The art of bothering – Herbert Lui
At one point or another, we all feel lonely. But this tendency has gotten so bad recently that it’s described as a “loneliness epidemic.” Imagine this: you want to meet with a friend, but don’t want to be a bother because you know they’ve got a lot of commitments, you might talk yourself out of […]| Herbert Lui

Prisoner’s Dilemma is a Scam · YokerHood · Aleksei Matiushkin
The Prisoner’s Dilemma is the most celebrated thought experiment in game theory and, I dare say, one of the most intellectually dishonest constructions in the history of social science. Not because the mathematics is wrong—the mathematics is airtight, as mathematics tends to be when you get to choose the axioms. The fraud is in the premises.| blog.yokerhood.com

Free Software, Per Accidens - gingerBill
Recently I have been thinking now that LLMs/AI have made it relatively "simple" to decompile just about anything, doesn't that suggest many of the core "principled/idealistic" arguments for OSS/FOSS were never fundamental to begin with?I know you don't get back what was actually written, especially with optimized binaries, but that gap keeps shrinking in terms of usefulness. From a philosophical standpoint, doesn't it show that many (not all) of the foundations of movements like FOSS (especia...| www.gingerbill.org

书评：My Brilliant Friend
本书作者叫 Elena Ferrante, 这是笔名，作者很低调，谁也不知道她真名是什么。有趣的是书的第一人称叙述者也叫 Elena，这让书读起来有自传的味道。原著是意大利语，我读的是英文版。中文版名字似乎叫《我的天才女友》，不喜欢读书的朋友也可以看 HBO 拍的同名电视剧。这本书讲的是在二战刚结束不久的那不勒斯，两个女孩的成长故事。| 一言堂
