Rhuidean, season 3 episode 4 omg 😻😻😻

I grew up reading The Wheel of Time and it was my constant companion when things were tough or lonely. It's one of the reasons I became a writer. To see what they've done with the show, especially in season 3, gives me great joy.

Zeus cat, all tucked into his chair.

It's CES time, isn't it?

The answer is yes.

Saw someone ask, "is the Kool Aid Man the jar or the liquid?"

It's like asking is a human the skin or the blood?

"All the data and indicators say this should happen." Then it doesn't happen? Why? Because when you put more than, say, three people together, chaos is the rule, not the exception.

We were specifically talking about investing in stocks and whether a certain company's price would rise, noting that even great products or earnings don't mean the stock will go up. But, it's very true for any kind of prediction of human behavior.

One thing I found myself saying repeatedly to my 16 year old nephew over the holidays was:

"We are rational beings in an irrational world."

Io is my favorite place in the solar system outside of Earth.

Not to, like, live, of course. It's an absolute hellscape of volcanoes and sulfur that falls like snow. But that just makes it more interesting than like 99% of all the other boring rocks out in space.

This 22-year-old CEO still demands 80-hour workweeks after backlash: 'I care in the way an athlete cares about their sport' When Daksh Gupta, 22, announced a job at his company offered "no work-life balance," he received death threats—and resumes.

He does know that rest and recovery is a key aspect of attaining optimal athletic performance, right?

RIGHT?

The plural of Red Sox is Red Sox.

How about a picture of Zeus the cat instead.

(To be fair, I have an answer about the utility and future of foundation models in general, but it wasn't a clever self deprecating quip, thus not suited for the social media.)

I mean, it is my literal job to answer this question.

Still, uhhhh ... working on that 😁

Was cat

What is this, 2011?

Once upon a time, I built basically all the initial traffic to the digital magazine I helped found -- ARC -- based on my Twitter followers and checkmark status. Now that would basically be impossible on most social platforms.

Except for, apparently, Bluesky 🤩

What wolves are inside of you?

There are supposed to be actual standards for these things. Not that the marketing departments care about such things.

There's the classic, "I'm an old soul."

Nvidia’s new AI audio model can synthesize sounds that have never existed What does a screaming saxophone sound like? The Fugatto model has an answer…

Cool 😎

Here's a brooding cat in sunlight

More moon

I feel like on Bluesky, my timeline is "cleansed" every 10 posts or so by a picture of a cat labeled "timeline cleanse."

This...

This is the future we signed up for 😸

I always find it disconcerting when my younger colleagues don't understand my Max Headroom references.

Wait wait, who is writing about my life?
