You can blatantly tell how Squid Game "season 3" is actually "the last half of season 2 but we wanted more money" by how it quickly kills off likable characters By splitting the season it has actually made those deaths *less* emotional then they otherwise would be

If every episode is half an hour, don't make the finale an hour - just make it two episodes. Especially if you're having to pad it out!

In migrating the demo page for simple-as-pie away from the deprecated create-react-app, I found and fixed an issue with the core package. 2.2.4 released and ready to use. Updated and prettier demo coming soon

Look, I don't want to oversimplify, but the fact that ChatGPT tells you that the existence of non-black non-crows does not confirm that all crows are black but that the existence of non-black non-ravens DOES confirm that all ravens are black tells you a lot about what it is and is not doing.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Playing Mario Party with the youngling. The overscan on the TV cuts off the bottom of the character names. So instead of the Shy Guy, we get the "Shove Guv"

#DrWho/#DoctorWho I'm only 3 episodes into Pertwee, but I have thoughts: Surprised to see a Dr with tattoos I'm going to like Pertwee, once he becomes himself rather than imitating Trouton Autons are creepy AF They killed the dog?! 😭

#drwho / #doctorwho Wish world: That was surreal Lots of wiki reading required, again Whatever happened to calling it season 1 & 2 because it was an entry point for new viewers? Very happy to see Conrad suffering

I'm loving Andor season 2, but I dislike that it's trying to make me like Syril

Why the hell is the discovery feed suddenly showing me right wing content? Now I'm going to have to spend a lot of time blocking arseholes

#DrWho/#DoctorWho Interstellar contest spoiler thoughts: Funny, cheesy, great I will not stand for this Tiefling slander Scary Doctor - love Lots of social commentary - capitalism dehumanising us, colonisation, probably more I need to look up on the wiki who * is (I'm only up to Pertwee)

Managed to finish migrating my site onto #hugo last night It was a lot of work, but worth it #webdev #programming

Talespin was a really strange Jungle Book sequel
