    Story (1890-02), “The Sign of the Four,” ch. 1 [Holmes], Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine, Vol. 45 (US) / 1 (UK)

  5. Ah, the joys of consulting the omniscient #LLMs for the sacred knowledge of router release dates 📚. Turns out these mega-brains are really just glorified Magic 8 Balls 🤖🔮. Who knew you'd need an advanced degree in "guesswork" to interpret AI 🤦‍♂️?

  6. Oh, look! 🤔 Another tech savant who "built" a magic AI tool in four days without even knowing the languages. 🎩✨ Surprise! It doesn’t work quite the same way twice, because—plot twist—it's powered by the mystical forces of 🤷‍♂️ #guesswork and blind luck.

  7. [New post] How do you stop swarms from absconding, and why do they abscond? Could it be 'residual' scout bee activity, and how could this be tested?

  8. Time for another unreliable amateur prediction of the latest eruption in #iceland

    There was very little seismic warning before this eruption, so it's possible there is now an open, low-resistance route from the magma reservoir under Svartsengi to the craters.

    Since that magma chamber has been filling at a constant rate for months, unless something happens to block the route, we could see lava coming out at that same constant rate for much longer than the other recent eruptions.
