saw a CAD type tool demo on instagram (not an explicit ad but content marketing type video) and the entire comments were people linking to other projects that were the same thing but free

in a sort of vignette, I was doing yard work with a fancy leaf sucking / mulching contraption, and an electric delivery truck strolls silently past and some neighbors walk by and we chat and for a second it felt like a vintage movie where these were the halcyon future world days

this is a very mundane design example, of course, but I needed a quick bracket printed and basically just spoke it into existence

for all that we can condemn *everything else* I actually do think it's cool to make a weird product that is utterly foreign to the marketplace
I actually suspect that, in the decades after everything, the few that didn't blow up will become relatively valuable as strange rare collector cars

for as long as I grit teeth slogged through gleba the first time, my heart is actually pretty endeared to it in the warmth of hindsight
I dunno, something about it. I learned to like the loops. you start to see it all not as wasted, but as infinite

Gleba is less stressful the second time around. I understand how spoilage works a lot better, which tripped me up a lot 2 years ago.

the thing is, for the 2-6 weeks I do it per year, I actually really like crunch
working late, music loud, stuff happening, quick decisions, no meetings, small team are all cylinders firing. it's just fun and satisfying to do a lot rapidly and be competent together

quasi-related, do you ever notice that super smart characters in TV shows and media end up with some strangely dumb blind spot as a punchline?
once you start noticing it, it's everywhere
and I think viewers internalize that 'super smart' inherently has that type of weakness or something

I do not believe superintelligence exists in the generalized way that it seems most people conceive of: in which superintelligence is unaccountable to ethical thought and reasoning, destined to render all human efforts and statuses obsolete, and otherwise elicits fears of Darwinian replacement.

so vampires can't see themselves in mirrors because of the silver, but presumably they can see themselves in webcams
do you think that's like, super surprising to them? to not know what you look like for hundreds of years until the humans invent a dumb thing like the selfie
