I haven't folded laundry yet. The past 2 days I have a showdown w/ murdercat. I'm sitting at the table, I see her put a paw onto the clean laundry basket, figuring out her best approach.
"Erie," I say. "Eeeeeeerie. Erie."
She looks back at me, frozen.
"Hi Erie. Please don't go into the clean clothes."
She shifts her weight, looks back at the laundry, & puts another paw on the edge.
"I see what you're doing. …

Are all #ISO #auditors this fucking dumb or is it an act, to lure you into oversharing, revealing your process dirty laundry?
Srsly this guy (once again, 4/4 new auditor in as many #certification audits/inspections) is …

Harley was trying to go lay in her bed in the bedroom this morning - you can see it in the top left corner of the photo. Unfortunately, she was wary of Casper lying in wait in the laundry basket. You can see his white ears sticking out the top of the basket. Harley chose to avoid getting pounced on if she went by and laid down out of reach.

@… a lot of such stuff is subtly tricky. We don't yet have a machine to clean my bathroom or kitchen for me, or fold laundry.

IMVHO the most misunderstood part of the GoF Design Patterns book is that the good part is actually Chapter 2 ”A Case Study: Designing a Document Editor” which carries great design advice (it told us to favor composition in 1994!) & the patterns that follow are mostly a reflection of the state of C at that time.
If you skip the good part and start reading the patterns like a laundry list, it must be very confusing as to why anyone would like that book.

I just had a pleasant thought.
Everyone knows that the LLMs have been trained on stolen books, right? And that will include @… 's Laundry Files series.
Which means that any system that has internalised that text will know that the only most plausible next tokens after someone says "Hello, I'm an auditor, TANGO ECHELON JELLYFISH execute s…

One of the things about long road trips is the need for housekeeping. Day six was spent in Ceduna, getting laundry done, restocking the pantry, sweeping out the van and filling gas bottles. Ceduna has a good bakery and a pub on the foreshore. #RoadTrip

I got the laundry going, the dishes going, and the cat's litter box emptied. I need to empty the dogs and then I can focus on the yard.

*scrolling through ikea* well if I buy a bigger couch that means I can have both laundry chair /and/ room to sit and watch TV

When Black Laundry Women Went On Strike And White Folks Had No Clean Clothes

This robot is still quite bad at folding towels but think about the amount of computation, the vision, models, algorithms that are necessary to do this, it is very impressive.

"Ever get the feeling you're being watched?"
Yeah, I have cats...
I'm alway being watched. 👀

Whelp, it's a cracking day for dryin' (laundry) here in Ōtautahi!

@… have you read the Laundry Files' explanation of the stone gaze?
It is a miracle of technobabble justification of horror-magic involving bifocal gaze, the two slit experiment, and the fusion of carbon to silicon hopping one row down on the periodic table
Stross' explanation of the Gaze stands in relation to subatomic physics the way your explan…

I have a new fun game. Towards pay day I start putting anything on eBay that I'd like to buy into my basket - this month bathroom scales, various health foods, saddle soap for my leather hat and a canvas laundry basket - then on the day I'm paid I can just hit the button. It's similar to fantasy shopping but you do actually have to pay for the stuff £££

Today: one shower, two changes of clothing, one bagel, one trip to the market, one failed exercise walk, one load of laundry, one pair of wet AirPods. But: two naps. I’ll consider the day a success.

Random road trip thoughts. I like staying in free RV spots. Since the camper is fully self contained the main purpose I have for caravan parks is when I need to do laundry or have a full sized shower. The photo shows last night's camp in Merredin, about a dozen vans an caravans on site. #RoadTrip

DefFusionNet: Learning Multimodal Goal Shapes for Deformable Object Manipulation via a Diffusion-based Probabilistic Model
Deformable object manipulation is critical to many real-world robotic applications, ranging from surgical robotics and soft material handling in manufacturing to household tasks like laundry folding. At the core of this important robotic field is shape servoing, a task focused on controlling deformable objects into desired shapes. The shape servoing formulation requires the specification of a goal shape. However, most prior works in shape servoing rely on impractical goal shape acquisition meth…

At least my daughters’ bedroom which doubles as my home office is now largely in order. The biggest issue is that our tumble dryer smells as though something has crawled inside it and died. I’ve tried cleaning it with a white vinegar solution but I’m not sure that it’s been entirely successful… and until I fix that we can’t begin clearing the huge holiday backlog of laundry 😣

A nice cool 5k walk this morning but whoo boy was I struggling after yesterday. Maybe I’ll make breakfast while doing laundry and editing marathon and Menningarnótt pictures.

Modest lie-in achieved, shower had, laundry variously put out, put on and put away, Father's Day card written. Now I'm off in search of coffee and hoping to find my father not busy with my mother for 5 mins so I can give him his things.
