Good morning! I am up too early to say anything clever, luckily for me I can just quote clever people. 😊😉

Good morning and happy American Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it. Regardless of circumstances, we should always be thankful for the life and the love of the people who matter to us. 😊
Gratias vobis omnibus ago.

I just counted the rings on the tree the arborist fell a week ago. 62 years old!
It's a shame it had to come down, but it was too close to the house and we get a lot of high winds here. 🫤
If it had come down there's a good chance it would have destroyed either my house or the neighbors.

"Semper ubi sub ubi"
literally translates as
"Always where under where"
This greatly amuses me. 😁 Maybe I'll get a T-shirt and put that on it.

Ugh! I woke up at 5am and my brain convinced me that time is a meaningless construct and that in a deterministic universe all events have been mapped out and that my belief in cause and effect is an epistemological failure caused by me only being able to see the current moment.
Brains are jerks!

LLMs are disappointing. They will never live up to the expectations people have for them. Useful for some things perhaps, but a dead end as far as creating true self aware, self reasoning AI.
I'm looking forward to the sales on graphics cards when the AI market crashes.

I am physically aching today, I moved a pile of logs yesterday on my property and my body is yelling at me!
This is a not so subtle reminder that I am not a young man anymore. 😐

I am definitely warming up to the idea of #sortition as a form of government. Just pluck people at random from the population and force them to run the government. Maybe we'll get some new ideas for a change, and elections(selections) would be cheap and quick.

Beautiful frosty morning today! 😊 The grass was sparkling in the sunlight.
There is beauty everywhere if you look for it.

Yikes! I have a tree removal guy here taking down an enormous Ash tree, and his bucket truck is broken so he's climbing this 80ft tall tree and taking it down in stages. It's terrifying to watch but I can't look away! 😯😳
