It has been really good to read through some of these as I start to do my own research in the field :)

well I am tired of getting this email once a week so here's a checklist for what to do if you're experiencing cyberstalking by a partner or ex partner: themultiverse.school/x/six-roses

Everyday I consciously and spitefully embrace the absurd.

Excellent points. Tangentially, I'm reminded me sadly even with phil of sci things can be very scary given the capture of philosophy by AI companies and other boosters (especially doomers)... In my AI undergraduate this actually causes terrifying behaviour in some where they totally backfire. 1/n

"Neural-networks are a black box". "Let's use them to ruin people's lives".

If I need an app to use your service, I probably don't need your service. I don't need you to email the till slip to me and I also don't need any reward points attached to my cellphone number. Kindly fuck off.

I've started to understand why data warehousing solutions are so expensive. I am also starting to wonder whether I've accidentally flown to close to the sun with this one.

It is always unfortunate when your excellent idea hits the brickwall of reality and now you have an _interesting_ problem to solve.

I got a late birthday gift today; this is a pretty book and I am excited to look at some proofs.

I am studying again this year and my research project is on Multi-agent reinforcement learning. But because I don't want to get shit confused with GenAI "agents", I've been calling my agents "little guys" and it is bringing me much joy.

Whenever I see a creator getting piled on for using (or being suspected of using) AI, all I can think about is how we're willfully making the destruction of our industry as painless and convenient as possible for billionaires and VC firms.

I'm gonna tell you about a guy named Peter. He called for support often and it wasn't stupid stuff. But it was complex. He drove a BMW. He was divorced. He was of course a sales person. Probably the most successful sales person in California and maybe the country. He serviced the government.

I was perusing softsynths that I don't want to buy and looked at Reaktor from NI. They just have this page: www.native-instruments.com/en/products/... This is so cool

If I may present an alternative opinion on cloud outages: Occasional short reminders of fragility in centralization and smoke-testing of our societal systems with effectively inconsequential events, is important. There is going to be day gigaoutage culminates, due to lack of minoroutage warnings.

Most people should use a password manager, but there's no one-size-fits-all recommendation. ssd.eff.org/module/choo...

Stop firing and deskilling librarians and archivists please

LLMs are a necronomicon. If you don't make your circles of protection and take care to distrust the smooth tongues and easy paths, you are going to find yourself in ruin. I do suspect that they will get dumb again though.

If only the outrage over me wearing this in a video could be transformed into outrage over the 572 school shootings that happened in the last decade.

If you haven't watched Hypernormalisation yet, you should. If you have watched it, it is probably worth a rewatch. It is pretty heavy though. youtu.be/to72IJzQT5k

Right, @adamwelz.bsky.social recommended I give this site a try so let's give it a second chance. Customary offering of (potato) flowers upon arrival

I saw my first snowdrops of the season today, so this felt appropriate.

Here she is ! I finally painted one of ChumiiCham awesome Space Maid (3D model by Solflamer). Quite a challenging mini, but it was a real blast. #Warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity

I rewatched Hellboy last night and I think it is really interesting how many fantasy movies/books/comics use Rasputin as some kind of bad guy. Like sorry, but is it really that evil to scam the crown and also bang lonely MILFs in your area? Has Boney M taught us nothing?
