I don't think the Firehose is that particular. You just must have seen it at the right time. I don't remember interacting with you before either. But it is nice to meet you either way.
Since this is a journal, consider it a friendly place and my own personal journey instead of a new direction for
Its kind of like going back to a childhood playground and seeing all the old neighborhood friends for me.
Wait, stop
I like your signature.
No it did not come from a Bible study curriculum.
As far as my best understanding of physics, our mathematical models start applying in degrees of verifiability from complete conjecture to solid Standard Model only after the big bang.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only thing we know about the state of of the universe at the BB was from Hawking, who showed it started from a singularity, who showed it was the same mathematically an undefinable state that Einstein defined a singularity as.
Cosmology has nothing to say so far, except agreeing there is no dimension or substance or life, but if there was a casual observer that could exist in these circumstances the emotions provided in the preceding verses would suffice for our kindergartners.
But Cosmology has a lot to say about the next verse,
And said God, "Let there be light", and there was light.
I agree, Genesis makes a very explicit distinction between the deep and water. I'm admittedly taking figurative license that an ocean and a depth can often describe the same thing.
In the next part I go further in the concept of water being an allusion for chaos when i talk about the separation of the waters from the waters. At that point Genesis tries (in my opinion) to move from an allusion of cosmic chaos as "waters" and the waters the allusion was built on, the waters we actually experience.
I'm trying to find a way to introduce this with just the translation, and might find a way that preserves the Genesis distinction. I would even prefer it if I could.
Where do we start with little five year olds?
Genesis is abstract such that it might map to that early big bang, or it could map to the first time our sun light up what would soon be its domain -- our solar system.
Gen 1:1 is coming next. That is where the translation wresting begins
Cosmology, evolution, paleontology, are all fields of science where we can peer into the past after countless thousands of hours spent in painstaking effort to deduce physical cues from the world around us. We can look past history to see human families and sociality extending more than a hundred thousand years with the tools, bones and footprints they left. We can look even farther into the past before humans even existed and see a continuity of primordial evolution that takes us back to the
Ripley: Mother! I've turned the cooling unit back on. Mother!
Mother: The ship will automatically destruct in T minus five minutes.
Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL9000: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Spock: Computers make excellent and efficient servants, but I have no wish to serve under them.
R. Daneel Olivaw: A robot must not hurt a human being, unless he can think of a way to prove it is for the human beingâ(TM)s ultimate good after all.
Eddie the Computer: Guys, I am just pleased as punch to inform you that there are two thermo-nuclear missiles headed this way... if you don't mind, I'm gonna go ahead and take evasive action.
Arthur Dent: COMPUTER DO SOMETHING!
Eddie the Computer: Sure thing fella! Switching over to manual control... good luck!

Very different play by Disney this time around, but just as effective.
I hate that Slashdot has become this crap and lost all meaning of what it used to be.
Frosty piss! Pertified Natalie Portman likes hot grits!
Oh, wait, maybe Slashdot never had meaning, and has always been full of cantankerous curmudgeons and people waaaaay over there on the spectrum, bloviating before 'bloviating' was a term.
Belay that, I do know. Some memories are quicker than others.
If you had said Bits and Chips, or maybe BoredAtWork I think I would have understood. I'm afraid I don't understand Duckpins...
I am also sure coding model poisoning has started a while ago.
I had a coffee mug from the 80s printed in a micr font, filled with several well-known computer aphorisms of the day. One was
If computers get too powerful, organize them into a committee. That will do them in.
I am also thinking about what regulatory and IP compliance officers in various companies make of the summary where it said "The tool tracks the code and comments in the file that a programmer is working on, as well as other files that it links to or that have been edited in the same project, and sends all this text to the large language model behind Copilot as a prompt." I expect that the word 'aneurism' is appropriate.
Say "twenty-three-skiddoo" to logout.
