Hate when I'm trying to find my luggage at the baggage claim but they all look the same. Many such cases.

The thing with shows like Il était une fois la vie and Osmosis Jones and Cell at Work is that a human society is an obvious, useful, and clear metaphor to explain to a young public how the immensely complex human body functions. But also a society that actually worked like a human body would be a murderous totalitarian nightmare that would make the Third Reich look like Mr. Roger's neighborhood.

Thank heavens blood cells aren't actually sapient!

So far the qualitatively best use I've found for AI is in discovering unknown unknowns, and it's genuinely phenomenal at it. Like an LLM trained on the whole internet has intuitive awareness of basically every topic, so if you describe a problem you're having to Claude it'll just kinda bring up related shit that you didn't even know existed, and maybe it gets some of the details wrong but now you have a whole new avenue of the problem to dig into and read up on, frequently with actual verifiable sources that Claude already found links for to get you started, and very often that's enough to get you fully unstuck and also now you have a better and broader understanding of the world and how to move through it effectively. It rules

MANY people would want my Tumblr handle

a small handful of folks might want my Tumblr handle

I'm the only one who wants my url (positive)

Honestly? I don't even want this url myself

there are too many things happening this summer that i'm thinking we are going to need an extra 6-12 months of june and possibly another 3-4 months of july. probably no extra august as the problem should hopefully sort itself out by then. we are also looking into extending the day night cycle to 55 hours and extending the human lifespan to 10000 years.

auto immune disorders happen when the immune system ignores regulatory factors and begins attacking healthy bodily tissues, due to what scientists refer to as "sheer love of the game"

sometimes an american will be talking to you and they start throwing around numbers like 70 or 90 when talking about the weather and you just have to smile and nod

What 50 states might look like if they were redrawn today based on economic connections.

What’s that big empty space?

Desert and forests, mostly. Not many cities in that area.
