   There are lots of people who understand how software works, including the fact that every line of code is new or else you wouldn't need to write it. Personally, I love "philosophy of software" questions like these, especially

   Belief on one deterministic future is characteristic of all religions, which I why I labeled transhumanism that way. All religons are certain that they're inevitable and the folks who don't agree are delusional. While it's ce

   But that's exactly where we are with electric cars. Only the Chinese have good ones. Surely we don't think they had to wait until Elon figured it out.

   Is that ever true! I wrote a whole Medium article[0] about this, one of my most popular. It's called "YOU ARE BUGS" as a joke from Three Body Problem on Netflix. [0] https://medium.com/gitconnected/you-ar

   Yes. I think coding is solved and has been for me in production since Claude Opus 4.5. What is not solved is the question of how or why any particular piece of software serves human and business needs, or how it might be changed to do that

   And in #27 we find the rationale behind all LLM coding agents, "Once you understand how a program works, get someone else to write it for you."

    It is? In what way is society being helped by Elon? Admittedly, morals and values vary widely, along with the idea of "what is helping," but what Musk sells is transhumanist fantasy, technocracy, and a religion of surveillance and

    An animation vocabulary that shows no animations. Probably one of the worst ways to teach something that one could think of.

    I can answer that one. They're public domain as a result of a trademark lapse by Hanna Barbera many years ago. Widely available and downloadable on the Internet archive.

    We do say that in Texas! Surprisingly, a huge number of people here are still very taken with Mr. Musk and his various hats.

    These are fascinating and everyone knows the iconic design styles this company developed. Seen from 2026, the telegram messages with art revisions look just like the prompts we give to AI tools, "Put Greetings from Yellowstone under th

    Also a problem, like what happened to Xerox and Kleenex. And another... Few people connect ChatGPT and OpenAI, and there's nothing open about it, so strange branding all around.

    Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it. The blocking and my lack of any way to know about or fix it is definitely one of the downsides of having such open and community-sourced content. Try the Scan & Remove feature an

    For me it's like a media research library. I definitely can't "couch potato out" and watch for a long time, but I never do that with any TV. My favorite thing is the variety and access to content that we don't norma

    Little known fact: Walt himself is a named inventor on the patent, and the device is the basis for all contemporary animation layers and UI effects, even in Photoshop and the browser. Walt would be pleased.
