  • if they’re proposing it as a C stdlib-adjacent method (given they’re saying it should be an alternative to malloc [memory allocate]) it absolutely should be lowercase. plus is redundant because you just append the extra functionality to the name by concatenating it to the original name. mallocai [memory allocate ai] feels wrong, so ai should be first.

    if this method idea wasn’t an abomination in and of itself that’s how it would probably be named. it currently looks straight out of Java. and at that point why are we abbreviating malloc. why not go the distance and say largeLanguageModelQueryingMemoryAllocator








  • Every little detail I hear about Sinwar’s life and death makes it feel straight out of Shōnen Jump. A man born in a refugee camp that outlives him. A man who went from emiseration to a college degree. A man who became fluent in his oppressors language in captivity. A man who went from indefinite imprisonment to leading the resistance. A man who projects a Samsonian level of indomitability. They have to keep making excuses that ‘he’s in another country’, ‘he’s underground’ for why they just can’t kill him for years, but you can find him walking down the street in Gaza and just pull him aside for an interview.

    He’s still above ground fighting, a year into the entire region being carpet-bombed with the expressed intent to kill him specifically. He gets hit with tanks, missiles, dronefire, he’s still fighting with a severed hand–he’s 61 years old! Even when he’s bleeding out in a dusty-old chair exposed to the elements, the surveillance drone pilots are still instinctively dodging the pieces of rebar he’s chucking at the damned thing in a final ‘fuck you’ to his oppressors with his one good hand.

    They have to finish him off with a sniper round. They can’t touch this man. They can’t be near this man. He’s the bogeyman. It feels intrinsically embarrassing to even make the comparison–it makes me feel like my analysis is fundamentally juvenile, but I just cannot shut it out of my mind, it keeps coming back to me the more I think about it–this man went out like Gojo Satoru. A life and a death that can only be rivaled by Che Guevara’s in terms of it feeling straight out of fiction. What a guy.



  • Al-Aqsa Flood is the Harper’s Ferry Raid of our times, in that it was met with violent reaction, was scorned as a bridge-too-far, was fundamentally just, and has caused the domino effect that accelerates the death of the entity into our lifetimes.

    If this report is true, I can only offer my deepest respect and gratitude towards the man who led the plunge. Sinwar will be vindicated by history. A tragedy of the highest order that he may not see the coda of this hitlerian project with his own two eyes.
