I'm just sticking with Tetris.

Could it be already baked into these models because they have already been trained on this task this way?

I guess I'll drive my 15 year old Honda CRV for a few more years.

Finger prints on my screen are a capital crime or at least family meeting time.

Used to say this about dev written code, if it has tests, I can usually live with it.

On one hand the notion of the world is ending or gonna end is as old as history itself. On the other, the complexity of everything and the amount of technical capability an individual or small group can wield has never been higher.

With most everyone medicated its impossible to find a control group. Same applies to any emf studies.

Just imagine the devs on the other end trying to parse petabytes of data. It's breakfast on the East coast, all hands on deck.

You would see my YouTube feed. I watched a couple of those and now I'm fully convinced.

ADHD meds also impact circadian rhythm. So I don't really know how a study could look at this dynamic with any usefulness.

If it can make a web page responsive and keep in bounds when I zoom in the font that would be a glorious future.

Anyone looking at this with an ounce of willingness to research it would have chosen permanent standard time but they never even offered that in any of the referendums across the provinces that switched. I'm getting the high end bright wake uplights for my kids this winter. Pretty annoying.

I wonder why the decision routing isn't just integrated into all models in addition to this stand alone.

This along with stack overflow seems to be the end of an era. Stack overflow had my back and JetBrains was like a super magical tool that I could tackle code bases with.

Yeah in hindsight that is true. But when you're planting with this approach, you are thinking and adjusting two trees ahead in your mind and laying down triangles as you go. It's the ability to adjust and select two sites at a time that gives you way more flexibility to pick easier microsites to plant to spec in.

Not particularly, but it did make me think more than just planting in straight lines so I suppose it was more engaging. Contract rules were strict around minimum spacing and density, you were always trying to adhere to them to avoid penalties (reductions in payment)
