Here I Go Again I did a thing. Well not the whole thing, just the start of a thing. More things coming soon. Ok, someday. Maybe not soon, but... just wait. Continue reading →

Got tired of my occasional YT rabbitholes making my recommended videos too many things I only tangentially cared about once and don't want to see a bunch more of (or watch a review of something, then get 40 videos of more reviews). Clicked the "clear history" button. Now a new problem :P

Just like here, I found it requires curation. If what you see is shit, then the list of people you follow needs flushing. That said, it sucks when I see a memory of mine with a comment talking about you and you're not there :/

That's a fair take.

It may not have a "swing" value, or a good enough one; that's the range in which the switch would be opened. For example, if the set point is 40% with a swing value of 2, it'll run until it hits 42% and turn off, then shouldn't turn on until 38%

AI Isn’t “Evil”, Goddamnit You sound like a damned luddite. Stop it. Sure there's bad things about new technology, but don't be stupid now.

Yeah. I came for fun and memes and it’s getting less fun. Such is every other place I hang out though.

Because then cee would be sed and UNIX people would start spewing regexes.

Last one, I think. Working in the basement server room, finally heading up to my office with ringing still in my ears. Elevator doors open, I get in and hit the top floor, as the doors close I hear someone call out. Jam my arm in the door to stop it, and Cornel West thanks me and rides up to ground.

Years later, different building, older guy comes into my office looking for an officemate who was out. I ask if I can help, he shows me his phone unable to get to his email. I don't know much about Android phones but I help him, he leaves happy. Coworker says "what did John Nash need?" ... oh.

At work, fixing some IT issue, came around a corner and almost tripped over Michio Kaku who was there with a small film crew interviewing one of my professors. He mimed a "shhh" and pointed to them, I apologized, he spent the next few minutes telling me not to worry and chatting about life.

The chorus for "Vapor Trails" just came on, and instantly I realized how much I need my amp replaced so I can play it at a proper volume.

Apparently YT has figured out how to see people using uBlock Origin Lite and block them. Guess I don't watch videos anymore.

I really enjoyed "Echo in the Canyon". Just saw "Sly Lives" last weekend and the first half was awesome, the second half was depressing (I mean, it's what happened, and I feel better for knowing, but it was a downer). "It Might Get Loud" was pretty good too.

Trying some new things to get/stay organized. Maybe it'll help with those "what was it I wanted to do" moments.
