Re: extrasonic context, the guy has Japanese titles for the Pikmin World album on his iPod Mini, which are just what's in the MP3 ID3 tags.Comments
On our trip, he listened to it on my phone, where Plex gets translated title from somewhere (maybe CDDB). He said "Listening to Pikmin 1 music is much more interesting when you know what the titles are." -

I’m sure there will be links like “Court Rules AI Art Can’t Be Copyrighted” aplenty. They will be wrong.
The guy trying to copyright the work here insisted that his program was entirely autonomous, that it didn’t need his input (parameters, editorial oversight, etc.).
Why didn’t he argue that writing the program (the pipeline, the model, etc.) was part of creating the work, and like making molds in order to make a series of sculptures? That the “hand of the creator” was there? Maybe he didn’t actually write the program?
This is an interesting historical note:Thaler’s stance put him in with failed plaintiffs of the past who insisted that gods, spirits, or unattributed voices communicated works they transcribed, and therefore got no copyrights.
So had she not kept her paintings secret during her lifetime, Hilma af Klint might had trouble copyrighting them.The pictures were painted directly through me, without any preliminary drawings, and with great force. I had no idea what the paintings were supposed to depict; nevertheless I worked swiftly and surely, without changing a single brush stroke.[14]

Fake Steve Jobs & Letters from BILL GComments
Matt Sephton talks about comedy blogs/columns impersonating famous people from the ‘00s and ‘90s, respectively.
It’s striking how much language affects comedy. Here’s a Bill G column hand-translated from Japanese to English. Matt says it is funny in Japanese, and I have no doubt that it is. In English, you feel that this is familiar style of humor, but something is clearly lost.Dear Japanese readers with no brains. I'm the well-known zillionaire, Bill G. Have you already bought the masterpiece called "The Lord Ahead" in which my future vision is written? In this book, mainly I tell with my persistence how I've been dominating the kingdom of personnel computers, and also how I'll be dominating it from now on.
Fake Steve Jobs is a blog which is used to read when it was active. Now I notice that he, in addition to the Steve Jobsisms, uses words like “shizzle,” “tard,” and “hottie.” Those words aren’t used today, even in jest, and are a marker of the ‘00s. (“Hottie” was always awkward. Not just because of the objectifying but also because of the pronunciation ergonomics. It always sounds like “hadi”.)
Once being a king, the enemies increasing. Day after day, I'm more terrified with those who menace my life. In this issue, let me bring up the subject of terrorism.
What I used to think was weird about the ‘00s was that it did not have its own feel like the ‘80s and ‘90s did. It just seemed “blank white backdrop” unflavored. In hindsight, it did.
When I read those posts, the language takes the foreground, along with the history and my knowledge of what happened to the technologies and companies mentioned in the posts. So, it’s not as funny as when it was fresh, but that’s OK because writing for the future is futile.
Personality-based jokes like Jobs bullying Wozniak is still as funny, though. -

If you were wondering what happened to Capharnaum, they broke up. And:Comments
After the demise of his death metal band Capharnaum, Jordan rose to fame as a pop music producer under the name Infinity. He broke through in 2005 by co-writing and producing Mary J. Blige's "Take Me As I Am". He is also credited with writing a Backstreet Boys song as well as contributing to "The Nights" by Avicii.

After telling my mom that taking two months to recover from food poisoning is too long to go without seeing a doctor, I realized that I’ve had back pain for five months after completing physical therapy and doing the exercises since then. So, I messaged my doctor, who kinda sucks, but I don’t really want to do a doctor search.Comments

We got class assignment today. None of us know anything about the new teacher, so this is not a ton of information.Comments
However, they send out the assignments as lists of ids under each teacher. We also have part of last year's assignment. So, using this script, I was able to figure out that three other kids from the guy's class last year are in his class this year.
A more interesting broader finding is that they shuffle the classes pretty evenly. Every fourth grade class has about 4-6 students from each of the four third grade classes from last year. So, there's no mass migrations from one class to another, which I imagine helps with breaking up cliques and getting kids to know more people. -
