Yeah and it unfortunately succeeded, so I’m surprised it is still around.

What the hell kind of crap is that writing?

Also, I’m surprised this is even this a thing, I thought he’d abandoned the boring company years ago.

Well they inherited a market that was golden for the Boomers and GenX

Sadly, those two groups, instead of continuing to fight for workers rights like generations before them, grandfathered their rights into contracts in exchange for sacrificing our rights.

I’m sure there are zero side effects from loading up clouds with salt crystals.

Like, salt water rain, for example. Given that what we put up into clouds comes back eventually, usually as rain.

It’s a core problem with image generator LLMs. For some fucking reason they seem to have fed them the content from sites that had a lot of porn. Guessing Imgur and Deviantart.

Literally the first time I tried to use MS’s image generator, was out with some friends trying a new fried chicken place and we were discussing fake tinder profiles.

So I thought to try it and make a fake image of “woman senuously eating fried chicken”.
Content warning, blah blah blah.

Try “Man sensuously eating fried chicken”. Works fine.

We were all mystified by that. I went back a few days later to play around. Tried seeing what it didn’t like. Tried generating “woman relaxing at park”.
Again, content warning. Switch to a man, no problem. Eventually got it to generate with “woman enjoying sunset in a park.” Got a very dark image, because it generated a completely nude woman T-posing in the dark.

So, with that in hand I went back and started specifying “fully clothed” for a prompt involving the word “woman”. All of a sudden all of the prompts worked. They fed the bot so much porn that it defaulted women to being nude.

Adapt to it as best we can. Minimize your use of fossil fuels, particularly Natural Gas(Methane). Get some books on farming to understand a worst case need to live off grid.

We’re past the point that we can go back. The glaciers on Antarctica and Greenland are in a self-sustaning melt cycle at this point.

Yay, does this mean that Google is going to stop saying the masked email address is the sender and hide the true email address?

You know, like MS has done for over 15 years now?

Please don’t create straw man arguments.

I never said cold turkey or abstinence. I said “no drug use in the free apartment.”

No. The rehab is free.
Province is even putting people up in apartments.

Only rule is: no drugs in the apartment and you enroll in a free rehab program. 80% are turning it down willingly.

Oh yeah, its his party, he’s just the face.
It’s the offshoot of the same party that led Albert Einstein to distance himself from the concept of Israel back in the late 1940s.

Also, allegedly that most of the reason Hamas got to execute their October 7th plot in the first place was that Bibi had all of those soldiers off intimidating the judges that were overseeing his multiple criminal trials

You realize that Netenyahu and his fascist Likud party are the ones responsible for eliminating democracy in Israel?

Until he faces consequences for this, there is no downside to him.

And the longer it takes for there to be consequences, the better it is for him when they happen, as it is increasingly attributed to him “being right” to his cult.

Before that they have to figure who actually owns the ship. Which may or may not be easy.

Didn’t say they couldn’t afford them. They didn’t want to pay that expense

If you think for a second they’re actually doing anything to these people, I have the deed to a bridge in Baltimore I want to sell you

Fun fact time: in the 18th and 19th century Britain, postal service was fast enough to have Charles’s reply back the same day, with enough time for Edward to make up some fun British insult and write it down and send it off.

Cats are subtle gestures.
E.g. their slow blink thing conveys so much information. How fast you do it, how long you hold it, the tilt of your head. It all ties into the message.

Time to make and market a package of 30,000 10 frame long 100 pixel x 100 pixel random videos.

At what point is a sauce not a curry, soup or drink?

Bug your indian friends by calling Ketchup a tomato curry.

Unfortunately its all in person knowledge from living in the area.

Coast Salish Agriculture: permanent exhibit at UBC Botanical Garden. Specifically how they cultivated groves of Garry Oak trees.

Searching Garry Oak or Garry Oak Tree turns up a fair bit of resources to read there.

In general, a bit to read about a non PNW native agriculture is a short excerpt in The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. He talks about what we consider the “natural state” of the island of Manhattan. To paraphrase: If you consider it plains or meadow, that’s not the natural state. That state was one created and managed by native people in the area when European explorers and settlers arrived.

As for their use of the western red cedar. Again, in person. For in person visits and information I would recommend:
• Grouse Mountain maintains a small collection, as well as some respectable Alpine-ish hiking in the summer.
• Sea To Sky Gondola in Squamish, BC: tourist attraction run by the local native band.
• The best would of course be the UBC Museum of Anthropology. Edit: which works with the native groups to display/restore/preserve artifacts. Its not just pilfered stuff.
