Came to say the exact same thing, the only scam (with any real college, no for-profit/etc. colleges) is the cost. If you can go for cheap/can afford it, college is a great thing to do and a great way to better yourself.

It reminds me of when Netflix was big and I told everyone they’d have commercials eventually. Sure you can still buy a plan without commercials, but I suspect that eventually, when money gets really tight for them, will go away.
Same thing here. Right now passkeys are “open”, but who is to say my bank won’t require a Apple/Google managed passkey in the future. Hell, I can’t run the bank app without running a Apple/Google approved apk.


The biggest issue with TLJ that I don’t see brought up a lot is that it left no where for the story to go.
We enter the movie with the First Order the only force in the galaxy after only destroying a few planets in the last movie, and somehow the resistance is even smaller than it was before.
We end the movie without really anything changing (except the resistance is even smaller - like 20 people).
Unless it was going to be four movies, TLJ doesn’t leave a lot of directions for the story. It basically has to be Rey trying to decapitate the head of the First Order by killing Ben. Rise of Skywalker fails because TLJ didn’t do anything to move the plot, forcing two movies worth of plot into one.


No its about traditional physics based models vs Machine Learning models (or AI). Google’s model isn’t using LLMs, but still uses deep learning models to predict the weather. Per the article:
At that point, many of the physics-based computer models, which rely on mathematical equations describing how the atmosphere works to simulate future weather conditions, were vacillating between different projections but generally forecasting a weaker storm that would take a different track than the DeepMind and other AI models were showing.
The original commentors point is valid in that we just call everything AI right now. While it’s not a terrible term for ML models, the general public largely associates AI with LLMs which is a misnomer.


I run Kogma alongside AudioBookShelf, but have ended up reading most manga directly from AudioBookShelf. The reader is hit or miss, but syncing works great and you can download comics/books for when youre on the go (and it will also sync progress when you reconnect).
The major downside is AudioBookshelfs opinions on directory structure. Requires a fair amount of work reorganizing content.


Just recently finished Big Hops.
Its a really good 3D platformer that gives slight Mario Odyssey vibes in terms of big open world areas to explore. A lot od good movement mechanics and feels fresh from start to finish.


Yeah, there are implicit and explicit biases at every stage of these models. The training data they collect, how they clean and use their training data, the actual training methodology, the prompts to literally alter the final output.
That’s not to mention the main things LLM aren’t aware of, which is who are you as a person. An LLM doesn’t know nor can it understand your life experiences and how that shapes your opinions on who is best to represent you. Handing over cognition like this is basically throwing away your vote as you’ve forfeited one of the major methods you have to influence your government.


Glad to hear I’m not the only person who has had some difficulties. And yeah, you are right that it should be fine for hosting services, which is why I mentioned my specific use cases.
However, I think calling out lack of support is always a good thing as you never know what support you may need down the road. I definitely have run into some issues due to their supported OS I’m running and its surprisingly out of date for a board that only released a couple years ago.


Yeah, looking at the stats, it’s actually probably one of the safer days for kids to be pedestrians given the amount of extra miles walked by kids on Halloween.
You’d really want this to be fatalities by miles walked, rather than raw fatalities.


I was going to complain that the orangepi wasn’t $350+, but didn’t realize the fully maxed 6 is that much. That’s crazy how much single board computers have gotten.


Just shared my experience on the post you replied to, but basically the support/documentation for the orangepi isn’t great and has cost me a lot of time and forced me to use workarounds to get some things working (GPIO, NPU, cameras, etc.)


OrangePi support is terrible. Maybe it’s better with the 5, but the 4 I’ve struggled with getting a library to work with the GPIO pins, documentation on the NPU is limited, and I can’t get it to recognize a standard serial camera.
It’s possible I’m just trying to do weird things, but it’s a much worse experience than I’ve ever had with a raspberry pi and I regret not spending more to just get the pi. I’ve lost probably 10+ hours just trying to deal with some things I’d consider basic, and had to create weird workarounds that hurt performance in other areas.


I like how you call out West Side Story where it is one of the rare pieces of media that highlights how dangerous a knife is. The whole lead up to the gang fight they’re saying no weapons as knives are a big deal. In the fight, I think only one or two people pull out a knife. And from recollection, once a knife comes out, it moves pretty quickly to someone getting stabbed once/dies/gang fight disperses cause “wholly shit someone’s got a knife and killed someone”.
Like I understand that yeah there is a lot of dancing in the movie, but once the knife comes out things turn pretty serious. Unlike something like Crocodile Dundee where they’re comparing knife sizes.


It’ll be interesting to see if they ever release the statement she originally made, as the claim the DA was making is that her statement (her recollection of the events) never amounts to anything legally defined as rape.


This is an issue with a lot of these kinds of cases (where a lot of drinking and drugs are involved). Based on the summary of her statements, the first two guys she willingly hooked up with were probably too intoxicated to consent by most people’s standards. One passed out basically during sex and the other was dry heaving/throwing up shortly after.
At the end of the day, the biggest issue is you’re going to struggle to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that any person’s story is reliable.


Kinda makes you wonder about the whole concept when no one wants to be involved.
I wonder if it was like jury duty and anyone could be randomly selected to be the executioner if support for the death penalty would change.
Edit: By wonder, I mean it somewhat flippantly. Like “maybe this ain’t such a grand idea if no one wants to be anywhere near it”
I’m pretty good at blocking out a lot of advertisements, as in never load/watch content without them, but still feel like my attention span has been zapped since I was younger.
To me it definitely feels like phones in general are the big issue. Something you can quickly pick up for a little dopamine hit whenever you want.


Damn, that looks good!


That’s one of the tools that’s been referred for years, but never really works that well. It can sharpen things, but won’t improve a video/image that’s poor quality.
This is like the like the “9 women in one month to make a baby” comment.
There is only so much you can distribute the layers of a model due to interconnectedness. And you can’t run multiple inferences at the same time because the next token relies on the previous.
You could be doing multiple things at once, but each task will run “100,000x” if the OC did their math right.
