I sure do. I believe it's the first season episode "When the Bough Breaks," (S01E16). That show tackled so many heavy topics right out of the gate... I respect the hell of of the courage to try, even if it produced some prett

Maybe I'm just getting old, but my reaction to this article had nothing to do with LLMs but was instead that this is an indictment of the state of medicine in America. At each diagnostic milestone it seemed obvious that the conclusion

Personally, I'm going to spend the rest of the day looking for those people walking around with the faces of squid...they sound terrifying.

Kind of creepy, but you just described, step for step, how I ended up running Fedora's KDE Spin on all my boxes over the past year. I really wanted to like Manjaro, I mean the AUR is incredible and their visual design even uses all my

I find myself stuck on a single data point from this article, the one that reports 16 people lost their lives due to the release of just 248 incarcerated kids. Now my rational mind is able to grasp that this is only 6.5% of the group they w
