Around midnight of Aug 23, I noticed a particularly bright star. Then, as I watched it, it faded and disappeared over the course a few seconds.

Usually, when things in the sky fade out, they are moving — meteors, satellites that sort of thing — but this was completely stationary. Must have been a geostationary satellite, people say, but those are extremely high and rare to see, especially this time of year.

Turns out stars can collapse without an explosion, and do so about once a month.

I was recently reminded of the movie “full metal jacket“ and discovered that it was based on a book, and that the book has a sequel. I read them both in about a day and a half. Pretty good. Reminiscent of Moby Dick. I also totally get why it’s out of print. As with the latter, the temptation is strong to create a new annotated edition.
If AI was trained on text from the internet, how does it know how to spell “pregnant?”
Tried watching Moana 2, but could only get through 20 minutes. Did GPT write this? If so, they should have paid for the pro version.

Apparently, in Germany, if say Herr Schmitt has five PhDs, the proper address would be Herr Doktor Doktor Doktor Doktor Doktor Schmitt.

Being autistic is like trying to train a machine learning model with bad annotations. You see things that people don’t want you to see, but then they deny that what you were seeing is real, which makes you doubt yourself and your ability to see anything. You see that somebody is sad, but then they claim that they are not, so you think you must’ve misread that. Once in a while, you find out that they really were sad, and you realize that you can’t trust other people to validate your predictions.

I’m excited to share the first public results of my work from this past year. We’ve really built something amazing. Even if you’re a diver, you’ve never seen the seafloor like this.
