@feld That’s actually a reasonable case: giving the experts added searching capability. Law and medicine, too. Just as long as AI isn’t touching the actual returns.

@moon Just about every time the camera is on turn 9, another driver is over the line.

@simon With the side benefit of not having to deal with all the asshole seniors and StackOverflow jockeys who can’t wait to mock you for needing help

@Wolven See also: China Beach. Killer 60s-70s soundtrack. Completely unavailable on streaming, probably forever.

@Wolven I've been asking around whether there's an "I'm intentionally not EA" faction of AI engineers/researchers who just want to do their work and go home without being whipsawed by magical thinkers. If not, seems like it's time they form one.

@simon @glyph If I were worried about never having connectivity again (ftr, I am not), I would focus less on the durability of the medium, and more on how recent a snapshot I could throw in my bugout bag. 30 years from now, I don't want the 486DX of LLMs.In which case, I'd probably put a SFF PC on a UPS, with a USB stick in it, update the LLM every month, and write it out to USB every time the network or power went down.Maybe 2 USB drives. ;)

@Wolven I got ordained in my 40s. The last part was an intensive, 18hr/day, lots of running services/liturgy/history, etc. I had stress dreams for years about being dressed in the wrong robes for an imaginary ceremony.

Fun fact: It's totally normal to find a bald eagle and have a rainbow pop up while you're photographing it. Everyday stuff.#Photography #BirdPhotography

Fun fact: many of the arguments over the autism “epidemic” are the same leveled against lefthandedness over the years. Broadly, that something is wrong with “them” and “they” need to be socialized (i.e., stigmatized/punished) to be more like “us.”It turns out that 12% of us are just lefties and once we stopped fucking with them everything leveled out.https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/114344267099731324

Third and 1, Dems at the GOP 17. Handoff to… wait, the Dems QB is holding the ball out to the Republicans. Now they’re having a colloquy? And here goes the GOP, grabbing the ball and jogging in for a touchdown! The Dems aren’t even chasing them.Wait, NOW the Dems are holding a press conference, mid-play! “We made our point,” they say, helmets in hand, while the GOP high-fives in the end zone.GOP leads at the end of the first quarter, 84-0.
