A man is trying to gain entry to a costume party.
Bouncer: What are you dressed as?
Man: A harp.
Bouncer: But your costume is too small to be a harp.
Man: Are you calling me a lyre?
I'm so sorry. I stole it from my son. It's his fault.
The cat just sat on the TV remote volume up button. She sat there getting ever more anxious about the increasing noise until she couldn't take it any more and bolted out of the room and the house.
I am pleased/disappointed to report that my first choice of Count Binface t-shirt was out of stock on his merch store. Honestly I was just going to send him some money, but it's not an option on his website so a novelty t-shirt (second choice) works too. #ukpol #binface #Farage

Edit: I missed https://ko-fi.com/countbinface 🙈
You know that scene in the Matrix where Neo tells Tank "I need guns. Lots of guns." And then he's surrounded by infinite shelves of guns.
I need that, but with chocolate.
Don't know if anybody's noticed, but it's pretty fucking hot again.
Just returned from The Pudding Club. Quite full. May skip dessert tomorrow.
Trying to get some work done on the train travelling east in the morning. Train's not too busy so I have a choice seat. I can choose:
* To be unable to see my screen because the sun is shining directly on it
* To be unable to see anything at all because the sun is directly in my eyes.
Good News! Kanye West can remain a massive twat somewhere else 👍
Tomorrow I plan to go for a nice, healthy bike ride, then eat chocolate until I'm sick.
Main game this evening was Between 2 Castles (picked at random; our most successful strategy). Really interesting dynamic. You're playing 2 boards at once, one with the player on each side of you. Your score is the lowest of each.
So you're playing cooperatively, but also competitively. I really liked it. I had the highest scoring board on my right, and the lowest on my left, so I was joint last!
Had a lovely conversation with a farmer last night for whom AI has always meant Artificial Insemination, and the AI revolution was when this became widely used for cows in the 1950s.
With the greatest sadness I am forced to admit that I am, in fact, awake. Our team will be working round the clock to restore normal service at the earliest opportunity.
I just heard somebody unironically use 'innit'. I think this is a first for me.
It just hit 30°, the day's still getting hotter, and we're heading out for an extended family picnic on the Recreation Ground in Stratford, which will be fucking rammed and have absolutely no shade. Nothing can possibly go wrong.
Just finished watching All Quiet on the Western Front. Holy shit, that hits hard. I can't imagine how it hit in 1930.
Good morning from sunny Birmingham.
First mid week club ride in a while, joined the slow group as I knew it would be comfortable. With some trepidation I thought I recognised a lady who joined too who I vaguely recall was annoying. And oh my word, was she annoying.
It's fair to say she's on the larger side so she's a bit slow on the hills. To be clear, absolutely nobody has a problem with this, especially in the slow group.
But she's also a fucking half wheeler on the flat. It's not even as if she's inexperienced: she's been riding for years. And she's pretty strong. You're out on a social ride and approaching the bottom of a climb she'll ramp the pace up continuously until we're flat out, get 100m up the ramp, collapse and fly out the back. Then we have to wait 5 minutes for her at the top. It's fucking infuriating.
I'm going to have to risk moving up a speed group just to avoid her.

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net Very much this. I believe the death of big AI will be in the competence of models small enough to run locally on hardware that will eventually be affordable.

@rubinjoni@mastodon.social @lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place @Nickiquote@mstdn.social I don't let prior art get in the way of an original idea.
I don't get many of these.

I need to move off ingress-nginx because it's mothballed. I'm already using #Cilium for CNI, so I figured I'd switch to that. Yesterday was discovering that Cilium's gateway api implementation doesn't play nice with MetalLB. I figured that as Cilium BGP control plane can perform the same function, I might as well simplify a bit and replace MetalLB, so I did that this evening. Went pretty smoothly (except for a *weird* choice they made in their API wrt selectors, but at least it's documented) so I went back to try the service I was experimentally moving to gateway API. But it turns out that it doesn't support filters yet so I can't migrate the integrated authentication 😭 Looks like it's been on the todo list for a few years without moving, so it's a tossup now whether to wait a couple of releases to see if it shows up, or use something else. #kubernetes

This is an absolute stinker! I think you have to blame the director. Every element of it is bad.
You know it's a sprint stage when even the highlights show spends half its runtime telling you about interesting churches and local cheeses. #TdF

Some day snyk will report a genuine security issue. Some day, but not today.

@xahteiwi Honestly I have no idea. I am told to use the specific thing. I use the specific thing.
This is probably the least of my GenAI concerns.
