New Tom 7 video just dropped, so things aren’t entirely awful (though they are indeed mostly awful). Everyone should watch all of Tom 7’s videos; they are excellent in fundamentally improper ways.

@baptnz I mean, this is in many ways an ideal use-case for such tools. An area expert guiding the robot to solve a pretty well-defined problem that nevertheless would take quite a bit of time to work through from scratch.
@baptnz Well this looks very interesting

RIP Tomáš Kalibera. #rstats lost a huge contributor today. Condolences to his young family.

@siracusa @atpfm Correct use of “the mainland” spotted in this street atlas (John Tauranac, “Manhattan Block by Block”, 2005) that I picked up at a used bookstore over the weekend.
@Gte Nice things; we could have had them. And yet.
@Gte Likes are now florps. And by florps I mean “the algorithmic plaything of a drug-addled billionaire Nazi”.
@fabienmarry Yes of course. The point is that it reads rather differently now because we live in a world where Trump became President.
I just watched Gremlins 2 for the first time since 1990. The entire film is built around a dim, vain, tasteless New York developer named Daniel Clamp, his sprawling Clamp Building and his gimcrack Clamp Empire, which includes TV stations, his inane self-aggrandizing books, and a line of jams and jellies. At the end he falls for a character named Marla. This has been a remark about how the meaning of a work of art is not something fixed or under the control of its creators.
