@lkarlslund I had an old PowerEdge 4400 with a rectangular glass top as my coffee table for a while. moving several rooms' worth of air noisily around by booting it up was great fun
From Steven Loggins (not even sure about what platform):
"Something I learned from trail hiking is if you're ever lost in the woods, do not panic. Just say loudly and clearly 'Elon Musk is not a genius,' and several of the most unfuckable men alive will appear out of nowhere to call you poor, then you can follow them to the parking lot where their #Tesla exploded."
Stuck in traffic? Next to an "empty" cycle lane? Sounds like you could significantly speed up your journey by cycling.
@moh_kohn what about everyone stuck behind your car when traffic clears though?
(joking - Fiat chickened out of releasing this beauty in the wild)
@ian nothing says "oops" like several tons of reconstructed predator released by single-point-of-failure sysadmins.
he probably wants it as a public counterpoint to his own shit - "see, at least I didn't create then lose a t-rex when I fucked around and found out"
Believe it or not, it is T-shirt weather in London! Looking forward to tech rehearsal today at the Charing Cross Theatre where my musical “Allegiance” holds its first public preview performance tomorrow. I’m giddy as a child!

Scientists left a hamster wheel in the woods, and wild mice, frogs even slugs had a wild time running in it. #Science #Mice #Rodents #Hamster https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rspb.2014.0210
Snail on an exercise wheel
That last boost, about the scientists leaving a hamster wheel outside and finding mice, shrews, rats, snails, slugs and frogs using it, gave me a "hang on a minute - I've animated that!" moment.
Where art leads (original gif 2006) science follows (scientific study 2014).
Anyhow, have a snail on an exercise wheel.

@SwiftOnSecurity or it makes all your searches run slower because something that's used in 0.01% of your analysis tasks is consuming over 50% of your data volume
A shocked, wide-eyed tree
Regular viewers will be aware I like to find faces in things and, well, increase their visibility.
This tree has been sitting on my desktop for around 2 months as I kept failing to find the right eyes.
Opened it by accident just now, thought to myself "wow, the tree has mossy eyebrows", realised I edited them on myself last time I played with it & decided that was a sign I should stop playing with it.
So here you go. Have a tree.
@finn optionally we could try selling them each others' intestines to be beaten to death with instead. luxury option.
@mattround you do realise some meta-AI is learning from the creative requests made of AIs, right? kinda like the "most searched-for terms by country" google does from time to time.
it's going to learn to be terrified of the human imagination
