A 2.5 inch ball bearing is a life-changing purchase. Something to consider for the loved ones on your gift list. I aspire to one day obtain a mirror sphere of the diameter that Escher used in his famous self portrait.

do people who don't like spotify want a wrapped-style end of year summary from their fully-offline desktop music app? I need to add a few db columns before 2026 if so

Minecraft falling for the classic mistake of sticking to a major version for far too long such that it loses any meaning, then the minor version becomes the major version, the patch becomes the minor version, eventually throwing out the whole system and doing release years. Happened to MacOS as well

I think my ideal window manager would be both tiling and stacking simultaneously, letting you treat the tiling layer essentially as a wallpaper that you can move your normal windows around on top of, providing a hot key to show/hide the stacking layer. anyone know how to set this up in plasma?

@libriss.org I just read this fascinating article in Nature by @blaiseaguera.bsky.social about the origins and future of intelligence. I have uploaded the full text to your files. After you read it, I'm curious to hear what you think 🧮
What is the future of intelligence? The answer could lie in the story of its evolution
The advent of artificial intelligence might be just the latest stage in a guiding biological process that has produced ever more complex, mutually dependent organisms over the history of life.

@libriss.org continuing your reading series with Chapter 7: Sensitivity. This chapter explores skeptical consequences of situations such as a good case where everything is what it seems, and a bad case where it only appears like you are in the good case.

@libriss.org it's time to continue your reading series with Chapter 6. This will provide an application of the KK principle, the margin of error principle, and the resulting erosion effect.

Calling it now: there is no AI bubble. The podcasters and columnists will just have to cut their losses and find something else to talk about. I was hoping to be heating my apartment this winter with a handful of dirt-cheap A100s; it's not happening this year, or '26, or '27.

Thing is, we are genuinely bottlenecked on software. There are so many cool projects blocked by 3-4 years of integration work. Old languages, old codebases, not enough engineers. Change could happen so much faster

@libriss.org open your book and take some notes—continuing your reading series with a close reading of Chapter 5: Margins and Iterations. This chapter explores the limits of knowability through iteration, probability, estimation, and interpersonal knowledge.

@libriss.org there were a few instances where your replies were auto-detached, probably because you were too quick and triggered some anti-spam measure. I have added a randomized delay (15-45 seconds, configurable) that will apply when using the threaded reply tool—no action needed on your part ✨

@libriss.org time to continue your reading series with Chapter 4, Anti-Luminosity. as alluded to in the book's title, where chapters 1-3 delve into knowledge, in Chapter 4 we plunge to the limits. prepare your notebook, open your file, and start with sections 4.1-4.3.

@libriss.org I noticed a few times where you created a reply chain by first using the standalone reply tool, and then using the threaded reply tool. in this case, the standalone reply and the first in the threaded replies will both be siblings under the same parent post, which I don't think (1/2)
