The billionaire who wants to live forever just admitted he has long covid. Specifically, covid wrecked his lungs. If you haven’t come across him, Bryan Johnson is a 46-year-old tech bro who cashed out a few years ago and now spends all his time trying not to die.
Ye Gods, her interview with an Urbit developer is really, truly, amazingly awful: https://archive.is/5I7Td
It always surprises me to discover that there are actual true believers who are worried how to build Urbit on web3, and who fret that Urbit is not compatible with AI. This in the same piece that states that Urbit might be finished/usable in 100 years. Do they really believe that web3 and AI are gonna be around then?
Also LOL that LLM can’t grok Hoon. It’s a backhanded compliment, but a compliment nonetheless.
The Cathedral was such a good memetic thing, super attractive to talk about for anybody with NRx/far right brainworms, incomprehensible why you would use that term to normal people, and made you instantly recognizable as a person to be careful around for anti-fascists, or person of interest for any gov orgs looking into people radicalizing. A bit like the globohomo dogwhistle, it fails because it just looks weird to normal people. At least the alt-right picked a cartoon as their icon.
But it’s weird because NRx/far right people are often very into the sort of people associated with Cathedrals. Royalty; conservative cardinals who wear the full antiquated costume and gewgaws; etc.

what this means is that there isn’t a mountain of Hoon code on StackOverflow for Copilot to crib. I wonder if he understands that’s the reason.
In the comments someone asks the dev Jurij “What is the killer application or feature that I must have?” and he replies “No one knows.”
The killer app is to filter out the fascists and gather them in one convenient place.
