@mattyglesias If only someone would try to convince conservatives of the benefits of pro-natalist and pro-immigration policies. Really make The Case for Thinking Bigger.

Relative price shifts driven by economic progress — not wage stagnation but its opposite — have made “trad” lifestyles less desirable. slowboring.com/p/why-its-hard…

@mattcolville Time to play the name game: Eurorack module or cool new drug?

Experimenting with Morphagene, delay, and reverb. Give it like 90 seconds to kick in. Piano reel source in the track description. soundcloud.com/matt-colville/…

@mattcolville You were! nebula.tv/videos/legalea…

There is a non-trivial chance I'm going to end up in a Legal Eagle video.

@mattcolville Finally a chance to watch Matt on Nebula

@astrofalls @partialobs Was about to get mad thet you cut the watermark off @astrofalls work, then saw you’re the OP!

For the last 134 years people have photographed the andromeda galaxy, but everyone up until now has missed this giant undiscovered nebula!

@jonostrower @nycsouthpaw Automate laundry folding!

Not everything should be or needs to be automated. Technology can do amazing things for safety and/or scale, but societal cost matters if you eviscerate an entire category of livelihood in the process. The only reason to automate pizza is because you hate people.

@AlexReustle @partialobs Actually, Robert gave sinebow 👍

Fantastic list of why NO RAINBOWS from Robert Hurt at #AAS241. rockcontent.com/blog/rainbow-c… colororacle.org davidmathlogic.com/colorblind/ spectrum.adobe.com/page/color-for… vega.github.io/vega/docs/sche…

@partialobs @AlyssaAGoodman Yep. One of them mentions sinebow too. I think jet misses getting called out but I’m personally aware of it’s similar issues.

@teej_dv @GoogleStore Huh. Yeah. Guess I just assumed the address would be in the yellow pages, but thats never how it worked.

@AlexReustle @GoogleStore haha i don't know their phone number now, just their address

RIP me. ordered new headphones from @GoogleStore but for some reason they sent to my home that I used to live at (even though I'm pretty sure I updated address and typed in new cc inf) and now neither them nor fedex can cancel the shipment. So I hope someone enjoys my headphones!

@Noahpinion So they can look on the bright side when they never get any.

Gonna try to convince all the traditionalist dudes that sex is an inherently girly activity (this is 100% true btw)

@paulg Paywalled so I’ll ask in the comments: Is this article just recapitulating the known relationship[1] between growth mindset and educational outcomes? Or is it bringing new research to the table? [1] clutejournals.com/index.php/JIER…

@hardmaru You’re going to be 80 anyway, you might as well also be a director.

A 72-year-old congressman goes back to school, pursuing a degree in AI “To qualify, the congressman needed to complete 7 undergraduate math & compsci courses; with 3 courses down this year and 4 to go, he expects to begin the actual graduate work by 2024.”washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…

@mattyglesias Just like my grandparents. Truly the Geriatric Spice!

Put some cinnamon in my coffee this morning — aiming to incorporate more Fremen vibes into my 2023.

@gjvdkamp @lefticus (Julia is good actually, those things just annoy me about it).

@gjvdkamp @lefticus Get out of here with your 1-based indexing, Column-major matrices and your LLVM-based jit-er that can’t pre-compile!

What is your favorite Python example/feature/trick you want to share?

@lefticus Easy function decoration with “@“
