Since 2020, I’ve been putting together one playlist every year, in which each track represents one month of that year. However, I also have assigned each season two specific songs, which does not change year-to-year: Spring: ā€œA Little Bit Of Loveā€ by Weezer and ā€œGretelā€ by Alex G; Summer: ā€œDumbā€ by Roe Kapara and ā€œEndless Bummerā€ by Weezer; Autumn: ā€œ1979ā€ by The Smashing Pumpkins and ā€œThe Dead Come Talkingā€ by Roe Kapara; Winter: ā€œRed Water (Christmas Mourning)ā€ by Type O Negative and ā€œChristmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End)ā€ by The Darkness

In-reply-to » "A handbag belonging to the homeland security secretary Kristi Noem containing her passport, department security badge and $3,000 in cash was stolen on Sunday night at a restaurant in Washington, the department confirmed."

@bender@twtxt.net This story just reminds me of the couple of times we’ve paid for things in cash šŸ’° šŸ’² and the stupid banks with the ridiculous ā€œscam alert policyā€ ask you all kind of dumb ass questions about what you need the cash for šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø One of these days I need an excuse to buy something that costs a few $k just so I can answer when asked, ā€œwhat do you need the cash for?ā€ to which my response will be ā€œdrugs and hookers of course!ā€ 🤣

There are now two (recentish) quotes I really like these days:

The smartest person in the room is not the one with all the answers—it’s the one who’s brave enough to ask the dumb questions

and

The kindest person in the room is often the smartest

In-reply-to » I heard that congratulations to Germany are in order, is that right? If so, congratulations!

Na, you’re spot on, @movq@www.uninformativ.de! The result is an expected, terrible disaster. It just seems the absolute catastrophy is delayed for another four years.

Even though I’m the last one who wouldn’t be glad about banning the nazis, I’m not a fan of banning parties in general. I believe that a healthy democracy has to withstand extremists. Whether it’s still healthy is debatable. To me it appeared that the failed attempts to ban NPD in the past actually helped them gain more supporters.

The big established parties are all bad traitors. I blame them and their actions to help raise AfD. They just give a fuck about the ordinary people, they’re only concerned about their private gain and power. I bet nothing will change, to the contrary, it will only get worse. The winners do have the chance to turn it for the better, but they just will not. No way, unfortunately.

But then, we must not forget that people are just dumb and stupid, too. Also, that won’t change. AfD won’t help these idiots either, but they still vote for them. I also don’t understand how there is still so much support for the other big parties left. Education is important. Very important. But I have the impression that we’re lacking it.

In-reply-to » @doesnm Agree. salty.im should allow the user to post multiple brokers on their webfinger so the client can find a working path.

Honestly… not much. Have abandon two projects (both private) on Golang and one related to cryptography. My mostly languages are Python and Javascript (also can PHP). After writing code on Go i spend same time on fixing dumb errors

In-reply-to » Sometimes being in a webinar with Googleā„¢ engineers makes you feel quite dumb and that you just realise how much you don't know 🤣

its not that you are dumb.. just that you are not hyperfocused into a very specific domain of knowledge.

Maybe it’s true that intelligence depends on the environment, but consider: the environments where policy iteration performs better than RL with temporal difference learning are kind of dumb.

The Problems with Utilitarianism
I originally wrote this essay in 2014 or 2015 in a Chinese buffet in Athens, Georgia. I’ve changed some of it and am re-adding it here. I talk about the issues with Utilitarianism and a bad book by Sam Harris.

Utilitarianism

At a dumb intuitive level, the ā€œethicalā€ idea of Utilitarianism in principle gets pretty close to what most people reflexively want from social-political affairs: the greatest good for the greatest number of people—who … ⌘ Read more

Think of it like buying a signed print of a photo, instead of the photo itself, but the ā€œsignatureā€ is an entry in a database and that’s all you get. Still dumb.

Last night I spent about 30 minutes putting together the bare framework for a dumb project I want to do. I’m so excited to work on it, I keep checking the website to see if I’ve posted anything new.ļæ¼

School harem-comedy anime is TV’s last bastion of psychological realism: it portrays a world where teenagers are dumb and socially awkward, and emotions come through on their faces but nobody notices.

Google sponsors Linux. The Linux Foundation claims that that’s because Google loves free software. Google also continues to publish new Closed Source software. I claim that that’s because the Linux Foundation is dumb.
