Polygraphs are useful in that you can claim the test subject is lying about anything you want. They’re using it as leverage more than “fact finding.”

Can’t wait for this dude to go the way of Sam Bankman-Fried. Open AI is the new Enron.

I can’t prove it but I think the Kirkland paper towels quality has gone down too.

That’s a good point. The model weights could be voltage levels instead of digital representations. Lots of audio tech uses analog for better fidelity.I also read that there’s a startup using particle beams for lithography. Exciting times.

Well I guess I’m Doomed then.

Excellent choice. Great execution. No notes.

Reminds me of the babe

It’s fixed.

Vista needs way more glass and bubbles.

That damn house rule is why Monopoly takes like 5 hours to play.

I don’t remember exactly what it was about them, but I seem to recall some bad press surrounding them or something. Honestly most VPNs have sort of shady marketing tactics.

Hey, for some reason, I can’t click on the picture of your spreadsheet. Not sure if it’s an instance thing or something on my machine. Anyways, I’ve had the Proton suite of software for over a year now. I first got it because Canada is a little more lax on enforcing copyright laws, and their VPN protocol supports port hopping. They have been pretty solid for the most part. I think one of the servers I was relying on in Vancouver went down for maintenance, so I had to pick a new one. I proxy some of my docker services with an application called gluetun and it works great with Proton.

I haven’t fully swapped over my email, but if I’m already paying for it, I might as well use it. I should also say I have used Nord, PIA, and Mullvad in the past and they all worked for what they said they would do. In the case of PIA, I’m pretty sure they’ll easily give up records when compelled.

Stupid rapture.

They can pull jetbrains-mono out of my cold dead terminal.

I first read it as neanderthals are less aggressive so they must focus now on weapons. I’m pretty sure the intention is that the guys working on the wheel have to stop because the current leadership are neanderthals.

I think neanderthals were less war-like than humans because humans eradicated all of them, but I’m probably reading too much into it.

Those colors are wild. Nice shot!

Yes I am aware that I am paying to use someone else’s hardware. I already self-hosted lots of stuff on my own hardware, renting a server has other benefits that my own hardware doesn’t, mainly guaranteed uptime.

Thanks for the guide. S3 buckets are the way to go and I already have a few Linode/Akami servers I keep for playing around with. I’m just a little worried about Navidrome hammering the server because I messed something up then getting a $1000 bandwidth charge.

I got a pretty great one for cheap that I want to migrate my Navidrome service to. I don’t mind the $12 renewal; I just need to figure out how to host 1TB of music on the cloud for cheap.

I also got a bag of ladybugs this summer to control aphids on my cherry tree, but they didn’t stick around. Idk if I applied them too late or the birds got them but we didn’t get any cherries because of the aphids. I’m going to try again next year with more bags of them and earlier in the season.
