Yeah Seneca Village wasn’t on the waterfront, it was right in the middle of the island. Plus, if you put a park on the waterfront, then the poors can enjoy the space without letting the wealthy monopolize it.

Don’t spend a ton of money on the sunglasses unless you need Rx sunglasses. Fancy name brand sunglasses are a scam - they’re all owned by the same company that creates a false sense of competition between their brands. This allows them to keep prices up on Ray-Ban and other expensive brands. Look up Luxxotica.

If you’re purchasing sunglasses for daily wearing and you know you’ll be wearing or carrying them into situations, just get a comfortable pair of cheapo polarized sunglasses from Walmart. Expensive sunglasses lose value as soon as they’re purchased and if you scratch them, they’ll be functionally and financially worthless from that point forward. Comfort is the most important thing, followed closely by style.

It sounds like this is a big deal. I thought most AI models were built this way already though, as operating systems for LLM prompt generation. This seems like an iteration of that that includes an ability to store certain data it’s referring to frequently as “facts”, and let other data degrade over time to allow it to learn new things. Is that accurate?

Mine sounds like a snare drum.

I planned a big expensive vacation a long time ago that’s due to start in a week. I was excited about that until last Friday, when I learned that we’re getting kicked out of our apartment in 60 days so that it can be renovated and rented out again for probably double the price. I just want to live in the town that’s been my home all my life, but rents for any acceptable place are 2-3k+ a month. Last week sucked.

Saving this to remember the scotch line for later, and also to tell you that you should watch FDR: American Badass if you haven’t already.

Me. I need LSD. But not if I’m going to that garden, that place is way too much. Give me a peaceful park or a little forested glade.

King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard. Their live shows kick ass and they’ve got such amazing chemistry together. Love listening to them jam.

I can believe that he didn’t remember diming on his pedo buddy in 2019. Dementia is a bitch.

Don’t fuck around with Black Mesa, boys. Do you want a resonance cascade? Because this is how you get a resonance cascade.

Wasn’t this months ago? Some watchdog.

Love this album. It’s the music that plays when the time finally arrives:

As I walk home from work on a dreary day, suddenly the clouds split apart, and in the warm light of a new day a clockwork dirigible bears down upon me. A beautiful androgyne, resplendent in a dashing suit of the color of burnished gold, leans down from the deck with a white gloved hand and grabs my eagerly lifted palm. I am borne away from this world of pain and sorrow on wings of song to take my place in the skies.

This is awesome

In America, not every school is staffed to the point where they can have someone sit on phones all day. Most schools around me are working on shoestring budgets, and I’m in a fairly cosmopolitan area of California. It’s even worse if you’re in a rural area because there’s no incentive to get good teachers there through pay rates or bonuses or anything like that. God help your kids if you’re in a red state. They are giving emergency teaching credentials to anyone with a pulse.

I play ukulele because when I miss a note or get a beat wrong it just makes me laugh because it sounds so silly. I got a banjolele too and that thing is ridiculous, but when it works it sounds awesome.

Hopefully you’ve picked up some ear protection since then! Drums are loud AF and if you’ve already got hearing issues, drums will make them worse. +1 for Loop earplugs if you need some.
