Mildly annoyed. Thought, okay, my laptop is getting much better Wi-Fi speeds than my desktop with its USB dongle. I'll get a wireless card, that'll be faster! Okay, so I installed it, went from 10-20 to maybe 30-40. Fine but my laptop gets 300...
oh man so somebody fell on hard times -- walked by the pawn shop, there's a rather nice (epiphone) les paul for way too much money in the window next to a really nice marshall (for way too little money). seriously, though, i just bought an amp yesterday for good money off somebody, if i didn't, i'd be very seriously considering storming in there and getting it, it's criminally underpriced unless it's either broken or not what it looks like. #guitar#amp#marshall
The thing about RFK and his :lowly: is clearly just hypochondria. The guy basically just selects the doctor who tells him he has a disease where his skeleton is going to leap out of his mouth and escape down the street rather than the boring ones who don't say that
Every new pitch I hear for "AI" makes me think wow they must have come up with some interesting new technique, otherwise these claims are obviously false. And then you look into it and it's still just a very complex stochastic model underneath. But the financially motivated folks keep claiming that there's actual factual based use cases for this stuff and I really am not seeing it.
@forensicgarlic yeah, it's hard to come up with ACTUAL USE CASES for these general LLM AIs, they're typically going to be buried in the pipeline, and then the actual use cases turn out to be very hard to actually get right especially with these general models, it's not just a plug and play. meanwhile actual decent AI/ML, generally modestly sized models special built for the task, keep chugging along...
A photographer's dream. I've been photographing at Mono Lake for many years, and never did I expect to get photos like these, I didn't think it was possible. The aurora came and went for only about 15 minutes with that intensity, shifting colors before vanishing. #Aurora#NorthernLights#MonoLake
The IDF announced 50 wounded/casualties from yesterday alone. That's a really big number for them to admit. (And it's almost certainly higher)
The resistance is stepping it up. I've been surprised at the complexity of their techniques and operations. They only seem to fight better and harder as the occupiers are "crushing" them
now I just need a good mandolin. and maybe to replace my 61-key keyboard with a full size piano. and of course a bass amp and electric amp instead of using this headphone amp. and...
@forensicgarlic yeah that's what I'll try (well, FedEx) unless I find a real local business that does this stuff, but print shops in general seem more B2B...
