A couple years ago they were looking for a new lighthouse keeper in the SF bay ebls.org/about/keepers-search-innkeeper/ but it looks like they filled the position.
However this lighthouse includes a B&B and is in the bay surrounded by millions of people so maybe not quite what you were looking for.
That’s absolutely not true. Data shows the only countries with higher gun deaths per capita than the US are all central and parts of South America. E.g., India’s per capita gun death rate is 0.56 vs 4.12 in the US.

Civ 5 here. I’ll be 39 this year and play the least out of my friends group (probably 1 or 2 sessions a month where I quit 3 or 4 hours in, and once a month or less playing for 6 or more hours to almost actually finish a game). The friends I play with are all mid 40s and do a full game at least weekly. We all have wives and kids and stuff but are huge nerds i guess.
How does lemmy federation work in this case? Conceivably after being restored from backup the lemmy.ml instance could see those few hours of lost history as federated to other lemmy instances and resync it back as the host instance. Obv I’m vastly oversimplifiying things but what happens today?
Basically it’s a firefox extension to save a page as a pdf in a directory that is symlinked to your local PrivateGPT install which then ingests the docs. It doesn’t seem to me that it provides any in-browser querying of PrivateGPT but I haven’t tried setting it up to confirm that.

Marinol is not thc and is absolutely garbage compared to full spectrum cannabis products. Assuming you live in a sane state, go get yourself some RSO if you want to see if cannabis can help (I don’t think it will, it doesn’t sound like your symptoms are nausea related lack of appetite)

Re thumb-key do you have recommended tutorials for getting comfortable with it? I found trying to do touch typing tutorials didn’t really help, both because they are generally made for desktop environments and they are geared towards qwerty layout (e.g., get comfortable with home row first etc). I tried forcing myself to use it for a full 24 hours as the concept makes a ton of sense to me, but got very frustrated with myself and then dug into the world of which layout to choose, got overwhelmed, and switched back to whatever this qwerty layout that samsung one ui provides on galaxys.
Psychedelics definitely aren’t causing your brain to malfunction. If anything, most of the research around neuroplasticity and using psychedelics for traumatic brain injuries and dementia and such show that they seemingly kick your brain into an overdrive mode where it is able to form connections at a much higher rate than normal.
Fair enough, I like the “operate way out of spec” language much more than “malfunction” but you obv have a point.

I think that is overly simplistic. Embeddings used for LLMs do definitely include a concept of what things mean and the relationship of things to other things.
E.g., compare the embeddings of Paris, Athens, and London to other cities and they will have small cosine distance between them. Compare France, Greece, and England and same. Then very interestingly, look at Paris - France, Athens - Greece, London - England and you’ll find the resulting vectors all align (fundamentally the vector operation seems to account for the relationship “is the capital of”). Then go a step further, compare those vector to Paris - US, Athens - US, London - Canada. You’ll see the previous set are not aligned with these nearly as much but these are aligned with each other (relationship being something like “is a smaller city in this countrry, named after a famous city in some other country”)
The way attention works there is a whole bunch of semantic meaning baked into embeddings, and by comparing embeddings you can get to pragmatic meaning as well.
