Turns out I finished studying an emulation of SMS's soundcard on June 8th, will resume tomorrow with its vendored "miniz" decompression library from the 9th.

Found lots of boostworthy toots in that time!

I've been on computers with 16gb or less since 2015 ​:neopossum_woozy:​

I should add that the rotating background effect was computer generated, but Max himself was not. Still the show won a BAFTA award anyway. Max himself was actor Matt Frewer in costume.

AI in the Writing Process: A Problem of Purpose

When we value the product of writing more than the process, we’re bound to see students using GenAI to skip to the end. So, what are we going to do about it? #ArtificialIntelligence #AIEducation #AIEdu #AIInEd #AIInEdu #Writing #AIWriting

Just came out from under my rock and learned about the Gabrielle-scale flooding in the Nelson-Tasman and Marlborough regions this weekend;

This is so heartbreaking.

How many of these 100 year weather events do we need to have in this 2020s before people accept that climate change is real, it's happening, and humanity needs to come together to address it?

Finished another book I started in Canada. David Sedaris is good for a humourous easy read.

I think I am getting faster at reading again. I'm also getting more energy at night which is not necessarily a good thing as this world expects people to wake up early. But it's good to have more energy. May it continue.

I got my first realistic-sounding AI generated text “voice note” spam today. Same message as the others, but since it was a voice note, spam filters didn’t catch it. Great.

ai, spam

Interesting – apparently pouring milk down the sink contributes to fatbergs, so you should dilute it and put it on your garden instead. Who knew?
