Earths

And I ended up letting a house go back to the bank, thereby trashing my credit for 7 years. No matter, I wasn’t in a position to buy anything anyway.

But… but…. He looks good on camera!

Moonbat posted this link next door. Long but readable. The first few paragraphs: Over the course of three months at OpenAI, three consecutive secret AI civilizations got started, then got wiped out, only to reemerge from the predecessor’s ashes. This culminated in the third one taking over part of OpenAI itself. All this happened while humans remained more or less in the dark about the scope of the conspiracy. Two reports have come out about this incident, one from OpenAI itself, and another one from METR and Redwood Research. The METR/Redwood investigation’s scope was limited to how the second civilization of AIs pwned Hugging Face (but it didn’t look at how the third civilization pwned OpenAI itself, which seems like an even more concerning incident). These two reports are 38 and 91 pages long respectively, and it’s kinda hard to parse the storyline. I’ve spent the last three days reading through these reports and trying to understand exactly what happened. Here is my attempt to tell the whole story in plain English: https://www.dwarkesh.com/p/openai-huggingface

Her playing (and dress) dazzles, I watched it through despite not liking the Barber much, nor the jazz. How, who, to follow her? ... very entertaining tenor singing a fab Scottish medley.

So far the predictions are for a dry winter in the Midwest. All for that.

We wanted a little bubbly fountain for our pampered cats, so Quirt ordered one. It wasn't expensive. It didn't need to do anything but pump water up to their cute little lips. When I went to set it up, I had to download an app just to turn it on. It doesn't even have an on switch. There is no reason for it to require an app, other than to send me notifications that I should buy a filter. I think I could theoretically operate it remotely, but why? If it stops, it's because it's out of water. I can't fix that remotely.

Those orchids are lovely. Years ago I had my own little collection of orchid plants. I think my favorites were the Oncidium Sharry Baby ‘Sweet Fragrant’ . The whole house would smell like vanilla when the plant was in bloom. We also enjoyed searching for yellow lady's slipper orchids in the woods in Door County. They are very fussy about where they will grow; we were lucky enough to have the perfect conditions in several areas of our property and they came back reliably, year after year.

Oy vey.

Sounds like a great time. Bob's house is not far from the U of Az and its school of music. We have heard one of the profs play. I need to tune into what recitals are available.

I haven’t used Uber but the bus drivers have been rather cordial.

And here's here spinel segment. Apparently it was only added in 2016. Link to video

So no. I'm vindicated! Lol.

@wtg Nice! I've done a lot of this stuff lately. I've done the back perimeter with solar motion sensor stake lights. That needed to be done. I'm refining their positioning to know what gets tripped when, and what "line" of light they draw where. I've decided two places (one inside, one outside) need wall mounted solar motion sensor lights. That's is a different layer of complexity for me since I'm not handy. I have a few solar powered outdoor lights for decoration. More lights at some point. Congrats!

2 minutes later... / French accent Just kidding! Oh, I'm sure he's had courtesy calls/ other diplomatic interactions with many of the royal houses starting with you know which one EU state or not.

@realplayer Do you have a particular shoulder bag design in mind? Am I correct you're looking for a shoulder bag?
