Obviously, you do you, but this was a habit I got into because for most of my childhood I either got limited computer time (before I had my own in my room) or would sometimes spend weeks without access to _any_ computing device, for example when we went somewhere for vacation. (I didn't have a laptop or anything. This was the early to mid 90s. Laptops were extravagant, stupidly expensive, and kind of shit.)

I spent a lot of time in my life doing just that. I _still_ write code in longhand on paper when I'm trying to think through algorithms.

"Points as Tori: Fast Pointwise Signed Distance for Point Clouds" (Feng et al., SIGGRAPH 2026) https://nzfeng.github.io/research/PointsAsTori/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCSrsX4camM I've not followed that line of research closely in about 20 years, but first thought: "holy shit"
"OpenAI says its AI technology acted on its own in an ‘unprecedented’ hack of another company" https://apnews.com/article/openai-gpt56-sol-hugging-face-63ab84fed5612af04d8a160d60f6def3
In other news, bullet acted on its own in "unprecedented' fatal attack on father of three. "All I did was load this handgun, aim and squeeze the trigger", distraught bystander reports tearfully
[To be clear, what I'm mad at is AP uncritically accepting OpenAI's framing here. Headline should be more like "OpenAI inadvertently launched cyberattack in poorly conducted test"]

@nprofile1q... Muse is really not a particularly niche act. I mean, they've been filling stadiums for going on two decades https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNV9gv0NmzU

i like to believe this prophecy is about nigel farage
@nprofile1q... A shadow is cast wherever he stands /
Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
You'll see him in your nightmares, you'll see him in your dreams /
He'll appear out of nowhere, but he ain't what he seems /
You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen /
And hey buddy, I'm warning you to turn it off /
He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan /
Designed and directed by his red right hand
