@Aleums one of my fav things about neural nets working with cat pictures is that so much of the source imagery it learns from has IMPACT TEXT on it. so it learns that cats look like that, that it's a part of a cat.

a guy who comes into where I work every morning for his daily mail found out my manager likes motorbikes so he brought in a print-out of the harley-davidson wikipedia article

"Robot Carnival" is a collection of shorts, & "Starlight Angel" is the title of one of those.
I have something like 700 anime LDs, mostly from the 1985―95 time period. I don't just sit on them, either. I do viewings at conventions et cetera. In fact I expect to be running one this Saturday.

#relationship goals

if I were to point out a fundamental paradigm shift of user behavior in terms of interaction with an interface, due to the advent of the corporate web, I'd say that the user was reconfigured as a scroller, and therefore as passive consumer because the interaction is purely mechanical and only accidentally performed manually.

Evolution of computer terminology and names I've witnessed since the 80's:

"install.exe" (DOS era) -> "setup.exe" (Windows era)

"Program" (DOS era) -> "Application" (Windows 3.x era and above) -> "App" (Mobile)
Not a fan of the last one.

"Player" -> "Gamer"
Not a fan of this one either.

"Monitor" / "Screen" -> "Display"
Not sure when that change happened but I think it started around the mid 00's.

"Doom clone" -> "FPS"
Yeah, that happened.

"Weblog" -> "Blog"
All thanks to Blogger.com.

'Smilies" -> "Emoji"
I suspect 'Emoji' caught on because it was a (now generic) brand name.

@covered-in-pillows "so which one of you is the fiancòwó and which one is the fiancúwù?"

I’m gonna go ahead and assume the gender neutral version of fiancée/fiancé is fiancèeé
