Saw two of these rolling dumpsters on the way to work today. Just no.
Science version: βIβm right, heβs wrong, weβre friendsβ
The tiny sky raisins!
Oh, that sounds fun
Turns out that if you have a better camera, Teams video still kinda looks like you're being filmed on a potato.
And my eBay account is the same age, it turns out.
I have a couple forum handles that probably date to 2005 or 2006
Iβve never quit, but itβs nigh-on unusable now.
Itβs vaguely a way to keep track of undergrad-era friends.
Probably my Facebook account; 22 years old this year.
Telling students that my Facebook account is older than they are is fun.
I sense Serpentor coming for this property.
Well, *that* is a mailing list I'm happy to sign up to be on. Seems like the sort of book I should have in lab for the trainees.
Given your average Major Sports Stadium, they might be partially digested by dilute beer by the end...
Feral experimental psychologist version: I do this work to learn about the fucking human mind, not about what the regurgitron can puke back at me.
The computational analogy is a toy for students, not a roadmap to understanding how we sense, perceive and act in the world, dammit.
Oh my. Iβm reminded of the downtown Marriott in Atlanta, which is a ~50 story towerβ¦ with slightly low (by modern standards) railings.
Oh, and glass elevators.

Brothers would have been my guess
Presumably the same familyβ¦
The real task, outside the lab?
Donβt die.
Just because the information can support a task doesnβt mean it is the information that supports the task
Human representational needs are not computational representational needs, dammit.
Very much in line with my idea that what the driver needs is just enough information to not die!
We donβt care what colour the car in the next lane isβ¦
My PhD says that they are medically necessary.
Very cool
...I want the 40k blood donation campaign.
Yup, I know that tendency.
My anthological completionist tendencies were sated by accumulating a complete set of the Dozois Year's Best.
Including the first one, which my wife surprised me with as a birthday present the year we became a couple
A white and tabby cat on her back licking a churu to death, heedless of her dignity
You taunt Ozymandias with stick!
You record the Embarrassment of the King of Kings, showing his Floof to the Sky like some sort of mere cat?
This is an abomination.
