but it's such a weird mismatch because in terminator sarah connor was attacked by a time traveling killer robot from the future sent to kill her unborn chosen one hero son. so it makes sense that she went fucking apeshit making preparations and training her son to fight.
in halloween, laurie strode avoided murder in a home invasion. not downplaying the trauma of that but the idea that she and michael are cosmically linked is a real stretch. good thing they didn't hinge an entire trilogy on that

once upon a midnight dreary
while I wandered, weak and weary
to a quaint and curious icebox door
when I spotted what I had been craving
the plums that you were probably saving
for your breakfast, I am sure
forgive me please, I do implore
I ate those plums and nothing more

if only we already knew the solution to ever problem and could add them to our training data
then we could solve every problem

like people are impressed by shit models because they think that their shit models are capable of becoming good models, if only they could be better
like, yeah, if only they could be the thing they're not, they could be better

it feels like the AI bubble uses the same logic as "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" bullshit
like oh, it's fine, we just need to improve the model. some day we'll hit it big!!

got face picking up and running in my modeling tool again~
tomorrow I'll look at getting face box selection working! it's quite a lot harder to get that one right, but I think I can just hijack my edge box selection code and convert it to connected faces, which should cover the majority of cases

Generative AI companies are like arms dealers selling weapons to both sides in a war.
Bob here are tools to turn bullet points into lengthy emails and documents. Alice here are tools to turn lengthy emails and documents into bullet points.
No real value being created.

If the Personal Computer is so good why is there no Personal Computer 2, huh?

what’re everyone’s NAS recommendations these days? (or ideas for builds/build components)
looking for something that can do at least 5 bays, and ideally that can be set up to do iSCSI or whatever with decent perf
