Season 1 of SNW liked to shred canon almost every episode. And binge watching it:

spoilerthe serial reveal of a deep dark secret for nearly every member of the bridge crew got old real fast.

But the cast was good enough that I kept watching. In season 2 we got Carol Kane and a great cross over episode and that's most of what I remember.

I got 3 episodes into season 3 and set it down. I'll probably finish it just before season 4 starts and that will decide if I watch 4 or not. I still haven't mustered the energy to watch Disco season 5.

Every person on the internet that responded to an earnest tech question with "sudo rm -rf /" helped make this happen.

Good on you.

Andrew Robinson was so good at emoting through the makeup that sometimes I forget he's not actually a Cardassian.

It's the same as December, but the blanket is dirty and there's an empty box with a shred of wrapping paper taped to its flap that's been on the corner of the bed for 2 weeks.

Started at 8 but as the day has gone on, I feel more like an 11.

This country was once so resistant to any mandatory national ID that the Social Security Administration was only able to issue cards after assurances that the ID number not be used as such. That didn't last long, and now we're here.

There was a pretty mainstream "I hate everyone and everything" mindset amongst a lot of xenials in the early 90s, when these movies came out, too.

Brands don't like to sponsor songs about flies getting trapped in their products. Unless its a fly trap.

I used to have a rack in a colo in the middle of Portland Oregon. The 3rd floor was the colo and they also had telecom equipment on the roof, but the rest of the building was normal commercial real-estate.

They spent so much reinforcing the floor, sound proofing the floor and ceiling, building a giant door in the wall (so they could crane in equipment), and helping pay for a new local substation that when P.a.a.S. services (AWS, Azure, etc) started they quickly started to struggle to keep the bills paid.

Soundproofing wouldn't be needed if the whole building were servers, but the rest would be.

 
 
 

I'd usually don't log my crimes so I don't need to delete them. But I guess that's why I'll never be the Emissary.

I was listening to music at work today and when Bonnie Tyler came on, this popped into my head. Image and title. This place has broken my brain.

In a good way.

 

A team of researchers who say they are from the University of Zurich ran an “unauthorized,” large-scale experiment in which they secretly deployed AI-powered bots into a popular debate subreddit called r/changemyview in an attempt to research whether AI could be used to change people’s minds about contentious topics.

more than 1,700 comments made by AI bots

The bots made more than a thousand comments over the course of several months and at times pretended to be a “rape victim,” a “Black man” who was opposed to the Black Lives Matter movement, someone who “work[s] at a domestic violence shelter,” and a bot who suggested that specific types of criminals should not be rehabilitated.

The experiment was revealed over the weekend in a post by moderators of the r/changemyview subreddit, which has more than 3.8 million subscribers. In the post, the moderators said they were unaware of the experiment while it was going on and only found out about it after the researchers disclosed it after the experiment had already been run. In the post, moderators told users they “have a right to know about this experiment,” and that posters in the subreddit had been subject to “psychological manipulation” by the bots.

Getting hyped up for Blazin' Bev day tomorrow.

 

I took a day trip to Newport Oregon today, but was still in a Ten Forward frame of mind.
