Makes strange nether bleeps as half of Kilim Mosh, translates, fiddles with computers, squints a lot. Bit blurry at times. music: https://linktr.ee/kilimmosh

Saddened by this but he does need a consistent run of games to rediscover his scoring touch and regain confidence. As things stand, he probably wouldn't get that with us this season.

You can see the true powah of AI when the classifier misjudges a superimposed, skimpily-clad 1930s dancer as "explicit sexual imagery", or whatever the fuck. It's a complete collapse of both context and identification.

Once had a two-hour drunken/stoned discussion with my friend Chris about which one we'd punch out first. This is the real trolley problem of our age.

I internally cry each time I see it. I'm particularly thrown by the combination of baggy trousers and early-to-mid '80s haircuts and staches. We fought to eacape these things.

Yup. In a very ironic turn, during my sole Very Serious Job in finance, the only two records my boss and I could agree upon, we shared an office, were the Sex Pistols and Frank Sinatra. Two years on alternating repeat, I've kind of come to like them, by mistake.

I hate to say it*, but there is something not entirely dissimilar between current "AI" hype and Malcolm McLaren's marketing tactics. He obviously doesn't represent the music as a whole, but he was pretty instrumental in popularising the aspects I find most tedious.

There's a pretty big disconnect between market participants and institutional/academic economists which makes any effective regulatory oversight quite challenging. It was pretty clear to me in '98 that large banks didn't fully understand derivatives or their risks. It was just a question of when.

When I was an option market-maker, we got an Instinet terminal to trade after hours. The Reuters rep tried to upsell us on news terminals and we laughed him out of the office. Point being that markets have already reacted before news hits, plus they're not really rational, Tesla being an extreme.

In '83, we were on a school trip to Canada and flying back the class joker, we were all 13-14, tried to board with a baseball bat he had bought as hand luggage. When they refused, he quipped something about the bomb in his luggage and it got, erm, interesting for a wee bit. Simpler times though.

I actually think the NYT is currently (past decade) somewhat worse. If only because the Times has objectively been a bit shit for far longer, ergo it's a given quantity by now, whereas the NYT has been actively immolating its reputation, one weaselly both-sides article at a time.

Ahhh. Thank you for the concise explanation, I had managed to avoid The Discourse and couldn't be bothered trying to catch up.

Had the same issue with a 6a, it is very probably dust build up. You need to look under a light while doing, maybe get a cheap cleaning kit like this:
