Fathers and their dogs
  • When my cat got old, she couldn't jump up onto beds and chairs anymore. So I would try to lift her up onto places she used to like.

    Cat said no. If she couldn't get up there by herself, she just didn't want to go there anymore. Fierce independence.

  • Just get a smaller car, pal!
  • Parking spaces (minimum) setout sizes are governed by an Australian Standard, which is enforced by planning and building permit compliance.

    There is usually a requirement to provide a certain minimum number of spaces depending on the building usage, which is set out in the local government planning scheme. Most of the time, the more parking you have, the less area is available for the actual building and other uses.

    The upshot is that parking is nearly always designed to the minimum standard, which these days is far too small for the large trucks that the small egos like to drive.

  • OpenAI Just Gave Away the Entire Game
  • Let's not forget this is all driven by people with the right skillset, in the right place at the right time, who are hell-bent on making vast amounts of money.

    The "visionary technological change" is a secondary justification.

  • Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models
  • This is what the 3rd party access to API was really all about.

    When API access was allowed , all reddit content was effectively free: They needed to ban 3rd party apps so they could sell the accumulated content. I expect using content to train AI also factors into it.

  • My cat just died. What is the point of all this?
  • It can be helpful to see these attacks of grief over the sudden memory of now passed family, friends, and pets in a different way:

    Which is how incredibly lucky you are to have had those experiences and memories in your life as opposed to not having had them at all. Which is something to be grateful for.
