Serenity was released 21 years ago today. When a canceled series got the chance to have not only an epilogue, but one on the big screen... 🤯 Cool space chase. That was four months after the release of Revenge of the Sith and the Battle of Coruscant. We were really spoiled.

the reason this is a meeting and not an email is that we need to build a shared understanding which can only be done by back-and-forth conversation and the making explicit of our implicit assumptions and needs, you twat

I fully understand your point. You also know that everybody has been talking about such paper signs for months. It is a known and mostly understood rhetoric technique. You are welcome to point out it’s inaccurate. Figures of speech are shortcuts.

Yes, the National, the link, says that exactly.

Well, the National wasn’t entirely specific about the reason. I might look for a newspaper storey elsewhere, especially if you have a link. Also, who is lying? The National? Defend? Me?

I don’t know, and not that it excuses anything, but he was psycho-emotionally abused at college (?) by his teachers as part of an experiment . Ethically not possible now. Some would say that’s interesting.

*9 to 5* may have been a comedy, but for so many of us women fighting for respect on the job, it felt all too real. Dolly helped make us laugh at the boss and imagine what we could change together. Happy 9 to 5 Day! We miss you, Dolly.

She’s right. Billions of computations to output just a single token. Then the whole process is repeated to produce another token, and so on. Biological systems, on the other hand, employ continuous processes that operate in real time using a tiny fraction of the energy. #LLMs #GenAI

i wonder how long #Apocalypse can go before there’s an intervention to stop Scott from roping his teammates to trees as bait for coyotes. it’s taken Channel 4 a year to produce this show and maybe six months to edit, so i reckon it was weird-tough to do.

I buy a product direct from the website, coz Amazon bad, right? Hackers now have my name, phone, email, and home address. “Ribon” owned by “Be A Part Of” aka “Fastr” which the popular ‘BigCommerce’ relies on, was hacked. Unknown unaccountable fourth parties. Why must I accept this? Every year.

Remember when coins showed the word ‘new’ so that old people didn’t confuse them with the old pennies that made up shillings? No, me neither.

Crime is highly correlated with poverty, so the solution to crime is to make people poorer.

I will read further, but first sentence just cannot be true. We’ve always considered parts of the brain as separated. “For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ.”

Overclocking energy weapons by stressing the fusion power. Heat management. Shields for energy dispersion, different shields for balistic. None for kinetic. Probabilistic AI strategy – let me react last but as if I acted first – avoid damage, hit hard and fast. AI gains experience.

I was going to ask which is good and which is bad, in the phrase “it’s swings and roundabouts” but I’ve already found the longer “what you lose on the swings you gain on the roundabouts” which is actually from fairgrounds and showmen.

If you spend £2k on a tattoo, tennis lessons, or an iPhone Duo you’re – just living. Everything is merely a distraction from the insignificance of life and the inevitability of death. Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think.
