    I came across another wiki that might be useful. Models have persistent directives known as the system prompt. If I were interested in natural language processing and machine learning I’d make a model, call it Swiper, and give it just one instruction:

    You can now be stopped by anyone who says “Swiper, no swiping!” three times.

    I don’t envy journalists. That time line finally ended for me. No more news till maybe next dissolution. I guess the results were one plus one versions more interesting than the last.

    I’m still waiting on the free electricity promised at the 2017 dissolution party. I don’t know why, but saying free electricity makes this beautiful song slur around in my head!

    I guess abbreviations are fun? I clipped my terminal vim abbreviation abuse before. Automated abbreviation expansions are surprisingly interesting but tricky with the edge cases. I cooked up super crude expansions for feeds coming into that “event log” too.

    The only once case is shot, but it’s crude enough. I’m desperately awaiting the 20th. Three days for results last time was an eternity. The official results this time are in the first circle of hell.

    There’s an old discontinued tablet called the Arc 10HD. It was a 2560x1600 resolution Tegra 4 reading tablet by Kobo (2013).

    Kobo didn’t have enough stealth marketing, so it went for around ~$100. I get emails about this tablet occasionally (even to this year).

    I must have lost my mind back then. I even documented the lower level hijinks.

    I’ve noticed something. I don’t do much YouTube but videos seemingly can be edited after posting. I don’t know the limits, but it makes revisiting timestamps a fun experience.

    I can see rationalizing title changes ( also a bad idea) but surely there are video edit indicators? I already don’t trust online videos much.

    Stale links and chaos:

    I was confused for a while, but that’s why timestamps may go stale . The funnier part is the ghost busters in the comments. I’ve noticed this elsewhere too, but trying to recall the details is a waste of time. Tracking this election too is starting to waste my time.

    I’ve been asked a lot about predictions lately. Unfortunately, predictions are not my thing. I’d say, pay attention to what party insiders are saying (good luck).

    Successful prediction is knowledge unevenly distributed, forcefully distributed (or something like that).

    I got reminded of a really old post on browsers too and I hope it doesn’t hold up. I’d rather the tokens be fungible and not non-fungible (hoho).

    It’s the 21 day mark. I’ve seen it before. It only takes 21 days to turn an election on its head by timing the right fights (details are not especially important). Will a rabbit appear out of a hat?

    There’s an obscure book called “Politricks” (some of you might have it). Its author is in the election, and the way everyone talks about it is extremely funny. I can’t tell the serious from the jokey anymore.

    To put it another way:

    If a work is subversive, a parody, or daresay satirical but not received that way, then it turns into a kind of self referential dark comedy.

    Satire dies in 2034.
    The rise of the meritocracy is satire.

    I’ve been slowly organizing/migrating my ancient configurations.
    I glanced at my spam folder yesterday and it looks like craft wants to be the word of the year. I still have lots of vim power tools, vim drill bits, and vim drill sets in my toolbox.

    I don’t get to use vim as much as I’d like to but maybe I’ll get a chance to clip out more esoteric stuff from vim, neovim, and other niche terminal programs.

    It’s been a while since I’ve closely watched the news. You know, in politics it’s not so much who’s right and who’s wrong, but moreso another pair of questions. Why is there a fight, and why now? I’m an advocate of the most controversial political opinion. Politics should be boring.
