Is this anything?

Wake the fuck up Samurai. We got a city to burn.

The Polestar concept interior is striking and beautiful but it’s obvious it would get old quickly. Center console armrest/storage/cup holder/phone charger is boring but better than being wasted on knobs and switches for AC, audio, and a few sport features you’ll never use. I get the lamentation over the disappearance of tactile interfaces, but reactionary fighter jet larp isn’t good either. Imagine your kid climbing around inside and snapping off the $1000 knurled seat warmer knob lol

Anyone else notice that we have one set of models for merchants and craftsmen, a more exclusive set for warriors and certain scholars, and then a super exclusive set for the frontier lab priests?

Pretty obvious that pelican bench is saturated, though it remains useful for identifying bad models and creative/differentiated models.

hmm

once had a colleague who pronounced AUM phonetically, like the sacred primordial sound

Who’d have guessed so many people on the tl definitely knew what polysemanticity was before today!

Regardless of actual need for a shed, there are two kinds of responses: 1. Those who look for a reason not to have a shed. 2. Should my shed maybe have solar and a battery backup? Dedicated Starlink? 5G fallback? Climate control and a comfy chair? Long range wifi so I could put it in an outbuilding? Maybe I could develop my own protocol for low bandwidth out-of-band messaging bounces off the ionosphere? Maybe my shed could talk with my buddies’ sheds on a mesh network. Could my shed be a camper van? Or a shipping container on an autonomous barge? Let me find a good mini fridge.

Throwback to 4 years ago (pre-chatgpt!) when I got roasted by a GitHub copilot comment autocomplete and got interested in these things called large language models. @natfriedman

The year is 2062, I’m getting too old to run the family 3-layer spv which holds a slice of a tech-enabled gutter cleaning verticalization play. None of my sons want to take over. I signal my final intent to the Omnifund and get liquidated in 47ms. We receive .00032 monkey jpegs.

Yeah I’ll pass, lmk where you build the next one though.

Their accursed foreign interference, our blessed cultural victory.

Sorry but I'm probably in the small minority of Jev hopefuls who actually know about GLiNER and used it extensively. I'm excited about Jev because it actually works well off the rack in our evals. No partial credit for being "the same thing" but it's worse and requires you to finetune out the wazoo at a huge expense.

Squeezable sour cream being invented after AlexNet is today's version of suitcases with wheels being invented after the moon landing.

Zitron but he’s a muckraker (derogatory) during the railroad boom and he’s obsessed with writing about circular revenue between the railroad, steel, and coal industries.
