Le Monde caught up with the primary investigating detective as he was enjoying a chocolate croissant and a double espresso at a charming little café. He had the following comment on the case:

“Yeah, we’ll be getting right on that. Everybody wants to find the culprits, and it’s totally not to hand them the nice gift basket we absolutely didn’t put together for them.”

“They kept calling us oblivious idiots for some reason.”

Eh, tried it. Doesn’t seem to support regex or even wildcard matching, which is… suboptimal. The preview window also often fails to show the content of the current file correctly.

Hah, okay. That’s pretty cool. If people are going to be writing farming bots anyway, one might as well make it the formal objective.

I’m fine right here, thanks. Although I’d been using Reddit for some time at that point, I permanently left Digg as part of the Great Exodus. I don’t see any particular appeal to going back to a centralized service, especially in the current climate.

Somehow, that managed to make her more feminine.

It’s hardly surprising. He’s always wanted to be Tony Stark, e.g. simultaneously a nerd and one of the cool kids. Unfortunately for Musk, Stark could pull that off because A) He’s neither real nor a realistic character and B) was a bona fide world-class genius. Musk - who’s so far from being a genius that you need the JWST to resolve ‘smart’ from his location in intellectual phase space - characteristically just managed to concurrently fail at both.

Setting aside all considerations of Trump and his Russian entanglements for a moment, it’s interesting how machine learning mirrors our own preconceptions back at us. It can be nice and validating, but not necessarily insightful when applied to public opinion. All it means is that Trump being subordinate to Russian interest is the common expressed perception. That doesn’t make it wrong (at all, in this case), but we didn’t need an LMM to tell us that.

It’s far more useful when applied to seeking out trends or patterns in scientific datasets where those are considerably less apparent. We really shouldn’t use this technology to build echo chambers for ourselves.

You… grinds teeth may… have a point.

I have a confession to make: Unless shell script is absolutely required, I just use Python for all my automation needs.

A mixture of a combined sub-7k audio sequencer and softsynth, an OpenGL 3.3 PBR renderer and a small BRep CSG modelling DSL.

How… inappropriately appropriate.
