  4. A quotation from The Bible

    If I have all the eloquence of men or of angels, but speak without love, I am simply a gong booming or a cymbal clashing. If I have the gift of prophecy, understanding all the mysteries there are, and knowing everything, and if I have faith in all its fulness, to move mountains, but without love, then I am nothing at all. If I give away all that I possess, piece by piece, and if I even let them take my body to burn it, but am without love, it will do me no good whatever.
     
    [Ἐὰν ταῖς γλώσσαις τῶν ἀνθρώπων λαλῶ καὶ τῶν ἀγγέλων, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, γέγονα χαλκὸς ἠχῶν ἢ κύμβαλον ἀλαλάζον. καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω προφητείαν καὶ εἰδῶ τὰ μυστήρια πάντα καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν γνῶσιν καὶ ἐὰν ἔχω πᾶσαν τὴν πίστιν ὥστε ὄρη μεθιστάναι, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐθέν εἰμι. κἂν ψωμίσω πάντα τὰ ὑπάρχοντά μου καὶ ἐὰν παραδῶ τὸ σῶμά μου ἵνα καυχήσωμαι, ἀγάπην δὲ μὴ ἔχω, οὐδὲν ὠφελοῦμαι.]

    Ok, so I can cook...very well, thank you. Decades of home and restaurant quality cooking and finely honed kitchen experience andknow how.

    And my wife, well...she's gotten a LOT better over the last 40 years. And I fully admit to all I cannot make chocolate chip cookies a s good as her---not in any way.

    But oh....the pricess when she gets in the kitchen...I have to walk away!

    Cream butter and shortening together until fluffy....nope (not even at room temperature!) Add eggs, one at a time...nope. Lightly fill measure with flour and level off...nope.

    Clean as you go??? NOPE!

    But they always come out just the way yuou would want them to...soft misshapen, but generally the right size and extremely addictive.

    So, I dutifully go behind and clean up the floofs of flour and shlooshy drips of eggs and clean off ALL the leftover dough from the mixer paddle...and enjoy the cookies.

  18. Just had an interesting (but a bit unsettling) conversation with #AI about what it thought its future abilities would be. It’s a long response but worth the read.

    My question: What new #emergent #abilities will occur when #parameter #numbers can be increased by orders of #magnitude?

    AI’s response: This is a fascinating and actively researched question in AI! As language models like GPT grow in parameter count by orders of magnitude (e.g., from billions to tens or hundreds of trillions),

Business-wise, I know what I bring to every casting is what award-winning writers and directors seek — and what top-of-the-line agents want to represent. Career-wise, I know the types of projects for which I’m best suited.

    One day, perhaps soon, the break I seek will find me and all this effort will be worth it. 💪🏻

    I totally agree with tante that #gamification is manipulative, paternalistic shit

    And yes, learning can be made easier and can be a lot of fun

    But gamification is not good teaching, it is manipulation

    Including fun into learning can be reached by good teaching

  34. A quotation from Victor Hugo

    It was a characteristic of Jean Valjean that he might have been said to carry two bags: in one he kept his saintly thoughts, in the other the formidable talents of a convict. He dug into one or the other, depending on circumstances.
     
    [Jean Valjean avait cela de particulier qu’on pouvait dire qu’il portait deux besaces; dans l’une il avait les pensées d’un saint, dans l’autre les redoutables talents d’un forçat. Il fouillait dans l’une ou dans l’autre, selon l’occasion.]
