Only Bayes Can Judge Me

  • Wait does LW even think slavery is bad

  • There is some pedophilia in there too.

    …also, what the fuck. This is a step backwards, even just reading it. I’m mad.

  • I was gonna joke that he spent all the prize money on cocaine and needed a job. Because of the film Good Will Hunting, I always thought that the Fields was the same reward as the Nobel. I looked it up and the fields only awards 15k CAD (about 102k Norwegian Krone) vs. the Nobel’s 11mil SEK (10.8m NOK).

  • FWIW my bookshelf contains very few works along these lines except for the works of Nagata Kabi, specifically 「My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness」, which you might like to check out, if you haven’t already. But uh, yeah all I can say in relation is that it has “Lesbian” in the title.

  • RIP oceangate guy, you would have loved vibe submarine design

  • They hope it’ll land safely, but all signs point to it disintegrating during descent and sinking into the abyss

  • Extremely mature of both of you to make a crouton joke and not once include a scrotum joke

  • List appended! Thanks!

  • a bit of a pattern in my interests

    It’s books, right?? /s

    (In this case the /s stands for sapphic)

  • Also noted!

  • I guess I will learn what my tolerances for Scots is!

  • thanks, noted!

  • thanks!

  • Am seeking suggestions on audiobooks to listen to! I think I’d like to start with the works of Ursula K. Le Guin, tho I don’t know what order to go with, or if that matters.

  • I’ve always thought that the ability for a VCS to show me exactly what my codebase looked like at any point in the past wasn’t as dementia-simulating as I’d like

  • Some things that I consumed recently:

    • I watched Kiki's delivery service for the first time. Very good, 10/10
    • I read/listened to "London Falling" by Patrick Radden Keefe, which I also enjoyed. I'd say an 8/10
    • I watched Project Hail Mary which was nice, like a 7/10.
  • The Edge from U2?!?!
