@cscheid.netit truly does. I hold irrational hope that it's solvable, but then I remember I once read nothinghuman.substack.com/p/the-tyrann... and all I can see is a sea of Marls. I don't know what to do about it
@cscheid.netI don’t necessarily believe in P≠NP but I definitely don’t believe in P=NP because the interleaving algorithm is just too dumb to be a universal algorithm for NP-complete problems (which would be in P since P would =NP)
@cscheid.netIn this thread, an apology to my spouse for playing the same 20-second passage over and over again for the last 2 hours
@cscheid.nettaking music seriously made me notice one big meta-skill if you're going to make the move from appreciation to performance, you better figure out how to enjoy the struggle. That's not out of some vague stoic sense; it's just that the ratio of time spent struggling vs performing is like 20-50:1
@cscheid.netBy far my least favorite Zed feature is the automatic filetype detector. It triggers mid-typing and changes the meaning of keyboard actions: you're typing in a plain-text document and Zed decides to flip to Markdown mode. So you end up having to type while staring at the status line. Zed, _why_.
@cscheid.netWe're making it easier for you to run these all off of the main binary right now. Stay tuned!

@cscheid.netOh I realize now it’s behind the paywall. Anyway it’s totally worth your Patreon support :)
@cscheid.netThere’s a really great @inbedwiththeright.bsky.social episode about exactly this!
@cscheid.netNEW YOON HA LEE SPACE OPERA THIS IS NOT A DRILL NEW YOON HA LEE SPACE OPERA seriously. If you haven't read the Machineries of Empire series... ooh boy are you in for a treat

@gracekind.netReposted by @cscheid.netI should’ve subscribed to this labeler a long time ago
@cscheid.netWere you about 95% right, or would your definition be slightly loose and yet encompass the true definition 95% of the time were we to repeat the experiment infinitely often? I'll show myself out
@cscheid.netIt’s a monetized X account. It’s pretty evidently a troll, even if he believes the bit. People around here ought to know better
@cscheid.netThank you: it’s not a free thing for you to say. I just wanted to say I see it and appreciate it; it means a lot.
@cscheid.netWe can structure our lives to avoid unthinkingly putting work on other people's inboxes. But few people give a shit. LLMs made this go foom, and it really fucking sucks for everyone now. Still, the source of the behavior already existed: shitty people who never gave a shit to begin with.
