Librarian, technology instructor and writer in rural Vermont; longtime community manager at MetaFilter and author of a book on the digital divide.
Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. This is the weekend I get my wood in (i.e. have pellets delivered) so I'm thinking of chillier days even though it's 70° outside. Trust me, you'll feel better if you make some plans for what's ahead, however you interpret that. Have a good weekend. Image credit: Library of Congress, on Flickr Commons flickr.com

By the overgrown orchard, we're doing cartwheels in the tall grass, the summer din gone with the holidayers returning to reality, the entire island is ours, every crooked apple tree, every shriveled blackberry, every dead leaf; endless time in an empty world, all ours. Back aboard, a gust of wind stirs the ashes in the woodstove and brings to mind the old fires by the beach, breathing through the collar of a thick sweater, warming my hands around a cup of tea and, most of all, shoegaze. Autumn is approaching in more ways than one. And still, we'll be doing cartwheels in the tall grass. wiki.xxiivv.com

Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. My "big plans" today involve sawhorses and telephones and catching up on my newspaper reading. Argue all you want about AI, the analog world will be here when you're done, mostly. Schedule those emails. Have a good weekend.

Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. I'm deep in my Massachusetts visit, becoming one of those people who can't look at a place without remembering what used to be there. My birthday is tomorrow, so there are all sorts of opportunities for reflecting and remembering. Oh and I guess it's a holiday weekend in the US, so maybe schedule those emails for Tuesday.

I’m trying to reattach interior pieces of a decades-old violin case. The pieces were originally affixed by staples that have a 4.5mm crown, 10mm leg length, and are made from wire that’s 0.75mm thick. I have searched a bunch permutations of those dimensions (metric and imperial-converted) with various terms (“narrow crown”, “upholstery”, “trim”, etc.) and am still coming up empty for what these staples are and where I could get new ones, and what kind of device I would need. Anyone here know? Related

Chapter 23.1: The Third Chair An FBI agent counts three chairs at a bench in the empty Basalt lab. Payroll says two people worked there, and the third name on the filing resolves to nothing. "You brought a casserole to a manhunt." "It was a gift." zeroknowledge.ink

Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. I'm out of town helping my sister after she recovers from a medical procedure (she's doing well!). I'm out of my routine and pretty well out of my inbox and DEFINITELY out of it after 5 pm. Be mindful about what you ask for from other people, but just do your best. Have a restful weekend.

Friday afternoon reminder to not empty your inbox at the expense of someone else's. I'll be headed down to Massachusetts to spend some time with my sister next week and I've already got my clipboard out and am making lists. Maybe I'll catch Super Troopers 3 at the local movie house. Either way, my mind is nowhere near my email. Fortunately it does not have to be. Image credit: Randolph Historical Society, on Flickr Commons flickr.com

The people in AI-generated videos seem conscious. Imagine a video generator that runs in real time and shows a man in an empty room. You can talk to him; he talks back. He paces around, gets bored, eats, asks questions. Is this a "video model" or a simulated universe? Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
