I've been enjoying the Dungeon Crawler Carl series of books by Matt Dinniman. The way he interacts with his fans/readers shares commonalities with how @emollick.bsky.social interacts with his audience... admittedly this might also just be me talking about DCC. cdibona.substack.com/p/dungeon-cr...

So. These dudes? Totally fearless. Which is a completely reasonable assessment of my intent.
I have, well, reacted predictably to that whole "60 hours a week thing " from Sergey... open.substack.com/pub/cdibona/...
60 Hours a week? How about 4 uniterrupted hours a day?
..or...the AGI meetings will continue until morale improves.

A light, fun, story to get your mind off of (waves hands) all that nonsense. I had a little talk with deepseek , see... it's really interesting to see llms hallucinate... open.substack.com/pub/cdibona/...
Knowledge Anchoring within Deepseek.
...or how a cute conversation with deepseek went a little overboard

I , as you might imagine, have thoughts about the shitshow that is doge and the fed.... though I pollute my thoughts with reminisces (how many plural s' or i's do I add to this word?) of my early career. open.substack.com/pub/cdibona/...
State Department Intake Thoughts...
In which I talk about days gone by, and how much I think about my friends in federal service in the age of muskrump mismanagement of government. Doge? Seriously?

As you might expect, I've been up LCC. I donated to the patrol fund two or three years ago after a whoopsie that dislocated my right shoulder. They were terrific . I'm really glad Vail came to their senses, though all of this could have been avoided literally years ago.
More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social · 2y agoThe Park City ski patrol strike is over. The workers got every major item they wanted from Vail Resorts. -Starting wages up by $2/hr. -Senior workers get pay raised by as much as $7.75/hr. -Better parental leave and professional development. -A better wage scale and more.

I can't be the only one who's, you know, gonna give Bethesda a moment, before diving into starfield. For those of you enduring new game code, I salute you.
Inhave a optically transparent lead tungstate collimator crystal from the CMS experiment......well, from the same factory, anyhow.
Shoshana 🏳️⚧️@shoshana.bsky.social · 3y agoReskeet with something you own that most people don't. I own my own pizza delivery bag. It's wonderful for getting takeout or bringing kugel or mac and cheese to a potluck. I love being able to keep my food hot and pizza places always seem to think it's cool that I have it.

I dunno, I mean, looking at the diaspora from the Kelvin, the idea that 800 people fit in the shuttles and such from that ship seems .... Excessive beyond truth.
I know this come will come as a complete shock to everyone but guess who has two thumbs and contracted COVID from a funeral in Florida. (Me, I have two thumbs and contracted COVID from a funeral with some anti-vax folks in attendance). Dammit.
What, a weather delay for an afternoon (now night) United flight out of Dulles for a funeral? Quelle surprise. Seriously this is like the third funeral that a delayed Dulles flight has featured prominently. Did I build in time for it, as I expected it to happen again? Yup.
Streets of Fire. What a movie! Holy crow. If you haven't seen it, check it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKQgXVRWT1Y
Seriously, it's nice to see people care about the backsides of their inflatable mascots.
