It's been so fascinating to see it change colors over the past month or so.

Red leaves with a hint of lighter orange.

October is the most colorful month! #GardenPosting

Yellow autumn raspberries, ranging from pale yellow green to apricot.

The sun dancing on the deep red leaves of a Japanese maple tree.

A pink rose, still furled, like the marsipan rose on a Swedish princess cake.

Lemon yellow rose in sunshine, full of petals. (A David Austin rose called Charles Darwin.)

RIGHT?! And at least if I mess up it's my own mistake, not random "hallucinations". One of our first "look how great AI is!" workshops was "AI can plan your day!" and this was back in 2023 but. Uh. No it could not it had no idea what my job was?? But even the best AI doesn't know what's in my head?

If nothing else the audiobook is on its US release schedule, and I DO like Greta Jung, so...!

Yeah, your AT Protocol/Atmosphere handle and password are the same across apps! Which confused me for a bit when I started using Mu (the app is in early access so might not be easy to find in the app store).

I am so full of rage at how they're shoving Copilot at us at work. It's a horror movie jack-in-the-box insisting it wants to "help" you do literally your job you already know how to do...!! And I see people who use it stop being able to use search engines and maps and like... plan vacations in LLMs.

Yayyy! Fingers crossed you can find a bit of time and energy for it.

What a good little fridge inspector!

continuing that portrait series of 30ish year old Straw Hats, here’s Some Guy

digital portrait of Zoro from One Piece looking at the camera with a small confident smile. He's in his early 30's, hair slightly longer and pushed back. One of his earrings is missing (implying zosan) and he has an eyebrow piercing. He's wearing a green haori.

Desperately trying to find it for my Kobo since they're only showing me the UK edition which isn't coming out until MARCH...!

Fascinating how this research confirms a hunch I think many of us have had. I've been forced to use some AI tools at work, which has made me more determined to stay away from chatbot shortcuts, "AI assistant" searches & machine translation. Especially when I see how they impact people around me!

A graph from the linked article that shows two groups solving problems. One has AI tools, one doesn't. At first the AI group solves more, but then the researchers take away their tools and their rates plummet to under the control group. The skip rate over time rate shows the same thing. Once the AI group lose their AI tools they skip way more than the control group Text:
"There was a significant drop-off in the solve rate for the group that had access to an AI tool, represented by the orange line, after the tool was removed. There was also a sharp increase in the rate at which participants skipped questions, shown in the lower graph."

It's always nice to get your preferred handle!

Just knowing it was happening to you has been like a tiny pebble in my mental shoe! It must be an enormous relief! Though I'm almost afraid to ask what they replaced it with?

So glad to hear it went well!

Why does Korea have a holiday for the alphabet? Because unlike other writing systems that evolved over centuries, Hangul was the work of one dude who solved mass illiteracy by sitting down and creating a brand new fully-formed system from scratch that anyone can learn almost instantly.

I've been doing Festivids stuff for the past month and had the signup open in a tab! But apparently you need to, you know. Put data in there and press submit??

Spooky ghost caught on camera!!

An out of focus flash photo of a dark room by a staircase where a blob of fluffy gray (ghost! ...or our cat Meenie) sits on the floor with huge glowing eyes.

Cats who were DEFINITELY NOT about to fight over the armchair.

Fluffy gray Meenie cat and her white and gray sister Nora on a yellow armchair covered in quilts and cushions. Meenie is on her back looking up at the camera (her fight move is "lie back and kick"). Nora is sitting cutely and innocently.

PHEW just remembered that I can't just make lists I actually have to do the thing on AO3 to be signed up. Which I am now! Though I'm only halfway through my Dear Festividder letter... I'm clearly incapable of shutting up about the ten things I most want vids for.

OH NO! Hope you can get a new one with a minimum of hassle, and that you didn't lose too much food.

I think Eurosky glitched there for a bit - lots of people reporting issues on DownOrNot, though their own status page didn't report any outage. Maybe lots of people switching over?

There's one man I've wanted to give a copy of Banned Book Club to since 2020. Moon Jae-In. But I couldn't because he was busy being president. It was the last panel of our book! Today, we got the chance. But that wasn't the best part.

It's so cute! And in the way! Just like a real cat. 😊

Someone at work guessed it! I'm very impressed as I am not usually a literary fiction person.

Oh poor little cats! Hoping it'll all be over fast so you can have them home safe ASAP. *hugs*

We report: in the past few days, we have come to the conclusion that our favourite pair of shoes is no longer waterproof. Upon close examination, we have noticed a gap between the midsole and the outsole of our left shoe. In the meantime, the clouds have kept on getting taller.

Digital painting of a bright, sunny blue sky, partly covered in large storm clouds. They are dark grey where they are shrouded in rain and shadows, and bright white where the sun hits them. One of the lighter clouds is wispy, rising high over the landscape. There are trees in the distance, and a series of sunlit roofs in the lower left corner of the frame.
