天使のいない12月クリア
全体的に重苦しく陰鬱で、恋愛描写がトラウマになりそうなほど生々しく、痛々しさがありました。
恋愛と性行為というテーマの作品で、「恋愛に性行為は必要なのか」「心をつなぐ手段たり得るのか」など色々と考えさせられました。
このテーマ性が僕にはとても刺さりました… x.com/utaho_novel/status/19921

I think about this image quite often; it illustrates that only a small part of image gets 'sent' to our brains at a time. There are moments where we see the whole image, but then it quickly goes back to 'read bit-by-bit'.

That piece-by-piece is why it doesn't exactly trigger the 'uncanny' or 'weird' feeling.

It also highlights why composition is important and the whole 'guide one's eyes' has merit.

At this point I can't retrace the source of this image.

A composite picture of two pairs of legs joined at the waist, lying on a bed in a room.

This irrational fear of socialism from some politicians in the US looks so bizarre from Canada, a country with universal healthcare and some kind of social net that is still sadly very much under the grasp of destructive capitalism.

Are those politicians terrified the people could be healthy, fed, safe, and happy? What exactly terrifies them here?

これ、絵だけじゃなくてあらゆる所で徹底しているんだけど、「褒める」っていうことをしてくれた人に対して、少しでも自分に時間を使ってくれたってことだから、それに対して「ありがとう」と返すことにしている。
気持ちが嘘か本当かなのかはどうでもよくて、お世辞かな?とか疑い出したらキリない x.com/daisdaorie/status/199179

My friend seems genuinely baffled that I am an AI researcher who refuses to use AI! Not only that, but I argue against it from theory, not experience. Why don't I just give it a try for a while, and see what it's really about before I judge it?

I guess I see where he's coming from. Part of the problem is the word "AI." LLMs are not my research focus, so it's less of a contradiction than it sounds. But I admit, being a non-user makes my arguments against LLMs less credible.

I just don't understand why I owe it to anybody to give AI a shot. I know how LLMs work in gory detail, and I don't trust them. I've seen the mediocre work they produce. I've read studies about the seductive illusion of competence and caring they create, and how people fall for that. I know it's all built on an incredibly exploitative business model.

I feel entirely justified in not giving them a chance. I guess I'm just as baffled by how badly he wants me to try it, and how sure he seems to be that it would change my mind.

If the government doesn't bring services to the people (universal health care, access to clean water, safe public transports, cheap postal services, etc) what's even the point of having a government?

Maybe socialism is just rationalism.

I'm sure this is a solved problem somewhere, but a bit of searching didn't find it, so I'm writing my own local web app to periodically download my home timeline (and related accounts, statuses, etc) and stuff it into to make a local .

This is basically to help with the "I know I saw this on my timeline but it's now > [server cache size] statuses old and I want to find it" problem.

1) Anyone know of a baked solution for this?
2) Am I going to piss people off?
3) Should I respect "noindex" on Statuses even if this is a personal tool?

https://eatchangmyeong.github.io/2022/04/22/interest-driven-mu-recursive-functions.html 이 글을 재작성하고 싶은데 예시로 뭘 들어야 될지 모르겠다..... μ를 반드시 써야 되고 구현 난이도가 적당한 거였으면 좋겠는데 생각나는 게 너무 어려운 것밖에 없다
