A friend in Charlotte is looking for these paintings. They were mistakenly given away late on Saturday night / early Sunday at Cook Out on S Tryon (near Woodlawn). They're offering >$1k if recovered.
I’d add Simplenote to the list. Text only although you can add images via markdown image URLs. It’s multi device and syncs well.
I moved from Evernote to Simplenote many years ago and use it for reference info that I may want to search for later or for daily todos and priorities whenever my moleskine is not at hand and transfer later when it is.
Guessing the next word in a sentence because hundreds of millions of examples tell it to isn’t really that amazing.
The best and most concise explanation (and critique) of LLMs in the known universe.
Beautiful. What’s the difference between a 513 and a 509?
Climate change isn’t just about the weather. It’s about the shit we all do as humans - burning squeezed dinosaur juice and other fossil fuels - that is causing global warming and the extreme as fuck weather we’re now seeing, feeling, smelling and fleeing (until there’s nowhere left to flee to).
And that most definitely is political, Florida man.
When I lived in SF, my car was broken into over 10 times. SF police arrested the thieves zero times. And yet SF police WERE able to arrest a citizen who was stopping thieves. I know that policing SF is a tough job but ffs cut this guy some slack and view his actions for what they are - frustration that SF police are failing to (a) stop and catch thieves and (b) engage effectively with the community to prevent crime. They should view this as an indication that the community wants to do more than they are being asked. If SF police took advantage of this desire effectively, their jobs would be much easier and our lives much better. But instead, we’ll just arrest the guy.
Yeah good point on the potentially skewed demographics. Hundreds of $$ per ticket are gonna price out most baseball fans. Also priced out many families. The HR Derby is a perfect event for kids but my guess is about 5% were kids. My boy was getting elbowed out of getting autographs by some thirty-somethings in Birkenstocks. Backing up your point.
A group of A’s fans attempted to stage a protest at the ASG in Seattle. The goal was to get everyone to stand silently in the 5th inning and then chant “Sell the team”.
It was a pretty lame response but probably not unexpected given that we’re not in Oakland. I didn’t see anyone stand, at least not for the protest. There was some chanting in the 5th and then again when Rooker was up in the 8th. Not enough to make a dent in anyone’s opinion I’d guess.
What was surprising was the negativity from some Seattle fans. I heard from many locals something like “Oakland sucks, move to Vegas”. Surprising because you’d think Seattle sports fans would get the pain of losing a team given the ‘Sonics.
I get the desire to try and get a national platform, but at this point, protesters really need to focus their efforts where it matters most, in Oakland. Otherwise, as on Tuesday, it looks like the baseball world is apathetic to the A’s plight.
So true. If a Google team cannot show a believable path to a $1 billion ARR business, your team’s project gets shut down. Unless it falls within strategic priorities which are pretty much just search and ads (eg. this is why Android continues to get support - because it represents mobile defense of Google’s lead in search and ads, not because the phone business on its own is worthwhile to Google).

FWIW I don’t think this is necessarily a bad way to run a company. Focus resources on your core competencies. But it really sucks as a user of their non-search-related products.
This. When you buy an iPhone, the phone is the product. When you buy an android phone, you are the product.

Guy is just a bad candidate. Whether it’s a lie or a screw up, who cares - he’s just not good. And this is the best alternative to Trump that the Republicans can produce. Vomit.
