Summer was unbearably hot, and I decided to commute via a bus with AC instead of a bike, but in september I started using a bike and didn't stop unless there was pouring or there was snow on the ground.

I even in mild rain I just took my bike. First winter season I used a bike at all, not to mention riding in a full face cover, leather or ski gloves with a ski jacket.

I also researched some motorbike rain pants but we're in a decade long drought, so far didn't need them.

One thing tho. If it's raining you better have disk breaks, the clampy ones just slip on wet wheels. I had to re-learn how to stop safely.

Isn't it a Charli XCX song?

TIL Sonnet 3.7 is worse than 3.5. How come?

Any Firefox-based browser can use "Tree style tabs" it's vertical tabs from the time before they were cool. Very customizable.

I just don't ascribe philosophical reasoning and mythical powers to models, just as I don't ascribe physical prowess to train models, because they emulate real trains.

Half of the reason LLMs are the menace they are is the whole "whoa ChatGPT is so smart" common mentality. They are not, they model based on statistics, there is no reasoning, just a bunch of if statements. Very expensive and, yes, mathematically interesting if statements.

I also think it stiffles actual progress, having everyone jump on the LLM bandwagon and draining resources when we need them most to survive. In my opinion, it's a dead end and wont result in AGI, or anything effectively productive.

If I could think I'd be so mad right now.

Statistical models are not intelligence, Artificial or otherwise, and should have no rights.

FYI all ubiquity aps I ever bought broke within 5 years. Ymmv

All of them at once!
