[1968]Obscure moody and broody garage psych from another one and done group from MichiganYou gotta love the intense mandolin and misanthropic sentiments delivered with tormented desperation by singer Bob Glese and those mournful dirge-y backing vocals. You could imagine them playing this in a dusty saloon in a scene...
I’m instinctively appalled by news like this, but I’m also wondering, to what extent is the content inside these rare books made effectively useless to humanity, mainly due to the amount of gatekeeping that access to these kinds of materials enjoy.
It’s well known that you can convert the base 16 (hex) representation of an integer to the base 2 (binary) representation by simply converting each digit from hex to binary. For example, CAFEhex = 1100 1010 1111 1110two I imagine it’s less well known that you can do the same thing with floating point numbers. I...
It’s that man again, or some of his progeny, infecting the world with their nightmares. Lovecraft’s Brood is a story collection edited by Ellen Datlow, a kind of follow-up to Lovecraft’s Monsters, although the new book is a more expansive take on the Lovecraftian weird tale.

Sometimes I purposely leave the dirty pots I need for dinner in the sink so that I will wash the dishes before I cook, to ensure that dishes get washed again in...
I was going to write a post about how I started and stuck with an exercise routine, but I have fallen off of it for a few weeks now. I was doing pretty well keeping up with it for about a month or two, and I felt the benefits: feeling stronger, more confident, more energetic. I think I stopped, at least in part,...
Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey has always been an incredible movie, but its value as a cautionary tale has increased exponentially since AI took off. The iconic scene with HAL 9000 refusing to open the pod-bay doors captures the whole alignment question in pulsing-red cinematic poetry.As a great fan of that...
The script about Artificial Intelligence is beginning to feel like a teen slasher movie. Everyone in the audience knows the characters are going to do dumb shit and die. I haven’t seen one of those flicks in awhile, but as I remember even the characters knew they were doing dumb shit. And going to die. Apparently...
