A restart, of sorts

Tumblr, it's been a while. Hello.

I made a domain and redirected it here, to use as a bluesky handle. (hubbit.blog if you're curious.) It might be time to return to my long-dormant Tumblr. That being said, I have a few caveats.

First, the past eight or nine years have sapped my strength to the point where I'm not sure I can compose lengthy coherent thoughts. Correlation, I'm much more circumspect with political expression in general.

Second, I'm much more circumspect in general. I've gone through and removed selfies and such; I'm not interested in AI harvesting, or for that matter biometrics harvesting. Such a world in which we live now!

Third, I did go through and delete a good many older posts. Most of them were links to posts on the LiveJournal that I deleted probably close to a decade ago, after it was bought by a Russian firm who then moved the databases there as well. Others were embeds from now-defunct sites such as Twitpic. Remember Twitpic? If you do, you may as well get that colonoscopy scheduled. And still more were temporal items like missing person reports, mutual aid requests, etc, from many years ago (I've been on Tumblr since 2009!) that were no longer current. And I removed links to my now-deactivated Instagram and Facebook. (Which I deactivated quite a while ago, over similar AI and data harvesting concerns.)

I'm not sure how *present* I'll be, as in posting and such, but I hope to be reading and interacting more.

Alas, a small family emergency took me away from incoming boopage, and now that I’m back I can’t return many of the boops because they’ve been deactivated. Debooped! Fie.

You can't cut soft cheese in thin slices or wedges because it just gets squished, but you can with hard cheese, cause the protein holds it together. Casein point:

The neural network has weird ideas about what humans like to eat

So I’ve been training this neural network to generate cookbook recipes by letting it look at tens of thousands of existing recipes.

The generated titles can get a bit odd.

There’s a creativity variable I can set when the network is generating new recipes, and when I set it low, it comes up with its best guess at the most quintessential recipe titles:

Cream Cheese Soup Cream Of Sour Cream Cheese Soup Chocolate Cake (Chocolate Cake) Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake Chocolate Chicken Chicken Cake Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate Cake Chocolate Chips Chocolate Chips With Chocolate Chips

When I tell it to get creative, things get even weirder.

Hi, Tumblr

I may actually decide to start posting again. Been a while.  But for now? Rosh Hashanah starts in about 18 hours. AAAAAAAAA.

This is so true it’s not even funny.

Ryer and I do EXACTLY the same thing when someone wakes us up.

You’re allowed to be sad, but please don’t think that nobody loves you.
