@shtrom Good luck but yes, seems like it's a dud.

I'm building a bridge over the creek to get the mower across. Digging holes for all the stumps is hard work, particularly with the occasional floaters germane to being close to a water stream.

But the last hole was by far the easiest! I'll jot it down to improved […]

Photo of a grassy patch of ground. There's a nice round hole in the middle, and bits of a wooden structure in the making towards the top of the photograph.

Two arms, presumably the owner of the hole's, project from outside the frame. They lead to hands, cradling opposite sides of the hole. There's a ring on the ring finger of the left hand.

@xssfox I've been out riding, bought myself a drink… had sips from it as I rode along, stowing it in the front basket.

Often when I finish the drink, there's no bin nearby, so I stash it in the front basket where I can reach it the moment I see a bin. Occasionally, the wind gets it and blows it […]

If the reason why diesel prices in The United States are high (according to Trump) is because Ukraine is destroying all of Russia's refineries... then how can Russia export extra diesel to The United States to help bring down prices?

@paninid I think he also proposed some targets for them to hit too…

The steakhouse said Odin could come in, and he was a very good boy who did not steal anyone's steak even though his mouth is above table level and there's absolutely nothing anyone could do to stop him

My latest @newscientist.com cartoon

Panel 1: a large robot (composed of AI servers, network switches, storage arrays, and power distribution units) and a human are talking.

Professor "You don't want to destroy humanity do you, lLLM-A-9300x?"

Robot "Haha. What a silly question, Professor. I have no desires or feelings of my own whatsoever."

Professor (relieved)"Oh good." 

Panel 2: they walk on. The robot continues  "I am merely a tool of the company that created me. And that company, being composed of humans, will naturally have humanity's best interests at heart."

Panel 3: The professor is conspicuously quiet.
"Right?" says the Robot.
…
More silence

"Professor?"

Wife: I learned all about sunscreen and skins cancer tonight. It’s really important. See? You didn’t grow up with that. What level of sunscreen did you grow up with? Thirty?

Me: Uhh… four?

Wife: Four!?!?!?

Me: I remember seeing as low SPF 1/2.

Wife: WHAT?!?!? […]

While LLMs are not sentient, let's all make sure we don't shift the Overton window to a place where “torturing” something that we declare not conscient is acceptable. Not for the LLMs's sake, fuck'em. But for our collective humanity, or what's left of it. Cosplaying torture is not cool. I […]

I wouldn't even bother. What if they solve it?

@VeroniqueB99 Give that dog a raise.

Reminds me of a restaurant-cum-antiques shop at Flaxton (Flaxton Barn) we used to go to.

They had a bed on display with a cat laying on it. We were commenting to each-other about how realistic the cat was, when she lifted her head and blinked at us — the […]
