@fell IDK how familiar you are with Python or ML libraries in Python, but for "real" applications (not learning the basics) all of the actual computation of the model is pushed down to native code. Python remains useful as the glue language, as it always has done

Anyone hiring? I'm good at tech support and legitimately know just about every programming language there is.
I'm for sale as low as $50k if it's remote (need to get out of my current job ASAP)

Beto is always watching. May the gators in this area — his territory — never know rest.

I need your help…
NPR is leaving Twitter but they are planning to focus on Instagram
We need to tell them to join the Fediverse
Many of their journalists’ accounts, as well as their main account, haven’t been active on mastodon. Tell them how much we need them here. (In fact, they should have their own instance)
Use the link, tell NPR we are waiting for them here and spread the word far and wide:

Just got the notice on a kernel upgrade about #eBPF being disabled by default for unprivileged users (yeah, I don't upgrade this server often enough). I thought it was kinda crazy unprivileged users were allowed to use it in the first place.

Not long ago, the enormous Haast's eagle soared over New Zealand.
Weighing almost 40lbs (18kg) with a wingspan up to ~10ft (3m), they likely feasted on the gigantic moa birds I described in an earlier post. Maori oral tradition also suggests they may have attacked human children.
So what happened to this fierce apex predator? Once the moa disappeared due to excess hunting after the arrival of people, Haast’s eagle followed around 1400. https://nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/haasts-eagle. #SharedPlanet #science #nature
#lichess review interface is sooo annoying. why would you put the button that resets to the start of the game right next to the "back" button? why do it?

Could we maybe stop shaming people for reading kids’ books? Adult books are full of sad people having affairs while kids’ books have magic wardrobes and worms driving around in apples; you tell me who’s winning.

Tied up surprisingly well in the end. Will post a proper review later.

Mercury is at it's greatest elongation tonight, so it's a good time to try to look at it. It is setting with the sun so don't look at the sun, especially not with your eyes or anything.
@ianthomas dang, the royal family is way OP with all that kit😆 at least it can't all be equipped at once

Had a stupid idea. It worked. Thanks, ChatGPT!

Here is a list of items of regalia belonging to the Crown Jewels, with descriptions as if they were magical items in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign:
@tokensane I'm not clear on how the course was degraded if students understand the course material at the end. My question would be on whether the students discriminated between correct and incorrect assertions the LLM constructed when they wrote their essays. It's like, when I use glide typing on my phone keyboard: I can still identify and correct errors while saving some effort in typing. Another analogy I like is to the calculator: if I don't know which calculations to do, or if I input the wrong numbers, my lack of knowledge will still show on examination when I fail to realize my answer doesn't check out.
