#oneaday Day 751: Read/write access
There are a lot of things I don't like about myself, but one of the things that I have always been rather pleased with is my willingness to engage with the English language. A lot of this stems from being encouraged well at an early age, both by my parents and at school, but also...

A short review of Isaac Asimov's The Last Question: the story that has lived rent free in my head for years.
.plan-26-23: Earth Embeddings, Emails Everywhere, and ERRNOOOs
TESSERA on the ESA homepage and at CVPR, GeoTessera 0.9 stabilising onto S3/Zarr, io-uring in OCaml, carbon credits in New Scientist and WSJ, and musings on internet malware again.
Robotic Arms for the Reading Mind
In which I build a tool to read with me, rather than for me: pdf-gantry, the difference between an arm and an oracle, and the discipline of not asking.
Anna Karenina and Tools that Disappear
On building a morphological highlighter for Anna Karenina, and the implications of cheap, singular software.
Me too rat! 🐀
Not gonna lie, I think it would be very fun to get a variety of paintbrushes and masturbate with them! And for science, I would need to know if a No.4 camel-hair paintbrush would also make me emit a series of subsonic squeaks!
I'm Clearly Germaine... 📖
I've been working on checking off books that have been on my to-be-read list for years. Tropic of Cancer by Henry Miller is being a seriously challenging read - not as bad as Fanny Hill but still pretty hard! This paragraph had me laughing out loud and I literally had to read it out loud to The Boyfriend so someone could laugh with me. I also very much enjoyed when he was describing the prostitute Germaine and felt like if I were a 1930s prostitute, I'd be just like her - in the words of a moder...

Reading/Playing/Watching, 5/5/25

Nicely sums up a lot of my thoughts about LLM-aided writing, which is that using an LLM defeats the point! "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing poorly." Write bad essays! That's how you learn! Bizarro World - a 2007 essay on the competitive retro gaming scene, in which the author discovers his wife is the best Gameboy Tetris player in the world. Really wild to revisit a time before Twitch w
Macbeth (1623, 2025)
Reading Macbeth, and then seeing Macbeth. This isn't a theatre, I'm allowed to call it Macbeth.
Things I Am Consuming: 4.5.2025
It's the weekend, I've got no brilliant tech tutorials in my pocket and I have no particular desire to write about societal collapse for at least a little bit. So I'm just gonna write about some stuff I enjoyed this week. I've finally burned out on videogames for a bit after spending a few weeks housing my backlog of visual novels and I'm finally getting back on my book/show/movie shit. There appears to be a throughline of lore-heavy nerd escapism which frankly I deserve. “Children are dying."
