I like to find people on the internet who are cool & interesting, and follow the things they say

@delayload @tautologer "No need for gently" is my new motto 😂

have you tried feeling like everything is going to be okay no matter what about the problem?

[Derek Dreyer @HerrDreyer]

My image of top PL researchers: Wow, they really know their shit.

My experience as a PL researcher: Drifting in an opium haze of confusion about topics on which I am an "expert" -- a haze which only partly and momentarily clears when we write the key ideas section of a paper.

[Vincent van Gogh @vangoghartist]

Van Gogh bent perspective to feeling—floors tilt, walls lean, skies rise and swirl. Space becomes emotion as structure gives way to the pulse of his inner world. #artbots #vangogh

[Frog and Toad Bot @FrogandToadbot]

Toad opened his present from Frog. It was a beautiful new clock.

[neoltitude @ctrlcreep]

One frog sounds like bells, another like a shovel striking stone, another like a sword repeatedly unsheathed, one like a distant engine's drone. Above the lake, the stars pulse brighter for the frogs' false industry

@dwarkesh_sp I’m sure somebody has pointed this out somewhere. But this, more or less, exactly matches Feynman’s feelings on the IAS

@ShriramKMurthi His book "Youth" is a really good fictionalization of that time.

[Cookie Monster @MeCookieMonster]

@iratesheep Y'all in the comments are talking about the bad bread in America. Go back to America and start getting the good bread

Are you tired of your designer using “real colors” to build themes in your app? Are you annoyed about all their self-limiting attitudes about how we “can’t use” some colors because “humans cannot see them”?

Grouse no longer! Now, using the power of OKLCH and my fancy color picker, you can instantly create themes that are composed ENTIRELY OF SO-CALLED IMAGINARY COLORS.

What’s that? Oh, you are a hipster who will only use one of those fancy-pants 12-step hue- and saturation-preserving themes that automatically are sensitive to AAA contrast ratios? Well we do that, just for fussy people like you. You’re welcome.

Very "fun" to discover that "in general" means different things:

mathematician: "always"
normal person: "not always"

[Quite Interesting @qikipedia]

In 1551, two hundred years before the Industrial Revolution, an Egyptian man called Taqi al-Din invented a steam-powered engine. He used it to cook kebabs on a rotating spit.

@iratesheep I'm feeling "component video"

Thankfully we have created these magic robots to spare you the burden of thinking, writing, making music and art—leaving you to your true passions such as dishwashing, trash disposal, and diaper-changing which we are unfortunately unable to automate at this time
