Yep. Alexander Skarsgard as Murderbot. I think it needs more time than two episodes to cook and find itself before I pass judgement. I will watch at least another couple episodes.

Ha, two people I tagged so far in this thread. One for being a self-described and proud redpiller type (I don’t remember the specifics on that one) and one for conversing in bad faith; that person kept arguing with well-sourced fact. Think flat-earther type stubbornness to acknowledge reality for the sake of being funny or edgy. There’s a time and a place for that, but it was on a serious topic where everyone else was taking it seriously and trying to be genuinely helpful.

I haven’t tagged you, OP. Yet.

Ah, you want specialized instead of general.

Well, then is a couple of books enough to train your LLM? How many books are there on wavelengths your first doublet filters for?

Seems like you might want a forum full of topic specific comments too to feed into the model. A photography textbook with a section on lenses is good, real questions and answers from actual photographers with real scenarios would be better for most people.

If copyright were magically not an issue, why does this need to be local/self hosted?

Like sure, some people will still self host and we need some people to keep information independent of corporations. But for people who just want a summary of a car maintenance task, why would they go to a local repository instead of the largest one they can find?

I would need more specificity around “basic human needs”. It could be that only 1-30% of the world’s population don’t currently meet that threshold, so sure, easy call to lop off pinky thru middle finger on my non-dominant hand to help them. I mean, ask “would you cut off your pinky finger to stop the genocide in Gaza?” and that would be a hard, fast yes and that’s way less than 10% of the world affected.

If we’re talking past basic survival to full universal healthcare and universal basic income… I’d consider all ten fingers with more details. I’m super sus of any monkey paw curls, so I want to understand the ins and outs before I say all ten fingers.

During COVID I switched from a sit-stand-walk around type job to WFH sitting for the full 8+ hours. I found myself spiraling into some real hip and lower back pain until I invested in some new home office furniture to enable more standing and moving around.

Cheapo walking treadmill was the best $125 Bezos bucks I spent during lockdown.

New medicine down the road of ozempic and other hormone mimics/manipulators. I think we’re going to see a step change increase in how much control people can exert over their bodies when genetics and environment are a challenge.

Never conceived… that makes me Jesus? So either tap into that sweet church money or get crucified.

When it was a younger sibling getting the beatings. When it was targeted a me, I always justified it thinking I must have done something to deserve it. But watching the attention turn to the younger, I realized there was nothing us kids could do to be “good enough”.

You don’t get points for hobbying the hardest. IMO, you might benefit from focusing on enjoying a hobby and stop making it about efficiency.

“Feeling guilty” about not being the best at a hobby is a bit of a “please consider therapy” flag.

I use Podcast Addict too. Found it well over six years ago and never bothered to look for another.

No.

Some of them do. See: Elon Musk

Some of them don’t. See: Albert Einstein, Anthony Hopkins, Emily Dickinson, Bobby Fischer, Bill Gates, Lionel Messi

Canada was watching, pulled a 180 and didn’t elect their own Trump Wannabee.

Jammy soy eggs

Extra dehydrated veggies

Dollop of gochujong or some other hot sauce

Sprinkling if sesame seeds or crunches up nori

We’ll see if they stay up or if it was a minor swing due to, I don’t know, short term short supply. I was reading they are an interesting bellweather because of their very short shelf-life and west-to-east shipping path.

They’re one of my favorite lunches while hiking. Good fats. Easy. No refrigeration needed.

They doubled over the last ~week at my grocery store. Typically 88 cents to $1, today $1.99.

“May you have the day you voted for.”

Not shortages yet, but steep price increases.

I have dropped some items from my normal grocery list because of ramping prices. Eggs and avocados were first, but it’s expanding to other things now.

I have some hobby projects I want to do that would require buying new hardware; those prices are going up so that is on hold until further notice.

I work from home 95% of the time and do much of my evening/weekend socializing and hobbies within walking distance of my home, so I could drop my driving and fuel consumption very low.

I bought a $30 renter-friendly bidet kit so I am way less exposed to another toilet paper shortage.

I was going to buy a new car, probably a RAV4 internal hybrid, within the next 1-2 years but that is completely up in the air now. My current car is functional, just old, and I would continue driving it rather than swap to an inferior and dangerous American car like Tesla.

Buy less, budget conscientiously, wait to see what happens. Exactly what Trump doesn’t want but which anyone with half a brain cell knew would happen.

Knot tying. Most half-hitches tied in 60 seconds or fastest time to tie all six of the “scout knots”.

I assume 99% don’t know them and I am reasonably quick at them, I could hold the record for at least a day or two.
