I had an idea like this years ago, only my idea was to put two of these on the playa and have them only call each other. Do you could pick one up, the other would ring, and you could talk to a random person.

This post is one long strawman argument.

I always wanted to replicate this with a helium balloon and a long, wet string coated with copper filings.

I’m hoping the new Slate electric cars don’t have this.

It basically writes a bunch of notes as markdown files and then injects them as part of its prompts. I saw someone compare it to that movie Momento, where the protagonist can’t form new memories so he tattoos notes all over his body.

It seems odd to me that the military doesn’t already have far superior models.

Can you get Zulip supported by OpenClaw? Zulip was my first choice communication channel.

Apparently they use smart appliances to scrape websites from residential accounts.

Anarchy is not a rejection of hierarchies, it’s a rejection of a central authority.

Or you could see it as an argument for the second amendment. Would someone have attempted this against an executive based in Texas? I don’t think so.

Maybe they wanted to decrypt NATO radio messages?

I use a short throw projector with an Apple TV. There’s also a little device called Micca which you can use to play video files you’ve downloaded.

Get a short throw projector. You can plug anything into it. It’s the perfect “dumb” screen.

I am hoping that AI art tends towards a modular approach, where generating a character, setting, style, and camera movement each happens in its own step. It doesn’t make sense to describe everything at once and hope you like what you get.

teh_infallible — Sun, 14 Jul 2024 18:22:31 +0000

A melting glacier does not cause the sea level to rise. I can’t believe people don’t understand this. If you have a cup of ice water and melt the ice, the water level stays constant.

Rewatching this film, it really seemed fake to me. I love it, but I think it’s a mockumentary
