It’s really dumb. Something I have noticed most of the formerly loud and obnoxious Trump flags in my area have quietly disappeared lately…

Gahds the news cycle is so ridiculous now. Forgot about this asshat.

“The AI hallucinated the brutality, your honor.”

“Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, just because they’re a dissident that speaks out often against authority who we clearly would like to silence doesn’t mean the AI is biased in its assessment of their guilt.”

I cycle when I can, I have a 20mi loop on trails I can do, but fell way short of my goal for this year. I also am trying to restart regular yoga classes with my partner at our gym, where we also climb and lift weights. Hiking is good too, or even just walking our neighborhood. Eating healthy (we focus on protein and whole food/plant based, but not completely vegetarian), and I’ve been tryin to cut back on the whiskey and beer but it’s just so good and shit is just so depressing in the world lately…

I paid for Kagi for a while and many of my coworkers use it. It’s a solid and growing engine that’s getting a a lot right re: creating good UX and generating search results (which should be the goal of a search engine, *sigh).

That said, l use SearxNG daily nowadays because it’s decentralized and privacy-focused. You can use any of the public instances or host your own if you like.

Here’s an example of the search results for “Neuroscience” on the instance I use.

Plus one for posteo. I’ve used them for several years now and have had no issues

Seriously can’t agree more. Whatever small utility LLMs offer (I haven’t used them in my day-to-day work at all because a regular search works for me just fine, and I can create my own images), it’s not worth the incredible amount of resources used to perform a single query. Maybe if we had fusion energy and there were no environmental implications to further researching the theoretical limits of LLMs their use could be justified–but we don’t, there are, so it can’t.

I joined a climbing gym after learning how to climb, belay and rappel for a week. I love learning knots, so that’s fun, but also all the terminology and techniques. Plus there’s a whole social aspect to it (climbers tend to be pretty friendly). Turning out to be a healthy and exciting new hobby!

Also @fool I remember learning to whistle as a kid–my dad was slightly annoyed he had shown me how to do it because I wouldn’t stop whistling the main themes from Indiana Jones and Star Wars

I’m glad to see this is still around: https://exercism.org/

helped me learn when I was starting out 7-8 years ago

Don’t know if this will help assuage your fears: https://www.techradar.com/news/mullvads-no-log-policy-proven-after-police-raid

I’ve used Mullvad for years, and from what I know, they store almost nothing – only your randomly generated account number. If you are paying using an anonymous method that’s even less to go on.

Endless Sky for me
