Back to the Storms
Workation in Baltimore was extended due to weather and it was great. Really, really great. Very nice to get extra time with Melissa and Elliott and Simon, wound up taking the slow trip home by train all day on Tuesday so Erica could be back for school on Wednesday (Monday and Tuesday were snow days anyways). Erica wasn't thrilled about the prospect of such a long train ride but then it was fine, she did some craft projects and watched Lu Over the Wall again (we watched it together for the first time on that trip in Cleveland) and the time passed pretty quick. I even managed to get in a productive day of work from the train, despite the flaky wifi.
The storm wasn't as snowy in Boston as the last, but slightly south of Boston got whacked. Providence got more snow than in the Blizzard of '78.
Since then, I continued to spend the rest of the week wringing out concurrency bugs and the US government managed to start another war. And the government is sanctioning AI chatbot company Anthropic for saying its contract doesn't permit the self-described "Department of War" to use the tech for mass surveillance and unsupervised killbots. (With OpenAI stepping into that vacuum, guess it's time to rewatch Slaughterbots and have nightmares.) Just the usual.
