Guess I wont be traveling to the UK any time soon, and I am the kind of tourist they want, except for the fact I am trans apparently.

I do have more energy since starting (I bought some on a whim last week). I think this completes the Katie just wants us to be healthy list.

it was kind of eye opening. It just showed how many of them in undergrad never had to do open ended projects or research, where the answer wasn't known. And this was 2017/18 so no GenAI. But still so many cheated, rather than coming to office hours for help

when I was a TA for GRADUATE level courses, the number of computer science students who didn't understand creative problem solving was astonishing. They could solve a problem if it was similar to one they saw previously, but anything complex they had no idea how to start

- people favoring these AI models over doing good engineering work (trying to build general purpose systems rather than dedicated robust solutions
- for my coding, a good small predictive model is often more than enough and faster
- trend towards the median or average solution

As someone who has been researching AI for almost 10 years my main reasons against the current wave are
- Inefficient data use
- the models lack explainability, which limits what they can ultimately do
- overconfidence in what they can do

Unfortunately this is very much one of those things that varies a lot person to person. Would recommend buying really good bike shorts first then tweaking the saddle. As those may provide enough benefit.

Did I pick a different day just to not give katie more power over me, yes. Did I also buy creatine today, yes. You win some, you lose some.

... areas, offered analytical solutions, and so on. But no one wants to listen to those papers. They ignore them and then just do nothing. And I have seen this happen in so many fields, for some reason GenAI makes people think things are possible even when they are not, or already were.

This just shows me how little the current AI idiots in Silicon Valley and politics know, they seem to only think that GenAI can solve problems because the problems were not solved. Well, we have plenty of academic papers using existing non GenAI techniques that have already mapped out problem ...

If you need GenAI to do this, your data scientists are idiots and should be fired. We have decades of network analysis that would just tell you the exact correct answer, without ever having to use GenAI. Also just build transit.

its also a funny view of "labor" were you planning on making money during that time, probably not. There is no opportunity cost in most cases.

My brother has tried to get me to, I may try it at some point. Once I get back to working out I may consider it.

I also already mostly commute by bike, so you wont get me there. Did that to myself years ago.

I also switched to injections after seeing all of your posts about it, did the first one yesterday. First making me actually clean my sink, then this.

This is kind of the trend I expect to see, when you have better awareness of thing your capacity to identify as it or catch it (I work in cybersecurity) goes up. Its not like the underlying truth actually changed, just your ability to perceive it

It took me about 4 or 5 weeks, and I still have a little trouble about 7 weeks out. Icing helps a lot and just moving as much as you can safely handle. And sometimes the pain is just your body being confused about the knew nerve positions.

its a feature, not a bug

If we keep participating in the economy that made this possible then it will just happen again and again. Maybe a different flavor of it, maybe even one you mostly agree with. But if we keep concentrating power, it will continue to happen.

Instead go to National Parks to create long lines and force them to rehire those workers. Support local businesses that actually need the help. Stop supporting media companies that are helping them. If you need a new couch go to resale and thrift stores (it will probably be better anyways).

As much as I like the color yellow, have to go with team 1. Just too strong, regardless of the game.

I switched part of my 401k a few months ago to the international index funds, hopefully that helps a little

that's a really funny definition of harassment, I am fairly certain blocking someones name and ignoring them is almost the exact opposite of harassment.

The fact that I even have to consider it, even if I never emigrating, is so annoying. I finally have a life that I am happy with, and I really don't want to have to find that again.

Also is he standing on a snow field without sunglasses, that is a great way to get snow blindness. Just so stupid.

I need to find where my old CDs went, been moving off of streaming and back to ripping CDs.

My grandmother screamed when we told her I was trans. And keeps "mourning" the loss of her "grandson". So fairly sure she would rather me not be her granddaughter now.

the list never ends, takes a look around my home office: audiophile headphones, home cyber security lab, large format photo printer, wall of various climbing and outdoor gear, fancy split keyboard, various ttrpg books and dice, and so on.
