Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I stand corrected, the White Sox broadcast did just have a recruiting ad. However, it was a recruiting ad looking to hire bus washers for Windy City Limos. 120
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 06/10/2026See, this is why I only listen to the White Sox home radio broadcast on the MLB app, where even during the playoffs, the commercials are for Northshore Heavy Duty Adult Diapers and a luxury portable restroom service. 110

Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Hmm. Maybe giving the LLM people the term “super intelligence” means we can keep the terms AI and ML for things that are decent? 000

Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Hey, fellow #patent nerds. Anybody else notice that 425 patent applications entitled “SYSTEM” filed by SoftBank were published last week? That’s… weird? 000
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 01/10/2026You’d think that would be a conversation you could end in 17 seconds… 020
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Walking distance from Pinehurst station to Shoreline station: 18 mins. Walking distance from Pinehurst station to Roosevelt station: 29 mins. Walking distance from my house west of Aurora to closest light rail station: still 62 minutes. A great victory for transit access! 010

Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 29/09/2026You and @normcharlatan.bsky.social should have a “we’re obviously not that guy but we’ll sign your thing anyway” event. 010
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Can we point out for one second that the Bears’ third-string QB was out there zipping balls into tight windows and making completions while backpedaling in a way their QB1 has only been capable of a handful of times in the last 50 years??? 001
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 29/09/2026You know a guy actually spends time with his kids when he says, “I’ll try to watch the game with them tomorrow, but we’ll probably end up watching Bluey.” 010
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I’m reminded of Dave Chappelle’s joke about fried chicken… I never realized *that’s* why these were my favorite as a kid! I thought I liked them because they’re delicious! 000
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Is it just me, or is having a historic year-over-year performance drop-off and then saying, “well, we all did bad” not a great look? 000
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 23/09/2026But asking *why* you can’t patent it is a decent issue spotter. 000
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Oooh, you need to do a deeper dive on the Speed scenario: You’re only driving the trolley because the original driver gets shot, and you take the track that the guy who got on the trolley after knowing it’s going to kill people tells you to. Afterwards, is it ethical to make out with him? 020

Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 21/09/2026A fascinating story! Please don’t let US patent examiners find out about this one, or that’s the end of our “impractical to perform in the human mind or with pen and paper” responses to mental process rejections. 000
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 20/09/2026That “led the league in takeaways” graphic early in the game was the foreshadowing about how this team was only successful last year because they were incredibly lucky. I guess we now get to see what they’re like with no luck. 000
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Important news: Hattie’s Hat in Seattle has finally answered the age-old question: how much for one rib? 001
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Just needed to share that one, since it’s better than any reaction I read on bsky. Middle schoolers remain undefeated in talking smack. 000
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 12/09/2026My 12yo was telling me about how they were talking about 9/11 in class yesterday, and a classmate said, “I hear Trump claims he was carried away from Ground Zero by two firefighters. That’s pretty good for him, normally Trump would say he was the one carrying the firefighters.” 100
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I do believe that nobody wants to play on a mediocre team with no legitimate plan. How do you get out of that, though? Get lucky drafting a generational talent? Trying to negotiate with multiple stars at once to show they wouldn’t be alone? Can you even do that? 000
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 12/09/2026I don’t buy the “it rains during the winter there” as a reason not to go to Seattle. Are you going to tell me the winters are more pleasant in Chicago? Or DC? Or Detroit? And you train and play indoors, anyway. 110

Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Me, sitting in the basement of my Seattle house watching the Apple Cup at Husky Stadium across town on TV: “wow, it really looks nice out there.” 000
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Checking back in after logging off immediately after the first time the game ended, I am really sad I don’t get to use my “W Michigan vs. L Michigan” post I had all queued up. 020
Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 04/09/2026This is a pretty amazing idea for a thing to use AI for, considering I’ve read before that it’s illegal to make ads for food that show something other than the actual food being sold. 000

Dave @dps952.bsky.social · 20/08/2026 If your mental model of the LLM includes that aspect of its operation, then you can reasonably evaluate the outputs for quality, and you can ask it questions appropriate for its capabilities. If your mental model of the LLM is, "it counted the letters," you can't. 010
