NYT continues decade-long successful effort to put @nytpitchbot.bsky.social out of a job.

I agree with this interpretation, but -- when a convicted pedophile [hypothetically] emails to you "hey you should read lolita" ...

"oh yeah, i'll get on that!" is pretty far down on the list of the ways I might think of to respond, most of which would involve material not fit to print.

follow-up: Probably what everyone else says: holy cow I wish I'd gotten these earlier! They're great. Very very stable to squat in - I had been wondering if I should just repeat my set from last week but decided to bump up (to a new PR, even) and my feet/knees felt more stable than ever.

6'3.5" and I worry that one of these years as I get older the .5 will also be a lie. 🤓

GWODT will undoubtedly be more successful than GWOT because it has even more diffuse goals and - importantly - an extra letter in the name!

I don't have a crystal ball, but expecting consolidation in the AI market is not insane. It could be wrong, but the levels of spend vs the revenue are certainly not sustainable for too long, so one of those two parts has to change.

I'm quite a fan of the energy efficiency benefits of a highly-optimized datacenter. But I think there's room for concern about the AI-fueled speculative datacenter buildout resulting in over-building and subsequent stranding of bespoke single-customer power generation resources & unused bldgs.

(he's home sick from school today so we're keeping ourselves entertained and I'm trying to resist the temptation of letting him play on the iPad all day long)

Happy birthday and happy pizza!

Sigh, edit button, really stiff-heeled.

These are rogue do-wins, fwiw.

"it's not a cult!" they cried, as the arthritic orange tentacles pulled them ever deeper into the mind-rending abyss

I'm pretty happy with it overall. There's a strong part of me that wishes I had gotten an induction stove, but I also like to roast peppers (which I guess I could do under the broiler but stovetop feels easier). It's been reliable under heavy use, generally easy to clean, and I like the 36" width.

those aren't actual daggers I'm glaring at you, they're just .. small sharp knives.

:) glad you're having a good fall. We get back to that fairly soon here after this little kiss of arctic fun.
