I'm a fan of ARM. https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine

I run it in a podman container, passing my BluRay drive though. It rips automatically, and attempts to even lookup the metadata for the disk to file it properly. It's not perfect, but it does work quite well. The only issue I have with it is it does a poor job on TV shows, but I've found nothing better, so it is good enough for me.

On the internet, nobody knows your a baby face.

It was a little jarring sometimes. The character animations specifically felt very video gamey, like they were being strung together and blended like video games to to allow simi-fluid animations with player freedom. Despite that distraction, the story was great, and the drama of the scenes were top notch.

Honestly I think it happening to a cat instead of a human really made a difference, because we've all watched humans fake drown or fake die a million times.

Unfortunately, it wont stay contained to the people who are doing it. Kids will die, across the world, because of these anti-vacs people.

But you can make an average of 1 baby a month in 9 months with 9 woman. It's all about proper planning and budgeting over longer periods.

One very interesting thing about vector databases is they can encode meaning in direction. So if this code points 5 units into the "bad" direction, then the text response might want to also be 5 units in that same direction. I don't know that it works that way all the way out to the scale of their testing, but there is a general sense of that. 3Blue1Brown has a great series on Neural Networks.

This particular topic is covered in https://www.3blue1brown.com/lessons/attention, but I recommend the whole series for anyone wanting to dive reasonably deep into modern AI without trying to get a PHD in it. https://www.3blue1brown.com/topics/neural-networks

Really, the guy currently in charge of trying to dismantle the US government you don't particularly care about? Assuming you aren't from the US, so perhaps US internal politics don't bother you, but he is also pushing for the far right in Germany, which means he wont stop at destroying America for his own profit. The richest man in the world is currently dismantling one of the largest countries in the world should probably concern everybody in the world, at least a little.

If it works, then great. I recommend getting a kitchen sale out so you know when you need to chump it up for sure.

I've been trying to get better about using the full roll. I've taken to weighing the roll to see if I have enough. Thankfully most rolls will list the weight of the spool itself. I've gotten similar close results, I feel a lot better about throwing away like 2 foot of filament instead of like 20 turns. The tough part is finding prints that are so small.

My Palm Pre people. I loved that phone. It was under powered, buggy, and felt like the future.

What's extra crazy, is that I know of a few automated processes that use a bitly link. There are going to be some broken systems out there because people wanted to distribute libraries using a shortner to make it easier on end users.

There is a book, Year Zero, that covers this idea. I didn't much care for the writing, but the plot was a fun idea. Aliens discovered Earth, and Humans had a unique talent for creating music. So the entire universe started sharing human music before they realized their mistake. Intergalactic law says they have to respect our copyright law, but they didn't know such a crazy concept existed until they owed practically the entire universe to Earth. Some alien races decided the solution was to just blow up Earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Zero_(Reid_novel)
