What I listened to at the record store. Last night, I baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies to give to The Shopkeeper today. It's a thank you for lending an ear last week and for letting me listen to records even though I only plan on...
Over yonder in Neocities, Skep is hosting another virtual potluck. This year there's a theme for all the entries, which is "yellow"... which is unfortunate, because my entry for last year's potluck - the temple dahl - is just about the...
Found this at the HMart in Lynnwood, WA. This one is interesting; it’s an export version, but specifically for where isn’t clear – so it gets the Indonesia checkbox. It’s made in Indonesia, but labeling shows it being for the US market....
Thank you, Matthew, for sharing your thoughts on this matter. Indeed, it is a very interesting time keeping up with the latest LLMs from a security perspective. I do not share the same beliefs and I want to take a moment to evaluate. As...
North Cape is the northernmost point of Prince Edward Island and sticks out into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. That makes it an excellent place to plunk down a bunch of windmills and the Wind Energy Institute of Canada. I had never visited...
