It’s the Toot-Toot-Toblerone

I saw comments on his Fediverse post of the comic indicating it may be that “golden sunlight” shading idea of adding warmth. It’s much flatter of an effect in generated images than in his art, I think, where sometimes it’s heavy and sometimes light and not even always present.

just throw a yellow filter on it and post it as “jordan pee”

Same. I call them “cartridges” for lack of a better word but they last over a year each for me and still haven’t shown the “time to replace” indicator.

Yep! I set it up with Calibre-web as the OPDS provider, can have multiple.

It’s almost like prediction markets are a scam, weird

Me completely. Sorry, I don’t wanna play DBD or space rocks or the tenth “analog horror giggle backrooms” to come out in the past 5 years.

I just wanna “I’m not crying you’re crying” about owls in Ori.

The other problem is the “um actually the field of ML is a subset of AI” people because, technically machine learning is a subset of the field of artificial intelligence mathematics.

But them acting like that isn’t doing the devil’s dirty work to “um actually” at everyone is absurd.

The two matching sleeves (plus distortion from position) screams chop, not slop. Slop ain’t that kinda copy/paste job, and it’s too subtle of a joke.

Maybe slop chop plopped their faces on the original chop.

All of these features are not something the models themselves can do, but are grafted on.

I could easily write a Home Assistant automation pattern matching for nearly every way someone could say “how many Rs are in strawberry”, depluralize a plural letter, and run it against “wc” in a bash terminal.

That doesn’t mean it’s smarter. It’s that I’ve added something specific to it.

MCP and the like is just that too, gluing on functions or the ability to hopefully invoke a function. That’s why so many hilariously mundane ones exist.

At the core, it’s still a large language model: a statistical model of frequency of word and word chunk (token) patterns.

Sometimes one model can invoke another via that tooling but it’s still a grafting on. It isn’t a singular thing or system, but disjointed pieces so completely detached from how brains work.

This isn’t AI hate, it’s reality. I love the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. It’s cool as hell. But an LLM is fundamentally incapable of being anything more than an LLM with glued on pieces that invoke functionality.

OpenAI saw people mock the inability to count so they wrote a specialized tool to count letters and glued it on.

The world is full of endless edge cases. The inability to simply resolve them without gluing on every single one means it just isn’t doing anything new.

Even if no one else could access it because it stayed on my device, I’m sure it’ll be used for categorizing “advertising cohort” stuff again.

It sucks having to be so skeptical. With my severe ADHD something like this would be enormously helpful for remembering conversations others I talk to remember just fine but I don’t.

Oh good, a trans erasure post in pride month, excellent.

I knew dyspraxia was a potential one, but I’ve met shockingly few ADHD folks with it, at least the same flavors of very-fine motor impact I have with it.

It doesn’t help that it’s not a mental disorder, but a biological one, largely neurological, that we understand a lot about one of the brain-structure causes now.

The problem is that doom scrolling and repeated exposure to bursts of endorphins creates a physiological syndrome that mimics some of the symptoms of ADHD due to slightly similar reasons, but not all of them.

The real answer is “what’s the fucking context for how these numbers are being used?”

If it’s “just as written on a test” I think asking for clarification on order would be accepted.

If it’s an actual context of some kind then that alone dictactes the way you solve it.

Can’t quickly come up with a word problem for this one though.

It’s not just that, it’s that they don’t care. People keep assuming it’s solely based on a lack of knowledge but the real point is establishing consequences to prevent the things that can’t fight it from existing to begin.

They’ll decline to go after the websites they as lawmakers use themselves, but will instead hit up independent things that can’t afford to fight back and will just close when contacted.

Forgejo is a git server.

UI looks very similar to older GitHub before it got so “modern” in a bad way.

Yep. Dropout use them for a streaming backend.
