I'm mostly in the "fuck AI" camp. As is my eldest son. The other day I messaged him and said "I hate to say this, but I just had a helpful interaction with AI."

Python has importlib. I've used it many times, particularly when laying DB libraries conditionally.

I was in a situation where I needed to load arbitrary python code from an arbitrary location. I was sure I could use importlib to do this, but couldn't sort it out. Nine of my search results turned to anything that moved me in the right direction. Finally I asked copilot. Not only did it get me where I needed to go but when I told it "I got this error when doing this thing." It told me I was a moron and why.

Needless to say I got my weird problem sorted.

AI still sucks though.

Man, I hope the Duttons don't find out!

I can't stomach most King. My wife has every book he's written.

That said, The Stand would be in my top 5 books ever. I've read it seven or eight times. 11-22-63 is also spectacular. I read it. Watched the Hulu mini-series and now am listening to the audio book.

Well that's the end of me ever doing anything productive for the rest of my life.

And a new phrase entered our vocabulary

It was a bridge too far.

This was a great read. Thank you!

Hard disagree. No matter what someone does state-sanctioned murder is unacceptable. Full stop.

Then you don't need to worry about someone being innocent or authority figures ignoring evidence.

State-sanctioned murder is an evil act.

Reclining your seat is an act of pure evil unless you are sitting in front of a tiny person. Even then it might be considered moderately evil.

It doesn't matter if he was guilty or innocent. State-sanctioned murder is ALWAYS wrong.

Today is my wife's birthday, when she opened her gift it was a reMarkable Pro. So far we're both impressed.

 

There's a song, I think I only heard one time likely on KGON in Portland, OR and likely in the late 70s. This song has haunted me over the years but I have never been able to locate it again.

The one thing I really remember is that there is a spoken-word portion where the vocalist talks about the Boogie Woogie, but pronounces it more like Boozhi Woozhi.

I'm laying in bed quarantined with Covid and once again its memory and my inability to determine what song it was is haunting me.

 

My favorites broke. They were working great but now they don't work at all. I can't favorite anything there icon sits in the middle of the plus sign and I can't move it to any open slot. Things I had already favorites continue to work, but I can't add new things or swap things out.

I've tried dropping my entire inventory and then picking things back up but that is not resolving there issue. It's not game-breaking but it is frustrating.

 

Shortly after my previous post about BEX, my merc company folded due to a lack of funds.

I took the opportunity to install BTA and give it a try. I love the depth, I love the details, but I'm really struggling with the lack of a cohesive art style. I'm finding it pulling me out of my suspension of disbelief.

Has anyone else had that difficulty? Will I outgrow it with time?
