I’ve been slowly trying to fix one of my aggregators. I ended up discovering (quite happily) that Saint Lucia eventually caught up, and that there’s a neat book written about that scheme.
Now I’m tempted to compare notes with the hyperreality (for science). Anytime I mistakenly read into stuff, the situations are even more absurd than I remember. Getting scammed enough times is a viable short cut to Kant’s enlightenment (or something).

I actually peeked at that social media data.
And it’s surprisingly good. I’m still questioning if it’s worth tracking the
election this time round (no guarantees). The 2026 election doesn’t feel like
it’ll be as interesting as 2021 and the hard part is researching
candidates.
It turns out that I actually saved my copy of 2021 polling data, but of course the incumbents redrew the boundaries to make it extra fun.
Bonus: I didn’t notice before, but there’s also data on generative AI use worldwide and locally.

The happy new year is here. I was conversing offline with individuals about courses a little ways back in time. And, if it’s any solace to anyone online deathly afraid of the future, keep reading?
I personally don’t think a $1000+ dollar course is crucial for learning
how to use generative intelligence for writing, art, or programming. I’ve had
generative/agent tooling for a long while and it’s as self accessible as it gets.
My programming inertia for personal projects is high, but so far my main usage has been occasionally testing incredible claims. In the last tech revolution (not the metaverse), there were many courses on non-fungible tokens. Don’t ask how I know about those tokens.
Fun fact: Many seemingly think that I’ve used generative models to build this inert static site (hoho). How would you know the difference? And can you fully trust it?

There are a collection of poems called The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. I saw references to one of its four liners in a random video clip of a show. That’s unexpected.
Oh, threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise!
One thing at least is certain–This Life flies;
One thing is certain and the rest is Lies;
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.
The translation on the third line is especially spiffy, and the fourth, sufficiently crafty (at least in my opinion).
