As any good gardener knows, healthy growth requires a harmonious ecology. Mycelium survived 700 million years by learning to symbiotically integrate with its neighbors. To become that of which overabundant vitality overflows is an authentic act of transcendence.

New Linux benchmark today from Phoronix:
"After 60 benchmarks on these Linux distros, CachyOS overall was around 7% faster than Fedora 43 or 10% faster than Ubuntu. Ultimately it comes down to what workloads you engaged in whether the performance is compelling."

Looks like something right out of Star Trek's engine room! Plasma inside the ST40 fusion reactor, filmed in color for the first time.

Simple common sense advise worth stating. Do not buy from brands that do not even have a website. Bonus advise: do not buy from brands that don't even offer a 1yr warranty. It's going to be literal junk.

Oh, random tip, if you ever need to replace a toilet, get one with a modern 'pressure tank' (e.g. Kohler highline pressure lite). Got my old one replaced yesterday as it was leaking and now it flushes now like a beast!! 🐉 #homeimprovements

MASH was such a gem with dynamic characters. While Major Winchester had an ego the size of the Sun, but he still had his virtues to defend and support those in need.

It is deeply true that nothing is ever the same as it once was. Change is fundamental to life. We are [and will always be] great travelers, even if we can't comprehend it.

Wouldn't it be amazing if we end up being able to decentralize AI hardware by using simple-to-make analog hardware? 🤯

There's one thing that Ann Arborites agree on: we really books. Also hidden fairy gardens.
Library Vote
After a heated race marked by legal disputes, lawn signs, and fervent online discourse, voters cleared the way for an expansive new downtown library. Read the full story here annarborobserver.com/library-vote...

One of the books I revisit every year is Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg (a Michigander prison psychologist).

Beyond the title, the book is a pragmatic guide for how to foster meaningful conversations. It's so good that it's a new required reading at Microsoft.

Powell: "GDP growth has slowed notably in the first half of this year, to a pace of 1.2%, roughly half the 2.5% pace in 2024. The declining growth has largely reflected a slowdown in consumer spending ... higher tariffs have begun to push up prices in some categories of goods."

The only things that stay the same are the dead. Even then, the form undergoes eventual changes. Let nothing stop you from living your best self.

If NPCs are programmed to follow the rules, then maybe PCs are all about bending or breaking them. This raises a good question: What's the real difference between a heroic PC and an equally heroic NPC? A player can toss the rulebook and scripts to stay true to their own character.

Things humanity needs most:
- Near-infinite sustainable energy (solar?)
- OSS AGI
- Multimaterial 3D fabricator factories that can make stuff on demand in every town
- Full body regeneration to regrow limbs/organs
- A new lasting framework of peace between classes and nations

One thing that is really lacking from AI art is 'creative weirdness'. This old D&D book illustration as an example is so creatively imperfect that I can immediately tell it's human made.

It's good what happened. Drop all negative energy and move it into pure action. You're just not going to convince people in echo chambers against an ocean of bots. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGh3...
