  if you have a soup of all liquids and a sieve that only lets coffee and ice cream through it produces coffee ice cream (metaphor, don’t think too hard about it)

  that’s how gen ai works. each step sieves out raw data to get closer to the prompt.

  studies were done and found similar to what you’re saying.

  also the secret listening does not comport with any of the business side of profile marketing, either. So it would have to be an incredibly well kept secret on top of all of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that if you hover your mouse over each segment of Wikipedia's IPA pronunciation key (typically found at the beginning of an article), it will let you know how it sounds in the tooltip⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  they do, it’s just written down. IPA isn’t that hard to learn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨put that in your pipe and smoke it⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The Jim Rose circus is a famous counter-culture performance. At the show I saw a woman put paint in her butt and farted it onto a canvas. There was also light bulb eating, further nudity, chainsaw juggling etc

  In that context, it would be surprising to see them tweet about botany, making this kinda a joke tweet in itself that they would tweet this, which is why it has the commentary.

  I remember a friend of mine becoming a mother and saying, “Yeah the doctor said never to let her head go back too far and a split second later my daughter suddenly decided to fucking wrench their neck as far back as it could go”

  ah apologies. I take it back, then. Someone told me wrongly, obviously.

  I’ve recently learned Americans don’t do log tables in high school.

  Log is the opposite of exponent, so log2 is the opposite of squared, log 3 the opposite of cubed. log4 opposite of x^4 etc

  instead of making things relatively bigger, you’re going the other way and making things smaller.

  Freddie Mercury and Prince?

  Their only controversy is that they liked sex and were bi to my mind, which as someone who that also applies to, I don’t see as immoral.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel like you've reached the end of what the world has to offer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The question was do I feel like I’ve reached the end of what the world has to offer.

  No, and as an example of what I find enriching: music, books, TV, film, dance, poetry, news, science, games - other people would count sports… even if you find between 51–99.9% of entertainment of any and all kinds unenriching and unentertaining, then you still find some things meet that, and thus have not reached the end of everything in the world.

  My point being with such hyperbole: no, no one has reached the end

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel like you've reached the end of what the world has to offer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  frequently, yes. You can’t convince me you’ve never been entertained and enriched by entertainment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel like you've reached the end of what the world has to offer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt I could even make a dent in the amount of art, music, theatre, film, TV, fiction, dance, and reading about scientific studies made only this year so far if I was trying to consume and experience everything.

  Let alone everything from the last 200 years. So, no, even without leaving my house there’s enough new things to last a lifetime

  I dont fault that really, saying good things when a company does good things is fairly normal, as is working for a company that doesnt do good things but you’ve got to have a job.

  Waste is how you frame it.

  Even literal poop has a benefit.

  I do client work, sometimes it drives me mad how much time I “waste” making PPT slides that are just prettier BI dashboards, but then the client sees it, sends that one slide to his boss and everyone claps me on the back.

  Mexico is a big country, Google has shareholders who demand line goes up, people use maps to advertise (“map pack” “local SEO” and brand tie-ins)…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In light of recent events, here's OpenStreetMap editors discussing naming of the Gulf of Mexico⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s a tricky question, arguably there are more people on this planet that call countries by their Mandarin name, followed by their Spanish name, followed by their English name, than the name in the native language.

  De Guo > Alemania > Germany > Deutschland for example
