Note that article _is_ the best explanation of ML I've seen. Their last paragraph tries to tie it to GenAI ("ML but words") but glosses over a huge mountain of stuff not the least being the whole "generative" thing.

AI bros love to conflate them since ML has proven extremely useful in many industries, such as anywhere inspections* are required. GenAI ... We'll see. *Search for the "how it's made" video on potato chips, ML is shown inspecting product as fast as it pours by.

This is machine learning, a subset of AI that has been around at least since the 80s and doesn't take ridiculous amounts of resources. I'm not certain how exactly generative AI is related to this other than many many orders of magnitude more computing power.

I feel for you. (We didn't either until relatively recently)

Wegmans in NoVA
Wegmans unsalted sweet cream butter sticks, $2.79/lb. Not actually far off, but I wouldn't use it in crudites.

Primary weapon is missiles, but carries a bare handful more than an Arleigh-Burke

They are in the design stage, my guess is they will be canceled before the first keel is laid. Price tag double that of a whole-ass aircraft carrier, and weapons that were abandoned as unworkable half a decade ago (rail guns).

Will be interesting to see how it has to be reported come tax time.

Why would Russia bother physically attacking us when they are having so much success sowing propaganda?

He would need both houses of Congress to pass the law. Not sure he has that much pull at this point, especially if Dems filibuster.

AI would have gotten the phrase right. Mixing it up like that requires actual human creativity. Or speech to text.

Considering I will usually let my clothes sit in a laundry basket for a week, 6 hours might be worthwhile in my case. 😂

See this is the bit I have trouble with, the hastily put together package. The only reason it was hasty was because 🍊 wanted to attack Iran _right now_ because he _wanted_ to, that's why. We were not being attacked, there was no reason not to pause and check the target list.

Another amazing discovery by Claude AI! New enzymes! Nobody’s ever seen them before! (gift link) Except for a human researcher using Claude. What’s the saying? Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me! It’s a collective “me,” of course, the scientists and mathematicians who have been using the AI systems. And [&hellip;]

In some cases a necktie is the literal opposite of safety. If they were taking me on a tour where there is spinning machinery, damn straight the tie is going in a pocket.
