Excellent work.

I still have a soft spot for their Future Days. And On The Way to the Peak of Normal, by Holger Czukay ex-Can.

Thanks!

I saw an actual adult yesterday wearing a puffer coat with actual puffy spikes all over. And I wondered why I wasn't.

In a well-run world (I know...) these things would be municipal utilities, like trains and sewage systems.

My hope is that sooner or later someone will work out how to make and run them for sensible costs, and the monopoly will evaporate.

Gogogo. It'll be awesome. Or informative. Or restful to do.

:-) Very. Ta.

New stuff! Very exciting.

Gorgeous. Thanks.

Hah.

I suspect we'll discover that it's actually about fifty separate mechanisms running at the same time, interacting in a gloriously complex dance. LLMs have worked out how to be one or two of those.

Just on my way to the toaster.

Yes. This has happened to us twice.

FWIW, I own my domain and forward to gmail, and a small but infuriating percentage of my mail does not make it through the forwarding for reasons nobody has ever worked out. It's not an approach I'd recommend to anyone.

Well, that's going to invent a lot of interesting new scams.

good morning yes

There are so many good tapes. It's hard.

You're going to get rich.

Also interesting to see that the robots have been given visibly bendier sticks than the humans. I wonder if that is about safety or about wrist torque.

It is amazing, ta. But I think the human partners are dancing in step with the robots, not the other way round.

TBH, if I was looking for the people who are the problem online I'd be looking at a fairly small club of billionaires who have deliberately built the architectures to support all this nonsense.

It's time to kick off the next bubble.

Now I am excited.

Oh, this is highly relevant to my interests, thanks

My preorder arrived this morning!

I think the whole point is to demonstrate arbitrary power, so as to cow any dissent at home.

I adore the optimism in this story.

I'm looking for resources - ideally books/papers - on the ergonomics of furniture design.

I'm specifically interested in the squishy stuff. Sofas, couches, beds, that kind of thing, not desk chairs, which seem to be well-studied.

I can't find much, any pointers would be very welcome. Thanks!
