When I worked at the group home, I got in the habit of responding to every request with “no” even if it was something potentially acceptable, with the idea that it’s always better to change a “no” to a “yes” than the other way around. Of course it didn’t take long for the kids to realize that sometimes “no” meant…

Jamie Benn’s wife and/or GF: DTMFA.

They get paid something like 300k a season to appear on the show. The show enables the bullshit and the bullshit spikes the ratings. It’s a real Human Centipede kinda situation.

Along with my studio AKGs I got some “Quincy Jones” edition earbuds. Now I’m not mad about it because the studio headphones are good and I got them both incredibly cheap (Harmon employee sale), but those earbuds were significantly worse than your stock Apple earbuds. No musician-branded audio components for me, thanks!

Hey, live and learn. I never intended to take them out in public. I was aware some sound would bleed but I didn’t expect my wife to ask me if I could turn them down at home. When I want to hear music sound like it’s being played around me, away from my head, I have these amazing things called “speakers” which are…

Well I’m not a computer scientist so can’t say that I fully understand it but apparently DeepDream is a “visualization tool” for how neural networks operate. Advanced artificial neural networks are referred to as “deep learning” tools and can actually be thought of as a very rudimentary form of human-mimicking AI. The…

I have a pair of Grados (SR60s I believe). They’re not particularly comfortable and they bleed sound like crazy. You can’t listen to them at a normal volume without bothering other people in a quiet room. Maybe the more expensive models work better. I prefer the AKGs I got afterwards, although they’re so huge it seems…

What would critical scrutiny look like here? Questioning Google’s math? Questioning whether the development of the algorithm has any actual utility? What are the “hard questions?”

Should step that GPU up to a 750ti or a 960, both of which are faster and probably don’t generate much more heat or suck much more power!

Wouldn’t you prefer to actually have sex occasionally with somebody who’s really ok, all things considered, maybe not a supermodel but she’s got kids and a job and can’t exactly hire a personal trainer on her husband’s modest salary and whose fault is that really, maybe you could have worked harder in school or moved…

At my current rate of play I’ll finish Divinity: Original Sin in about 6 months and my already-installed but barely-played copy of Witcher 3 will be like a whole new game! Hey, does anybody know how many zones there are total in D:OS? I just got to the second. Might be more than 6 months.

“Do you want to live?”

The late Jimmy Savile is alleged to have been a monstrous serial child molester also, which might not be clear from the story.
