    But LLM's passed the Turing test, so we're done, right? ;-) Seriously, though, I agree with you that people keep moving the ball.

    That they don't show how they look when folded is either bizarre, or that the end results are disappointing.

    Exactly, it depends. I completely believe your experience. My wife's experience was instant bricking and Apple's warranty completely excludes liquid damage. If you have Apple Care+…

    I agree completely! Our Garmin Descent Mk3i dive computer smart watches are the best watches I've ever seen. They just work. You can charge it for an hour or so and it's good for 2…

    The only IP ratings that I trust are on dive computers and dive computer watches (but I've read mixed results about Apple Watch Ultras for diving). The Garmin Descent Mk3i dive com…

    "The temple’s dimensions are based on the number 12 and a module of 7.5m." 12 / 7.5 = 1.6 ~= Golden ratio

    Ha, yeah. Fortunately for him, Connery did James Bond first, then later did Zardoz and Highlander.

    That is very cool. Their kit is $3,000 and the unaffiliated kit is $2,350, so definitely a commitment.

    Lol, right on! I grew up on a farm in an area where the economy centers around Ag. There used to be an annual fundraiser dinner in a nearby town (population 309) with various games…

    California Democrats would need to choose pragmatism over party and rapidly deploy nuclear power for desalination. But states playing no-rules hardball with each other would end up…

    Southern California is vulnerable to that, but not Northern California. California is the largest food producer to the US, including about 1/3 of our fresh vegetables and 3/4 of fr…

    I used diarization in https://github.com/jhj0517/Whisper-WebUI last night and once it downloads the model from HuggingFace it runs offline (it claims).
