“Why are they taking my tacos for a ride in the hills?” - me, about once a week.

Q as in queso.

Edit: having seen C, I retract my suggestion. Queue is better.

But that’s outside the 30-mile zone! Think of the cost!

Afaik this originated when John Glenn made a return to space, aged 77, in 1998, e.g. (first forum post that I found)

Not me. I had a cataract operation and choose to have the lens in one eye be near-sighted (since they can’t change focus). I can see my phone clearer then I could in my 50s now.

The difference being that an ad is trying to sway you to buy a product, but a credit or signature on art is “here’s who created this thing THAT YOU ARE ALREADY EXPERIENCING”.

I don’t know why they can’t distinguish between those.

Of course it is, they shopped it at the Hallmark shop!

Unless they stole it. Then it’s stoled.

I had to look up embeddings: so this is comparing the encoding of movies as a similarity test?

Which can work because the encoding methods can indicate closeness of meaning.

And that’s why this isn’t running an llm in any way.

We had a big tree in the garden that was rotting, so now it’s gone. I did not expect to feel as strongly as I did over it.

Seeing the stump is so visceral, representing something that I thought of as effectively permanent being suddenly gone.

It shaded the garden and the house, it held a rope swing, so it was a tangible loss, but I think that its size is part of what made it so affecting.

Isn’t that twice as much tarp as you need? 10801080pi for a circle the same size.

With 5¼" disks, it was more convenient to keep them in a ring binder by punching holes in them.

The other similar story I’ve heard is someone asking for the backup copy of a disk and being handed a photocopy.

Some laptops use magnets to help the lid snap closed. I took the back off an old Lenovo and could see the magnets clipped inside.

I felt sorry for the one that nearly drowned in the recent LA rains

I mean, most objects are not human.

“Our Pixel range has a fast easy-to-find fingerprint reader on the back. It’s possible to unlock the phone as you’re removing it from your pocket without even trying. How can we improve that?”

“How about we hide a slow, unreliable one somewhere under the screen. You can’t feel or see where it is. When you do find the right spot, it’ll illuminate your finger with the light of a thousand suns. Then, it might unlock the phone, if you’re lucky.”

Is this another example of him hiding some disguised image, just as he hid a picture of the brain in the Adam And God painting?

Very strange prequel to My Fair Lady.

Corridor Digital mentioned them recently in one of their videos and had a 5-minute conversion on what the correct term was before finding that Wikipedia page.

I guess you can look at it from two sides (in two ways?)

I’m not typing all that in. No wonder emacs users are angry all the time.
