Hi-viz, you say?

I think there’s a really important distinction between “getting the same result” when that outcome is guaranteed and when it isn’t. Using a brick instead of a hammer to squash something will get you the same result every time. But with an LLM there’s no guarantee you’re going to get any specific outcome - will it hallucinate this time or not? - and so even if it gives you what you wanted this time, you have to account for the probability that existed it would not have done (and that you wouldn’t have known it let you down)

I was questioning the use of the word “prolly”

“Prolly”

Reece’s persona is barely contained anger, and it feels like that’s not at all far from his personality…

Deliberate destruction of property to influence the government, with an ideological cause. I dunno - not hard to see the people behind this having an ideology and wanting to influence the government with their destructive act

What conversation do you believe you’re in? This is for UK chat about fish and chip shops.

And the answer to the question should have nothing whatsoever to do with a “fish guy” (FFS), but rather is a chip butty or chips and mushy peas

*To work really hard so that you can hand it all straight to banks

That looks like it would just about hold an old-school Palm Pilot or Psion - I can’t see it holding even a small MacBook in that space

Bran flakes have a lot of sugar in them. I’m sure Special K does too, but I love it too much to risk checking

This is one of his best. Love the overwrought emotions in his hand in the last frame

You’ll probably have more luck if you look for prescription cycling glasses - all of which should also be good for running. The market just seems to be bigger for cycling, to the extent I’ve often seen prescription glasses advertised in cycling magazines, but I can’t recall ever seeing glasses marketed at runners

This CD was basically the soundtrack to my university years

Totally unrelated though, and just a coincidence. The word meme in the way we use it today was coined by Richard Dawkins in (IIRC) The Extended Phenotype. I presume it’s an abbreviation of Mental Gene, or something like that. The idea was that a meme is an idea or concept that can fight for survival amongst other ideas, just as a gene tries to survive being being a good fit to its environment

Might be the best of the series so far. The stage task was dramatic, and Matthew’s anticlimax well deserved that chef’s kiss

If people are wondering how traffic noise is so deadly, it’s usually things like hypertension and the effects of chronic sleep disturbance

They are the goodest space dogs

Great thread from Ed Zitron with some thoughts on this, and extracts from the suit

One reason I’d like to see Germany held to account is their long-term efforts to push the interests of their car industry, even as it filled the world with overly polluting (and, recently, increasingly over-sized) vehicles

I recently used just some smoked paprika for the same job. It was much nicer than the OEP spice mixture, and a lot cheaper
