MILES DAVIS - Kind Of Blue - 1959 Jazz Album

Someone online said Miles Davis's Kind of Blue album, released in 1959, when I was 4 years old, was excellent and totally current sounding. so I figure I'd give it a listen. My dad probably had this album, he was into both jazz and classical music, and played guitar and piano, and he loved stereo equipment, so I've probably heard this album multiple times but it was when I was too young to remember. It's maybe not music for most 4 to 10 year old's tastes. Not happy simple dance music. 

AI Porn Or Erotica Writing YouTube Playlist

This is a quickly made playlist of videos titled "AI Porn Or Erotica Writing" mostly related to using AI apps for porn or erotica writing. 

I don't know if any paid for general-purpose AI writing aid or story generator apps or sites will let you write hard-core porn or stories that aren't necessarily porn but which are or are thought to be illegal or stories that violate social mores that a presented in public as if they are near universal. 

To get truly uncensored writing you might need to use uncensored language models running locally. I succeeded at that using mulitple "run LLMs locally" apps, the first being GPT4ALL, and latest being LMSTUDIO. I liked LMSTUDIO best. These apps and the LLMs use huge amounts of space so uninstall unused apps and LLMs and double-check manually if drive space is a problem.

 Towards Dog Bark Decoding: Leveraging Human Speech

Processing for Automated Bark Classification\

by Artem Abzaliev, Humberto Pérez Espinosa, and Rada Mihalcea1

Similar to humans, animals make extensive use of verbal and non-verbal forms of communication, including a large range of audio signals. In this paper, we address dog vocalizations and explore the use of self-supervised speech representation models pre-trained on human speech to address dog bark classification tasks that find parallels in human-centered tasks in speech recognition. We specifically address four tasks: dog recognition, breed identification, gender classification, and context grounding. We show that using speech embedding representations significantly improves over simpler classification baselines. Further, we also find that models pre-trained on large human speech acoustics can provide additional performance boosts on several tasks.

Do raised toilet seats make it harder to poop?

 I am surprised and find it hard to believe that raised toilet seats increase constipation or make it harder to poop.

I have found through undesired research that not bending all the way down, as if you have a raised seat, makes it much easier to complete emptying the colon. I found multiple sources that contradict apparent first hand evidence. It not implausible to me that the standard American toilet seat height is near the worst possible height and the Squatty Potty makes it easier and the opposite, a raised seat, also makes it easier than the standard American toilet seat height. It's conceivable my subjective kinesthetic sense is inaccurate as to the angles involved. The sensing is being done in a time of high stress. Do you believe that extra high toilet seats, perhaps tilted so they're higher in the back than the front, would or do make it harder to go?

Still Trying To Escape From Twitter X Addiction

Hello group. My name is Chuck Baggett, and I'm here at the Twitter-Or-X-aholics Anonymous to say that I am a hopeless Twitter addict. 

I had a probably hair-brained idea on how to deal with both Twitter addiction and Excessive Tabs And Sites Attention Disorder, ETASAD, a new pseudo-disorder I just made up.

My idea: instead of my browser restoring the previous session, and keeping a million tabs open, I have it open a list of sites that have good things to read or tools like all the AI LLM chatbots and image generators, my Blogger blog, Gmail, Google Docs, etc., about 50 sites.

Whatever the final number of sites is, I will use a browser extension to keep me from being able to open more tabs when I hit a limit and the limit will number of tabs I've picked for the browser to open with. 

If I need to open another tab I can use another profile in my usual browser.

I have both Bluesky and Mastodon accounts. 

It could have a page for X but only if it only let me post stuff and not see a timeline, or only see the timeline for about ten accounts at most, accounts that have interacted with me a bit. No news, no space fans, and so on.  No infinite scroll.

Maybe I shouldn't be trying to find a better microblogging site.

It's a lot easier to say "I'm going to kick the habit because I need to so much!" than it is to actually kick the habit. 

If you're not kicking the bad habit, the bad habit's kicking you.
