30 years have passed and i’m still unsure what the difference is between jungle & drum and bass.

genre distinctions are often incomprehensible to me

Imagine being foolish and desperate enough to be Donald Trump’s lawyer. You’re going to be stiffed on your bill, publicly insulted by the guy, he’s not even going to follow your advice, and there’s a decent chance you’ll be charged as a co-conspirator and disbarred. There seems to be an endless parade of buffoons prepared to walk into this particular meat grinder.

I'm not worried about the AI apocalypse. I'm worried about the "VCs subsidize AI tech and sell it at a loss just long enough to make everyone rely on them (aka 'disrupting the knowledge worker industry') before bumping the price up and quality down just like Uber and Amazon and the rest" apocalypse. #ai #vc

"Now, there’s certainly quite a spectrum of possibility between “the US banking crisis worsens” and “put on your goggles and get in the War Rig”, but I’m not confident that many of those scenarios involve total collapse of the US banking system and Bitcoin not only being valuable but also practically spendable for the types of things people need dollars for today."

it's called a man page because it won't shut up about stuff you already know and doesn't actually have the answer to your question

Ordered a very dinky little business machine to run my VSTis, partly because it's nearly the size of a half-rack rompler.

This will never go online, it will never get Windows updates, and it won't be distracted by anything other than singing beautifully.

So if you've ever wondered what Entropy Circus's Sally Kitchener *really* looks like, it's pretty much this black box.

For a long time I've been following "denha" on YouTube, a Japanese hobbyist who hand-crafts beautiful "marble machines" out of wood and brass wire. His videos are very soothing, but also immensely satisfying to the engineering parts of my brain.

Here's a great video overview of a whole bunch of small marble machines he's made that all have interchangeable lift mechanisms and paths:

Who among us haven’t participated in a scheme to pay hush money to a porn star on the eve of a national election and then hide those payments illegally?

If they can come for Trump, they can come for you!
