Considering that this pollutes the air we breathe and releases sequestered carbon, might I suggest interring trimmed brush deep enough to not burn but shallow enough to feed roots as it decomposes into the soil rather than air.

Obviously this entails some effort spent, but it seems correct, versus the old burning practices.

Might I suggest that at human current scale we can’t pursue the same ways as when we were few and low footprint per capita?

So boring to see a steady drumbeat of anti cannabis here on HN. Daily articles in the feed, etc…

I use cannabis to control intra ocular pressure and it works as well as the timolol drops and without the exhaustion of the beta blocker. 3-4 points hg down for 4-6 hours as I measured it. Home tonometer offerings are scant, however I think real-time monitoring is a game changer. Aerobic exercise is also useful in lowering eye pressure

What if journalists actually knew what an LLM is and how the ability to string verbals tokens is not intelligence.

2023 is the year Program or be Programmed by Douglas Rushkoff became extremely relevant

It doesn’t reason, it isn’t intelligent. There are humans who avoid reasoning but the biological capacity for this is inbuilt.

An LLM is like asking Google to make a search results collage. It’s an entirely derivative essentializer

That’s going to depend upon deployment context. The hype around LLMs and the word AÍ has certainly been received by the general public as license for further penetration of markets. I doubt most humans are comfortable with autonomous vehicles yet we have a relentless push for the same from the worlds richest man, who insists upon foisting it upon us all. I see LLMs being deployed in wildly inappropriate scenarios at the moment, and safety critical can consist of an interruption while driving, for example. Media systems in vehicles are borderline actively dangerous IMO

The MAGAS have taken over the GOP. Rank and file GOP now openly espouse Qanon precepts. It’s standard fare to speak of gutting support for Ukraine and of support for Putin. We witnessed a physical coup attempt Jan 6th, rallied by Mr Trump and yet his GQP colleagues are literally running interference for Trump, attempting to stymie any attempts at accountability.

Barring some extremists who call FDR “radical”, I cannot see the case for “both sides ism” It’s apparent to me that ONE party has chosen attempting to gain ABSOLUTE POWER in lieu of helping the nation or staying true to the constitution.

The stacked Supreme Court is a point in case: McConnell blocked Obamas single appointee that he had a right to appoint and this was a violation of the constitution.(no mention of election calendar in appointments)

Trump then railroaded through Congress an unprecedented 3 justices! Unheard of. Absolute power grab. No surprise that they overturned Roe v Wade.

I see América on the precipice and the GQP trying to push it over the edge.

If Trump gets in in 2024, we won’t see presidential elections again. He admires banana republic dictators and hates due process

Elon musk is an idiot, and deliberately so. Most fan noise on the net is paid, I reckon

Wow, I would never hire you with such a reckless attitude. “Turned out ok” is not an acceptable excuse for high risk behavior. I think your insult is icing on the cake. GTFO

That is literally what incarcerating someone does, punish their family as well

The bigger issue in guitar shops is that the least experienced player is the one salivating to hook up to the Marshall stack and play smoke on the water. Make them demo small combo amps instead and we are all good

I like this. I feel like it conveys proportional relative intervals visually as well, so it’s teaching you patterns correlated in audio and visual geometry

Stop feeding Starlink rich government contracts. This shouldn’t be handled by a private contractor at all

That would make them beefeaters. (Cue funny furry hats)

Get the mini freak. I returned a micro due to the menu diving and minimal controls. Great sound engine on both. (Same)
