We need to really stop using the terms "the flu" & "flu like symptoms". One of the things that led to COVID being minimised early on was medical experts liking it to "the flu", meaning influenza. Which unfortunately most people read as "that cold and fever I had for 3 days in January that I called the flu, but probably wasn't actually influenza". Influenza is a deadly disease that kills people every year. It's really nasty. Yet so many of the infections people call "the flu" aren't influenza

Although trained in physics, I worked in the computing industry with pride and purpose for over 40 years. And now I can do nothing but sit back and watch it destroy itself for no valid reason beyond hubris (if I'm being charitable).

Ineffable sadness watching something I once loved deliberately lose its soul.

Lazy = I don’t want to do the thing.

ADHD = I desperately WANT to do the thing, but I just can’t seem to START doing the thing.

I can't get people to understand that the "hallucination" problem is unsolvable because "hallucination" is how it works. That's all it does. Next tokens based on the whole previous series of tokens that represent "the conversation" being had between prompts and responses combined with the hidden prompts that give the thing its flavor. The fact that it is "right" isn't part of it. That's why they never say, "I don't know". They don't know anything. They are literally making it up every single time. It's why they are so expensive and why they are ruining the environment. There is no recall, no memory, no "knowing". As I've seen it said elsewhere, "there is no 'there' there". It's worse than the Chinese Room thought experiment because at least that produces correct responses. This creates the illusion of a correct response. We are killing the earth and building an inescapable surveillance state around technology that will never get any better than it is right now.

Motherhood can take on many different forms; no matter what form you've experienced it, giving or receiving, I hope you have a Warp 10 Mother's Day, crossing all thresholds of love. #StarTrek

Living on the East Coast means my radio-controlled atomic wall clock is completely deaf to the atomic (WWVB) signal from Colorado. In the attached video, I am using my smartphone to force the clock to sync to exact Internet time via a clever hardware hack. 1/4

Good morning, friends!

This bot is now live, in an early beta sort of state.

When you @-mention it, the bot will reply with a nice message left by a stranger in the past. Any message you send might be saved to give to a stranger in the future.

This is all very early days, but my hope is this will be a part of people's day. Just, a little nice thing.

Stay weird, stay kind.
