It appears that the exotic Terraform incantations I knew like the back of my hand just a year ago have started to fade. At least I can still work it out.

Windows 8 szintű elbarmolást látok (na, jó, Windows 8.1), nekem amúgy kihívás a bonyolultabb kezelőfelület, ha a szoftver maga jól működik, de már a kezdet sem alakul túl jól, a Windows-nak új filozófiai szlogent találtam ki, ami egy magyar mondás is: "Ez van, ezt kell szeretni."

I see Windows 8-level nonsense (well, Windows 8.1), for me the more complicated interface is a challenge, if the software itself works well, but the beginning is not going too well, I came up with a new philosophical slogan for Windows, which is also a Hungarian saying: "This is it, you have to love it."

Somehow, I can't work in the mornings. Going to the office earlier just makes longer the "warmup period", this is, the period I stare the computer's screen reading stuff that is completely unrelated to my work.

Lot of wildlife run-ins on my neighborhood trails this week. Ran past three deer yesterday, including a buck. Then a hare as I made it to the top of San Pedro Mountain this morning.

I'm so fed up with the series of tabloid articles claiming Koji was a stand-in actor in koitoki. the 'insider' seems to be part of the staff since they had access to details like the location of the wrap-up party. Idc who they are and how true their information is, the intention is obviously malicious. it's just disappointing that a person like that is blending in with the people my oshi works with, viewing him as nothing more than a subject to sell to trash tabloids.

continued:

the fact that these articles completely contradict official content is reason enough to ignore them. for instance, the article claimed Koji wasn't as cheerful as usual, yet the crank-in footage with Mone-chan was filled with laughter, and she even explicitly called him the mood maker of the set. they also claimed he joined filming late, contradicting the fact that they all met at the initial script reading. plus, on sunomanma, Raul even mentioned seeing the original drama proposal early on.

continued:

an official article from the director confirming he sent the offer to Koji after seeing his performance in 'fake mommy' is the only thing we should believe. behind-the-scenes details that aren't officially shared shouldn't be treated as truth. I don't understand why they're so persistent about how Koji got the role. why not direct that focus toward the one prominent cast member with a history of racism and misogyny? that's the only valid reason to feel uncomfortable about this drama.

So much present tense in generated prose. Terse, authoritative sentences, without breathing room, without hesitation or qualification. It jumps off the page, and not in a good way.

replied to:

What about the lack of density to paragraphs, the length of the sentences, or the confidence and determinism of their direction? Conviction with no limits. So reliably repetitive that you start seeing patterns as if you are looking and reading a record player with some scratches on it. Skips. Squeaks. Repeats. Yet. It gets the job done.

replied to:

Yet. It gets the job done. Here's where we disagree. Using these tools as part of the job, certainly. But if I am to read, discern meaning, analyze choices of diction and structure, consider the context both of the author and the audience, and finally derive value from the written word, then generative falls short on many levels. If the "job" is to produce something no one was ever intending to engage with, then we have a more fundamental question about the value of the job.

…

replied to:

Maybe what I messaged read as a disagreement and mentioning that they get the job done was actually not about producing prose (of any quality). I wholeheartedly agreed and still agree with you. Getting the job done was more about producing output - be it some prose, images, videos, software, whatever. They do generate output. It is not to say that the output is meaningful or meaningless. Some souls do enjoy it. Some others - don’t. I did start with a question though.
