this reminded me of a superb article i’ve read recently on the topic. decided it deserved a thread


entire always means holomorphic on the whole complex plane


well, we’re doing the show with the presumption that we’re going to have five or six listeners. it’s still quite fun and exciting


well if some possibilities come up i hope we get to hear them


it’s so much fun! do you know what your topic might be?


the sneerpire is on the march


as an ezra klein hater since 2020 the past month or so has been victory lap after victory lap. and now, well



just repeating my reaction on bluesky here but “my AI partner died because of the updates” is a common complaint with ppl “dating” AI. altman absolutely knows who he’s targeting when he talks about restoring personality in erotic settings, and it’s people who are really not doing great
