  • “It only hurts when I move …”

    Bunny is still in the hospital [1], but now that we've talked to another doctor we know what's going on. She broke both humerous bones at the shoulder, but it was break, not a shatter, and the bones don't require any repositioning or surgery, just time to heal.

  • lighter steps

    the way you hold me
    makes the road ahead
    seem less scary
    less dark
    a path I want to skip down
    each step lighter
    than the ones before 
    transforming 
    into a joyful dance
    

  • What you have to look like to be a transwoman

    The Wii Balance Board had pressure sensors that tracked your balance while you played fitness games. It could also measure your weight. At the beginning of every session (which the game encouraged you to do every day), it'd measure and keep track of your weight as you worked towards your goals. Pretty normal so far.

    Yes, I replied to the previous PR (Pull Request) with “Next time, submit the data that will cause the memory overright. Until then, this PR is closed.” It replied with the usual obsequious apology and said that it overstated the severity (“CRITICAL” in all caps) of the bug. And I thought that would be the end of that, that it would go off and spend tons of tokens trying generate input that would attempt to prove the bug and not be able to do it.

    But no, it found a novel approach. At first, I was furious, wanting to nuke the LLM from orbit (that's the only way to make sure), but the pure silliness of what it did is just proved too amusing to me.
