Dear lazyweb: what kind of electrical plugs would a house built in japan in 1939 have, assuming it was built out in the sticks? Would newly-built houses in the country generally be electrified at that time?

Never mistake your inability to richly imagine the outgroup for an actual general consensus among them. No matter how wrong they might be about the things they agree on, they define themselves by their minor internal schisms.

Bad idea of the day: Do a free machine-generated text class at a library (using tracery or something), self-publish the course materials as a book (with proceeds going to the library as donations), & get a couple copies for the stacks.

It looks like OpenAI has announced their marginal progress on the coherence problem in narrative prose generation in the most clickbaity possible way again: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-47249163 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/feb/14/elon-musk-backed-ai-writes-convincing-news-fiction

@71m@timmorgan.org: why web when it is local? I use sxiv for local browsing and llgal to generate a static gallery from a directory: https://github.com/bgoglin/llgal.

You’d think that somebody writing for NME would know that ‘Daddy’s Car’ isn’t the first AI-written song. (Even if the earliest example they can think of is from Songsmith & they don’t recognize that Bach was doing generative music.)

@kas@enotty.dk the only thing I can think is that people are finally re-figuring out that static sites are really fast because the content doesn’t need to generated on the fly. I noticed there were a lot of static content generators out there.
