A black-and-white photo shows a tabletop setup of toys arranged as a Rube Goldberg–style machine, where a small train moves along tracks past ramps, levers, and stacked pieces designed to trigger one another. Elements like a raised ball, a tilted platform, and interconnected parts suggest a chain reaction in progress, while a blurred person stands in the background observing the contraption.

… of this was to pay out... $34. And even better, after I confirmed that, yes, my address was the one on file that they had used to send me a letter, they said that the check would be sent out in... 3-6 weeks.

Ahh, Rube Goldberg devices are so amusing, aren't they?

… did mention this discrepancy to the representative, who was dutifully concerned and promised to bring it up with someone.

After proving myself to both silicon- and carbon-based individuals, I finally got to the point of the letter. Apparently they had tried to pay out the remainder of a 401k […]

… stream of invective that is produced by programmers and IT personnel. That's different.

So anyway, after proving my identity to the AI and then convincing it that, yes, I really did need to speak to a representative like the letter told me, I was directed to a person. And this very nice […]

… someone was trying to scam me and steal my money. At best it was bad design. But I figured *I* called *them*, the number was in a certified letter from a financial institution that they made me *sign* for, and "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." […]

… representative.

So I called them. I of course got an AI agent. The AI agent told me it needed to confirm my identity by sending me a code. The message with the code said "Do not give this code to ANYONE! Representatives will NEVER ask for this code! Please, we beg you, be smart about this and […]

… about it, but they didn't have it and said I had to go pick it up at the post office. Being lazy, I didn't. Friday, my doorbell rang and the mail carrier delivered the letter after getting my signature.

The letter was from a financial company, telling me that they had the wrong address for me […]

Original post on mastodon.social

It all started with a "sorry we missed you" note from the Post Office on Tuesday - despite the fact that I was home that day. There was a letter that required a signature for delivery. The note had my name on it, it was in my mailbox, but the street number was off by one. Minor, funny, and it […]

A diagram of a machine where a chicken lays an egg onto a spoon which pulls on a string attached to scissors, which cut a string attached to a balloon, which floats up to tilt an incline and a ball, which rolls down to knock down a row of dominos, which knock against a hammer, which swings around to activate an alarm clock, which is connected to a stick and a glove, which pets the chicken rapidly.

Why do people defend mythological heuristics instead of accepting knowledge and logic?

If knowledge and logic are normally distributed, then at the median, raising the baseline while maintaining ordering feels like work without payoff.

"Many of the younger generation know my name in a vague way and connect it with grotesque inventions, but don't believe that I ever existed as a person."

I LOVE #RubeGoldberg devices.

Chris Ryan said that ‘Slow Horses’ is more Armando Iannucci than John le Carré. The magic is it delivers both at such a high level.

Favorite scene from last week’s episode. #rubegoldberg #pinkpaintpot
