Shocked to hear the news of the passing of John Douglas of The Trashcan Sinatras. Humble, lovely man ..memories of driving in Scotland with him and John coming over to Ireland to talk more about his life and adventures making our 2024 Trashcans radio doc youtu.be/CjPzyhgcDZM?...

Listening to Trashcan Sinatras and pretending it's 1993 for a moment.
I agree strongly with this -- in that difficult moment, the possibility of collective effort was conceivable. Not everybody felt it, but many did. I think the political class did not like this one bit.
Dave Andress@davidandress.bsky.social · 4d agoCovid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

Hey so apparently Claude has a recipe card functionality I never fucking new about and I've seen literally zero fucking talk about ever
What Lemoine could not have known at the time is that LaMDA wasn't alive. Lemoine had trapped himself in a holodeck episode, with no exit. LaMDA was programmed to provide plausible responses to prompts, and had ingested the very same science fiction stories that Lemoine grew up on.

The July edition of my Good Experimental Music roundup is up today. Free to read/share! Thanks to all my subscribers, this is even more fun to write than my Bandcamp column that got axed, their loss! :) www.goodexperimentalmusic.com/good-experim...
Good Experimental Music: July 2026
This time around: guitar and banjo essays, vocal drones, a meeting of four improv stalwarts, and instruments crafted out of abandoned plows.

This is awesome. Prelinger moments: 1,864 public-domain films from the Prelinger Archives, annotated minute by minute with Marlin-2B — an open video model trained for dense captioning and temporal grounding. Search the 23,148 descriptions it produced!
Daniel van Strien@danielvanstrien.bsky.social · 6d agoThe model describes what's on screen; it can't tell you who anyone is or why a film was made. That part stays human. ~$10 in compute on @hf.co Jobs Unreviewed output: good for finding, not citing. huggingface.co/spaces/davan...
Were you a child who read The World Book Encyclopedia for fun?
My secret, Cap, is that I'm *always* angry about old books. For instance, here's a tiny slice of the millions of books 1931-1986 that have no commercial value, that are digitized, but that we're unable to use in large-scale research because they are illegal to share or display.
This is quite handy/interesting! (I want it to suggest more than 5 accounts to follow!)
Brendy@brendigler.bsky.social · 2w agohad a hunch, built a thingie. For You feed means I see all sorts of stuff, can we reverse engineer accounts I should be following but am not yet? labs.tngl.io/orbit/
It’s cute that some people think surreptitiously taking photos of people in public is a “new” problem. (Japan and South Korea have been dealing with this for many decades)
Fascinated by this clever bot that builds webapps based on “skeet” requests. The results and requests are entertaining. @buildthis.bisks.net
I just saw a meme that said “get in losers, we’re reclaiming the emdash”. People. PEOPLE. Where are your STANDARDS? It CLEARLY should be “get in, losers — we’re reclaiming the em dash.”
Given the pace of the last 12 months, this is almost certainly happening in the next 6-12 months.
em@foremphasis.bsky.social · 2w agoOver under on a real rogue ai incident in the 2030s?
"That changes the picture materially — and surfaces a bug I introduced." I appreciate the candor!
It won’t stop at math. Machines getting better at thinking through abstract problems than we are is going to be an emotional crisis for lots of people. I wish we were engaging that directly instead of having ridiculous shadow-debates about GPUs’ inherent thirst for water.

Worn dirt trails cutting across the lawn while the path bends the long way? Desire paths — now you can simulate them before they exist. Free, open-source pedestrian flow simulator: abelvm.github.io/desire-paths #UrbanPlanning #Walkability
Desire Paths — read where people choose to walk
Drop start and end points on real streets and parks, then see where pedestrians naturally walk — and why the plan fights their instincts.

I really hope Dave Kendall knew how crucial 120 Minutes was to a generation of pretentious anglophile misfit kids.
