Sailor’s delight

A gorgeous orange and pink sunset, with radio towers and utility poles, along the the tops of trees, silhouetted against the darkening sky.

finished reading Children of Time 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑 A fun read. Might not be the deepest insight into the human condition, but then again it is about alien intelligent spiders.

Phnom Penh sunsets of late: gloomy afternoon clouds transform to sudden glory. Will go out again tomorrow, been amazing the last few days. #Q5Rkwq3M2FT8UNi73#Q5Rkwq3M2FT8UNi73

Naturally I took a quick peek at Girl Talk's BandCamp page after that, and there's a new EP up as well (free ofc), just uploaded last week. "Don't Come To My House Sharing Your Location", a collab with Michael Christmas, Chris Crack. Not gonna lack for tunes this weekend. [2/2] […]

finished watching Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑 'Gundam Goes Evangelion'. Well paced and extremely pretty. Engaging characters. But moral issues are not deeply considered. And unless you are conversant in Gundam franchise lore it will be a muddle. Tasty junk food, but junk food.

My neighbor from the UK told me leopards keep eating Prime Ministers' faces so I asked how many Prime Ministers he's had (7 so far) and he said the parties simply elect a new PM after the latest one has their face eaten so I said it sounds like they're just feeding PMs to the leopards and then […]

Starting to become convinced that each generation will have a new crop of synthesists taking an ever-wider reach (i.e. Freakonomics, Malcolm Gladwell) who are celebrated for their generalist takes but will be discredited for sloppy methodology over time. Wash, rinse, repeat. (I’m all OK for a […]

ArXiv announces a ban on AI content and the responses are hilarious. > You expect us to actually read the papers we cite?! yes, lol! www.404media.co/new-arxiv-rules-ai-…

Screenshot from Thomas Dietterich on X:
"Attention @arxiv authors: Our Code of Conduct states that by signing your name as an author of a paper, each author takes full responsibility for all its contents, irrespective of how the contents were generated."

With a reply from James Miller:
"So this means you expect every author to check every citation and make sure that every citation is real and accurate? What if it's beyond the ability of one of the authors to verify one of the citations because that citation is in a language he doesn't know or concerns technical material he doesn't understand but another author on the paper does?"

‪[3/3] Some aging bands simply 'play the hits', others seem to genuinely be having fun. Pop Will Eat Itself remains fairly on-brand: graphics straight from 1989, occasionally releasing music at a moderate pace; their Facebook page full of geriatric ravers.

[2/3] Went down a small rabbit hole of 80s / 90s bands still slinging their tunes today; got to pay off the house / rehab / retirement fund. Some are doing better than others. (Would still kill to see Alison Moyet; amazing voice. If you disagree I WILL FIGHT YOU)
