Found guilty, Socrates was asked to work out a proper punishment.
He said that he should be provided with free meals for life at the Prytaneum, an honor reserved only for Olympiad victors.
The Jury then voted for the death penalty with a higher margin than for his conviction.

Relearning to see this stuff, in some small fashion, was a major part of my art training
Hot take but toddlers effortlessly say poetic things because they perceive and express the original, uncompressed data (e.g. pixels) rather than the abstract, compressed concept.
-it’s raining outside
+yes, the mountains are white
-<???>
-<oh, they are white indeed. low clouds>

Kids will grow up learning like this. It's insane.
I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to explain how a rocket engine works by building an interactive Raptor 3 you can take apart in your browser.
Cut it open, follow the oxygen and the methane through both turbopumps, then throttle it and watch the shock diamonds move.

who's gonna take me on a date to the book rave in japan
📚 Au Japon, des gens vont désormais en boîte de nuit… pour s’asseoir silencieusement et lire un livre pendant qu’un DJ joue de la musique d'ambience.
Le concept s’appelle JUCY BOOK RAVE et se déroule notamment dans un club souterrain de Shimokitazawa, à Tokyo. Ici, pas besoin de danser ni de hurler pour parler à la personne située à 30 centimètres de vous. Les participants viennent avec un livre, s’installent dans la pénombre et lisent pendant que la musique accompagne leur soirée.

I’m listening to a podcast with @FU_joehudson and he just casually says
“Joy is the matriarch of a family of emotions and she won’t come into a house where her children aren’t welcome.”
and my universe exploded a little bit
