I didn't know either. I guess this proves the value/horror of algorithmic feeds.

Well George Bush Sr puking on the Japanese prime minister would make a nice 3rd piece.

Can I get a matching Paula Radcliffe pooping plate?

It's submission behavior. So I guess it depends on their preferences.

Who the fuck called it what now? It's not aliens or Jesus. Artificial Intelligence will do just fine.

Bobby Cox used to coach the Blue Jays. I'm sure he wore sox as well.

Well it's good from my POV.

I think he does here, which is interesting. It is a little unclear because he keeps coming back to AI (and the interviewer is a douche) but he does seem to articulate that intelligence means consciousness which means something non-algorithmic.

I'm not even sure I have my copy of New Mind anymore but I want to go back and check my understanding of what he was arguing back in 2004 or whenever it was.

Eta: I feel like a doofus on a number of fronts. It was 1989, and right there in the wikipedia summary...

Penrose argues that human consciousness is non-algorithmic, and thus is not capable of being modeled by a conventional Turing machine, which includes a digital computer. Penrose hypothesizes that quantum mechanics plays an essential role in the understanding of human consciousness. The collapse of the quantum wavefunction is seen as playing an important role in brain function

So here is where I admit that Penrose is with it and I am going senile.

"Summit competence" of the Peter Principle applies here. He is a giant in his field, so he has to move to an area where he is not an expert. Consciousness is a magnet for people who think their insights can expand beyond the arena in which they were developed. The issue is they often don't know anything about brain or cognition when they try to do it.

 

Cozy, human scaled user interfaces.

 

All I want to do is not get media played when I don't want it. And I already block ads. But this #$&@ thing blocks the x that would close the media.

In the old days almost everyone skated to classical music which was almost always in the public domain.

A few years ago the rules shifted to allow skating to music with lyrics, which opened the door to contemporary tunes.

That change has come with a host of issues including broadcast rights if the performance is televised, or differing rights depending on the country of performance. A routine can be peformed in some competitions in some places but not others.

 

I ate so many cookies I wasn't hungry. I'm sure there will be regrets - I might need a Tums before bed.

 

I don't know if this is what your after, but I flew into Denver today. I ate a takeout burrito in my hotel room while watching tv. I'm going to be in bed by 8.

 

The US 2nd circuit has ruled that auditors opinions aren't relevant in cases of investor fraud because the statements are too vague for people to rely on. Whut?

Wall Street Journal article here for those who have access.

Here is a professor's blog entry for a barrier free commentary on the importance of the case.

 

I am finally going to join the '90s and set up a blog. The audience is mostly students to show how the academic stuff blends with real world professional practice. I'm an adjunct so I have a foot in both worlds.

I have my domain names (parked for years) and free webhosting through my university - but the university doesn't provide any development tools. All of the recommended tools I've run across (weebly, wix, webflow etc.) either want to host the page, manage the domain name, or require a fee to link the page to my host. I'm simply looking for a low cost site builder where I can edit my files and move them to my webspace.

Any recommendations for a WSYWIG style editor? I'd be happy to not have to learn any actual coding, but will if I have to.

The last time I did any of this I was manually tagging static pages in notepad (lol).
