    New Model Army Thunder And Consolation
    New Model Army Thunder And ConsolationGet It At DiscogsNMA proved that they were well worth waiting for. Thunder and Consolation begins grandly, keeping the keyboards from "White Coats" on "I Love the World," an anthem filled with bittersweet irony and sarcasm. Self-produced, the album never falters, and the single "Stupid Questions" made an impression on American college and modern-rock radio, especially when working visas were granted to the band and …

    AI will not take your job but someone using AI will – it may well replace Doctors?
    This paper (Influence of a Large Language Model on Diagnostic Reasoning: A Randomized Clinical Vignette Study by Goh et al.) on ‘diagnostic reasoning’ hasn’t had enough attention. The authors fully expected Doctors plus GenAI to win. But GPT 4 on its own beat Doctors hands down.One of the authors made the point that the surprise was that the results broke that oft quoted trope that “AI will not take your …

    La Nencia di Barberino, by Lorenzo de Medici
    The original: 4 Le labbra rosse paion de corallo, e havvi drento duo filar’ de denti che son più bianchi che que’ del cavallo: da ogni lato ve n’ha più de venti. Le gote bianche paion de cristallo, senz’altro liscio, né scorticamenti, rosse entro ’l mezzo, quant’è una rosa, che non se vide mai sì bella cosa. 8 Ell’è dirittamente ballerina, che la se lancia com’una capretta, girasi come ruota …

First we start with the now expected Mysterious Saying. In this case, “Ant-Aransa,” a quotation from the inspiring work – Treyavir.

    Challenges
    It’s a strange phenomenon that I cannot always place. Jealousy and envy can be two close bed partners, of course they can, but then there is expert knowledge, insider knowledge and a range of levels between just disliking someone and all the way up to hatefulness. Challenging the status quo of any majority and suddenly... Source

    A Ko-Fi PSA
    Quick PSA for the very kind people who decided to support what I do over on Ko-Fi. I recently noticed that some memberships were getting stuck with a pending label even though they were working fine in the months before. Apparently, that’s caused by a bug—probably on the Ko-Fi side but still can’t say for sure—and if you were a supporter affected by this you probably didn’t even get an …

    Tsuzukiyamagata
    Tsuzukiyamagata つづき山形 means “continuing mountain form” in Japanese. It’s called “mountain range pattern” by Daruma which sounds more lyrical than the literal translation.The tsuzukiyamagata pattern is a traditional Japanese pattern. It represents a geometric abstraction of –you guessed it– a mountain range. It is made up of many straight lines breaking at an angle and crossing over one another.Though it may look a bit confusing at first, tsuzukiyamagata is a …

    Monthnotes: September 2024
    September has been an odd month, not standing out as any particular thing. That’s not to say it’s been bad: work was engaging, I caught up with some friends, and I visited London and Alton Towers. But the weather has turned, with the cold waking me at night a few times. I’ve been having incredible, intense dreams. I’m trying to do too much. Life has felt unsettled. Good, but unsettled. …
