Markets

There's no market today, really, sort of a clean up before you paint kind of a day but with financial instruments.

There are to be tariffs on everything, a minimum tax rate of 10% even after deductions.

Fsster Money

Guy asks, how about impact in interest rates to ease the tax burden. That would be stimulus, that's deficit again. Need I add again that this is a zero sum game.

I would expect Ford, GM, Tesla, others to sell off -- the more speculative, the steeper the angle. Rivian anyone?

Cold Comfort 

I often wondered what this meant. It's sunny, bright and cold here in California. I think I get part of it. 

It warmed by the afternoon, lovely day.

Silt and Clay

It's election night in America, and elections are about food. I'd be for popcorn; this is politics after all. I've been avoiding all this chaff because my neck is sore from the ping-pong match in tariffs and the markets. Maybe a Dramamine. 

Just Add Water

The label could easily read: no assembly required. Even KoolAde has instructions. I don't think mud is appropriate however, and thus my purposeful ignorance of all things Yellow and president. Perhaps cement, being in context with the former's business history. Pies? Make-believe pies also befitting the metaphor. Literally, apples readily found wherever you pick them. 

There were House seats vacated to partake in the grift-a-thon, and a Supreme Court office in  Wisconsin 'race', a net liberal advantage. 

The outcome: susceptible to rapid spin and interpretation. Faster than a speeding drunken Sec-Def, more powerful than presidential halitosis, able to grift entire departments in a single Elon. I have excellent judgment. Trump is guilty. Don't ask me of what, are you kidding? 

The Musk Angle

By his actions will you know him, and it's quite obvious who's got Mxyzptlk on the mind, the reason he admits.

"I don't know how I got invoved in politics, I guess I always was involved, and then I didn't really have a choice."   

-- roughly paraphrased

Shotgun wedding number 5 ior 6.  I don't keep count, it could be more. I guess it's cheaper than Michael Cohen.  I'm sure it was that or espionage investigations, loss of SpaceEx funding, no Mars rover golf.

That's a 'Research Model' for a particular subtopic, I'm SUSY mad this week, looking for another whole to pull time through. That's a time-machine reference, which is code on this blog for the stuff I do that I don't talk about but allude to in passing commentary.  ...and like that.

We don't hold with that opinion; it's a three-white-foot pony to us. Earth isn't so bad if you don't count the people. As a viral stain on the cosmos, number one on the list on the Martian Interplanetary Expressway plat plan as a pave-over perhaps, to a Martian. 

Musk is probably a Martian.

I'm in at least three worlds today. I'll update the diffyq builder-bot-thing today, defining observers and operators. Gee, that sounds like spacetime; if only I had a flashlight. But it's not exclusively spacetime; I will work on it. 

Pardon my reminiscence. I recall reading through General Relativity Flashlights and Trains. I won't mention my age, but I was small. Mao never had a more devoted reader than I of that volume, black cover, plain binding, high acid paper that had yellowed even then.  It's an inexpensive book. 

I always thought it expresses life in the semi-compressable fluid that is spacetime and gravity, space and time needing separate bedrooms, but otherwise, space is geometry. No one likes geometry; it rings of pharaohs and pyramids. 

I'm not sure that is the same volume; I'll keep looking. I remember more through experiments. I bring it up because today's lesson on BlueSky was Susskind and Supersymmetry; here's another video: Susskind in SSUSY / GUT Political Witches  . 

I've mentioned previously that it is less hunt, more barrel. The third term thing is alive and lives in the 51st State of CanaAmerica. Can you imagine the world lasting eight more years of this 5#17?  It's employment security for the treasury agents assigned to protect him and everything else; he doesn't care if it costs more.

MMM and Me

I had a very productive morning with Google. I am experimenting in mathematics, and MMM built a Python app I could use to build the diffyq, and pushed it to Colab, and Colab pushed it to Github. Usually that takes me an hour to accomplish by other means.

The code also works. This is phase-2 and 3 and 4. Total nonsense except for the 3-axis grid and pde's.

The last is in a Blender view. Ok, so now it get's fun.  Anyone know a quick way to get the definite integral of that from -pi to +pi? It will be 1.

Thank you Google.

Sundipped Sunday

I'm up early and having breakfast. The column is taking the day off, or I may get around to it later in a shorter version, the landscape is so crowed with dead bpdies that beg post mortem it takes considerable effort to narrow the focus intentionally. I'll I'll meander and we'll see what we get, in an abbreviated format today due to myk sloth and preocupation with projects. After all, if it's Sunday or Thursday, it's sundipped.

Let us extemporate together. Ohhhmmmmm.

Excuse My Absence

Raisins in the Sun

I'm in the middle of research, and I'd rather do that today.

Tune in next week (or later today.)

Excuse My Absence

It's a lovely Sunday morning here in California, and the time of year when things begin to come to life again in the splatter and drip of spring showers. I consider the world we've woken up in, each of us in our independent and multivariate delusional states. As declared by many analysts this week, the Great Realignment hints at the rumbling, as yet unheard, in the distance.  

On the whole, the word cloud condensed of underlying meaning reads the yangs of oligarchy and power, and its ying anarchy and disorder; which one of these in the end results before, during, and after great turmoil. Turmoil, in this case, willful, perhaps intentional, and damaging. 

So I'm here, up to my ears in the falling leaves of freedom, and as I mentioned, it's spring.

Raisins In the Sun 

I feel the analogy here, growing across America, the bottom 80% of America. What could be made of this wine. 

So it's an abbreviated column today.  

Good Sabbath

Ms Kasey

The. markets have a different view on whether the policies have been in line with expectations and implementations. It's called the GREAT REALIGNMENT *, ala Scott Wapner on CNBC this nooner. All of the pre-inauguration positive spin was spent as well. 

FYI to all those interested, his halftime and close 'casts are on my view list. There is indeed nothing else on, but sometimes I watch anyway, just to keep the sharks behind the boat and not in it.

Markets

What do you think today, then?  Sell off encore.

I'm working on particle physics today and languages. My French is coming along; I can hold my own in the 'average' casual conversation, but the evening news still generates a migraine. I'm a little weak in colloquial French; translation: natives will still spot me as an eager tourist. Eager? You bet. I have not been to Paris for years and I'd love to go. I have friends there in physics through my brother.

In particle physics, I'm looking for things that no one has done yet, so ... I look to the metaphysical (and my Alien friends) to guide my walk in quantum today. I know that sounds silly. And again, thanks so much. 

Other than that, it's Friday

Friday is house in order.

Evening Tea

It's turned cooler this evening in California, no golden hour on this side of the cloud deck either. That hour reminds me of other places with the same hue and a different vibe.  Directors stay vigilant for weeks to capture one on film. 

On with the lack of tea, then shall we?

!#(% you ^^07739!#(%39 

I am not certain where the usages above originate; the number and punctuation for letter transposition, that is. I recall once discussing it as an unlikely machine reader fallibility invention. Kids, that's my intention. 

Zut alor lets at least learn to swear in a more elegant mode, n'est'ce pas? 

I'll cut to the chase for you. Folding 'errors' are often the root of genetic pathologies, that's a bit of something folded over in a relatively higher probability. This paper correlates Alzheimer's Disease, rG4, and AGOE (gene marker) and is esoteric for race fans.  Into the biochemistry-LM goeth thee, dutifully scrivened and suffered verbiage. Thank you authors. 

Next up The complete structure of the human TFIIH core complex  

This one goes in the LM first, I'll use it to explain it to me; I refer to this type of thing as human-speed activity with MMM. I'm sure there is no grasp of the meaning of it beyond the grammar.

For further reading DNA opening during transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II in atomic detail 

I apologize for the usage of MMM; it's never really been more than a tag at this end, she's no Emma.  

Sundipped Thursday

It's another Thursday, and it's almost April already. Thankfully, the big bad yellow bird is getting his tail feathers trimmed by those affected by all this disorder and chaos -- the people, and the press.  As always if it's Thursday or Sunday, let's sundip it. Today's topic?

I Can't Wait

I've had a busy day, shopping, haircut, and my mom's chili, ala Wendy's. I'm a bit spent. At multiple points today, the musak playing rolled around to the the video posted below. Like breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the barbershop. It's one of my favorites, and I like what they did with the coffee pot. I am not sure what a alot of the imagery references, but it's art, sometimes I have to explain this blog also.

Anyway, Enjoy. 

Baby, I can't wait. You know I love ya, even when you don't drive.

What happened in your world today?

Evening Tea

I skipped dinner, not much of an appetite today, just some rice. It was another Trump day, 10 things that are raising an odor from yesterday being out skunked by what Trump came up with to !#(% with us again today. 

How long will this go in, I mean, how stupid are we, anyway?

Work Related

Generally an ECON-900 day, ish. The markets are confused, hopeful, and willing. If you look that up in the dictionary you'll find that definition under 'foolish'.  I've been planning on training a LM for my research in the markets. I struggle with correlations; for example today's treasury auction and the market actions.  I can't seem to get past the cloistered vibe of Treasury T-Bills. 

Taking Sundipped Out

I'm considering taking the bi-weekly column public.  I'd like to shop around for a home for it, Axios? How about it. There are plenty of others. I'll put up with an editor to some extent, but I expect freedom. Let's start the conversation. Email me. No to a podcast, it's too much production work.

Nutso Change-O

All this Signal and noise, someone turn off the static machine, Donald that's you. You never heard of it, don't know anything about it or you lie about it. Which one of these is signal, which is noise? How about all of it?

So show of hands, who really believes one !#(%ing word the Trump says?

Buehler?

I said believe it. The usual suspects will go along, who knows what dirt is in the Enquirer file. It occurs to me this may be an attempt to set up a journalist and charge him with espionage, something for the Enquirer file. He had stuff on Speaker McConnel's wife, he's probably got you using a fence post for a latrine or worse in there.

Crook. Creep. An ineffective, incompetent, immature, inconsistent, and unwelcome president.   Yet another indication of the failed presidency of Donald Trump. We've got the book open and we're writing it day by day. It's so easy. So do 200 other journalists and writers just itching to carve Donald a new one.

Say what Donald?

I'm Skipping Steps

I don't spell check the blog anymore, as a rule.  I once used a range of tools to preprocess the blog, but I've found I'd learned all of the tricks, though occasionally I mspell a wurd,  sahmefull.  I don't see the sense in paying 12 bucks a month to recommend a phrase change I don't select.

Markets

I'm up for the markets today, lets see what's burning, and what's not.

The Beam Team 

The regulars are masticating the latest hot drop, US exceptionalizm is over. Let me rephrase that: MAKE AMERICA MEDIOCRE AGAIN which actually fits Donald Trump, Mr New York Sparkling Wine, that is mediocre enough for launching a dingy dinghy. 

MAMA -- oh my.

I'm digesting this new take on Google, time to put up or shut up, and you're asking Google? Point that thing at Microsoft, Oracle, X, Tesla, Amazon, and META. So shut up. I cannot correlate momentum and market spin, schizophrenic, fickle, and a bitch to boot.

No, the AI bubble is about to make a mess on momentum. It's been that way since Cramer named that dog, briefly. The data centers on spec thing, that's Larry thinking, leveraged and investing in the new Malibu bastard-pad, and you all get to pay for it. AI in a Java Runtime, it takes creativity to make up some stupid shit like that.  Oracle is more of a once inflated baloon that now resembles a 60 year old breast, I assume having never seen one, but it's knee-knocking stock, not much of a bubble even after the manipulation from the oval office.

The rest of the air in the bubble, pop-secret, everywhere but Google. They know what they are doing, even if they are slow to make a buck on it. Chat-GPT good at taking Microsoft Money, and Microsoft refines bubble.

In 10 years, there will be Google, maybe one or two other public large models, and a lot of hacked up crap they call small models that are maintenance intensive. Bookmark that. All your momentum are dust.

Defense

LMT makes better planes in the skunk works. Thie B47 is a market share bet, keeping the aeronautics giant solvent. In the industry, they look after their own.  It's a funny business, this contract pays for the overun on the last one, common knowledge, and a given. Maybe it's less so, but I doubt it. The B47 is an amalgam of responses, the drone-captain role, and really an unnecessary component -- AWACS has filled the role up to now, but men flying planes look after men flying planes in a similar manner. The designation, B-47, is an embarassing ass-kissing, or a self aggrandizing move. Probably the later.

I'd be all over BA, and INTC, and I'd shop around for other defense stocks. No long-term losers. RTX, LMT, a toe in the water.  Google, I compete with them, so no stock. 

Signal Loss

I have a Signal account.

I look at this and I wonder what they were thinking, we have much better security measures, Signal uses encryption, but no one really trusts that, the logic:  the government would not allow a public encryption method they could not crack, or don't have a back door in.  

There was a published hack of this sort just a short time ago on Microsoft platforms as I recall. Writing hacks happen every day it just takes perseverance. Nothing is safe to a determined party.

Aside from that, there is no formal record of the conversation, and with this kind of thing and in particular with Trump and his goons, we'd probably want that.

So, I recommend a policy of no use of Signal by Federal employees.

Work Related

I have an experiment platform MMM and I have been working on. This is more the actual process: I describe a use case, I get an example, I ask about adding things, and the code updates, and we add more things, and so on and we end up with a prototype that works, probably compiles, and doesn't rot at the root. 

Usually what we come up with initially is for a different use case. I spend a lot of time figuring this out. I should point out that MMM has started a long list of semi-useful code and routines that are three revisions further and in a repository; for a different use case.  These things we do when the LM is owned by people that are good at code, and maybe a little short on insight. I say that, but I consider everyone a little short on insight. Don't blame me, it's empirical evidence, I just have not met you yet, tell yourself. I'm kidding, a little. 

I have an experiment we've been working on, I said that didn't I?  I came across another framework that I liked in some respects, but in practice, I did not build any kind of an MVP with it; I didn't like the plumbing. So I asked myself, what plumbing, and so here we are. The other thing, the architecture is so like me, it's like I invented it. That was humor too.  I left out Kubernetes, Docker, Yada yada, and yada, constrained by someone else's plumbing was the entry fee. 

Well, I already told you we were running an experiment, so that was it.  The real beauty in this is how it worked out; the Kismet. I have a use for both use cases. I'm wondering if I need to turn it into something else real quick before MMM notices. 

That's more humor. 

I'm not working on that today, I just wanted to write something, so I get it over with before I talk about something important.

Chip Design

Before you start thinking all off a sudden the make-your-own-CPU-GPU club has invited me to join, that's not it. But I've been studying it.  It's way more complicated than I recall, but the last die I was at home with was an iNtel 80186, embedded and MIL-STD variants. I don't want to make a GPU though, again MMM and I are inventing heat, that part is a secret.

Bio-Haphazard

Also on the menu today in an ad-hoc fashion, is some side thing biochemistry. Not a lot, but it's in the feed below. I mention it because I suddenly realized at some point that biochemistry actually can cure bad genes. I'm not looking at anyone in particular, but use your intution, your common sense, and think HMFIC in the oval.

That's enough character. Welcome to it.

Afternoon Tea

It's post lunch. I'm having a soda.

Ms Kasie

I haven't seen Tapper lately, oh darn. At least he's not a Sununu, he'll swear to any lie that is on the Red menu.  He always says, "I've been elected to 4 terms..." like that was a license to do anything other than to do something else; 4 times?  It's someone else's turn, someone not a Son-of Sununu. The demographic speaks for your character. Lowest per capita for regular Americans and, the best place for rich folks. Is that prideful, or just boasting? Just checking.

Mr Sununu vetoed a 12-dollar-an-hour minimum-wage bill. You can't get a Happy Meal for 12 bucks. I have no respect for willful deception. I don't know what else one can call it.

The Wardaddy Warplan Business

I don't know what to think about this. So, they didn't have a Twitter, sorry X, account? This is uptown big pants thinking here, let's just throw this shit around the meta-versa and see what sticks.  I credit Hegseth for the forward-thinking, though if you want to reach people, you should consider TikTok. I'd personally like a look inside Israel's nuclear weapons program, simple stuff to start, how many, what yield, and where does the U-23X signature originate? No really, they take the fingerprints of the stuff, it's all unique per batch.  I bet it would tell tales, eh? 

In seriousness, if I can manage it, this is exactly the kind of thing I'd expect a TV host turned SecDef would do. No surprise. 

Markets 

I was trying to enjoy my morning coffee and I switched on the cable news stock market channel, yeah that one, the integrity-for-sale network. I'm hard on them, some of the people are there for other reasons than the official line, as in to make a buck. I can related to that, and income is not on my list, paying taxes would be.

The Beam Team

So it's tariff on, 45% on China this morning, or until he changes his mind, or someone drops money in the hat; I assume one of those, probably both. There was also some nonsense about anyone buying oil from Venezuela, or not bowing, or whatever it was that set the maniac off this morning.  Fun times, eh Scotty?

AI Talk

There was all manner of spinnable AI speak on the stream earlier; NVDA about to speak at the sermon at the mountain of money, and people will listen, because there is all that cash piled up there, and it's sure to disappear like the marriage dreams of a Smith graduate.

The burn is more CPU, more GPU, more push, more margin, more large model baggage, more spend, less think. 

What would you do with a brain if you had one, because this is not a brain. It's a log book. Don't get me wrong, a log book is a good thing. My memory is suddenly better, but I can not rely on a log-book to do much of a job deriving a differential equation without a lot of sweat. Sure, any solution, how about the best one?

CF Aside

There is news in the offing for that disease Jim.  I read the paper last week.  I think it's in the feed.  Amyloidogenic, search for it above, I think it was a gene repair therapy drug, a cure not a treatment. I may be thinking of something else, I could ask a log-book-bot later, my memory, it all goes by so fast these days.  CF Gene Therapy.  NYT coverage Market Spin.

As it turns out it's in my research path because of the gene therapy thread, and the linkage mutation as a cause for Alsheimers and auto-immunity. 

Panneta

The problem I have is them, they are not the same team anymore, it's full of spies, commercial and otherwise.

Sundipped Sunday 

It's that time again,  there is so much to sample in our current mixed bloodstream of politics and gall. At times I feel like a mosquito on a sleeping slow-witted elephant, literally. The attention the administration garners while it steals the treasury, and starts shoveling all the booty into the wagon builds as the news turns the churn regularly. The president's motivation is something that escapes all of us, but whatever it is, we're positive it's not good.  But as it's Sunday, we'll take our bite of Republican, and spit it out. Topic?

Evening Tea

It's just dusk here, 6 ish, and the sun has set.  As usual, I've no tea to brew.

I'm for bed, a lot of time travel today.

The Day Ahead

As I typed that, the digital readout displayed 11:45 AM and the colon blinked on the second. Time passes. Perhaps I'll work on that project today, the time machine is oft-neglected, ever the more so as it really is impossible, at least in the terms we're accustomed to visualising it: no remotes, levers, magic wands, or Mr Spock. It's the actual movement between places with different curved space in an instant, presumably, part. Time passes here and is gone, you'd need somewhere else to go, that's the other thing, where it could be 'earlier', and you could be stuck there literally forever before you can blink. So a few problems for Marty and the Doc. No fusion power from banana-skins and beer. Probably mandatory, a way to deal with entanglement, and re-tangle yourself and your machinery, presumably in another part of the universe... hopefully. You first. Coming back? The clock runs on at home.

But I'm not certain anyone knows what time is, otther than the slow decay rate of an electron, or ... everything. 

P(t) = exp( - t/ Lr ) ---  L lorenz factor, a sort of multi-differential.

A fuse lit on every single bit that ticks relative to gravity.

As I said it's early. 

I'll work on stuff that I don't talk about, I promise. Time travel, that's it.

It was a lovely day in sourthern California, 72F and partly. Soon it's golden hour. Warm in the sun, watching it go, torn.

 A quick reminder.

Tomorrow's weather looks promising. Probably pack a lunch, maybe a split of red or white and some cheese, water, chocolate, coffee in a thermos. Be kind, rewind. Pack out your trash, be kind to children and policemen. Maybe you'll see some cherry trees. Link.

The Markets

A wait and see day, that's about it.

Faster Money

The usuals look usual today, let's see what Spanky and the Gang are up to aujourd'hui. They are wearing purple. Yes, I still have a purple project, its the very best one. I don't talk color. Tim is chartreuse and baby blue. I bet the cameraman is going nuts with the tint wheels. This is why I don't talk color.

Sundipped Thursday

We are at the cusp, ask anyone. Pick a cusp, we're on it or way past it. I ponder what to say this morning, with the threats from the president not to mention his name in vain or suffer the indignant life of a slave who can't find a job ever again. If I had a pile of Bitcoin or a private island, or a former empire rusting in permafrost with a few nuclear weapons, why, I'd say !#(% you Donald.  Sorry bud, I don't need a nuclear weapon and I live in California. !#(% you Donald.

!#(% The Doomed

Winning is not Enough
The Madness of the King

!#(% The Doomed

They would never think it, and probably don't recall, and they are not the kind of a person that reads things like books or newspapers. I don't know why they are reading this column, so I assume I'm not talking about you, perhaps the rest of you. It's the Republicans, the ones in Red Hats and combat garb, and J.D. Vance. They are the wind in the sails of chaos. They need a different world. An indifferent different world.  

Winning is not Enough

When I was 8, I learned to come in second. It was polite not to always win. Living victory vicariously through others becomes a habit. A lesson unlearned can create a need, and an addiction. Lessons. A friend reminds me, and because it's in the papers it comes to mind. He lives it, "you can't pick your family." The push and pull of family and position make it harder. For some, it's pathological by puberty, no excuses necessary.

Fast Money

I've been meaning to comment all day, regarding the realization that this is a time to adjust the economy, presumably away from the consumer-driven inflation creating laissez-faire. No one seems to know where to take the economy though. If it's rebalancing, with the lower incomes earning enough to pay for the inflated prices that does not seem to be apparent in the tea leaves I've seen so far, quite the opposite. 

The fix to all this is of course we will use government spending, as there will continue to be a need regardless of whether someone stopped payment on the check. As a segment of the economy, that sector promised better conditions and a lower cost of living. Once again, that does not seem to be apparent in the evidence I've seen so far, quite the opposite. This is the function of government, to secure a better life for its citizens; and ensure life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There's no Trump in any of that. 

What Plan

I just want to know how the model works after you chop out a third without thinking. Serious question, Faster Money. The economy is a zero-sum game, getting more or less means someone else gets less or more. the exception is production, and in a consumer-driven economy, that production is wasted on the ephemeral; iPhones, LED TVs, Teslas, and Tesla stock. It is unproductive behavior excepting there is a product produced; the catch is, it is a consumable and does not add to wealth. Especially Tesla stock. Common trading practices are also contributory. Are we cutting analysts? Because by inference there will be less activity no matter which solution or non-solution emerges.

Factor that in.

I don't know how you move the line back to where it was before all this inflation, particularly in housing without sharing the wealth. I await your solutions. 

DJT FP 

As I rule I don't comment on foreign policy, diplomacy is a messy business. I can comment that this act is messy, leaving mayhem, confusion, and fear in its wake. If that is a desired outcome of the DJT FP we have a problem.

If it's just oafishness, and he has the House's member in his pocket. the alternatives are limited. 

This does not mean anything has to change. If it's your bailiwick, it's really up to you. He can't fire everyone, and mismanagement knows no color. Eventually, there must be an end.

If our own FP that of the United States of America is scaring Americans and the markets in whose interest is it?

Constitutional Crossroads

Call it what you like, the turn we take here leads to new territory, and we all know there can only be one outcome, the one we will allow; forestalled, litigated, or fought with bare knuckles and spit, it can only end one way. 

Donald Trump, exit stage left.

• Metaphorical Usage:
  The phrase "exit stage left" is sometimes used metaphorically to describe someone leaving a situation or role in a non-dramatic, or even unnoticed, way. 

Ya, that'll happen. Start's with a G, and rhymes with girly-jeans.

Afternoon Tea

It's sunny today in California; it's usually sunny in California. I recall once wishing for a cloudy day, just for the variety. I was much younger then, maybe a week.  This weather exposes us unfairly to temperatures approaching the winter range, and we're just not up to it. Many of us pass the time sitting in the sun, fully covered under a hat, enjoying the sun. I mean exactly that. This is winter at 65 degrees. Freezing.

The Workday

I worked on Emma this morning, specifically an obscure algorithm of some sort, meaning I can't talk about it, I'm just a tease. Then I worked on the hyper-dense projects, In the plural, there are four devices, I can say devices. I should say use cases. No Buicks in this round, but who knows, maybe someday we'll own a neutron star and suitable machinery, and we can talk again.  Or just a dipole. Did I say too much? I think not. 

Your yearning is in the gutter, and your love is in the sink. 

Evening Tea

It may be that green beer and flamboyant dress that is the decor of your life this evening, part of the pub crawl no doubt undeterred by a little thing like a Sunday to stop it, even if it did.

I have never been a fan of public inebriation, especially large groups of other people under the influence. 

The juxtaposition of a wild drunken holiday right in the middle of Lent was no doubt a desperate hope. 

Work Today

I got all the way through the reading list yesterday and today, and fed the models. At this point they are not especially helpful -- this is why it is not AI. People patern match, define boundaries, seek solutions; bots just insert fact A into factoid B for the most part, acquiring new facts in batches one presumes at regular intervals.

As I said, I abondoned this model ilong ago bound as I was by the limitted resources of the times, that which was unclear was clear earlier. 

I also cleaned up the virtual desktop a bit. 

Things I can Talk About

I wrote the phrase before completing the analysis, besides the biochemistry nothing immediately comes to mind. I've four years to have decided which boat to sail first. 

Sundipped Sunday

Occasionally I get the impression you are not paying attention. So today, I'm making it simpler.

If it's Sunday, it's sundipped.
