So apparently bluesky has an anthropomorphized Torment Nexus account, which is pretty much on-brand for there.

@jwz@mastodon.social Occurs to me that the Vaillancourt animation on the recent guacamole.expert website could be a screen saver.

STOP SAVING DAYLIGHT * CLOCKS WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CHANGED TWICE A YEAR * YEARS OF 'SAVING' yet NO NET GAIN OF DAYLIGHT * Sunset keeps getting earlier by a few minutes per day, which is sad but we can adjust to it, but then BAM we are all supposed to change the clocks so that it's suddenly A FULL HOUR EARLIER and it's PITCH DARK AFTER WORK what the hell. "Hello I would like my saved daylight back please" They have played us for absolute fools.

There are a bunch of science fiction stories where the bad guys scoop out your brain, scan the neurons, and upload you to the cloud so you can live forever in virtual paradise, whether you want to or not. The Stone Canal, Iron Sunrise, Jury Service, Software. We are now getting an idea of what *really* bad guys will do with brain scanning tech: the same thing they are currently doing to books. Scan them to train their model, then throw away the useless remains.

Yesterday's Daily Cal was almost 100% about the use of generative AI in campus and city writing. One article mentioned they fired some staffers for using AI. You will never guess what full page ad is on the back.

What does closure mean to you? I can think of at least three different things. At least I think they are different. - A function plus the environment is executes in. - A special operator in a regular expression, such as *. - A set containing all possible results of applying a function to another set.

China's single time zone demonstrates that people will adapt to whatever numbers are on the clock. I mildly prefer year round Standard Time just because it's closer to Solar Time, but that's because of my niche interests. Most people do not care about that. They very much do care about not having to dick with clocks twice a year and suffer from stationary jet lag. Year round Standard Time, year round Daylight Time, world-wide GMT - all would be fine. Stop messing with clocks!

Ran across this ridic steep half block at 48th and Balboa. My inclinometer app said 16° which I think is 30%. The official steepest SF street is 41%.

I mean sure you talked to Mitch McConnell. What's important is whether he talked to you.
