over the last four years, I have become increasingly convinced that (a) LLMs are incredibly impressive tools that can do quite a lot, and (b) they have almost no business being in educational settings, especially intro level anything

the most magical thing about this fever is how I am utterly unable to regulate my own temperature. the line between too hot and too cold is razor thin, and reader, it moves!

it's hard to explain how good this game is. I play it around once every 5 years; just long enough for me to have forgotten many of the solutions. (not all of them. I'm still deprived of some joy on repeat playthroughs.) thanks @increpare.bsky.social.

I too lived through Iraq 2003, and I distinctly recall one key difference being that some people thought that was a good idea at the time

then the electric meter reader guy had questions for us, which was funny

we had some birds nest atop our electric meter in a similar setup. we shooed them away, took down the nest (no eggs yet thankfully), then placed a large rock up there where they liked to build. they couldn’t figure it out and had to move on elsewhere, but no birds harmed in process

I cannot recommend listening to this album if you’re susceptible to the idea that your life priorities are misaligned. it took all my willpower to not ugly cry at the gym music.apple.com/us/album/the...
