Got two new albums on cassette!

The first is from Lauffey, and her album is “Bewitched: The Goddess Edition”. This is some great vocal jazz.

The other is the synthwave album “Cosmic” by local Vancouver artist FM Attack.

@atomicpoet Oooh, you said Lauffey and jazz in the same sentence! Now you have to listen to Adam Neeley on the subject (sorry, I don't make the rules)

@atomicpoet I agree. I DID find the historical context interesting, and I learned a bunch watching it. The labels don't matter; I think her vocals are fantastic.

Also unsure how much of ‘I want to move to LA’ is ‘I really can’t deal with SF’ and how much of it is ‘I’ve been feeling skittish about SF ever since two bad racist incidents happened to me there (and no amount of well meaning liberal hugs will make that go away)’

has anyone, in the history of websites and apps, ever found a chatbot useful? when they were powered by humans? what more with random gibberish with AI agents? i don't understand why that is groundbreaking

  • customer-facing chatbots.

@danciruli@hachyderm.io avatar

@skinnylatte I will say this: my startup was purchased by a public company last year, and there is a chatbot we can use for internal systems. ("please get me access to system X," "how do I get info Y," "how do I change my Salesforce access," etc.).

Because there are MYRIAD internal systems, and different systems require different processes (some need a Service Now ticket, some require Jira... it's dizzying. The Bot is REALLY good for this stuff.

    People in SF keep telling my Singaporean friends who are moving here to live in Walnut Creek. I mean, I think moving from a 5M person city to an American suburb is a massive massive culture shock

    ‘You have to get in a car to go everywhere! You commute 2 hours!’ And they can’t understand it. It’s just not our reality in our universe.

    I tell them that moving to SF, a big city, is already going to be a culture shock (smallest city they’ve ever seen)

    @skinnylatte As far as Walnut Creek goes, what I've heard is that you give up a little piece of your soul as soon as you drive through the tunnel, and more pieces along the way...by the time you get to 680, it's completely gone. ;-)

    Cookie’s vet just called back with her new test results. Everything she had which was previously 2-5x more than normal (all liver related) have all come back to well within normal. The vet now recommends keeping her on this medication and routine for as long as possible (instead of euthanasia)! There was a moment a few weeks ago when we didn’t know if she’d make it, or what her quality of life would be. She’s really surprised everyone with her will to live well.

    "Customers not turned off by 's antics instead are losing interest w product lineup of 2 EVs that are ancient in car years (the Models S and X) & 2 EVs that are merely old (the Models 3 and Y)..Any other automaker would have 2nd-gen Model 3 ready to go either this yr or next, but at Tesla, the product pipeline is empty"

    Someone asked me how I knew I was trans and honestly, I didn’t and still don’t.

    What I know is that I started exploring my gender expression and found a lot of joy in it. I took a thousand little steps that felt right deep in my bones. A thousand steps each of which finally felt like getting closer to whatever my true gender expression looks like.

    In the end, once I stepped far enough from the box I had been put in, society labeled me as trans. This is a label I have accepted to find others who have been on this journey.

    In the end I’m trans because it’s an accurate label. I didn’t realize I was trans, I just realized I needed to start being more me.

    @Wileymiller @GottaLaff Gerrymandering and their Fox Bubble has built them into a trap. If they DON'T come across as extreme, they get primaried out of nearly anything. So they HAVE to appeal to the most extreme part of their party to get into a general, and that hurts them in the general. Every time. They made their (puritanical) bed, now they can lie in it!

    @hrbrmstr @JGR0 @idoubtit @GottaLaff I did say "no major problems" -- and recalls are pretty standard in my experience (every new car I've ever purchased has had recalls, some serious). Most of the Tesla recalls were fixed "OTA" that is, over the air, meaning I didn't even have to bring the car in for the recall.

    As I said I'd never give them another dollar, but honestly after nearly 35 years of car ownership, this is the best one.
