i'm 50+

I rarely capitalise, since i use punctuation and the need for capitals to break up the flow of barely legible cursive is not there.

what's the point? other than social compliance. these things need purpose to live.

london is still London, even without the capital. i am still me, even if I'm not overstating my own self-importance. this sentence still had a clear beginning, even if i didn't highlight it with a T.

capitals are a leftover of cursive.

That is not what is suggested. Llm still fuzzy mess, but supervisor / self editing is rules based

I rode in London, a lot. Fast, too. Couple of accidents, once slipped off a pedal it speed, ran over my foot, but stayed on (thanks, physics), once got too close too a rising curb and couldn't steer, hit a fence at speed, got deep cuts and lots off bruises, but bike took most off the damage. Have had accidents since, usually from heavy breaking, with complication leading to launching over the front. I cannot see how these boards could be safer, any dismount at equivalent speed would need considerable skill to not face plant, and any complications would just add energy too the impact. That or you could simply quail too stop in time and hit something (like a car door opening, or a truck pulling out, or that kid/dog that ran in front of you)

At 5usd for 100 operations, that thousand dollar gpu will break even very swiftly. I used 5000 or more runs when I was learning to use stable diffusion. In a commercial context, staff training alone will pay for the cards

33 credits a day will be nothing, and at 5usd for 100, that's going to be $10 or more an hour for anyone doing any kind of regular workflow. How munch would it cost you?
