Time lapse of the cats while we were in New York a few months ago. Wily does a lot more than Bonus. Since then, Bonus has gotten heart and blood pressure medication and does a little more running around, but most of his day is still shifting nap positions.Comments

I was all prepared to get all into ugly troubleshooting territory with Plex, which has a transcoding failure every time I've tried to play something lately. I tried rebooting the Pi that it runs on last time and still got them.Comments
So, I thought it was some kind of permissions thing and was looking at seeing if it was really using the transcode directory I set it to use, I was also prepared for the ugly truth that some Plex update made it so that a low-power computer like this wouldn't be able to transcode as well and started looking at mini PCs.
It just started working again. Why? I have no idea. There was an additional reboot between the last time it didn't work and now. Maybe the new rule should be always double reboot. -
To look inside this black box, we analyzed Google’s C4 data set, a massive snapshot of the contents of 15 million websites that have been used to instruct some high-profile English-language AIs, called large language models, including Google’s T5 and Facebook’s LLaMA. (OpenAI does not disclose what datasets it uses to train the models backing its popular chatbot, ChatGPT)Comments
Content from smidgeo.com provides the 616,898th most tokens in that data set. Weirdly, Miller Puckett’s site, which is a treasure trove of actual information, provides the 864,434th most tokens. He is one of the foremost experts in the world on computer music and has a classic textbook on his site in html! By volume, smidgeo.com is mostly bot-generated text, almost entirely non-factual.
We already knew these models are not good at facts. Absorbing tips like this probably doesn’t help. -
Did the ab and back PT. Then I sneezed so hard that one of my abs hurt. That’s basically extra PT.Comments

The guy just made his own lunch! Hot dogs (I lifted the hot pot off the stove for him), mango, chips, Hawaiian bread, milk.Comments
He did a better job than I did of making my ramen, which boiled over and made a mess. -

To the modern reader, this seems an odd detail to highlight, but William came from a world in which uroscopy— the examination of urine for the purpose of diagnosis and prognosis — was one of a doctor’s most valued skills. The link was so strong that the urine flask became the identifying symbol of the late medieval physician, who was often shown examining a sample.
There's some impressive diagrams and drawings in that article. -
SFW (except for the URL) article by someone that worked for the biggest tech company behind porn sites.Comments
When you work at a company that is doing well, that showers employees with generous pay and a sense of belonging, you become saturated with the sense that what you’re doing is right. Even as performers shouted from rooftops that we were destroying their livelihoods and people begged us to remove videos that showed them in their most intimate moments without consent, those negatively impacted by Manwin were shrugged off as an afterthought, unfortunate collateral damage to a great undertaking.
That quote could apply to experiences at Spotify or any large tech company that serves content. -

It’s sort of surprising that watching fire is relaxing because it’s extremely fast-moving.Comments
