I wouldn’t mind if the last 10 seconds of “Kill Me” by Phoebe Bridgers went on for 45 minutes and just became the rest of the album

I got the Voyager Expanded Book editions of Neuromancer, Count Zero, and Mona Lisa Overdrive working with Stacks. Archive Utility was no help but the Unarchiver had no problem with .sit and .sea files.

This seems like an interesting way to read these and I’ve been meaning to revisit them before I listen to the (year and a half old) The Sprawl Trilogy unit on Shelved by Genre

Finally achieved an incredible unprecedented Lovers Survive + Future Generation + Rat Pacifist win in Dragon Sweeper.

Can’t believe this thing cinched GOTY for the fourth year running, truly an epochal work.

If you know how to do something, AI is probably not as good at doing it as you are. And if you don’t know how to do something AI won’t do as good a job for you as someone who does.

But AI can do things very fast. So if you know how to do something, it may be faster to get AI to do it and then verify/correct the work instead of just doing it.

But it often requires nontrivial work upfront to provide detailed directions and context, which is wasted effort if it isn’t able to produce satisfactory result and you have to do it yourself.

And if there isn’t a good, and ideally automated, way to verify the work it does, that can take more time than you think, and the work can be more annoying to do. It’s more fun to solve a problem than to check the solution to a problem.
