18.3
tonight at dinner i was bragging to jeff about my lap around the lake on the bicycle earlier in the day; specifically about having achieved an 18.3 mph average. that’s quick for me, especially this early in the season. jeff asked what my best ever was and i didn’t know, so when i got home i looked it up. it turns out that the lap i did today, at 18.3, is the fastest i’ve ever recorded*, early in the season or not.
today is day 34 of my self-imposed “30 minutes of exercise every day, no excuses” policy.
*i’ve got a 19.1 in the logs but it was a shorter distance.

the rise of the machines
Peering into the night air, you see what seems like a flock of giant birds, which resolves into a geometric fleet of stubby-winged drone aircraft. The top of a distant building explodes into flames. At length you realize the drones are firing down on the city. There is a flash, closer this time, and the crescendo whine of incoming. Before your apartment is incinerated, you have time to think: Who is doing this?fascinating and scary article on the coming computer superintelligence: stevenpoole.net 5 months ago • 0 notes

perspective
i once saw a video in which a dash-mounted camera captures a man nodding off while driving. a moment later he awakes, petrified, and then seemingly against his will he floats into the air and flies into the back seat, where he sticks to the ceiling.
that’s what makes introspection so difficult: camera placement.
