The restaurants in Aspen hated his guts in ‘72.
Of course, I'm using 'talent' here s a shorthand, I think artists can sometimes get a little annoyed if it sounds too much like someone is talking of talent as this innate quality that makes creating good art easy, when that's not true at all. What people call talent is typically some combination of hard work, practice and a frightening ammount of single-minded obsession.
@Owlor In the broadcast news world, "talent" is shorthand for anyone who appears on camera. I.E. "The talent is ready."
@GrapheneOS @ne_ so I understand you are not using LLMs?
@bazkie @ne_ We're definitely against AI slop but that doesn't mean we ban using LLMs or don't see a use case for them. There's quite a difference between generating a bunch of code with an LLM and using it within a limited scope with everything it outputs viewed with skepticism and carefully reviewed as it would be for an external human contributor to the project who could even be actively malicious. Claiming we're shipping LLM slop is one of many blatant lies they're telling about us.
annoyed at the blue-fox-news level of discourse around "ai" opposition in a lot of the online. ed zitron is uh entertaining sometimes but for fuck's sake platform serious folks like DAIR instead
(I barely follow fandoms so it's mostly from mangas and well… those can age)
@ai6yr I may be the only person on your feed to have heard of Blues Project. I have the Projections LP (bought new, way back). I'm still a fan of that LP, which is...eclectic. Listen to Two Rains Running and Flute Thing to see what I mean.
@ai6yr @bosquebill I think I recognize her from the movie The Party with Peter Sellers.
This emotional rollercoaster brought to you by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada. I hope you enjoyed the ride. I did not.
Time to make a cake and watch my kids carve pumpkins. Holy shit what a week.
@sundogplanets I wonder if this is related to PHP, 4, Claude backdoor, or a secret fourth thing

@jwildeboer oh very nice 😊 I know why I love this Country. Next visit is end of February
"As they reviewed EA’s portfolio for the next few years, the company’s executives found themselves with two sci-fi action games that were each projected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars: Star Wars Battlefront III and the next Mass Effect title. They chose to invest in Star Wars and shut down BioWare as a result, said the people familiar, speaking anonymously because they were not authorized to talk to the press.
"Star Wars Battlefront III has not even begun development yet, but EA executives saw it as a less risky, more predictable bet than a new Mass Effect."
@jalefkowit If there was only some way to figure out how EA got so much debt that they have to lay off all these people....
Hey is there like. A website. That two people can connect to. And it does a P2P/STUN/TURN thing and sends the file from the one to the other. "Magic Wormhole". Or something. Is that a thing that exists. Or do I have to set it up myself. Please do not recommend to me a website where I can upload a multi-gigabyte file to a server and then another person downloads it from the server
Zac from infinite digits also wrote a p2p that's nifty but has rebuilt his sites so I can't link it. Sigh.
#Ilmastonmuutos etenee vauhdilla. Me lähestytään CO2 osalta ilmakehässä jo 10-20 milj. vuoden takaisen mioseenin aikaisia lukemia.
Sieltä vei n.15 miljoonaa vuotta, et lukemat tippui esiteollisen ajan lukuihin.
Meret oli silloin esimerkiksi 30-40m nykyistä korkeammalla.
Tiede ei voi vielä sanoa varmasti mihin toi ylimääräinen CO2 tulee nyt menenään ja joidenkin mallien mukana saattaa olla luvassa pitkä lämpenemisen jakso, vaikka me lopetettaisiin päästöt nyt.

@fogti Where are you getting a version of links that supports javascript?
@mcc ah okay, I don't.
But starting from Links (or some fork of that) and extending that with javascript support still would imo be a better starting point. Tho I haven't tried to pull that off yet because writing and maintaining a browser seemed like too much effort to me.
You can tell the lackadaisy animated pilot is a faithful adaption of the comic cus there's so much talent on display that it feels almost unfair, leave some for the rest of us, will ya?

@silverpill@mitra.social @harblinger@wizard.casa what variant are you on? typically when i'm auditing i go adversarial between 3 models until they meet consensus, then i hand validate the poc(s). we should talk shop the three of us sometime .
@alice @harblinger Mostly on glm-5.3-flash. I also tried to play with glm-5.3 but haven't noticed any difference.
