I've started a Youtube channel for uploading my mixes; I'll still post to Soundcloud as well. I'm going to be posting one old mix per week until Youtube catches up to Soundcloud, then I'll post to both simultaneously.

It’s funny how the old media depiction of Nazis was always that they’re evil but dignified gentleman and now they’re openly just like “Hello. I’m the Anime Pedophile”

The UK and Canada will join the EU in a plan to use part of the nearly $300 billion in frozen Russian central bank assets held by G7 nations to boost financial support for Ukraine. The mechanism would allow issuing loans without formally seizing the assets, securing long-term financing for Ukraine.

It’s incredible that the VT State Senator wrapped up in this hasn’t resigned yet — every major GOP leader in the state has called for his resignation. Fixing democracy requires restoring shame to public life. And accountability. Lots of accountability. vtdigger.org/2025/10/14/v...

Setting aside all the other ethical issues with this - and we shouldn't set it aside, the article didn't - I cannot fathom giving my government ID over to this fucking company. I might as well reply to Telegram scammers with my Social Security number.

"What do you have to say about the capitulation that you participated in?"

Cory Booker clearly wasn't expecting the pushback he got from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social

I'm not the first person to raise this but one of the fascinating things about American politics and political reporting is how much a follow-up question short circuits the brains of the politicians (and is a shocking thrill to the audience)

It turns out that what Todd Gilbert meant by "that escalated quickly" is that he was unwilling to support a grand jury investigation into the origins of the Trump/Russia case. I'm surprised and impressed that Gilbert took this stand. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

I know it's easy to write off Ed as a pure hater from his posts on this website, but if you actually read his reporting or watch his longer form interviews it becomes very clear that he knows more about LLMs and generative AI than Sam Altman does

are there AI critics or sceptics out there worth reading? (Not Ed Zitron types who just do a whole THIS IS VERY BAD shouty, largely substance-free schtick)

Damn, folks. This left-wing political correctness on campus at (*checks notes*) … er, Indiana University? — is out of control.

Financial journalism takes many forms
But in all seriousness, we now have three publicly-traded tech firms that have all agreed to join Sam Altman’s No IT Loads Refused Cash Dump, all promising to do things on insane timelines that they - as executives of giant hardware manufacturers - all must know are impossible to meet.

I think if there was literally anyone else in charge, the chance for a bailout would be 0.

(I don't think it happens with this group, either, but I understand why it seems plausible.)

Jesus christ. AI coding platform Augment code had to jack up prices because 22.5% of their users were spending 20x of what they paid, and even after raising the prices, they're still running at a loss.
reddit.com/r/AugmentCod...
A handful of users abused the system so all are getting punished.

This isn't about a few high-usage users. The reality is that approximately 22.5% of our users are consuming 20x what they're currently paying us. This isn't sustainable for us to continue delivering the quality service you expect. We have built some very powerful tools and we don’t want to impose artificial limits on what’s possible, but we do need to be able to charge in proportion to the use customers are getting from our platform. Developers are always going to push their tools to their limits, and we encourage that — and we need to be able to charge for it appropriately, too.

You only care about professional developers.

Our core focus is on building the best AI coding agent for professional software engineers and their teams. If people outside of that group are finding value with Augment, they are very welcome to use the product, but we’re not prioritizing features or solutions that non-developers might need, and frankly, there are plenty of vibe coding/low code/no code solutions available on the market that will better serve those customers.

You are just squeezing money out of us at 20x margin.

20x margin sounds great, but isn’t the reality for AI tools: the vast majority are running at a loss, including us, while we work to build sustainable, long-term businesses.
