When I grow my tomatoes, they are usually picked at their peak ripeness, they were being pumped full of sugar and nutrients by the plant until the last second when I picked them and cooked with them. The ones that have to travel are picked before ripe, and "ripen" sad and alone in a truck with no extra nutrients, and when they reach me looking "ripe", it's usually a facade. Local market fruits and vegetables stand somewhere in between, depending on volume and channel it's being sold in.

There is a difference though between fruits and vegetables imported for year round availability, and those imported as a seasonal bounty; the later ones maintain quality as it sells relatively quickly in season and doesn't need to be picked as much in advance.

Woods managed to not serve any additonal time after sentencing and didn't even have to admit guilt for that.

Though this prompts us to wonder why GNU Social took off (modestly) but Diaspora didn't.

Her wedding? Well, yeah, that's kind of the point, isn't it? It being a day all about her and her mate?

2. It could be used against them in a lawsuit, so they would probably want to keep it hidden until force to reveal it (which they would likely fight against)

3. It gives more information to the people crafting "jailbreaks"

4. It might create a backlash, considering how heavy-handed the "please make images diverse" part of it is

5. It might create ANOTHER backlash, on the other side of that coin, for not being heavy-handed enough, and not explicitly listing an ethnicity, gender, or whatever other personal characteristic that some might want ChatGPT to represent by default in its prompts

That's not to say it will always get everything right of course; in my experimentation with LLM-powered summarization of news articles, I find the thing it would more often struggle with is quote attribution. The way some writers formulate who said what in a conversation sometimes confused the models I use (mostly Mixtral these days, which is about GPT 3.5 level), and it would claim that someone said something that I knew this person definitely did not say, and I would check the actual article and it turned out the journalist said that thing and the interviewee said the opposite, but the LLM thought it was the interviewee who said it.

It will take an RSS feed, send the content of x number of articles to an OpenAI-compatible API to summarize, then send me an email with all of those summaries. I have it set to run every day so I wake up to a summary of my feeds (and of Hacker News).

I figure it would not be too difficult to feed the contents to a static site generator.

So I've stopped jaywalking when somewhere where others could distractedly follow me, and I give angry glances at people who do. Sure, it's not my responsability to make sure others aren't distracted, but since I am aware of how people really are and I can avoid causing issues by just following the established signals, knowing I'm not responsible is not going to make me feel much better if someone gets run over following me.

This is what anyone could have said about FTX until suddenly it wasn't.

The upsell is complete access to the DeFi ecosystem. Not just the part your exchange wants to support. The convenience issue is overblown, at least for tech inclined people like commenters here would be.

Looks to me like the author doesn't know what people would be running from. I doubt the authorities would use LASER SURVEILLANCE SATELLITES for anything they intend to pursue with less zeal than a very serious felony.

Another important missing fact: Was the Sherrif's offer time-limited? It makes a difference regarding whether or not he was coercing Maid Marion, whether she had an opportunity to discuss the proposition with Robin, and thus whether Robin is right in considering her actions a betrayal.

I've moved after that to Debian-based distros, and eventually to Slackware, and now I'm trying to get myself back into the linux game with CentOS/Red Hat, but I'll always remember Mandrake as my first not completely sucky distro.
