With Space X we thought we were past being stuck having to use rockets made by Nazis.

Plus ça change...

Well, it's #GroundhogDay, again.

“Only in America do we accept weather predictions from a rodent but deny #ClimateChange evidence from scientists.”

Had to get a loaner vehicle from a local dealership because a 10 y/o car that I love needed a lot of work. So they gave me the latest model of the same car -- brand new -- which was vastly less powerful than ours, and kept trying to steer me between the lines and cause the steering wheel to rumble when I hit a line and all kinds of crap that just annoyed me.

The dealership probably thought they would entice me to buy the newer model, but driving it just made me more convinced I made the right decision to put the money into the old car.

There was a practice session earlier on 😄

@stavvers Reminds me of the (apocryphal?) story of crows that pull horse-chestnut seeds off trees and put them on roads, so passing cars will crack the tough seeds open.

But crows don't like horse-chestnuts that much. On the other hand, squirrels love them. So squirrels run into the road to collect them. And sometimes get hit by cars.

And crows love the taste of dead squirrel.

computers are a completely normal field where there are still existing databases built on descendants of something called PICK OS, an early database made in the 60s to organize parts for a helicopter that never existed, for a system called Generalized Information Retrieval Language System (GIRLS), as created by a guy named Dick Pick.

you took a perfectly good turing machine and gave it to a bunch of capitalists. look at it. it's got hallucinations. it thinks it's a parrot. what have you done.

It has been a long day. Still, nearly the weekend.

I started creating miniature 3d printed buildings so that blind people can feel what they are like. So far I have 9 buildings, including the White House, Smithsonian Castle or the Independence Hall, but there is many more to come.

WE HAVE DONE IT THAT HP IS GOING TO HELL AND THE VAGINA MUSEUM IS GETTING MASTODON'S CHOICE OF PRINTER

But SHOULD you do it?

Each time I was at Coventry station, I'd buy a first class single to Birmingham International, which cost £2.10. Then make use of the free hot drinks and biscuits in the first class lounge. A lot cheaper than the station cafe. Lounge now closed, I'm probably responsible.

Apologies to those who watched my latest unboxing live stream. In my defense, it was 50/50 on whether those cats were going to be alive or not.

There’s a magical place, we’re on our way there

With toys in their millions all under one roof

– it’s called Anne Summ-ers.

Discovery of the day. Turning a shell upside down turns it into a totally different creature.

(yes I said "totally different" - shush now)

When I use generative "AI" it invariably contains mistakes. That's just reality at the moment.

So when I see company after company adding AI to every product in sight, I now assume that all of those products are "creating" flawed results, by design.

This is crazy. (Google search is, maybe not coincidentally, crappier than ever.)

We need a whole genre of products that don't contain AI. Maybe they, too, are irredeemably flawed, but at least we'll know the mistakes aren't a design decision.
