Good ol’ rat mikes. (Rode-nt -> rodent)

Open to recs. I have had two cheap ones and they both kinda sucked, but I could recognise the utility and wished I had better expressions of them.

Perhaps not, but maybe “zemblanity”, a word I found by searching “serendipity but bad”:

Zemblanity is the opposite of serendipity, meaning that it is an unlucky or unwanted, but predictable, event. Although it might be difficult to imagine someone behaving in a manner that could be predicted to cause harm, zemblanity can occur as a result of complex human and organizational factors.

Per ness labs, which the only context I have for it is that it isn’t a dictionary.

In that sense, as with sewer diving, there’s a sweet spot of anosmia.

Tangent to the whole thing: digging through the archives is referred to as “spelunking” in the article. I’ve heard people referring to reading and interpreting legacy code as “archaeology”. What other fun metaphors do we have for looking through old stuff?

Sure, that is a line from one of the choruses. It does not seem to be the focus of the album. Discussions of song meanings aside, just to be clear about what is going on here:

• you are in the wrong place if you’re here to ideate about what technology can do without considering the consequences
• you are in the wrong place to be posting AI generated content without good justification

please leave and take your AI generated trash with you.
