Are you advocating going back to reddit?

truly you are doing the Lord’s work

At least we can all agree that Hawaii is awesome

Actual lizards would do a better job than a number of governments I can think of.

Mine was from not REI but somebody like REI, basically industrial strength camping gear baby kit and was also awesome. Lasted through my kids, then my sister’s, and now a cousins. Like 10 kids and almost 20 years and still looks nearly new.

they should just respond with 2 photos, one of LA in the 1970s and one from today. There’s a reason it doesn’t look like this anymore.

You might be interested in Integrated information theory, which proposes that everything - from an electron up to a galaxy or bigger - can be said to have some unit of consciousness (for certain definitions of consciousness). It’s something between a mathematical framework and a philosophical one, but does put forth some hypotheses that touch on cosmology and thermodynamics and isn’t just nut job pseudoscience.

It’s not cowardice, it’s intentional. He wants a timeline where techno-lords with divine authority oversee their vassal states and nations are a thing of the past. Bending over for a fascist party is the fastest way to get there.

You can put videos in a text thread. I’m on a 31-person thread that has been active for about 15 years. I promise there’s no shortage of videos.

Try to get them to text them instead. Giant family text chains are a lot more fun (and chaotic) than generic social media.

thanks, fixed.

Lol, but there are lots of applications for nondeterministic computing that are not LLMs. Some of the famous-y ones would be like Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), which is used in reinforcement learning (e.g., AlphaGo) to explore game trees probabilistically, Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), where you use randomness to sample from complex distributions (e.g., Bayesian inference), and zero-knowledge proofs, where you use randomness to verify information without revealing it. You could probably get an LLM to make a longer list :)

Lol. How’re your back, hips, and knees today?

The Internet peaked early :(

This is it literally. (granted I’m sure there are other use cases, but you know they’re following those AI-dollars)

I’m still using that mouse, with a 9-pin to ps2 and a ps2 to usb

it’s just practice.

At least you tried.

I’m down. We should invite some of the solarpunk instance guys.
