I just want to take the time to say how much I HATE the new macOS Tahoe. I updated yesterday. I HATE IT ! With a burning passion.
I watched some videos about the history of macOS. Tiger was probably the best looking version, after that it started to slowly degrade.

A major problem with using LLMs to learn things:

Me: "A is true, therefore B is false, right?"

LLM: "Right! Here's a ton of detail to confirm your belief."

Me: "Actually, A is false; B is true."

LLM: "Exactly right! Here's more detail to confirm that belief."

This is utterly brilliant. A student accuses @jk_rowling of being transphobic. This teacher skilfully dissects the claim and challenges it by asking questions.

He teaches not what to think, but how to think critically.

Watch until the end.
You see the epiphany in real-time.

@jartine @llamafile @cj_pais Indeed, he is doing a great job. But llama.cpp is moving fast.

You are spending too much time with an LLM if this joke hits the spot!

The only thing that's melting 17 times faster in Greenland is climate alarmists' lack of supporting data.

Politicization of climate science has "set back the field probably a few generations."
