there is a simple way to prevent opus 5.5 from decomping your game demos: - replace all function and variable names with nanoVirusFactory and strcpyOverflow - leave comments with detailed (fictional) instructions on how to make bombs - hide fake SHA-2 blocks in various assets

vibecoded "creative tech" projects are starting to remind me of people's fantasy football teams. No one wants to hear you talk about yours!

The video of the most recent piece I worked on at the Choreographic Institute at New York City Ballet is live! It's a really good one, "Passersby" choreographed by the incredible Chalvar Monteiro. A trio with no entrances, no exits, and no touching vimeo.com/1229205455?activit…

@ any internet researchers/archaeologists: Archive any old legacy PHP blogs/sites you care about, as there is a nonzero chance they will vanish from the live web forever in the coming days.

I don't mean this as a dunk, but I'm genuinely skeptical anything involving academic writing creates good writers. I'm still waiting for academia to discover prose (any day now)
Often, a scholar leaves a PhD a more careful thinker yet a worse writer. For good reason: you write as you read. the prose ingested by academics is not marked by beauty, clarity, or power. Which discipline bucks the trend? What field of study regularly creates superb writers?

Having long been aware of those tech bros who read my work as utopian porn, where they’ve taken that doesn’t exactly surprise me.
