Sheetz gang where you at?

Yep. And the last time I did this I helped by keeping my house around 50 degrees all the time. I figure if we spend most of our energy keeping warm then making that harder would burn more calories.

Now that I’m used to eating less I’ve found that I simply can’t eat like I used to without discomfort.

Case in point: last night I got an Italian sub and was full after half of it, while previously I would have housed the entire thing.

I gave up soda entirely and now I can’t drink any of it. It tastes like fizzy battery acid to me.

Lots of things are easy to do once, but doing them continuously for as long as necessary is extremely hard.

That being said I was starving for like two weeks but eventually I found I can’t eat that much anymore and it got easier.

This is a joke but I lost 20 pounds so far just by eating half as much as I normally would.

The way I came into it was reading them all in order. I’m told this is not the best way and that there are flow charts.

But I like this way because I got to see how Sir Pterry evolved as an author and I got to see them in somewhat disjointed order rather than going through individual characters or arcs. It felt more like a fleshed out universe that way, and I love great universe building.

I am so excited for you! I’ve been through all of it at least twice but I’ll never forget my first time.

It’s data collection like you mentioned in your original post, and it uses the same sort of approach to ingesting that data as an LLM does for text.

As for a valid use of LLMs: Natural language searching (with cited sources) is a use case that it’s already doing. This is especially useful in highly technical fields where the end users have the expertise to vet responses but there’s way too much data for a human to parse.

But one big LLM trained on everything isn’t that.

Seinfeld is also like that. The best ones are where all their individual idiocy ends up making a spectacular fireball of stupidity.

Though I hope Earth gets a better finale.

They did warn one person: Wonko the Sane.

He’s probably my favorite character in all the books.

This would have been a great villain in The Tick

Part of what made it so memorable - and inspired the song - is that school was cancelled that day so a bunch of kids were watching the press conference.

Another one that makes sense is having an AI monitor system stats and “learn” patterns in them, then alert a human when it “thinks” there’s an anomaly.
