If I’m being honest the only Microsoft product I actually like is Excel.

Look, I’m no guillotine-ologist, but I think if I was going to construct one I would forgo my usual method of measure once and cut 5 to 10 times until I have to go get another board because I’ve destroyed the last one.

Speaking of creole, I started making a roux for gumbo yesterday and burned it after prepping the veggies and meat. We are pizza last night. But today I’m doing the slow 4 hours in the oven roux so I don’t mess it up again.

8tb on one chip? As Bill Gates once said “Damn, that’s a shit load of ram.”

I hate Reddit as much as the next guy but that just sounds like an asshole mod

When I dropped LastPass I found Bitwarden and liked them mainly because of the open source. I pay them for the software so that it can remain free and open. If that stopped, I would also stop paying them for it.

Pretty sure it was named after the French village Mini-Opuasé where it was discovered in the 1800’s.

Great write up, now I have to google what a Meraenne Twister is. To use audio input noise as a random number gen I would just hook it up to a pressision digital db meter but I’m guessing the software implementation is a little more practical.

It’s only a matter of time until the premium users get ads. Just like Netflix, and cable TV before that. You will inevitably wind up paying to be advertised to.

Maybe stop wearing that 🍍 shirt.

Why do you say it’s a scam? I have not found a better alternative that produces decent search results. It’s not incentivized to send you to any particular websites, and I can personalize the results how I like.

I actually have an instance of searxng as well. I use it with my local chatGPT.

Not an ad, but Kagi is worth it. I’m ok with paying for search tho.

Damn, how is the Prey 2017 version one of my all time favorites but I didn’t know there was a 2006 Prey game.

I’m not sure what is these days but according to Merriam it’s the capability of computer systems or algorithms to imitate intelligent human behavior. So it’s debatable.

I wouldn’t say LLMs are going away any time soon. 3 or 4 years ago I did the Sentdex youtube tutorial to build one from scratch to beat a flappy bird game. They are really impressive when you look at the underlying math. And the math isn’t precise enough to be reliable for anything more than entertainment. Claiming it’s AI, much less AGI is just marketing bullshit, tho.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that at this point Ticketmaster might be one of the most hated company in America.

16 gb of non-upgradeable ram seems a little light, but I’m not familiar with RISC. I would like to get one to play with tho.

candlewood suites, never had a bad experience.

Hot take, I doubt either of them would help the other out more than a symbolic gesture.
