I went to a library book sale this weekend and I found a very old book called “Electronic Life: How to Think About Computers,” which was published in I think 1975? I’ve been reading it kind of like how I would read a historical document, and it’s lowkey fascinating

[smol-blue-bird]

There’s a whole paragraph that’s like “okay, find the keyboard. Don’t panic if it has more keys than a typewriter, that’s normal. Really, it’s fine. The extra keys don’t make things harder. It’s FINE”

[smol-blue-bird]

Thought this section was particularly interesting:

Can the computer create something? At first glance it seems obvious that it can. Animated computer graphics, with their fluid transitions and whiplash perspectives, look strikingly new. And if one watches the machine doing animation work, there seem to be lengthy periods when the computer is acting “on its own.”

But if one observes these processes in more detail, it becomes clear that creation is not occurring within the machine. First of all, computer graphics are not unique. Computers have yet to generate anything that cannot be done by hand—and usually already has been done. Second, the apparent ability of the computer to “act on its own” is the outcome of thousands of hours of patient human effort to refine its instructions. The computer can manipulate a shape for us if we have already informed it what a shape is, what the rules for shape manipulation are, what this specific shape is, and so forth.

You can start an automobile engine and it will run by itself, too, but that doesn’t mean it’s being creative. It’s just running.

Somebody in 1975 had a better understanding of why artificial intelligence is not in any way “intelligence” than the majority of today’s intellectual minds.

On my KNEES for this woman

[sayyoudontmind]

no such thing as going too hard on the drums no such thing as going too hard on the bass. guitarists and singers are almost always on thin ice. there probably is such a thing as overplaying on the keys but i think they should do it anyway

lovely story from a friend today.

Look, this post has been wildly more popular than I thought it deserved, apparently at least in part because "don't burden others; be independent" is far more ingrained in people than I realized. So here's the thing: society works when people help each other. Helping others gives people a chance to know each other, and gives them an investment in the people they help. Helping creates bonds. People enjoy helping, and you are doing a good by letting them help you if they so wish.

Offer help; accept help. You will be a part of creating a helping culture. Which, incidentally, weakens capitalism and the fractionation between people that benefits those who would use us.

[netherworldpost]

A horrifyingly few years ago I realized asking for help builds trust, too.

If I ask you for help then I demonstrate you can ask me for help.

That.

Was a difficult lesson.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

“what does the woman who shaves gain from not shaving” i don’t know, an extra 3+ hours of free time a week? peace of mind and comfort in her femininity? not having nicks and cuts and ingrowns all the time? having a healthier skin barrier? do people think at all whatsoever before saying shit on my posts?

[rosegoldandrubies]

It takes some of you 3 hours to shave? I do it when I’m showering and it only takes me a couple of minutes. What sort of razor are you using? Even when I use an older, duller razor it doesn’t take me that long.

“Peace of mind and comfort in her femininity”

I couldn’t imagine anything less comforting and feminine than looking down at my legs in a sundress and seeing hairy man legs. There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting to look like a woman. That’s not lacking peace of mind, that’s normal and it’s misogynistic to say that femininity is the opposite of peaceful and comforting. Not all of us are desperate to be treated like men.

[thesituation]

oh wow

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Amazing that she has hair to shave off her legs, I thought she was made of straw.

[headspace-hotel]

A perplexing idea...when you don't shave, your legs become man legs...a woman's legs somehow become a man's legs if she doesn't actively change the way they naturally are. Legs with hair are not "like a woman" even though women have legs with hair unless they decide to remove the hair...

[1racoon7trenchcoats]

I don't think I appreciated Curvy Helen Sharp enough while I had her. I didn't know she'd be taken so quickly and id never see her again

[1racoon7trenchcoats]

Thinking about mechanic judy bernly and if you've seen the show youre probably thinking violet would be the mechanic out of the 2 of them and youre probably right but I have a need to see Stephanie j block in a white tank top with her hair up and oh my god allison janney could do that. Post canceled im thinking about allison janney in a wife beater for the foreseeable future
