I’m doing okay! I’m definitely feeling emotionally burnt out this evening, but I couldn’t tell you exactly why. 🙃 However, I ate some ice cream, and I’m going to read fanfiction.

Have a good week too!

A what?

I left early, only 4.5 years in tech. I still make less than my first job but boy am I happier. I work in a nature preserve now.

Pbf has some real bangers

I believe there was a guy at my highschool in 2006 who had a folder with that design. His nickname was danimal. He could name every fish on it.

Jokes on you, I’m not safe offline either!

I’m playing DS2 now. This series is great! The only games like it are indie games, simulation affair. It’s truly unique in the AAA space.

Cockpit was also my nickname back in college.

I’m so down for this sailor content.

She’s got a real Mona Lisa smile. I can’t tell if she’s smiling actively or not in this picture.

I had one like this for years. When you dispose of the old plugs, try and keep the plastic parts. You can cut them some to get the roots out, but at least the top half. You can buy rock wool and other substrates to grow your own seeds, and the plastic part can be handy to keep the new substrate in place.

Have fun! These are really quite easy to use and fun.

The woman is right!

It is my understanding that the advances in classifier models were and are inexorably linked to generative models. Wasn’t Deepdream a fairly crude inversion of existing classifier models?

I’m sorry, but didn’t Google pioneer the image recognition models years ago that Inaturalist uses to help users identify plants and animals? Google can suck it, but perhaps ai has proven it has a place in these applications?

Now that it’s a couple days later, I think I might add a thought to this. It can be invalidating, to have someone ask a victim to empathize with the bully without sufficiently recognizing the victims feelings.

I used to do this sort of thing. I would try to be objective and logical. I learned that this just made my friends feel crazy, like they might be overreacting. I’ve learned to instead start by validating peoples feelings. I try to recognize thier pain, discomfort, and anger first. And, I never blame people for feeling that anger.

I second what the other commenters are saying about forgiveness being for you, not to other person, but can I just rant about how useless it is to say no one can truly be bad? It denies the basic utility of words, in my opinion. If someone is an ass, violent, greedy, etc then they are bad. If they change their ways they are good. We have words to describe greedy, violent, assholes. We call them bad people. Hell, a murderer psychopath? Call them evil. It’s why we have adjectives.

What a neat photo idea
