Ok, no snark, no ironic distancing: Obsession is the scariest movie I’ve ever seen. I walked out of the theater shaking and dry-heaving, and I never do that with horror movies.

after the movie 81k and I chatted and meditated briefly on my bed. he went to bed thirty minutes ago but the smell of his fear sweat still lingers – it smells different from normal

It hadn’t occurred to me before now that the expression “they can smell fear” (as distinct from sweating for other reasons) could be literally true and not metaphorical.

Is that guy with the trenchcoat and bazillion combat knives some kind of famous local in SF? Because he just walked by me and Jesus Christ. If he’s not some kind of well-known local, I don’t know how you walk around like that and not get police attention.

On two occasions I have been asked, — “Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?” In one case a member of the Upper, and in the other a member of the Lower, House put this question. I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.

You have to love how both

people asking stupid questions about computers, and

computer scientists responding by being total dickwads

are phenomena that go all the way back to the very beginning of the discipline.

French on loanwords: "If you say 'Youtuber' instead of créateur de courtes vidéos destinées à être visionnées en ligne, Napoleon Bonaparte will come back to life and kill you."

Japanese on loanwords: "Just say yūtuuba or some shit. It don't matter. None of this matters."

Imagining a furious forum debate in the Japanese ATHF fandom regarding whether the official subtitling of “It don’t matter. None of this matters.” to しょうがない is sufficient, or fails to adequately capture the depths of Carl’s untranslatable New Jersey detachment and despair.

Games don't often deal with a sense of scale, because travel is boring and not engaging, but I do think there's something of the experience of moving through a vast place that games end up missing out on. We're certainly capable of making games with vast worlds where it takes hours to get from one place to another, and I don't know, it might be nice to have a game where taking a train ride takes a half hour where you pass through different towns and villages, where a country feels like an actual country that's filled with people and farmlands instead of just a city with twenty guys in it, and a single farm that's apparently keeping those twenty guys fed.

I was thinking about this because I was playing Minecraft with my son, and while Minecraft has "mountains" I kept thinking about how tiny everything is when compared to the real world, and whether there might be something to a game that had actual mountains, where you used carts on tracks and automation because to not do so would waste literal hours of your life.

It would be of very limited appeal, there's a reason that people don't make games like this, but I think I'd appreciate it as a one-time thing.

#basically the only video game I’ve ever played that really felt like it had massive physical scale was wind waker #because damn did it feel like you really were on a vast ocean only intermittently peppered with distant islands

Linus has always been very clear that what he values is technical merit, "how good is the Linux kernel", and for better or worse he doesn't give a fuck about social or philosophical issues around the technology. He rejected GPLv3 for Linux because all he cares about is the "share-back" nature of the GPLv2 improving Linux on a technical level; he doesn't care about Tivoization or any of the other social or legal priorities of the FSF.

This stance irks people who want software to be a philosophical or social battleground, and I won't offer a strong opinion on whether Linus is right or wrong, but it has firmly been his position for decades and he wasn't about to change it now.

OCI seems like they're fumbling around in the dark, unfortunately. and it certainly seems like it would take a very, very odd sequence of events for me to want to be holding an Amazon bond in, say, 25 years

@st-just: I may be totally confused here, but are the payouts inflation-adjusted or what's the possible appeal of a 30-year horizon on a corporate bond?

So, setting aside for now the question of AI bubbles and just focusing purely on financial instruments, there's an important thing to understand about long-horizon bonds (and they go much further than 30 years— Google sold a bunch of 100-year bonds a couple months ago): nobody really cares about the principal or the duration. What you're buying is the coupon stream of repayments; it functions more like an annuity than a loan.

And nobody expects to hold it to maturity: anyone who buys these bonds plans to hold them for a while to collect the interest payments but then eventually sell them on the secondary market, at a price which will reflect people's confidence in Google (along with their estimate of inflation) at that future date. There's a concept in finance called "Macaulay duration", I won't get into the weeds but it essentially functions as "what time period am I actually concerned about for this long-term bond, given the heavily discounted future value of its cash flows". The Macaulay duration of a 100-year bond is something like 17 years, which is the actual Google time horizon these buyers are basing their offers the price on.

As for why you would buy this, let's say you're a pension fund and you need a steady stream of payments long into the future, and you have low estimates of what the bond market might look like for buyers in 5 years. So you don't want to buy 5-year bonds, because then they'll reach maturity and you'll need to buy new ones at unfavorable terms to you. Very long bonds are in large part a hedge against unfavorable bond markets in the medium term.

While America is battling exhaustion and political polarization at home, it is now facing something it’s never faced abroad: it is locked in

There was some reasonable nitpicking from @centrally-unplanned and a few others when I posted this American Affairs article about the Navy, but I still think its basic premise stands:

The Navy is fully aware that winning a kinetic war with China is fundamentally impossible (doubly-so now that we’re going out of our way to alienate everyone who might be a potential friendshoring ally with trade barriers and general shithouse diplomatic behavior, which wasn’t yet obvious at the time the article was published), and so with that ostensible goal out of the question, they’ve pivoted to a much more achievable goal of “looking good in front of our geriatric Congress which still thinks it’s 1945.”

I’m undermining my own tag here but I guess in fairness the gray bar says “haven’t heard enough to say”. I’m not sure if I have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of Chiang Kai-shek, and I read a whole biography of him.
