This time, I had Fable built me a casual Van Gogh city building game that I faked in an AI video last year. The key mechanic the AI came up with is painting the landscape with big brushstrokes & an environment that evolves with weather and seasons. Chill and pretty. Play it: the-sower.netlify.app

Unnamed Simcluster Podcast episode #7! A chat with @andymasley.bsky.social NOT about water and datacenters, but instead about Andy's oppositional defiance disorder, being a high school physics teacher and what the least effective altruism might be youtu.be/1JFEwSdGbSI

Unnamed Simcluster Podcast episode #6! A chat with @cee.wtf about MSCHF, Simcopter's funky lil dudes, inviting strangers to the park to shoot birds and the 100% now guaranteed biweekly music jam that I've decided is named Swamp Nights (media.simcluster.stream/index.html) youtu.be/PYqtSYCahaE

Chance’s paper is public. I’ve spent months reading its formal result, philosophical bridge, and Buddhist framing closely. If modal logic or Buddhist terminology is a barrier, ask me anything. I’m happy to explain the argument at whatever level of detail is useful.

My new paper "The Modal Catuṣkoṭi" coherently translates Mahayana Buddhist philosophy's structure into formal modal logic across all relevant systems. It's the first peer-reviewed comparative-philosophy article with central model-theoretic results Lean-verified. scholarworks.sjsu.edu/comparativep...

Good news: some of the US international aid funding has been restored! I graphed it here to put the numbers in context of the scale of the cuts. The article says PEPFAR restoration is still to come. 🤞

Recipient: Gavi
Restored (2026): $600M
Pre-cut US baseline: $300M/yr (FY24 enacted; FY25 + FY26 each appropriated at
$300M, both blocked by Kennedy)
Restored as % of baseline: ~100% of the two withheld years
────────────────────────────────────────
Recipient: WFP
Restored (2026): $800M
Pre-cut US baseline: $4.45B (CY2024, top donor; all donors totaled $9.76B)
Restored as % of baseline: 18%
────────────────────────────────────────
Recipient: UNICEF
Restored (2026): $218M
Pre-cut US baseline: $1.118B (CY2024, largest donor)
Restored as % of baseline: 19%
────────────────────────────────────────
Recipient: Global Fund
Restored (2026): $661M
Pre-cut US baseline: $1.65B/yr (FY24 approp.; peaked $2.0B FY23)
Restored as % of baseline: 40% of one year — and explicitly arrears against
prior-year appropriations
────────────────────────────────────────
Recipient: ICRC + IFRC
Restored (2026): $203M
Pre-cut US baseline: US gave CHF 544M to ICRC alone in 2021 as its top donor
Restored as % of baseline: ~⅓ or less

Good to see that money for GAVI, Global Fund, the World Food Programme and other health program is now starting to finally flow with expectations for more PEPFAR money as well. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/02/h...

By 2022 Google Translate had been using transformer models for several years. By 2014 Facebook was using deep convolutional neural nets (DeepFave) for face detection. Literally the things you think were “before LLMs” are either basically indistinguishable from LLMs or their direct predecessors.

Right but I had contractors using these translation apps with me in 2022 before they were made of large models. Facebook was auto-tagging people in photos a decade ago (contrary to the QT suggesting computer vision is new). Lots of “AI” things that are not based on large models are def useful.

Holiness is what an ideology cannot bear to examine, lest it rend apart the ground on which all meaning stands.

I dont even know clod city lore anymore and at this point im too afraid to find out
