After lunch with a friend, I visited a nearby bookshop on a whim looking for an Emily Wilson translation of the Odyssey. An employee found it in the Classics section and she commented that someone else had recently asked for the same translation. Inspired to read by a podcast series about it

Question asked in a headline? Answer is no. Our powers pale in comparison to the human libido.

Woman In Charge Yes, it nearly always a woman. She serves at the church which hosts the pantry and provides the volunteers. She manages the volunteer roster, the relationship with the grocery rescue and can do intake if a volunteer drops at the last moment.

Truck Driver At my mobile pantries, the food starts at a central warehouse and is taken by semi to the distribution site. The driver unloads the truck using a pallet jack, hoping the lift gate doesn't break again. Only employees can operate the truck, so this can be a bit of a bottleneck 🧵

Visitor Intake At a mobile pantry, this person is walking the lineup of cars getting a count of people being picked up for. Often Intake is the only person they talk to face to face. You answer all the questions, give time estimates and get new visitors registered. 🧵

Food Distribution Station Take milk jug from crate, deposit in car, repeat. It's not sexy work, but the backbone of a pantry is people hauling food from a pallet to a car pulling forward through the line. Parking Attendant Keep cars flowing by the stations, and don't get run over. Be LOUD 🧵

I've been working at food banks / pantries at least once a week for the past ~5 years, seen over 20 different mobile pantries operate and currently staff an indoor pantry on Wednesdays. These mobile pantries take a lot of work to run well and I want to shout out some of the critical roles 🧵1/n

I'm there for the dishes. Did dishes at a brewery and a bar/grill. The pace rarely left you bored, and the food was free.

Parts of it felt more 'push through' for me, but it allowed me to breed some real rare trait mashup bangers. I just hate manually moving around all these cats in a house full of stat stuff that I feel compelled to optimize as well. The shaping of my roster via breeding part was great.

tldr: the Backrooms creates increasingly less accurate copies of the source material, in a way that looks plausible but is also very wrong My take, not sure if there is a more detailed theory out there

Vacation pic of Arch Rock on Mackinac Island, MI. I love how the arch covers the horizon and makes it hard to tell where Lake ends and sky begins
A rock arch stretches in front of Lake Huron, covering the horizon. It's surrounded by greenery.

obviously i think AI is an abomination. i have talked about this for a long time and will continue to do so, but today i was struck with something REALLY COOL that i do not think is discussed enough on the opposite end: the JOY and FULFILLMENT of being able to hire and work with human artists.

I hate stories like this and many reactions to it. The researchers had a model basically brute force 700k configs of a virus, of which they hand selected several hundred to be manufactured in a lab. It's not like they prompted "make me a virus." It's not nothing but the headline framing is overblown
