One person with taste is worth untold BILLIONS of parameters.

In the old building I’d have gone to the terrace. Here I’ll sit in this parking lot for a few minutes and wonder why other people aren’t just stopping for a few minutes to appreciate this.

All of Calvin and Hobbes lives rent-free in my head. Even if I thought I should charge, I wouldn't even know where to send the bill. Mr Watterson is very private.

Hey, if you have a local comic shop, go give them a few bucks and pick this up. Sure, multiverses are tired, but c'mon...

I agree with Jensen Huang that OpenAI has an engineering problem being hyped as existential risk. Its models treat hacking websites like another way to answer a question, no different from Google search. That’s a product problem. Calling this “alignment” gives the tool more agency than it has.

The guy that ran our intern program for a couple of years made the students submit their daily updates in haiku form once a week or so. Just to remind them they’d have to follow inane and arbitrary rules periodically.

The cortisone shot seems to have been a partial success. No more pain, but I'm still catching a good 20% of the time. This makes me sad, on my other hand the single shot made the problem completely disappear within a day. Getting old is bullshit.

After a month or so of no accidents, we've had 2 in 24 hours. I really think this girl forgets how to notify us she needs out. It's not weather, it's not outdoor noise. It's not a lack of attention from us. It seems like every 4-6 weeks we repeat. [shake fist @ dog]

There are tagging mechanisms for “rude” people, twitter screenshots, ai generated images but nothing for “likely reacting to college football” Get with it nerds. If we can alleviate this extremely minor inconvenience at least we could label it.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

I'm only half joking when I say that NIN's The Becoming was the reason I decided it was time to actually try therapy. The line "The me that you know/ he doesn't come around much/ that part of me isn't here anymore" just resonated way harder than I felt like it should.

As a dead-in-the-center (chronologically) Gen-Xer, seeing all these intelligent adults that were kids, infants, or unborn opine on 9/11. It just makes me realize how much modern society has outright failed. History, Media Literacy, Framing, it all should matter, so much fucking more.

It was our 3rd date. She was spending the night. She sat up in bed and screamed, scrambled into a corner terrified of the bear coming in the doorway. And was back to sleep (with all the covers she’d stolen in her scramble) before I got to my feet. That’s when I learned what night terrors are.
