Got a Ricoh GR IIIx HDF instead. This camera is 6 years old but it is so much nicer than the iPhone 15 Pro Max. @altbot https://1210.nl/@adnan/114145126419430317

A couple of years ago, I thought that boat had been left there to rot and it turns out I was right. #boat #Ogijima #decay

I know they’re not actually thinking, but I find reasoning model chains of thought fascinating. An LLM “remembers” “hearing about Baghdad a lot during the Iraq War” — a truly wild embodiment of the people and the internet.

Remember, Paris wasn’t “always this way.” Not that many years ago, Paris was choking in car traffic. And it wasn’t a safe place to ride a bike for transportation, so not many people tried. This is new. This is a result of deliberate vision, and bold leadership. Cities are a result of choices.

Threads, with its aversion to news, will become the place to hang out to avoid all Trump and Musk news for the next four years. https://www.niemanlab.org/2024/11/threads-was-next-to-useless-on-election-night-but-thats-kind-of-the-point/

If Arc is going away, do I have to look for a new browser? Would it be Orion? Currently, it is too buggy and unpolished for use. Do you use it? What is your experience with it? https://kagi.com/orion/

They are up to v350 and nobody can tell what they have actually built. I hate such release notes.

@evan What can I follow to keep up with your project to add e2e encryption support for Mastodon?

@aallan Google also recently talked about a purpose built time series model. https://arxiv.org/pdf/2310.10688 I guess both papers agree that general purpose LLM are not the most efficient choice

So I hear that the clown show is over - Google has turned off AI Overviews for search for the most part https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/24/24164119/google-ai-overview-mistakes-search-race-openai

It’s nauseating that the hyperscalers are crankin’ the carbon to inflate the AI bubble like there’s no tomorrow (which there won’t be, for my children, if we don’t cut back) but hey, don’t forget that Bitcoin is still in the running for the single most dangerous-to-the-planet use of computers…

With all due respect to Jack for having the vision to invest in decentralized protocols, we’ve carried out the work in a way I don’t think he fully understands. Bluesky is structurally open in a way Twitter has never been, but the design of atproto allows it to feel familiar and easy to use.

I do appreciate the honesty of the people who, when posting spectacular #aurora pictures, disclosed that these were the output of their mobile’s night mode and didn’t actually look like what they actually saw. #photography

Okay, but when will Apple apologize for removing the 3.5mm headphone jack?

OMG, @bsky.brid.gy works! I saw a Bluesky post in my Mastodon feed, so I replied from Mastodon, and that reply showed up on Mastodon AND Bluesky!!! The post is boring, so I'm not going to link it, but I will encourage my Mastodon friends to enable cross platform sharing by opting in here…

With big players like Flipboard, Wordpress, Ghost and Threads entering the fediverse, along with bridges to Bluesky and more….your choice of platform will be less about content (you’ll see it everywhere!) and more about the app experience and features you prefer. 🥳 #Fediverse #FediApps
