George White @its.stonehippo.com · 18/09/2026Turns out that do say it, in the FAQ. But I also agree with you that they're hedging A LOT. 130
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 18/09/2026You're right, they're not saying "it's not an LLM". They are trying to make a distinction between Systems One models and other LLM-based systems, based on their training methodology. 000
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 06/09/2026We lost our crazy orange buddy who was about the same age recently. It ain't ever easy. 000
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 04/09/2026I am what I am: a Jersey boy greatly influenced by three decades in New England. 110
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 24/08/2026I got this email from OpenAI and it's baffling. Why would I ask ChatGPT anything when I have a perfectly reliable map app that already does what I need? 010
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 24/08/2026Lovely. I saw a turnstone on a bayside beach on Cape Cod this month, the first one I've seen in years. The last time I got a good shot of one was Sanibel Island. 020
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 12/08/2026Heading in the second whale watch of the year tomorrow, which should be another good test of the new camera. Maybe I'll even get something to rival my favorite humpback shot from last year. 000
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 12/08/2026Having good tools won't make you a master of your craft, but having poor tools won't make it any easier. Still getting used to the R6 Mk iii, but liking what I'm getting from it so far. It's superior to the RP for capturing birds in flight. 100
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 06/08/2026I discovered years ago that Hello Kitty's father and I have the same name. 010

George White @its.stonehippo.com · 21/07/2026Excited for the next step in my photography journey. Thanks for getting this to me a day early, @bhphoto.com! 000
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 20/07/2026Final weekend with my little Canon RP—I'm moving to a newer R6 Mk III and shipping the TO to my brother. I bought my first mirrorless camera for a trip to Yellowstone, and it's helped me make some of my favorite images over the past five years. 101
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 13/07/2026Cleaned up the shed today. Nothing like a good bit of work on a summer Sunday. 000
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 11/07/2026Mostly that's just the lady crabs, Dan, the fellas are smaller (tbf, they're not that small, either) See alt text, too 140
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 27/06/2026We are just days away from an impressive crop of backyard raspberries and I am very excited about that. 110
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 20/06/2026Hey, friends! I'm looking for New England area* folks who are willing to above up their business for some observational research ride-alongs. This is something I love doing as part of service design and UX work, and I haven't done much recently. Time to get back in the saddle. * or beyond, even. 293
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 10/06/2026This charming fellow was hanging out in Danehy Park last week. And it's not the first time. 2140
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 04/06/2026My theory of dog domestication is that wolf puppies discovered that human fingers are the best teething toys. 000
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 01/06/2026Just dug these up. Any old MacBook havers in need of obsolete Mac OS X disks? 000
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 27/05/2026Find something else to discuss for a bit. You love kittens. You have a new hobby, went somewhere new, found love, ended a relationship, made a thing, lost a thing. I don't know what it will be, but whatever it is, please leave 'AI' Out of it. Give it a try. I think we'll all be better off. 041
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 27/05/2026I am proposing the "don't talk or write about 'AI' challenge". The amount of discourse on this topic is exhausting. You love it, you hate it, it's going to change everything, it's just a tool, you use it for this thing, you'd never use it for that thing. Great. I don't need to hear about it. 140
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 19/04/2026The only problem I have encountered so far with @chanda.blacksky.app's The Edge of Space-Time is the staggering number of quotes that I think "man, that's tattoo-worthy so I can remember it every day." 020
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 16/04/2026Another day, another project: created a case for an Arduino-based controller thingie. This one took a couple of tries to get it right, but like the result, especially the cut out buttons. 2130
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 14/04/2026I printed this bracket with tree supports and variable layer heights in about six hours and got a very good print. Before that, I ran off a 1 hour prototype with no supports. Given the deep overhang and six inch bridge, I am amazed it printed at all, let alone with a semi-usable result! 000
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 14/04/2026Continuing to clear out my personal project backlog: today's 3D print was a wall bracket I designed to hold my @raspberrypi.com 400. I've been looking forward to freeing up some desk space. Next up is maybe some cable management. 110
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 13/04/2026Second weekend project: FINALLY printed a front and back plate for the @sparkfun.bsky.social decade resistance box I've had for more than a decade. 000
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 12/04/2026Weekend project: designed, printed, and assembled the case for a @sparkfun.bsky.social signal generator I bought years ago. I think it's pretty spiffy! 0192
George White @its.stonehippo.com · 07/04/2026When I'm not collecting octopus art, I'm creating it. 020
