Philosophy made me ignorant of everything except my own ignorance. My advice would be avoid it like the plague if you want to really know anything ever again.

A clock, wot I did design&make, mostly wooden. Grasshopper escapement, 1m pendulum. A bit dusty, cos it's a bit of a bugger to dust.

He appears very weak and sick..

Dr Hussam abu Safiyeh appeared today in the Israeli High Court in occupied Jerusalem..

@GrayWolfBG1 Currently everyone is crossing the Rubicon because the want to stay out of jail. They just don't know which side is the one that will do that.

[Piers C. Structures (@pcstru.bsky.social) @pcstru]

@GrayWolfBG1 To be fair, I'm not sure the USA would look much less right wing fascist if the Military took over. Maybe just a smidgen. Trumps play is keep them occupied and build up a separate domestic paramilitary with a detention system.

@wreckmyshit @sudoingX "Run what you brung" - it is not like processors and GPUs say - Oh, yum, linux - lets bring out the special instruction set that we save just for that!

@sudoingX Because what, llama.cpp is some fundamentally kind of different math on Windows? Seems to work OK. Perhaps if you describe your actual problem, someone could help ;-).

BREAKING:

Israeli settlers are burning Taybeh in occupied Palestine.

A village that has stood for thousands of years.

A place where Jesus once walked.

Home to the oldest living Christian community in the world.

And not a peep from Western mainstream media.

@asaio87 Can't 1 shot a playable pinball yet. Trying cost close to $3 for 600 lines of code. Fuck that! DS Pro can also fail, but for a fraction of that!

@EV_Trapper If what you say is true, then loop/goal disappears, right? as models get more 'intelligent' vs provided context, then individual antigenic automation becomes simple genuine agency via tool calls - "oh, I do need to look that up".

@BLUECOW009 How long does that take? When you switch languages, are you learning to code again or just absorbing it's contractual and syntactic demands? After 4 decades and more languages than I care to remember; that may get boring vs patterns than can be communicated in a book or two.

@calmeilles @Gypsypup13 I'm surprised at that (not the UK part!). 400c+ demands good insulation and at size, the cost or mass of that becomes a big issue. So UK you see small commercial units vs DIY firebrick furnace, unless you can drop a small fortune.

@babadookspinoza They want to spend government money on Private sector and then complain they have nothing left ... for people. It's the GDP game - favoured of western neo-liberals.

@StanWillenbring @LyleLewis__Real For no particular reason reminds me I must put something on the play-the-whole-ablum play list.

@AstraiaAI Depends how fast you need to get something done (ans what that something is) and how much cash you can throw at a "one off" hardware + running costs, vs API.

[Piers C. Structures (@pcstru.bsky.social) @pcstru]

@sri9s Both can be true. We had big tech bubbles before that burst; companies went to the wall, the underlying technology stayed and evolved.

@jig_corp Moving faster than you can communicate or entirely comprehend. The former is the risk, the latter has always been an issue for any frontier development but at least you had time to say "I don't know".

@SonOfDavid219 @knowRowan Ex (codex) : 1. Tell me about this code/app in terms of (architecture/state management/logging etc). 2. Lets focus in on ... 3. Lets identify scope for ... 4. Plan a test scenario ... etc; Target an .md/html to build the context you need. Then use to plan for change.

@johncrickett Look at the trend, see if you can peg your use case within the space and then estimate when the trend reads "fine now" at your use case. If you think "never", then what in principle is the block?

[Piers C. Structures (@pcstru.bsky.social) @pcstru]

@SonOfDavid219 @knowRowan Heh. I mean before you ask an AI to make changes or give some "cognitive response", prepare the context carefully.
