OH: "One is the only-est number."


Elmer Fudd is walking down the street when he happens upon a homeless woman, who cups her hands and begs, "Would you please help a weeping widow?" Elmer waits expectantly for a few seconds and finally asks, "A weeping wittle what?"

If you've ever drawn any illustrations, you probably know that the artists often recommend to flip the piece you are working on to reset your mental state so you can notice mistakes you weren't noticing while working on it. Debuggers have similar effect I think.

Wheeler: "The speed of light is the only natural constant that has the necessary units to convert a time to a length."

Light is distinctive only insomuch as it (like any massless particle) experiences no time, so all of its velocity vector points in the space directions, and therefore it moves with a purely *spatial* speed of c. c is merely the conversion factor between space and time. (4/4)

If we're being honest, British English absolutely cooked with the pronunciations of 'aluminum' and 'laboratory.'

how come nobody is talking about how much shittier eng on-calls are thanks to blind integrations of AI-generated code? LLMs are great coders but horrible engineers. no, the solution is not “prompt the LLM to write more documentation and tests” (cont.)

Utility functions are contentious so we agree on a mediocre implicit utility rather than pick a better explicit one.


Money is social credit.


Morals are something like the axioms of our social rules, but the system is only approximately consistent.
