Today, in DD/MM/YY form, is 24/10/26, a Pythagorean triple, the last one this century apparently

Assuming Haiku and an 80 token prayer text, this implies 4000 output tokens/minute at a price of $5/million which is $28.80/day, or $10,512/year. At a 7% discount rate that values heaven minus 60 years' purgatory at $150,171.

First world problems: my coffee is delivered weekly in 250g bags, but the Correct(TM) recipe uses 50g per brew.

Well that's the hard part done. I have successfully REGISTERED THE DOMAINS.

For the @b3ta.com kids TV horror challenge…

Was watching Buffy’s Anya backstory episode. Friend asked why I sighed. “She’s not of a sufficiently high social class to have domesticated rabbits that far north in Europe in that century, but the writers couldn’t know, the paper was only presented at a conference yesterday.” Accuracy is fleeting.

On it, Marco.

Well, that's a hell of a thing to leave next to a statue of Joan of Arc.😏

Great concept for a horror short, this

Genuinely concerned about what's happening to the space-time continuum in this toilet.

Found out yesterday that one of the first pet cats whose name we know belonged to Crown Prince Thutmose of the 18th dynasty pf Egypt. She was named Ta-Miu, which translates, roughly, as "Miaow Girl".

tremors and jaws are both great movies, and Jaws probably succeeds more as a work of horror. but Tremors is actually perfect. an almost unique example of a film executed flawlessly in line with its vision.

Without opining on the relative likelihood, the nature of a runaway explosion is that if there is any sign of it, you're already too late.

PAUL: What’s in the box? REVEREND MOTHER: Pain. [PAUL hesitantly puts his hand in the BOX, then FROWNS IN CONFUSION. He pulls out A BAGUETTE.] REVEREND MOHER: Hōn hōn,

A reminder that this is all (pre-telegraphed, on record) part of the pre-IPO strategy and should not be taken as indicative of capability that will end up user-facing.

Victor Frankenstein walkinge yn a hurrye through a mall. He passeth a signe: BUILDE A BEAR. Victor Frankenstein doth pause, shake hys heade, rolle up hys sleeves, and walke ynto the store.

The best barbecue I ever went to was a bring-your-own. As in, bring your own *barbecue*. There were about 15 of the things in one garden, and everyone was cooking something different. I don't think the family throwing the party quite expected the level of chaos that ensued

This is hilarious for more than the obvious reason. Has someone stuck an avatar and TTS in front of ELIZA and called it done? I think they have...

Working on a theory that social networks should limit you to following 200(ish) accounts. Going through my list and doing a prune to get the count down; a lot of it was from starter packs with accounts that haven't posted much recently. Wondering if I can script something up...

I still absolutely think that the English rugby team should learn how to morris dance properly and do it in response to the Haka against New Zealand.

I find it endlessly fascinating that one of the most useful tools I've got on my Android phone for interacting with my Windows laptop is KDE Connect.

Well this sucks. RSI flare-up last night has knocked my weekend plans about a bit, having put some games research off until the weekend...

Well I’ve spent the whole of #NorEng drawing the three English lions on a tote bag, time well spent even if we don’t win

A thought occurs: it must be impossible for an LLM system using SynthID text watermarking to exactly regurgitate its training data.

I miss having an edition with the squirrel recipe in the house.

🇨🇦 Tradition decrees that on #CanadaDay my Maple Buttercream Cupcakes with Bacon Sprinkles are #RecipeOfTheDay! Look, I get that this all sounds weird, but they certainly don’t taste weird. Far from it: they are, indeed, deeply rewarding to eat. www.nigella.com/recipes/mapl...

This is remarkable. Together with consumables it costs around $5,000. MinION share.google/eMNE23x2KtCL...

Yeah, ok. So by these numbers Sonnet 5 is a fraction ahead (slightly more than noise? Bit hard to tell) of GLM5.2 for triple the cost.

Sonnet 5 price is 3-5x GLM5.2 on openrouter, with what sounds like comparable capability? Intriguing

Uh... crap? I think this hits the UK too, with the rules cascading into the UK GDPR act. Which means anyone exposing user data to AWS IAM (hello, us-east-1!) or, say, Github (hello, eastus!) probably needs to have a chat with their legal friends

Oxford drinkers may finally be able to swear in the Three Goats’ Heads after the death of Humphrey Smith, the irascible owner of Sam Smiths Brewery, at the age of 81. The pub chain enforced strict bans on swearing and mobile phone use. Smith was described in a Facebook pubs group as “an absolute tit

I don't have anything this stylish but I do have a suit that was made for me about 20 years ago. Most astonishingly I discovered I was able to fit into it shortly before some recent surgery. I have reinflated somewhat while recovering.

And the 'Designer Of The Decade' award goes to...
