Harvard has its CS50 lectures online for free. Can’t hurt.

We spent the five years training the model. Manually. With Captcha data.

Now we’re teaching it not to run traffic signals, hit motorcycles or busses, or try to drive up stairs.

I’ll believe it in a couple of years if he doesn’t turn up having faked his death again.

Uhh, don’t think it’s the propaganda that’s perpetuating the war. That’d be the invasion.

Found the Russian sympathizer though.

I’ve more paid attention to Ukranians’ accounts of events than major media coverage. Lots of pictures of really old tanks being dragged away by farm equipment and other extremely dated supplies being found. If this is anyone’s propaganda it’s Ukraine’s, in which case I’m happy to participate.

Nobody said it hasn’t been hellish for Ukraine, or that it hasn’t been a hard fight. Even if they were equipped with entirely WW2-era supplies, an invasion is an invasion, and by all accounts this has been a particularly cruel and brutal invasion.

I really don’t care at all about being fair to Russian engineers at the moment.

I don’t think most countries are using first aid kits from the 70s.

Is that like a robot infant Arnold?

Why do you expect the Russian space program to be using new equipment after the antique show of an invasion in Ukraine?

The only good thing that’s been done in Florida this year. I’d love it if public spaces were a little more accessible for people with allergies.

Nice, where do I get my $5k?

I dream of this kind of storage. I just added a second m.2 with a couple of TB on it and the space is lovely but I can already see I’ll fill it sooner than I’d like.

I found that it does well with actual full on spam in the form of unsolicited mass mails. If there’s anything I’ve subscribed to, it does just dump it into the inbox until I tell it to do otherwise. So mostly decent. I feel like it might be benefiting from their spam sorting but not from the promotional tag.

I forwarded all my gmail addresses to proton recently. I’m very pleased! It works a lot better than gmail-to-gmail forwarding and the UI is purple! Purple!!

One could say the same of the ambient air in much of Canada lately, but I don’t think pouring ink on the trees would better the situation.

There’s no way the ink doesn’t make them even worse. I’ve always loved Canada’s over the top approach to visually discouraging smoking by hijacking half the pack with a picture. My favorite when I smoked cigarettes was the one with the kids giving you a judgemental look.

Given the numbers in this article, though, I’m not sure how well it’s working.

That’s not me, but I don’t really feel like it’s particularly helpful to be in someone’s life if that’s the way you look at it. Especially if it’s a situation where your own standards have changed while theirs haven’t.

Honestly, I don’t really want to be spending my time around people who look down on me at all, full stop. Whatever the reason they may have, why have people in your life socially whose company you don’t enjoy? I used to put up with a lot of that, largely when I was broke and directionless, but it’s not really worth it. There are so many people out there, why not find some who are on the same page?

That doesn’t have to attempt to be a position of moral superiority or putting your nose up about lack of responsibility. It can just not be a good fit. Lots of people aren’t a good fit for one another.

Honestly, if I found out one of my friends saw me this way I’d rather they just get out of my life.

I quit smoking for a bit over a year at one point, and it was difficult. It definitely took the development of new coping skills and it was hard not to reach for something in those moments when I wanted to sort of fill the gap not smoking left behind. It was also super disorienting.

But probably the hardest part was deciding to quit and finding support for it that wasn’t full on anti-weed. I did find a substance abuse recovery discord that helped in a non-judgemental way, but most of the people encouraging me to stick with quitting were pretty black and white about it.

It didn’t make me feel sick the way quitting tobacco did, though, or leave me with that strained feeling of chemical dependence.

Eventually I started smoking again, deciding I liked the positive effects more than I didn’t like the occasional negative effects. It’s nice to know that I can quit, though, if I decide it isn’t worth it.

I am so sick of reading half-articles stuck behind paywalls.

I’m just gonna leave this here.
