@meetar you must really hate that big latte

Have just been made aware of a deep-sea crab that eats trees; please respect my privacy in this difficult time: https://orbi.uliege.be/bitstream/2268/28764/1/2009%20Hoyoux%20et%20al%20-%20R%c3%a9gime%20xylophage%20et%20microflore%20digestive%20de%20M.%20andamanica%20des%20bois%20coul%c3%a9s.pdf

@randometc I suspect that the (still partial) transition to HLLs, RISC, and interpreted languages is a valuable comparison here. That also involved programmers giving up valuable kinds of control for other valuable things. (Disclaimer: have not used any commercial LLM.)

@lazyreader Truly.

@roseveleth @robinsonmeyer I’m looking at https://www.engineersedge.com/calculators/air-density.htm and around 15 °C, density seems to go up by almost half a % per 1 °C, and if we assume +2 °C on summer evenings, we have on average 1% less air per air these days, which passes a sniff test for me. You know, check my math, but.

@roseveleth @robinsonmeyer I don’t know from baseball and it is early April but like … this is already a thing in aviation, for example.

@urschrei I got an ORCID but I only kept it because it ends in X, because they use an ISBN-like checksum system that has 11 digits.

I have a question about this, and the question is: WWWHHHHHHHAAAATTT?! https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/2041-8213/acba86

@migurski 😌 we needed this

@doriantaylor Tangentially, have you seen @devezer@mastodon.social’s work?

Me reading things: That’s not a joke. That’s a reference.

Me writing things: People who read the pulp sf collection “Galactic Diplomat” (1965) and got past the absolutely terrible politics are going to love this one word choice! Haha!

@ingrid (incidentally, making sure https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0016718523000714 is on your radar)

@ingrid (my new thing is I’m a guy who thinks video games are art but only if they’re in black and white)

@ingrid yeah but it’s in color so

Switching to a fully VR work setup just to stop having to worry about the seasonally variable glare from the window behind my screen.

@grantimatter Much better and much worse, thank you.

@tim enjoy

@maxfenton A flower I particularly appreciate is the dogwood, which it turns out is not even technically a flower! (At least the part I particularly appreciate isn’t.)
