    Why I’m surprised there isn’t an AI yes/no bit in digital artifacts.  I would think the AI companies would want to have everything flagged for training purposes.

    Google’s ai overview says that some platforms put “ai created” tags in the metadata. It doesn’t sound like they all do.

    I use claude a lot to write oracle stored procedures. It’s very helpful crank out queries and updates that have joins between multiple db tables. But it’ll just make up column names with confidence even though I’ve taught it the joins before. It says “you’re right” a lot to me after I’ve pointed out the error. It doesn’t learn and retain the learnings as well as it should.

    It’s so funny hearing a song that’s great and every time, picking up the guitar and finding that it’s the same thing as every other song. He does some quicker changes in there than I was getting and I’m pretty sure the chord I was missing is Am (relative to the capo) but yeah man it’s just g c f d and all those little hammer ons and pull offs 

     

     

    Took me a second to find MJ. This is like Gen Z Breeders.

     

    This is the first time I’ve heard Snocaps. Sans the male vocals, I’m picking up on a  lemonheads / matthew sweet sound. And their tune Avalanche channels the la’s “there she goes”. I dig ‘em.

    My wife and I really wanted to see Kevin Morby open so we were there around 7:45. Morby went on at 8. I think he's doing the Houston show too. He only played for half an hour and was off the stage at 8:30.

    I was let down by Morby. I wanted to hear Dorothy. I grade each band I see. He ranks as a “no” for future shows.

    Lord Huron show was pretty spectacular.

    I enjoyed the show but as I watched it I was thinking “how do I describe this to my wife?” She always asks me about the concerts.

    Two adjectives came to mind: theatrical and pretentious.

    A few songs later, the lead singer calls himself a pretentious asshole. Points for self awareness.

    They put a lot of work into the concept and execution of their show. It is a show.

    Didn't we determine you were a few rows behind my wife and I at the Wilco show (I think it was Wilco) at Toyota some months ago?

    Nope. I wasn’t at that show.

    I can highly recommend Dr.  Bruce Sherrill at Dental Associates of North Dallas.  Best dentist I have ever had.

    Per the googles, Dr Sherrill has retired.

    Got any other recommendations?

    I took a fall when I was 2-3 years old that did damage to my front teeth. 

    I have veneers on my front teeth and a cap on one adjacent tooth from decades ago. One of my veneers chipped off recently. I want to go full in and do a whitening of all my teeth but the cap and veneers present a matching problem. It’s time for a full redo.

    I went to one place, and they quoted $10k. They did 3D imaging, and said I needed a root canal on the tooth beneath my cap. That’s quite possible. That’s do-able but I feel like a second opinion is in order.

    I've never been to a Waffle House, but there is one pretty close by.

    I'm going to go ASAP to see if I can get my score up.  (I'm supposed to get waffle with PEE-cans in it, correct?) 

    That, and maybe a half-hour fishing extravaganza at one of the fine tributaries to White Rock Lake. 


    Definitely go noodling for alligator gar in the trinity

    just be like me and keep moving around a space constantly dancing, waving my arms and hammering drinks... If you can survive the headliner surge, you can keep a decent amount of space. 

    Solid strategy

    Thought this was a pretty interesting podcast about losing touch with red america.

    https://www.dissentmagazine.org/blog/know-your-enemy-how-charles-murray-almost-predicted-the-trump-era/

    The PBS questionnaire in the link is hilarious. It’s a “you might be a redneck” checklist. To be clear, I scored fairly high; I have lived in oklahoma and arkansas.

    A sampling.

    What? No Springer?

    Disappointed there wasn’t one of these.

    brmc at mohawk saturday night. was on the floor and it was far too sweaty for an october night. they played all of howl and 5 or 6 other songs. i saw them at the parish 20 years ago when they originally toured for howl. it's not an album i listen to much, had forgotten how emo it is. it got a bit too whiney for me a couple times, was happy when they got to the rock portion of the show. 

     

    I was there, and it was uncomfortably packed. They needed a venue twice that size. I’m not one to get claustrophobic but that set up was bad.

    I enjoyed the opening band (humanist) a lot. 

  12. The Stews brought it last night. 

    They closed the show with “9-5” and transitioned in and out of “War pigs”.

    They do have an annoying following though. Groups of college kids chattering, getting hammered, and losing all sense of self-awareness.
