Damn, I really have been replaced by AI.

@llewelly @futurebird @david_chisnall I gave up on sentence diagrams (as taught in elementary school) after trying to diagram a sentence out of a Charles Dickens book. But up to that point I loved them.

And now I’m all into knowledge graphs. Funny world.

Snuggle hugs with Mrs Geek

She: nggh! Grrrngh!

If I’d been paying attention I’d have noticed she was seductively overpowering me and maybe would’ve known to be cooperative.

I keep pondering setup of a YouTube channel or somesuch because I am after all an unemployed middle-aged white male and I believe that is when one is ceremonially called to vlog.

Except I already know if I did it I’d do it the same way I do everything else: all topics, one stream, code sketch play minecraft badly ragequit minecraft maybe talk to the dogs about the sunrise, stuff like that.

Having different channels for everything sounds reasonable and also sounds like something I would never be able to sustain.

Heck I’m not even sure about one channel.

The mental block remains sufficient that I learned maybe three new LLM terms, got bored, and got a decent start on natural language processing in Python instead.

which has been in my TOLEARN heap since ~2004.

As of the January 2025 update, Capacities does offline-first now. It also shows unlinked page mentions for paid users on desktop – given their approach to feature rollout, I wouldn’t be surprised if mentions became general access and all-device later.

But anyways yeah. Offline use and page mentions, this thing’s getting properly useful for my workflow.

So that was kind of a rough spot.

The same scene with one corpse gone and a new one nearby, indicating one body’s items had been successfully transferred only for the player to be immediately killed again
