Like vinegar with pickles! But only for the things that were meant to last for a while - if it was just for next month, then you don't need BPA liners or microplastic dissolvers or any of that junk. Just a fully recyclable can that vacuum seals itself shut using the power of machinery and heat. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1499 ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: food-mentioned │ └──────────────────────┘ (stewed marinaras are still delicious) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1500 ╔════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌──────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: LLM-mentioned │ │ ║ └──────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ If you create an LLM that can explain data, then you can use it to explain the │ ║ results of the last computation it ran. │ ║ │ ║ If you could also train that LLM (a statistical model) to generate data, │ ║ through the setting of options in a config file that create the result that you │ ║ define through your interactions with it (and based on the data that it │ ║ explains to the user that is read from the file on the computer that it's │ ║ computing from) │ ║ │ ║ then you could create a generalized personal assistant.

Minus the goatee. Horses are very dynamic, and cowboys are quite mysterious. _^ ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1502 ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── @user-1010 kinda makes me wonder how those mature kids are doing now. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1503 ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: vague-gesturing-at-paranoia-I-think │ └─────────────────────────────────────────┘ part of me kinda wants to be the kind of nerd that writes down the names of every file that's permanently stored on my computer so that I can verify in my own handwriting or perhaps using a type of code that the files on my computer were placed there intentionally and not used to discredit or implicate me in something I had no intentions of being associated with phew idk what that means but surely it's important something something "file creation dates are just bits to be flipped" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1504 ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── @user-1013 posting any kind of link to externally hosted content (even a miniature DNS like link shorteners) is risky because you don't control the data you're sharing / pointing to. If you can, try and remember to download videos you like. Save songs that resonate with you. Take screenshots of important tweets that other people make. Then, you can share them when they're thoroughly divorced from the context in which they were made, and in doing so share information to a group of people who might not otherwise have heard the words you're sharing. Like posting Mastodon links on Facebook - can you imagine! ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
