Didn't know the master of looking perplexed, Anderson Cooper was an heir to the Vanderbilt fortune, 5 generations down.  His mother Gloria Vanderbilt was briefly married to Leopold Stokowski.  The enemy of the rich is the rich.

The Vanderbilt fortune only grew for 2 generations.  It was gradually whittled down ever since.  Lions only pondered this after Wolf contained footage of a Vanderbilt mansion.

World class trophy wife.  Helas, 

 


the tomboy outfit came off & the magic was gone.  31 year olds definitely pop after 51.  Lions were decidedly into stocky, butch, tomboy, hotties who could survive without a man.  A lot of men undoubtedly went crazy over the tomboy outfit.   

The tomboy outfit that awakened the horny middle aged male universe.  That's basically the turn on AI hasn't been able to match.

 

Lions wouldn't react well to that rocking though.  She would be a vomit covered hottie.  Guess those boats don't have any shade to stay bottom heavy.

 


 Still got heroine muscles with the housewife mane.

Edits::deglitch has emerged as a problem area.  During paste, it randomly causes the edit after the insertion point to be replaced by an extension of the edit before the insertion point.

 The purpose of this function was to delete really short runt edits when pasting audio between 2 existing edits, with frame alignment.  It picked up valid edits which weren't junk & absorbed them into the previous edit.

As best lions can tell, if the insertion point is a hair after the end of an edit, by less than a frame, it was intended to make the last edit before the insertion point end exactly on the insertion point.  That's what the latest fix is going to attempt.  It's just going to continue neglecting the length of the source for now.

 Only noticed it in the last year, after enabling edit splitting, but deglitch seems to have entered the chat in Jan 2017.  Remarkable that the bug was never noticed until after 2024.  It's just never been used by anyone else for audio editing & may never have been used at all since 2007.  

 Sometimes you just need your programs to work just 1 way & you're the only one who needs them that way.  The only downloads of Cinelerra root are really language models.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyways, the day job finally dropped the hammer on requiring us to proofread & test the firehose of AI generated slop bloat from above.  It's like a 2nd codebase of bloat to join the existing codebase, a very inefficient & tedious process to replace what we did before.

Ben Heck was overwhelmingly positive about this workflow, but seemed to back away eventually.  There are basically times to use it & times to not use it, which everyone must discover through a painful process instead of just reading about it.

Others like the kernal manetainers already banned AI generated slop, over the amount of investment required to test it, the amount of slop to sift through for each win, the information overload, & the amount of bloat to fix what ain't broke.  It's like valgrind, netbeans, & eclipse walked into a bar & created your worst nightmare.

There's a case for being able to vent in an office like you can't do over text.  Everything in text is archived.  The combination of a revolution in bloat & not being able to vent could be quite difficult for some.

A younger lion would probably have just taken a PIP during a phase like this, but it would be a 1 way trip for old lion.  A PIP is more of an achievement, nowadays, the retirement boost you hope to get.  Lions aren't counting on getting the rule of 55.

 The investments have yielded more than salary for a while, but the salary is still a net boost.  Gootubers miss the idea of the salary being a boost, the specter of a long term market decline, & just sell the idea of the current stonk market boom replacing any salary in any capacity.

 Lions don't trust the government to ever do anything about its inflation problem, let alone admit it exists.  At the same time, lions don't trust the easy money to prop up wall & broad forever.  We would be so lucky if the market bottom was the date of our retirement & the top was a few hundred percent higher.

It wasn't government pension funds but government borrowing. --------------------------------------------------    https://growmane.blogspot.com/2025/02/s-bear-market-being-what-it-is-apple.html Then lions realized the natural spoken language interfaces ...

Its theatric run over in 1 month, Project Hail Mary arrived on the hard drive in short order.   After running the Michael Jackson movie for just a week, the IMAX theater now seems to be derelict.  They could be reserving it for private screenings or it could be too expensive to operate. It's a growing number of movies which won't be available in blu ray.  Lions continued to be perplexed by the inferior quality of webrips.      Skimming through it, the resemblance to 80's depictions of the future was striking.         It was a time when the future was painted white & noodled.  Sometimes you have to go back to go forward.   Moving on, they made every effort to pack as much of the book in a 2:30 screening time as possible.  The shots are all very quick.  It was like watching normal movies at 2x.  The book being intended from the start to be a movie definitely helped.   Computer animated exterior s...

   Amusing that Grok applied an IPv6 style pseudo header to the computation of an IPv4 ping packet, even though IPv4 doesn't use the pseudo header.       Another Grok error was in a basic TCP demonstrator.  To avoid a TIMED_WAIT on the server blocking the port, you have to exit the server without closing the socket.   These errors take a lot more time to track down than doing it the old way.  It might be fixed in paid versions of Grok. The solution to everything ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The 2nd Krispy Kreme run.  Always a satisfied mane after 6 miles.  Always a horrible bloating, after 13 miles.  Noted the half marathon times with mane feedings are on pace for the lion kingdom's best full marathon time.  Lions took a step down from their maximum power delivery in the shortest time when the leash enabled food breaks.  Before then...
