It has landed! a happy/sad day here. @cstross thank you for your stellar writing over the years 🙂 #charlesstross #laundryfiles
C.This is very cool, and though making or drawing them is not for me, I'm glad these booklets exist!
The curious part of me wants to know if you have the patterns for any of the ones that transport you between alternate timelines 😉

Wim 🅾→ⓉMy holiday reading was two novels by Charles Stross: one Laundry novel, The Fuller Memorandum, which I read out of sequence, and The Halting State.
They are both fun reads with lots of ideas. The Fuller Memorandum is set in 2008 and was published in 2010; The Halting State was published in 2008 and is set in 2017. The are both quite geeky but The Halting State much more so, it must be the most unashamedly geeky novel I have ever read. I can recommend them both but beware that the Laundry series is about Lovecraftian horrors and magic is just advanced computing; and Halting State is about online gaming. Which I don't do at all, and yet I enjoyed it.

Charles Stross, the author ( @cstross ), posted a new blog entry on why high-level executives at companies are pushing "AI" use so strongly onto their workers, even though empirical studies show negative productivity gains:
https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2025/12/barnums-law-of-ceos.html
This may be more or less implied by what he wrote, but I would add that high-level executives aren't as likely to see the "this thing generated an incorrect answer / solution" aspect of "AI" use because being empirically correct is not as important to the things a high-level executive does. It's more important that they make decisions quickly and get things moving rather than making the correct decisions. [1]
Less charitably, top executives can't tell the "AI" is giving wrong answers, because they don't know the right answers.
[1] Of course it would be best for all if they could make the correct decision quickly, but you can't have everything. Where would you keep it?
