  1. Got a small #DIY roofing project going.

    Went to two steel suppliers websites.
    (They're both shut today.)

    The Products List pdfs are gone.
    Replaced by #AIGenerated fairyfloss about each product category.

    LOL.

    Trumpists are flooding the political zone with shit while AI is flooding the world-wide-web with shit.

  2. Hold on, so we *like* the giant flying venomous joro spiders because they *might* prey on the spotted lantern flies?

    Cool, cool, cool.

  3. Creative, but how does one make sure (and validate) that the "goodfakes" being generated aren't themselves the product of a biased dataset and (more importantly) algorithm? We're clearly seeing bias at play all over the #GenerativeAI landscape. #TurtlesAllTheWayDown #IDV #Biometric #AlgorithmicBias

  4. What's the current state of play with regards to docker-in-docker?

    Most of our Dev works happens via a variety of images within Jupyterhub on our k8s cluster, but a gap is enabling development of Dockerised apps. I'm thinking of a minimalist jupyterlab deployment with buildkit installed?

  5. For #WorldTurtleDay I’m sharing my ‘Turtles all the way down’ #linocut. Made for an exhibition about #cosmology I also took the opportunity to highlight the #biodiversity of #turtles. This hint of an infinite stack includes from the top down: …

  7. @Science

    Philosopher: "For all your science your beleifs are no better than a flat disc on the back of elephants resting on a turtle's back"

    Astronomer: "Even without science that makes no sense, what is the turtle resting on top of!"

    Philosopher: "Another turtle, its turtles all the way down!"

    Astronomer: "See, that is just absurd, how could anyone believe that!"

    Philosopher: "What does your science say keeps the earth and the moon fixed to each other?"

    Astronomer: "Gravity, the moon orbits around the earth, or rather, the center of mass between the earth and the moon, its just an orbit"

    Philosopher: "Then what does your earth orbit?"

    Astronomer: "The center of the solar system."

    Philosopher: "And the solar system?"

    Astronomer: "The center of the galaxy!"

    Philosopher: "And where does it end, what is at the end of this logic"

    Astronomer with a defeated look on his face: "Its orbits, just orbits... It.. is... orbits, all the way down."
