Reminds of something my dear old grandpa said to me growing up: “If a hot girl DMs you about crypto, block him!”

But, but KPI’s are how we know line go up.

Checkmate, artists!

Jfc, it never was effective. Anyone who has ever taken this formula seriously is an emotional moron.

On days when a spring cleaning or packing and organizing frenzy is needed, the Katamari Damacy sound track is perfect. Nice continuity of themes, but varying tempos and energy help make a sustainable work session.

Thank Glob. Let me be an ‘individual contributor’ while those who don’t know better yet run interference with corporate.

I really need supervision.

No, really, I am a danger to myself and others. Please keep an eye on me

About what time should I come over?

The People v Larry Flynt sets a precedent for smut peddlers taking a necessary moral stance, I guess

See my comment to OP for a recentish publication that shows the same thing all studies previously have shown. You are quite correct.

No one that has looked at this in a serious way agrees with you.

From the abstract:

“These results suggest that the movements involved in handwriting allow a greater memorization of new words. The advantage of handwriting over typing might also be caused by a more positive mood during learning. Finally, our results show that handwriting with a digital pen and tablet can increase the ability to learn compared with keyboard typing once the individuals are accustomed to it.”

Handwriting helps retention better than typing.

Wow, thanks for that. I struggled for decades and also had a difficult time after a breakthrough. I describe it as being released from a long stint in prison, but there is no one to pick you up at the gate. There’s still a long walk ahead of you.

Yeah things are much better now, but my life path is still altered forever, there’s no going back.

True, but such a shame.

What the Hell even is that?

Yeah, that’s the way I write. It’s the other way around though. LLM are trained on a lot of academic writing.

So I guess, LLM sound like me?

Every damn time I speak.

I’m sometimes exhausting…

I agree, and perhaps some deep diving to find an older dot matrix printer? Should be supremely hackable. I only have experience with these:

Next-gen teletypes

They were extremely durable and low maintenance. Also loud and more stress inducing than a modern SMS notification.

Good times

That was a complete rabbit hole. Thanks.

The only thing possibly more epic would be converting a Linotype to a Linux terminal. It uses hot lead to create type for newspapers, etc.

I was trained to use one as there were so many in use they still have some niche applications for specialty printing.

Anyhow, I call them Satan’s Typewriters and still have small scars from hot lead all over my forearms. And I love technology.

A good film:

Linotype: The Film

Training can be reinforced by opining on said media at work, with friends and online. Feedback from these other models in the form of their own wrong opinions about the media reinforces one’s own model to always be right.

Biological evolution also suffers from survivor bias. ;)

You are absolutely correct that is a major theme, especially in the Foundation books. To be fair, Asimov also buried that point in ponderous prose and scattered it across centuries of book-time.

I think Goyer did the best one could do in adapting Foundation to visual media. He had to invent and re-imagine a lot in order to give continuity and cohesion to a sprawling story. If he had stayed more true to the books, it would have flopped instantly.
