I watched that brain probe Farscape episode too.

Check out collaborative filtering - Joe Konstan’s still researching and publishing. It’s over twenty years old. Several algorithms explored. One was basically optimizing a giant sparse matrix (i.e. movie ratings) to create recommendations. My memory is swiss cheese.

I can play rubber duck/BS sounding board. Extremely unreliable due to pain.

You’re describing an AI dream sandbox. That sounds interesting if want to talk. Quack.

I will see the level of fanciness implied by watching Farscape and raise you the medical degree I have earned watching House, ER and other various medical dramas.

I will look up collaborative filtering.

I will see if I can’t get a standing zoom line open for the substack in the coming months. We can work toward all kinds of things.

Forgot to add, sorry about the pain. That sucks hard. I know that’s so trite to say, but I am.

I’m distracting.

To destroy my nerd credibility, I will openly confess to never watching a single episode of Dr Who.

I missed this but good for you.

I haven’t seen anything since Dutch was born.
