Some dipshit posted defending “AI” saying it’s “early days”, which triggered me remembering that I used to get emails inviting me to speak at conferences on AI 30 years ago simply because I had an email ending in “ai. mit. edu”. 😂
“Early days”
Yeah & the internet was created by Netscape in 1992.

John Conway's FRACTRAN, a ridiculous yet surprisingly deep language.

“It turns out blaming the blackout on “too many renewables” was like blaming a loss by Real Madrid on having too many non-Spanish players on the pitch.”

Remembering dear Roman Verostko, who died this month two years ago, aged 94.

Despite using tmux for mumblefuck years, I woke up this morning not remembering how to split the pane horizontally. These sorts of things have been happening to me more often, lately: words, shortcuts, file extensions simply missing and requiring lookup. I don't know how to judge if this is normal (not for me, until now!), age-related, or a sign of something more concerning, but I note the data points.
I swear I’m getting *worse* at remembering to do #MondayRandom10 as time goes on. 🤦🏻♂️

Lee Raymond, former Exxon CEO who denied climate change, dies at 87,
when people think back in a hundred years or a thousand or ten thousand, the one thing worth remembering about him will be the crucial role he played in holding back action on climate change.
I would like to add a link but all I could get was a promo for the Substack app
Currently working through an information security/anti-phishing HR training programme, and can't help remembering that time I was copied into an email thread containing layer after layer of quoted emails, at the bottom of which was my institution's History Dept's web-editor username and password, in plaintext. Admittedly a long time ago, but still...

remembering that time in 2004 my friend jake booked david allan coe's first nyc show in decades. the gig was on a boat, supposedly because coe wouldn't set foot in nyc due to a beef with the hells angels, so the boat picked him up & dropped him off in new jersey. https://jakerocksoff.com/d-is-for-davi

Remembering how controversial so-called "open book" exams were, way back when.
Wow. Admittedly I still teach this, but didn't think remembering how to do long division would be all that difficult. This has got me curious. Do you remember how to do long division? (no answers from current students/teachers please) #poll boosts appreciated. Try 100÷4 if you want to try it out and see if it comes back to you
Sigh, I was acquainted with Rod Diridon through my work with the California Railroad and Trolley Corporation. ( https://ctrc.org/ )
I am remembering the evening of the election in which the California High Speed Rail squeaked by and how Rod (and the rest of us) were very happily surprised.
Remembering Splodge, AKA Plodge, Plodgemina, Plogmione Granger. Gone but not forgotten 💕 #caturday
Love the "take a screenshot of a schedule and convert it into calendar items" demos of AI.
While remembering that just asking services to provide .ics downloads has mostly fallen on dead ears.
Born this day 1927: Professor Bruce W. Arden, who was chair of the department and my advisor at Princeton. Wonderful person with seminal contributions to computer science.

For me, remembering mostly happens through reliving movement. But how about you? 🤔

Worth remembering that 45’s modus operandi is to distract, distract, distract. In the chaos he creates, it’s easy to be overwhelmed or forget where the real problems are. The Epstein files aren’t just about 45’s connections to Epstein. They also illustrate a powerful, corrupt network of people who took what they wanted without caring how many people were hurt in the process. #nokings

#superproductivity app is great. There aren't many apps I can run on my locked down computer at work. But this one is possible to sync via webdav so I installed a minimal webdav just to syncronize the json and md file the app generates. It work flawlessly! I have finally found a way to take my todo's between work and home.
