CEREMONY NEW ORDER

i was teaching java back when netbeans was a popular ide lol and it had a wysiwyg editor for ui that generated absolute garbage code where i could tell a student used it even if the assignment said not to. their code worked though, but they locked themselves into the netbeans editor.
Saw a thoughtful thread about AI, don't want to QT or argue. But. The biggest rage factor with LLMs is the people who, because genAI is transformative for coding, think it's transformative for everything else, because they devalue every other form of work and labor and knowledge.
Me & my college music buddy Dave skipping out of the Harvard T stop on a Friday night so we can hit Newbury Comics and Tower Records and HMV for brand new import CDs

I've wanted for a long while to catch up on his solo work, much of which is new to me. I'm excited.
The first New Order 12" I bought myself, a pricey imported Australian pressing from a record shop in Greenhills in Manila. I was so giddy.

I still haven't found the first Bicep Global Live Stream. In case you're interested, here is the second one from 2021, thanks to a kind member of r/Bicep.

Does anyone have a stream or download link for Bicep's first Global Live Stream from 2020? The band says they are screening their second stream from 2021 again this week, but I'd like to watch / listen to the first one. Thanks.
Hugging my movies and tv shows (and music and books) on physical media tonight.
The HK action collection is steadily growing. I feel like we're in a golden age of physical media with all these great restorations lately
It'll end in tears.
NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

I diagrammed out 8 layers of video... We shot the 1st layer (of John's face on the tv screen sitting on the floor) then took that tape and played it back on my TV, and shot the 2nd layer... Basically we built it layer by layer, live...

Not Curve. (Maggie Cheung and Wong Kar-Wai, actually, around the time of In the Mood for Love.)
Speaking of Curve, here's my favorite photo of them. (I think I might have made this joke before somewhere else?)
I saw them around then too when they came to Boston. Just a... spark-filled controlled explosion of a gig.
I always have time for Curve appreciation. The first three EPs were deservingly imperious, while the later b-side Today Is Not the Day is an old favorite.
만세!
Probably a stretch but: the "Together" part also has a Daft Punk connection, as it's the name of the Thomas Bangalter & DJ Falcon duo and their single on Bangalter's Roule label.
The battle is closing tomorrow due to snow
The arthouse theater is closed... the last tower has fallen...
Hard agree: North London is red.
this was my spookiest thing I experienced
A store with a sign that says “ADULT NOVELTIES - BJORK ALBUMS - MAGIC POKEMON YUGIOH - AIRSOFT GUNS”
"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

Looks filthy!
Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

This is a good essay, but sometimes as a thought experiment I think about how we defended the ubiquity of cars 100+ years ago. Sure, we can't really walk places anymore and they kill tens of thousands a year and gasoline makes the air toxic, but getting places fast in a personal bubble is cool!
