My brain doesn't sit still so...

Online:

  • rereading the Worm web serial by Wildbow
  • reading Ward, also by Wildbow
  • reading A Practical Guide to Evil (I think we're on book 7?) with my wife

Offline:

  • Wyrd Sister's from Terry Pratchett's disc world
  • City Song by Oliver Blakemore
  • Games Wizards play by Diane Duane

Each one takes turns in the forefront of my thoughts, a space they share with games and TV/movies, but I'm going through all of them slowly.

Pretty much any optical illusion that involves "random" patterns actually involves pseudorandom noise, just like adversarial generative networks use tailored pseudorandom noise to fool the discriminator.

I thought the exact same thing. Always fun to find a new way my brain can be tricked.

I mean, you can make a smallish one as long as you don't live anywhere that gets too hot or cold.

On the one hand, it has the same potential as reddit to be anonymized. On the other hand, how hard could I be to pin down?

OP takes their basketball very seriously. And with some... Esoteric House rules.

I've brought Lemmy up, but no one's seemed very interested. As for my takes, welllll... I share them when I'm in polite company.

Bronies do not necessarily fall into any of the L, G, B, T, or Q categories, but they do seem to fit in with the crowd, at least in Putin's opinion apparently. Hence, they must belong to the +.

They're not even, they're measured in bits per second. That's like saying temperature is measured in calories.

I mean there's magnetic tape. It's not, like, usable. But it's also none too volatile if stored properly.
