Homesteading, or just growing your own food, is a great idea.

However, if you simply buy fresh meat and produce then you’ll have an amazing diet.

Oh thank god… so the queen’s still alive?

Just in time for autumn!

Now it can hold even more energy.

It’s beautiful

At first I was angry when I read this (because I’m sick of loss), but then I thought it’s oddly fitting.

It’s so dumb. I’m obviously going to keep using non-proprietary headphones. Even if I have to buy a whole docking station with an aux jack.

I love this

I don’t even notice Debian, which is exactly how an operating system should work.

And yet…

Don’t care. Want ports.

They’re emotionally parallel.

But now my OCD is triggered, thanks.

nice

I’ve never seen a haircut that looks infected before.

I know now manufacturers would love to just sell you a dongle add-on or two that plugs into your USB-C port and has all of the other useful ports on it you actually need

I had to get one of these for my previous work laptop.

I still use my T420 because of the nice keyboard. Something like that plus usb-c would be amazing.

People still know what LLMs are, and they know that it’s a subset of AI. If the internet is swamped with bots actively trying to set linguistic habits for marketing reasons, you’re not required to perpetuate and validate that.

Shills and goons are trying to make “AI” refer to LLMs specifically. It’s an ad campaign. You’re not getting paid to perpetuate this stupidity.

AI remains a broader field of study, an active field of study which tons of people are invested in, and they use AI to refer to the broader field of study in which they’re professionally invested.

I’m just describing how language works.

No you’re not. And you’re not as smart as you think you are.

If everyone says a word means a thing

It’s not literally everybody, and you know it, and you also know that LLMs are not the entire actual category of AI.

So are you saying that a slur (for Black people, for example) is linguistically “correct by definition” ? And it actually describes members of the demographic?

This hype cycle is insane, and the gross psychology of the hype obscures the real usefulness of LLMs.

If people use [slur] to refer to [demographic] that does not make it correct by definition.
