@siracusa ShevqeIeIcDHD0d? That's a heck of typo

[miketaffet@mastodon.social]

@siracusa @dianna fingers got a little excited when typing “uploaded” there.

[siracusa@mastodon.social]

Sorry for the…typo? Something? I pre-wrote the earlier toot in BBEdit and then copy/pasted it! I did the same on Bluesky, with minor edits, and there was no weirdness there! (I didn’t edit the part that had weirdness.) Weird…ness.

@siracusa Finally outsourced your writing to AI, huh? Mostly kidding about that, though, it was nice to hear you take a more reasoned stance about blindly trusting the output of LLM’s on the recent ATP.

@siracusa please tell me this document is called toots.txt

@siracusa So glad she is back and doing better!

[leoncowle@hachyderm.io]

@siracusa @dianna Soooooooo excited to see a new 'Physics Girl' video. I mean, for the content, sure, but even more so for seeing her making one! Fantastic news. Thanks for sharing, John.

[siracusa@mastodon.social]

@rawrdimus Untitled <some big number>, of course.

[miketaffet@mastodon.social]

@josephduffy @siracusa thank you for preserving this very important historical event.

[archaica@mastodon.social]

@siracusa @dianna my wife has been suffering from ME/CFS for the past seven years, as well as a constellation of other chronic illnesses. It is no joke.

[console@mastodon.social]

@siracusa Thanks for sharing. It's important that others learn about this.

Soon it will be 4 years since I was diagnosed with ME/CFS. It's hard to describe how extreme this condition is. The hurdles are very individual, but the brutal crashes are identical for most of my fellow sufferers. I don't see a real way out, but it is possible to adapt to a certain extent and live a life. At least for me.

Thank you also for your podcast work, it gives me more stability than you can imagine.

@siracusa @dianna Good to see...there is a trajectory with ME/CFS that is fairly common (although far from universal) where partial recoveries spontaneously occur after a few years. Some people can and do experience remissions too. Hoping for the best for her.

@siracusa @dianna

I am so glad she is well enough to create new content!

@siracusa @dianna apparently Ian Goodfellow as well, of Google/Apple AI/ML fame. Its def a rough disease
