Hmm ⸻ is this Hank from last year? If so, this is their second year, or will be soon, and their next molt should include a red tail.

“Cueva de la Arena”

The Cueva de la Arena, in the Los Haitises National Park, is one of the most important points of interest in this protected area. It can only be reached by boat, from a small landing stage that plunges into the sea from its small, charming beach. The cave is some 940 m long, running along…

this something I don't think anyone's really talked about -- not specifically that AI systems are stochastic, but that when juxtaposed with traditional software, where data is static and object-permanent, it's something fundamentally different.

A lot of the marketing falls apart when you realize they're doing a rhetorical slight of hand where they act like the probabilistic text generator is just "more software."

@glyph Even without the "Clyde" problem it's hard to talk about because there's a historical notion of a probabilistic algorithm where you have stochastic behavior operating with proven bounds and a provable distribution of behaviors, and the new type of statistics-based software where the software just sort of does whatever and we don't even discuss it as if it were statistics-based we call it "intelligence"

this is also why LLMs are not "another layer of abstraction". do you need to read the asm output of your compiler every time it runs? no, and having to do so would substantially reduce the value of said compiler

A small flock of Cedar Waxwings came to our old apple trees to eat some softened apples that stayed on the trees all winter long.

if ai was really about productivity they’d be talking about doing more faster with the same workforce, not reducing the workforce

Lazy web request:

I’m trying to find back pain management advice that is based on scientific and medical research, rather than quackery.

I have seen that “The Back Book” from NHS exists, but it’s from 2005.

Anyone have an up-to-date, credible resource on back pain management to recommend? Thanks.
