    How Does AI Affect Your Online Shopping?

    As someone in statistics/machine learning, one of the things that annoys me about this is how "AI" has become synonymous with "a massive data center using LLM trained on everything online without regard to copyright".

    How Does AI Affect Your Online Shopping?

    What are you reading in 2026?

    On Rex Stout's "The Red Box" on my reread of the Wolfe corpus. Picked up Ann Cleeve's "The Dark Wives" (latest in the Vera Stanhope series) while out post Christmas browsing and will slip that in too.

    What's the best food?

    Cookin again

    Needed to do something with the last of the roast (it was use it or freeze it night). The leftover prime rib made for some pretty tender fajitas. Anyone have a favorite marinade for the meat and veggies for those? It was our first time and we went with a quick web searched one.
