I'm not sure you can be happy about a month that only saw one play of Lucky Numbers.

I bet you think you can use a touchscreen. My 13 year-old daughter has been using an iPad for schoolwork for years... including a year of remote during COVID. Compared to her my best efforts are poking at the screen randomly with my off-hand while not wearing my glasses.

Agreed. There's always a suspenseful pause and I wait with baited breath for the dice to stop rolling.

Ditto. And now there's my wife that wields hyperbole on the regular. I openly refer to this as "hyper-bowling".

"Starting a show" on our Disney+ app is fraught. Alone amongst all of the other streaming apps it's always had trouble starting streams.

Is that... open world, Zelda protagonist, new game play elements, using the Link's Awakening engine, and releasing this year? I'm not sure my list of awesomeness is complete because there WAS TOO MUCH.

With what do we replace the word? "Dumb as a Brunnhofer" neither rolls off the tongue nor does it honor the actual creator. Something simple maybe, like "Hansels"?

And a devaluation (to zero) of all the work that "use of the word" represents-- accepting the term and growing it. Do they imagine that the word would be in regularly use within the hobby today if it had been trademarked into oblivion from Day 1?

Keep saying it loud and often: generative "AI" is not intelligent, it is riddled with inescapable errors, it is structurally incapable of ever doing half the things its hypers claim it will do, most of it is snake oil in search of a mark to scam, and it's environmentally destructive to boot.

It's best to speak precisely and refer to convicted felon Donald Trump with his full honorific. It's the least we can do as convicted felon Donald Trump worked so hard to become a convicted felon.

For whatever it might be worth, I would absolutely buy a pack of postcards that are 1) Prominently labeled as Tibet and 2) Clearly not Tibet. If they're published by the "Not Actually Tibet Company" well, bonus!

Meta is censoring climate change research and discussion?
Yep, going back to at least 2018 according to Katherine Hayhoe, author of “Saving Us: A Climate Scientist’s Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World,”.

In summary, preaching civility in the face of all our attacks on human rights and framing people trying to legislate others into hiding or non-existence as on the same level as those trying to just exist and be themselves is a disgusting and harmful position to have. It really got under my skin 6/6

We're lucky enough to be able to afford a rule: If a kid comes to the door selling something for a fundraiser, you buy from them. They're doing a hard thing and bravely stepping out. The least I can do is figure out what to do with an extra box of cookies or roll of wrapping paper.

Exactly this 👇 LLM are exactly what the name Large Language Models means. They model language. They construct sentences that sound plausible, even probable. They are not reproducing facts, but rather language that reads like facts. What makes them dangerous is that people don’t understand that.

1. A "staff picks" sign on the table. 2. It's a standalone book. Not the second in a series... or the first of 3. Full disclosure: I get most of my books from the library, and the threshold to check something out is a lot lower than to buy.

No one wants an award that comes with an asterisk. Out of this Hugos mess I feel for the creators that reached a career milestone-- even if they were just nominated-- and are now wondering what it means.

If accurate, everyone involved should be deeply ashamed and never allowed anywhere near a Hugo ceremony ever again. This is appalling, embarrassing and an absolute abdication of duty. They should have all resigned instead of becoming willing censors. Apologies are owed those removed from the ballot.
