Nice tour of various drones and their creators' from one of the other pilots here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmvLJCdYDRI

The Dr. Bronner's label rabbit hole was a common occurrence. That's some crazy info on that soap bottle.

In any case, if you are watching the invader launch Shaheds into your country, and know that many will hit buildings full of people, that has to be factored in as well. Even if it …

The oil industry is full of really smart people, but this all appears to be so stupid. Why don't the fossil fuel companies just expand their investment portfolios to include off-sh…

> Never attribute to stupidity what can be attributed to self-interest. Sure, but in cases like the new Navy battleships... it's just plain dumb, no two ways about it. Aside from t…

There are way too many residential buildings hit for it to be an accident, all the time. It’s a part of Moscow’s strategy to weaken civilian resolve. They did the same thing in Che…

That was far worse as far as visual story-telling. Anthropic wins, which is to be expected against whatever that product is. In either case, I still don't see how I could reproduce…

yes, a bit.

I appreciate the reply. However, there is a lot more than blah blah happening here, in the hundreds of comments. Here was my best effort, which I believe is entirely fair: https://…

That is the interesting part to me. Also, was anyone else familiar with the LLM-app terms "ablation" and "product overhang," prior to this? I was not. If you were, please share the…

The eventual flagging of this post makes me so sad for our civilization, of which this website is a HUGE part. I believe there was a very interesting conversation happening here.

I appreciate the reply. I did not mean to be dismissive at all. In the interest of a good exchange, I have to say: I really want open weight models. Otherwise, I see no other path …
