In programming, game development, and math, LERP is short for “Linear Interpolation”. It is a method used to smoothly find a value or point that sits at a specific percentage (usually between 0.0 and 1.0) on a straight line between two other values or points.
Limerick-inspired Alphabet of Occupations: 7 – Geography Teacher
I am not a hard-core Luddite. I love software tools for manually writing things, manually editing photos, manually creating songs, and manually creating 3D artwork, and I am delighted with the increasing power of the hardware and the apps so that I can do more complex things and do them faster. Emphasis on – I do things.
I do not condone or support the use of AI tools that automatically churn out variations of slop that is composed of people’s stolen work, nor do I endorse this lemming-like mentality in society, rushing us off a cliff on which millions of humans are losing their livelihoods. Wake up!!
Ok, so we’ve done our month-of-love thing and now it’s back to our regular programming. Let’s take a cynical but comical look at the world once more.
Any time I try to sit down and contemplate the “seriousness” of reality and all its demands (mostly made by people who want economic number-to-go-up all of the time), I fail miserably.
Reality
Existence
Being
In the face of, and in contrast to, not being
Is laughably absurd, and no matter how you try, you cannot intimidate me with it.
I laugh at every attempt and so it is a daily practice of mine to contemplate the various individual demands on me and my time and make sure they are sorted into the appropriate non-anxiety-inducing buckets in which they rightly belong.
This poem is a commentary on that.
