What I meant was Jobs paid to buy his way to the front of wait-lines, in states he was non-resident (including Tennessee), for a replacement body part (liver); every Tennessean he eventually $"cut"$ had to wait longer (or die) for

I grew up in a one-highschool Texas town, a notorious football powerhouse. The brainwashing we received as players was incredible, and we were definitely respected members of our community (e.g. newspaper would interview us; girls; getting

I've been ignoring Linux since the early 90s. Would always install some variant, think it was "pretty cool" for a few days, then revert back to "whatever MacOS was offering" (for my daily driver). ---- 2026: I just

Google Earth is a fantastic computer program (which is being retired June 2027; stupid IMHO); Alphabet, Inc., wants you to instead "use the in-browser version of earth.google.com for a better experience." When I attempt to load ea

I purchased a 5070Ti (16GB nVIDIA GPU) a few months ago, and it is absolutely incredible what can be accomplished on local hardware (whether offline or not). Don't forget `mistral-small` (Apache's LLM), which to me is equally as i

I'll add mine: Dr. Seely's Honeybee Democracy , which I read in 2022 (during my first GPT-2 experiences). The book discusses basic bee dances, but then expands much further into Seely's own research discovering how simple ru
