6 trains within a 20 minute window to make the 113 mile journey from Osaka to Nagoya in about 50 minutes (avg 130 mph). This is normal. On a holiday.

Does aws deliberately misspell “INASTLL” to keep it noticeably different from “UNINSTALL”, as shown here on the #graviton server (i8g, graviton4). As seen at #aws #reinvent

Over this Thanksgiving one of my friends discussed this with me and said, "how can you handle the fact that it costs nothing to regurgitate misinformation and costs you endless hours to review and refute it?" But to me it's not new, with AI, it's the same problems

It's remarkable how much bot attention anything referencing letter-after-G - number-after-zero letter-after-A gets. I wonder if the program would be more typical of government-operated visa programs (read--non-attention-gathering) if it were not so googleable? Naming matters today, more than ever.

I was watching the last 20 minutes of Shogun during the quake and assumed it was part of the show.

These days it helps to look for the beacons of light and the helpers. Keith Haring's art has so much joy and impact, even during the dark 1980s in NYC. I found out he has a stamp so I bought 4 sheets. (I wish it had his signature so everyone would learn more about him)

Relatedly, part of why I appreciate photography as a hobby is that it helps me be more attuned to The Real World and the things therein whenever I'm outdoors. It gives me an appreciation for the aesthetics of my environment, even when I'm just doing errands in my neighborhood & don't have a camera.

Has Google given up on search? Does no one QA this bot? Is search next on the chopping block, @killedbygoogle.com ?
