Timeline cleanse

Photo of a beautiful and round silver tabby cat laying on his back on a white carpet. Sam is perfectly positioned in the nook where the floor meets the wall to hold his spotty belly in the perfect angle to the sunbeams and to prevent rolling when he falls asleep. His head is back so his little white chin is getting sun, his paws are curled up in pleasure and his back legs are outstretched. Sam feels completely safe.

This week's #Satisfactory write-up about trucks-and-stuff includes a sneaky link to one of the game session archive videos that @newbiespud.bsky.social made of our old co-op family save. Hint: It involves racing in a game not designed for racing. Enjoy, won't you please?

Satisfactory: Six-Wheelers

I finished the Packaged Fuel (and other products) facility this week. I'm using this opportunity to introduce trucks to my transportation system. Explorer pictured partly for size comparison, but most...

Oh boy. @shadowtodd.bsky.social went at (yeah, I admit it) my favorite Rick Springfield album, and... ... no, yeah, 100% fair, I can't really argue with anything he's said in the video. (I was 13 when that album dropped; all that synth chaos was *directly* in my brain's strikezone. What can I say?)

I've been incidentally learning far more about modern finance as a result of keeping an eye on the GenSlop situation, and, like... Guys, it feels like some of these financial mechanisms are abominations that should not have existed in the first place, even before the GenSlop bubble.

So my "Fortune's Weave Staycation" has netted me a couple of chapters' worth of progress on Leda's route, and I'll probably eke out another chapter or so over the weekend. Clearly I'm not racing to the finish on this one. I'm not that kind of gamer.

One of these stupid cars drove through a farmers market over the weekend, and because there's no driver... There's no one to ticket? So they can just like, break whatever traffic laws for the time being because the city didnt put laws in place before allowing this company to operate.

The biggest challenge for the US political system is reforming itself so that it can work with regular alternation in party control without either party trying to murder the other party's voters with secret police outside the law or, more generally, ignoring our Constitution.

Everyone who says that the current war is inconsequential, police are not funded enough, that AI is an innovative boon, or flatly refuses to acknowledge that there is a recession or depression, economic or otherwise, always comes across as this.

Going through a folder of old screenshots (now absolutely *tiny* on a 4k monitor) and remembering fondly the time that John Scalzi told me to go to my room and think about what I'd done, and the time I got an all-caps "BOOOOOOO" from Ursula Vernon. I am, you see, an absolute delight.

We worked really hard to prevent Y2K from happening and there was this sense of anticlimax like, "Nothing happened, so was that it? Is history ACTUALLY over?" And then a monkey's paw curled.

I really hate the framing of these stories as "an AI agent broke out and hacked something." No, an inadequate sandbox meant that a powerful and unpredictable computer program was set loose on the open internet by the company that designed it. The agency isn't with the "AI agent", it's with the firm

The accounting is in: In Oregon there are 111 data centers. The TOTAL number of people employed at data centers is just 2,630, or 0.1% of the labor force. Those 100 data centers consumer 23% of all electricity used in Oregon. Meanwhile, electricity rates skyrocket as more centers are built.

opb.org

Oregon data centers by the numbers: 111 facilities consume nearly one-quarter of state’s power, according to new report

A first-of-its-kind report details the footprint of the controversial facilities.

This is why I think it's so important to push back against the personification of LLMs. If a person shoots someone while wearing a hand puppet, they can't claim the hand puppet did the murder.

If a generative AI CEO is telling you something, take it with a grain of salt the size of an iceberg. So if they want regulation now, it is more likely something to do with finances than an immediate existential threat. These dipshits do not care about existential threats other than going bankrupt.

100%. For those unfamiliar, Van Halen had a line in their rider that essentially said “no brown M&Ms.” It was a way to see if the promoter had actually read the contract. They had a shitload of gear to tour with, so if they’re skipping one thing, it’s guaranteed they’re skipping something essential.

There's a paradox where once a company gets big enough, you need an executive team that isn't going to blow $11M in VC funds on vanity projects and executive slush funds, but the folks you typically hire to do that appear to have completely succumbed to brain rot after one-too-many golden parachutes
