TSA just got my husband’s very nice knife because for some reason it was in my backpack. I have 4 flights before I get back so checking is not an option. The sympathetic officer let me photograph it before he tossed it so I could look up the model and replace it. But the AI will not help me 🙃
A black tactical knife and an AI declining to identify it.

AI providers like Google, OpenAI and Anthropic don’t publish detailed energy‑use data for their models, viewing it as commercially sensitive operational information. Now the Sustainable AI Group (SAIG) has developed a way to help customers compare the energy use of closed models by comparing […]

Eric Schmitt is a dishonest hack and incredible POS and after years of him attacking me & my team I’m happy to see people realize it. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/a-li...

A Litigation Playbook for Narrative Warfare
Eric Schmitt’s “The Last Line of Defense” casts courts as stages for political spectacle rather than forums for justice—and rewrites the evidentiary record along the way.

ngl, turning down the "politics" slider on my mysky.social feed has improved my BlueSky experience immensely. It's also something we repeatedly hear in user testing. Discuss.

However skeptical I am about Muse as a consumer product, I have to admit that the VR Glasses are a real achievement. Some thoughts on Meta Connect www.platformer.news/meta-connect-20…
platformer.news
Can Muse make us forget the metaverse?
Meta has a new vision to sell, but it may be getting ahead of itself. (The VR Glasses are amazing, though)

How spicy are Aleppo peppers? 🌶️ my garden neighbor gave me two. I was going to cut one up and add it to a marinated steak stirfry. Is this a terrible idea? I cut the pepper, rinsed the knife, cut a different thing, and that thing had spicy oil flavor on it…

Well, this is embarrassing. Looks like I finally cursed at Starlink enough that I finally opened up some kind of portal in VLEO right over my barn. Sorry everybody! I promise I'll help clean up.
Bright green and red auroras mixed together, but instead of viewing the vertical columns close to the horizon, the vertical columns are directly overhead, so they appear to converge on a point directly above a silhouetted barn.  It looks like something out of a horror film.
