Somehow have now steered my algorithm into a "mindless hype" focus area, so I'm logging off for a while.

I'm not much of a comics guy, but I've always found myself enthralled by Mystique from X-Men. A woman who could change her appearance completely at will would open up a world of possibilities for me, and I can't help but wonder what it would be like if my wife had such abilities.
The only limiting factor would be my own imagination, and finally I would not be constrained by the her aging flesh. She would of course indulge me in my most imaginative fantasies, altering contour, texture, and shape to appease my every desire.
I imagine the anticipation building as she leans in close to my ear, whispering of exotic and otherworldly appearances that she yearns to try on for me. An infinite wardrobe of possibilities tailored to fulfil my deepest appetites. I lock eyes and gaze into her, hoping to catch a glimpse of that burning spark the moment it gutters and dies out as it has a thousand times before, as I tell her yet again to make herself look like her sister.
It's pretty clear from plot context that the Combine Advisor that kills Eli Vance is an agent of divine justice, punishing him for trying to manipulate stone cold sigma truecel Gordon Freeman into matrimony.

Americans have a "revealed preference" for doing less of basically everything except going online and I have serious doubts that this is making us happier.

One of my great strengths, and great weaknesses, is that this would have absolutely no effect on me at all.

i picked up the key from under the doormat, and a clanker rolling nearby went: "if i may, perhaps it isn't a great security measure to leave it there" within earshot of a neighbour.
i told him to mind his own goddamn business and put the key back.
next day the neighbour had my tv.
i swear im gonna kill that clanker.
I really appreciate Michael P. Gibson, whose chronic inability to make sense of the written word is an amazingly good argument for staying in school.
One of the charming things about China is that, on account of their lingering lack of deep initiate familiarity with capitalism & the widespread presence of new family wealth, we're going to be treated to a Cambrian Explosion of insanely idiotic failson corporate suicides.
Around 3 million Chinese private companies face a generational handover in the next 10 years, and it‘s the founders' kids who grew up in the digital age we should probably be watching.
Today, we visited a mattress factory in Foshan where the son is taking over, and he's gone all in on the brand:
> built an entire museum of sleep explaining the production process
> added AI point-cloud scans to match mattresses to body types
> or my favourite: wrote a song about the company's history and sang it himself (yes, this was pre-AI slop; last video).
Reminds me of many other new owners on TikTok rethinking online marketing.
Next to highly automated consumer lines, they sell handmade mattresses filled with white horsetail hair that go for up to ¥600,000 (~€80k, second pic).
Horsehair in mattresses is an old European high-end tradition. Tail hair is longer and thicker than mane, so it springs back better and lasts for decades. White hair is finer and rarer and so in part it’s about selling the idea of luxury that some people care about.

oh look! if it isn’t the people pushing fearmongering bullshit
(“misaligned AI will conduct autonomous self-directed attacks to copy itself and gain power”)
pretending it’s the same thing we had been saying all along
(“AI will make more people able to start attacks; we need to make sure it’s available for defence”)
and forgetting the last bit
Something I've learned from the reaction to the eMudhra situation is that absolutely no one has any idea how network security works, or even really what its basic concepts are, which explains quite a lot about recent news cycles.
I would feel favorably towards this if it hadn't been presented with a rendering of the single ugliest property development I've ever seen.
One of San Francisco's largest redevelopment projects could completely transform nearly 19 acres of land near Downtown.
Plans are moving forward for the redevelopment of the Caltrain Railyards at 4th and King in SoMa.
The project could include:
• Up to 5,834 apartments
• Up to 5.6 million SF of commercial space
• 160,000+ SF of retail
• A completely rebuilt Caltrain station
• More than 4 acres of public open space
• Multiple skyscrapers reaching 350 to 600 feet
• A potential 850-foot tower
This land is currently occupied by railroad tracks, platforms, maintenance facilities and the existing Caltrain station.
The proposal would modernize the transit infrastructure, relocate train storage and maintenance, and create an entirely new mixed-use neighborhood above and around the station.
Thousands of people could be living, working, shopping and spending time in what is currently a massive rail yard.
And all directly connected to one of the Bay Area's most important transit corridors.
The project is now entering environmental review, with construction potentially starting in 2029 and taking 15 to 20 years to complete....
There's obviously a long road ahead, but I love seeing developers think this big about underutilized urban land.
This could completely reshape SF.
