The fascinating idea that time moved slower in right after the big bang

The author writes about junktime, which I think is an even higher step from kairos -> chronos -> junktime. Who was it again who said that Kairos is village life, Chronos is city life, controlled by the clock, and then Junktime might be online life, controlled by ever presence.

Numbers about the idea that people do not want AI.

Observations about shrinking time, the idea that the computer didn’t give us more time, as promised, but instead filled our lives with micro tasks. We should leave the clock at the door in many situations, like the art/design classroom

Fun exercise that compares internet speeds to nerve-speeds in animals.

Sound effects of clocks, free to use

A few extra arguments against LLMs. Mostly a personal answer/rant to an earlier article, and mostly pointing out flaws in the argumentation. For instance, that something was bad 6 months ago doesn't mean it’s good now. The same argument was used 6 months ago by the same people. Comparing people to large organisations when it comes to copyright Anonymous examples The fact that something gets attention doesn’t mean it’s as good as stated: see apps, crypto, etc. The fact that CEOs want us to use it, same thing, and even worse, because CEOs etc

When anyone can produce something that looks good, the question becomes not “Can you make this?” but “Can you tell if it’s any good?” Or: “Can you make it better?”

Erg goed verhaal over het weigeren van LLMs en het opzetten van een LLM-loze schrijversclub

All the details about ‘Coding Independent Code Points (CICP) for color space identification’

Excellent, excellent intelligent rant.

Fantastic article about NTP, the complex system that synchronises time on the internet.

Mooi artikel over tijd, over The Clock, over de expo in Breda, over verschillende soorten tijd.

A list of resources about minimal(ist) HTML. As with all minimalism, in a way it continues removing stuff until it is broken, and then it stops, which is one step too late. It should stop before it is broken. In this case: keep HTML readable for humans when viewing source.

Brilliant research into making stepped gradients with CSS. Looking forward to an easier implementation, one day,

Interesting “brutalist” typefaces

Liquid glass is bad.

Excellent advice for creative professionals about contracts. It’s written for people who make fonts, but it’s solid advice for more creatives.

Very nice font for writing code

Geweldig verhaal over een geweldige kerel. Onder andere over dat zaken doen niet per se alleen maar over zoveel mogelijk geld verdienen gaat. Wat een fantastische kerel, wauw.

One of many people warning for a bubble

PNG got an update with HDR as the most important update (I guess)

Shocking article about the ‘hysterical obedience’ in Germany:

very common in Germany, that to be law-abiding means not merely to obey the laws but to act as though one were the legislator of the laws that one obeys.

Mooie kritische benadering van een krankzinnige status quo. Wegen moeten weg!
