We started watching The Player … and didn’t realize why. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

My understanding is the technical term for this is ‘crack smoking crazy’.

Perhaps counter this by doing exactly the same … without the lying? Sign this petition saying “I will loudly proclaim Musk is a Shithead on sight.” You won’t win a million, but poorly paid yet telegenic spokespeople will make that claim.

We stopped using our amazon card, so now we have a bunch of airline points instead. Shai and I have taken to calling them danger yolo points.

Every time i see the Kia logo i think “Nine inch nails?”

Someone in my book club reset the Iliad at a Big Tech Co. He has been asked many times and swears none of the characters are real people. mythistorima903254643.wordpress.com/2022/03/12/h...

TIL- Patagonian toothfish was rebranded as chilean sea bass to become a luxury dish.

Learned Krull dimension was a thing.

My first C program was a character re-roller to cheat at Angband a (rouge-like) text adventure game. Now folks evaluating LLMs are using the nethack - arxiv.org/abs/2411.13543

The InControl podcast is great.

Didn’t realize how short this was. Reminds me of reading Feynman’s QED book; both side step formal math by using diagrams that impart the intuition behind the ideas.

Starting Brenden Dempsey’s short book “A Universal Learning Process”.

I didn’t realize Angelina Jolie played a Romulan.

Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh was great space opera. And i just discovered she has a fantasy duology… i just ordered the first book.

Shai immediately pointed out the scapula shouldn’t connect that way … then was thrilled to find there are batteries … not yet sure what those enable.

Enjoying both of these so far.

Love this. Mostly because it was what a friend heard when I told him I was reading a book about semiotics. youtube.com/shorts/Mqu-y...

Sprocket likes very specific water.

A friend is tired of me (mostly) beating him at Twilight Struggle so we are switching to a co-op game of Baldur’s Gate 3. I’ve never played. I tend to play RPGs solo and meander aggressively. Not sure how this will go.

I quite enjoyed mitpress.mit.edu/978026254566...
