I have to keep remembering that carrots are really not a sub-tropical crop. I plant them all year but the winter ones are so much better. Right plant for the climate and the season. You'd think I'd know that by now.

It’s important to note some exceptions, not all AI pioneers fell into this trap.
Some, like Seymour Papert went to do a lot of good (creator of Logo, Mindstorms and a principal of One Laptop Per Child).

MLB has removed the #reverseboycott Oakland Athletics game from its streaming archive as an effort to hide it. This fact hit the news, so now people are remembering it again—or learning about it anew.

"""
Writing has been an instrument for some of the highest expressions of the human spirit: poetry, philosophy, science. But to understand it — why it came into being, how it changed the human experience — we have to first appreciate its crass practicality. It evolved mainly as an instrument of the mundane: the economic, the administrative, the political.
Confusion over this point is understandable. Some scholars have equated the origin of “civilization” with the origin of writing. Laypeople sometimes take this equation to mean that with writing humanity put aside its barbarous past and started behaving in gentlemanly fashion, sipping tea and remembering to say “please.” And indeed, this may be only a mild caricature of what some nineteenth-century scholars actually meant by the equation: writing equals Greece equals Plato; illiteracy equals barbarism equals Attila the Hun.
But, in truth, if you add literacy to Attila the Hun, you don’t get Plato. You get Genghis Khan. During the thirteenth century, he administered what even today is the largest continuous land empire in the history of the world. And he could do so only because he had the requisite means of control: a script that, when carried by his pony express, amounted to the fastest large-scale information-processing technology of his era. One consequence was to give pillaging a scope beyond Attila’s wildest dreams. Information technology, like energy technology or any other technology, can be a tool for good or bad. By itself, it is no guarantor of moral progress or civility.

Setting aside copyright/commercial/other aspects, a thought about writing blog posts that LLMs train on. When people write posts, they (a) feel good about helping others, and (b) hope to get some credit and visibility for doing so.
When mediated through LLMs, no longer the satisfaction that your consumer is a human (who might comment, thank, share, etc.); nor the cred that comes from people remembering the author, posting on HN, etc.
That is, it totally destroys the incentive str…

One of the main problems with Game of Thrones, and why I never got into it, is that there's too many characters. There's like a fuckin million characters and I'm not remembering all those names and connections. I can't even remember my parents' birthdays

I rarely share anything behind a paywall, but I'll make an exception for this obit for William Langewiesche. His writing was second to none. I read his father's Stick and Rudder as a ten-year-old (or so) and top-notch writing appears to have been a family trait. We've lost one of the best.

Woke up to email from Montreal that they have a new parking payment app.
The old one is called “P$Mobile”—good luck remembering that when you’re trying to pay for parking—so maybe this is a step up.

I use a Cloudflare tunnel which, among other things, requires a 2FA code. A code number that I was not receiving... Why? Because I'm so stupid that I was using the old Proton Mail domain (protonmail.com) instead of the new one (proton.me), not remembering that my Cloudflare account was associated with the latter.
I am the weakest link in my own chain.

Why is everything on the cloud these days?
I’m kind of getting tired of every piece of professional and business software being a SaaS or cloud-based solution these days.
I have a good computer, it can run a lot of complex programs on it locally. I wish I had the option to do so.
Not everything needs to be synced 24/7. And I’d much rather have some tools include a cloud sync functionality that backs up changes with some kind of regular frequency for version control and cross-device access, but otherwise runs on my device.
These days, when I’m trying to go work somewhere without an internet connection or am traveling and have spotty data - I can’t access 90% of my work. Files don’t back up locally even when there’s a native desktop client app. Why?
It feels wasteful, sending so much data to the internet and back with constantly required online sync and web apps.
I feel nostalgic now, remembering the days of software that would require buying a license every couple of years, that would run on your device and could be accessed even from the top of a remote mountain if you wished, and that didn’t log you out every other week.

SpeechIQ: Speech Intelligence Quotient Across Cognitive Levels in Voice Understanding Large Language Models
We introduce Speech-based Intelligence Quotient (SIQ) as a new form of human cognition-inspired evaluation pipeline for voice understanding large language models, LLM Voice, designed to assess their voice understanding ability. Moving beyond popular voice understanding metrics such as word error rate (WER), SIQ examines LLM Voice across three cognitive levels motivated by Bloom's Taxonomy: (1) Remembering (i.e., WER for verbatim accuracy); (2) Understanding (i.e., similarity of LLM's interpreta…

The Emotion-Memory Link: Do Memorability Annotations Matter for Intelligent Systems?
Humans have a selective memory, remembering relevant episodes and forgetting the less relevant information. Possessing awareness of event memorability for a user could help intelligent systems in more accurate user modelling, especially for such applications as meeting support systems, memory augmentation, and meeting summarisation. Emotion recognition has been widely studied, since emotions are thought to signal moments of high personal relevance to users. The emotional experience of situation…
