re: census: online only, but nw, if you don't have access to a computer, you can use your smartphone too! …only the site doesn't work, there's no backup for people w/o internet access, the website "is experiencing a high volume of traffic," and their help line won't connect.

I'm guessing @stats_canada is about to get a lot of questions about why the census isn't working. this ought to be amusing :)

Wake now, my merry friends! Forget the nightly noises! Ring a ding dillo del! I recently joined Antithesis, where I'm building a new browser testing framework called Bombadil. We're doing this openly, no stealth mode shenanigans this time: github.com/antithesishq/bomb…

Chinese scientists have developed, The best shortest-path algorithm in 41 years! A team from Tsinghua University has broken Dijkstra's "sorting barrier" - the first improvement since 1984. Just use for a world-map 🤯 Paper - arxiv.org/pdf/2504.17033 x.com/0x0SojalSec/status/200…

Lovingly edited videos of people with unusual tacit knowledge! Yes! I have no idea how we're going to solve the problem of conveying tacit knowledge, but video seems like such a powerful avenue: there's so much in expression, voice tone, the environment, etc.
1/ Today @stripepress is releasing the first two mini-documentaries in a series we’re calling Tacit. They’re vignettes of craftspeople who provide a pretty compelling answer to the question, “after AI, does mastery still matter?” This episode features Christophe Laudamiel, master perfumer at Osmo. Christophe is the creator or co-creator of dozens of scents, most notably, Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren, Abercrombie Fierce, and Tom Ford Amber Absolute. We spent a week with Christophe, following him from his office, to his home (which too, looks suspiciously like an office), observing him as he built fragrances essentially from scratch, isolated problematic notes (TIL: certain fragrance notes, when put together, can produce an unfortunate ‘wet dog’ smell), and even discovered new molecules. Christophe is an archetype of individual we’re obsessed with: *he’s* obsessed with mastery for its own sake. For the past 30 years he’s been at the forefront of perfumery, and now he wonders if and how computers can augment his craft.

I must not vibe. Vibe is the mind-killer. Vibe is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my code. I will permit it to pass out of me and through code review. And when it has gone past CI I will turn the inner eye to see its path to prod. Where the code has gone there will be no slop. Only I will remain.
