I don't think so, but when I am driving long distance I do make a habit to stop by all the local markets. The funniest situation was when I went to one in AZ, this one vendor had incredible raspberries just like home. I asked his secret... he had driven hours that morning from my home. He was on his way to selling out though.

I guess the second color is the margin of error or wiggle room on the prediction.

It sounds like you need me to visit your market ( or my market... It only takes one super user per market and I assure you I am almost always there), film everything and then feed that into your website. I like the idea, but it's not complex for my fanatical farmers market mind. It only has two geographic regions and okay 1 is only hours driving from me, but I would be more likely to use it if it was my own region.

Also it has a picture of an avocado and no data about avocados.

And don't get me started on the market availability between the first hour and the last hour because if I keep losing all the caviar limes to the restaurant buying the whole batch I'm going to start camping at 6am.

Some things I hunt for: Concord grapes, pomegranate, caviar limes, raspberries, mara des bois strawberries, amaranth and all types of kale.

ETA: the early girl tomatoes I recall as end of May or June, probably mid June for you. Too late now I think. Those little orange oblong ones are good though and my favorite breed of tomato is Japanese tomatoes. They have almost 100 percent availability at my market too because they have a specialist grower who uses green houses.

I am obsessed with two ads

That small lidar embedded into the front window glass is very sleek looking. Overall I like their design and what they choose to focus on. Their description of what is important for an LDM is is spot on, I love a boring drive without excitement or flare.

At least they are thinking about this. The possibilities still seem to limited though. A coder and a designer will 'retrain' to electrician or nurse, because we are busy having a construction boom. But do all of the individuals in this system get to choose the construction boom? Or are we swept up in the desires of the capital deploying owners?

Congratulations. They must have been worried about your circular graphic at the bottom of your post!

That's interesting to note. So the fact that there is less data about someone makes them a preferred target for the bottom of the advertising bucket. Is there an equivalent in the paper world? I remember those old paper magazines that were constantly about aliens or other conspiracies. Maybe the same effect?

Can I send off my garden soil samples to learn what sorts of bacteria and microbial life it is hosting? I do go outside and touch grass and dirt daily, it does make me feel good, but I always thought it was the sunlight and the beauty not the bacteria.

Ouch going right to the point. RAM is definitely not free. The little floating orb does seem meditative though. While I was looking at it I felt free to think,. maybe it's message is that we should write programs that don't need as much RAM? I remember hearing that long ago developers had to fit their entire videogame into mere kilobytes.

I get the wildest dreams. Lately it's nonstop cardio in my dreams. It's been like this for weeks. It is not relaxing, I don't know why my sleeping self won't just rest. Instead I have to spend the night dancing or jumping from moving train cars like frogger, climbing to the tops of high places, or just straight up running at a sprint for hours.

My fridge has a water and ice on the door. There is a filter at the bottom front side of the fridge for it.

While we are on the topic, also get regular maintenance for your hot water heater or end up replacing it earlier than it's expected lifetime.

I second the fiction reading. Any and all types of story books. It's not so much about learning something for you yet, it's about learning how to learn. Storing books in your head helps you build up the abilities for that.

Does the acquisition mean hugging face will stop hosting open models though? I'll check out the alternatives mentioned here too. Don't open weight models also self host too?

skyberrys — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 19:51:47 +0000

It's really important to feel comfortable talking about your AI use as well as being accepting to others sharing how they are using the tool. Imagine if AI was an early calculator, an mathematicians were reluctant to share how they were using the new tool. Sharing and talking about your experiences with it are critical for all of us to learn how to be effective with it.

I wonder what this looks like in 5 years... Will there be a massive push to repurpose these giant boxes into housing? Will they get turned back into the farm land from where they came? When a data center goes bust, what happens to the parts left behind?

A beautiful read, that is both happy and sad. Sad because the days of their conversations have past. Happy because the memories of their conversations will live on. But since her passing is so sudden, more sad than happy, there are so many things she didn't get to finish.

New comment by skyberrys in "I flagged two research papers for fake authors and both were accepted as orals"

skyberrys — Fri, 31 Jul 2026 13:34:09 +0000

I didn't read carefully enough at the beginning of the article, and at first I thought Caleb and Issac must be two different algorithms for detecting AI in published papers. Eventually I realized they are the names of the two authors who wrote this article (with AI assistance). Anyways, I was wondering how the two of them managed to disagree? Were the papers each human flagged as concerning the same between the two humans? I should keep reading carefully, just thought I would point it out to other humans too, maybe save them from the same mistaken thought.

skyberrys — Wed, 15 Jul 2026 22:01:23 +0000

I have a paid (lowest grade) Google workspace account and I recently gave Gemini a copy of a text agenda and asked it to pop out slides with references for me. I got back 11 slides with nice references to all the state laws relevant to the agenda topics and some graphics it found online too corresponding to the agenda topics.

Did you not ask it from the Gemini web interface? Did you try to use the one already built into Google slides? It looks like you already had slides open and used it's magic button... I didn't I went straight to the Gemini app online.

Most of the users of phones seem to operate on the no idea what's going on model. It's on developers to meet them where they are at, and if that's the app store you better be there for them.
