what to do about this.

Actually they have names like "Mohammed" and "Mohamad" and "Mohamet" or alternatively "Muhammad"
Muslim names be like SERVANT OF THE MERCIFUL and Christians have shit like MichaelCommunity noteMichael comes from the Hebrew mī kāʼēl, meaning "Who is like God?". It is a rhetorical question implying none is like God, and names an archangel recognized in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Four horsemen of the Slopocalypse:
- Generic indie game demo with a quirky art style
- Data visualization, especially a map of NYC, SF, or Flight paths
- Physics/particle toy
- Anything ported/recreated in a browser

Seems Americans are ultrasensitive to price increases. They punished Democrats for inflation before, they're punishing Republicans for inflation now.
Hence, there's only one stable governing ideology for America, one laser-focused on making prices low—technocratic neoliberalism.
