Different print impression (probably not by the same woodblock?), but both are beatiful!

I got a bunch of great ones and then I got this: https://www.artic.edu/artworks/91654/blackware-spouted-vesse...

I think I have an interest in Peruvian blackware now!! I mean... Look at this guy: https://www.artic.edu/artworks/6911/stirrup-spout-vessel-in-...

The world is increeeeeeedibly small with likeminded people (sometimes at least, which is most of the times).

I've been happy with my Zero, cloned some friends apartment building door fobs, and using it for missing remotes for TV's and fans. But that damn dolphin is always angry with me for not using it enough.

I got a couple of hits by pressing command-R _really_, _really_ fast. But transferring from Nakamoto's wallet feels a bit like fucking with the first bootprints in the lunar regolith.

For software development that's perfectly fine, and probably leads to less bloat etc., but in the example given it's an Emergency Room. "Make sure patent X gets operation Y" is a bit more important than "More rounded corners?". I know these are bad Kanban tasks but in some jobs you just aren't allowed to miss and just do the things "really care to keep track of". The other stuff is important too.

I totally understand your way of thinking but there's just so much _stuff_, we already kept most of his paintings which takes up a lot of my limited storage space (I do appreciate them though, but it's possible to have conflicted feelings).

It would cost around $3000 to have the diaries scanned today, this number was way higher a few years ago (which my mother didn't have). I know Americans have a lot more storage space in their houses and use storage facilities for a lot of things but there has to be a cutoff point. I have about 6m3 of (already filled) extra storage space in central Stockholm and wouldn't want that much more. Throwing shit away is a part of life.

My grandfather left five moving cartons of diaries written by typewriter, every single day of his adult life documented, an achievement, to be sure. When he passed away he left them to my mother to be scanned, transcribed and moved online, something that weighed her down for the last 15 years of her life.

When he died there was no way of transcribing them automatically (there still isn't really). The boxes stood in my mothers already cramped attic for 13 years, then she got cancer, and she felt a need to finish up things, so she got a scanner and started just scanning.

When my mother died she had scanned about a thousand pages, not transcribed, not anything.

The text in the diaries were fun at times, sometimes depressing, seeing how little he cared about my mother and his family was crushing.

My brother wanted to continue the scanning but I told him that I wanted to throw the diaries away. He kept half a year of writing around his birth (there's at least a sentence) and my uncle did the same, then we just watched it all burn (not literally, we threw it away at the recycling centre).

Not everything needs to be preserved. I'm happy some parts is preserved. I'm happy that those diaries are ash.

Surely you don't always call up and pay for a lawyer any time you have an interest or question about law, you google it? In what world do you have the time, money and interest to ask people about every single thing you want some more information about.

I've done small plumbing jobs after asking AI if it was safe, I've written legal formalia nonsense that the government wanted with the help of AI. It was faster, cheaper and I didn't bother anyone with the most basic of questions.

chatGPT exists

(I'm not saying not to read books, but seriously: there are shortcuts)

But I explained to the AI why we're doing the change. When the AI and I try something and we fail I explain that and it's included in the PR.

The AI has far more energy than I do when it comes to writing PR summaries, I have done it so many times, it's not the main part of my job. I have already provided all the information for a PR, why should I repeat myself? What happened to DRY?

I always get so happy when Passage and Rohrer is mentioned, when I first played Sleep is Death my life changed, creating a story with so little but still endless possibilities. I made a js-version of it but never polished it enough, my first coding project inspired by a true vision, I learned so much.

I share your appreciation of Passage, it is a poem by another shape and a truly _different_ thing. Thank you for even mentioning it, it made my day.

Someone wanting to subscribe to the YT-channel? I don't visit 500+ blogs per day just to check if there's something new. I do miss Google Reader, I think about it almost every single day, I tried using other tools but I really think the RSS-era is over.

Thank you for reminding me! Just sent a couple of emails to my representatives!

Unless we finally get that tooth growing paste that has been talked about for the past two decades. Or actually, offering to shave those teeth down might still make a good business proposition,

What I'm most interested in is what an LLM trained on something specific like this (even though chess, arguably, isn't super specific) has to say in human words about their strategies and moves, especially with some kind of higher order language.

And the reverse, can a human situation be expressed as a chessboard presented with a move?

500 yen coins really do have a weight to them, they feel valuable and can almost buy you a proper lunch. It's a shame most vending machines and subway ticket dispensers only accept the old 500 yen coin though.

If your art style can be put into a bunch of parameters (which it can) it can be copied by a human. Copyright of style is stupid and muddy, it's always a matter of people thinking "the magical humanity" not being possible to put into ones and zeroes.

Or it could help me find terser books I like, people will still have preferences and if the author tries to pander to only the largest market segment I'd argue that's on them.

Certainly something interesting is bound to come out of quantifying things? "Hm, this three act structure thing seems to work, I wonder why." "Children doesn't seem to understand texts which include these words, I wonder why."

Patterns rarely show themselves before we investigate.

I honestly don't understand how people can refuse the idea of that some parts most certainly can be reviewed with the help of a computer. There wasn't a "how good is this book" score because a computer might not be able to tell that yet, I don't understand the issue in looking at the number of adverbs in a book with the help of a computer.

Smell the dish before putting truffles on it and insist that the waiters grate them in front of you.

Please don't do this, that would be obnoxious. Treat waiters with some level of respect.

Or a step back in the right direction when everyone else has been moving in the opposite direction for the last decade.

I love snapchat for silly group chats and close friend checkups. Streaks make me talk/ping to my best friend every day, no matter how they or I are feeling during the day.

It does handle emojis though! In case... Uhhh... You have emojis in you name?

I was thinking about a system for pulling data from verbal nonsense the other day, speaking in tongues or something similar. I can create a bunch of noises that lack obvious meaning for me, but obviously they have some meaning that can be learned since humans are terrible at being truly random (lol XD).

I wonder what level I would be able to share ideas I lack the words for, my perceived bitrate at creating "random" noise is certainly higher than when verbally communicating an idea to another human. Will we even share a common language in the future? Or will we have our own language that is translated to other people?

I love glitch for quick prototyping, the fact that I can point domain names to projects far more easily than ANY other toolchain is amazing.

I started building a Playdate game about a month ago and the bare bones SDK is fantastic, it was a long time ago I had to think about individual pixels. I'm really having fun programming for a solo project, it's really something else.

I'm still not totally sure how Lua handles memory but I assume it's optimized AF. I'm sure I'll run into issues at some point with 8MB of memory but it's fun seeing how much "memory intensive" stuff you can get away with.

Depends on what position you're shooting for, in C-level I only wanted people who tried to think through projects while I tried to finish them. The different attitudes brings about best product.

I don't know about "respectful" for both parties. Bottle collectors trying to take/steal not yet empty bottles and cans has become more of a rule than an exception in parks in central Stockholm.

I'm still very much in favour of container deposit but I'm growing really tired of forceful collecting.
