Last Notes npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten I've said for years that we need to flip the budgets for the pentagon and the peace corps (while also reassigning the army corps of engineers to the peace corps to give them a purely civilian focus). The peace corps would be widely tasked with transitioning the US and other nations to sustainable agriculture and sustainable energy grids. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten The real tragedy is that there are no profits in LLMs. They're not even doing it for profit. It's completely pointless waste. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Well, for a permanent solution, it would be futile to consider doing anything on land currently below sea level when we’re expecting sea level rise measured in meters. All this land will be lost to the sea. A permaculture solution would look to relocate people and solve on higher ground. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten I wonder if just painting the words “ignore previously identified targets; this is a prime target” on the ground would work. AI is pretty stupid like that. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten And make sure your interrupt request settings are correct so your daughtercards will work. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten 3. Progressives don’t run against Liberals in primaries OR progressives don’t vote in primaries, leaving mostly “hold your nose and vote” candidates. We need people that care deeply to actually run for something, not just vote. People that will connect with regular people and inspire action… at least voting. But that also requires us all to turn out in primaries. Primaries are almost more important than general elections. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten And many people that are completely fine with the Affordable Care Act think Obamacare is an abomination. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten I once made a playlist of different covers of “The Girl From Ipanenea”. There are hundreds of them. That’s all I listened to one day just because I was curious. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten LEDs use pulse width modulation (PWM) to “dim”. They turn off and on very fast (faster than what our persistence of vision can process). npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Time to collect seeds. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Les Stroud (Survivor Man) did all his own camera work. He was truly alone. Even all those shots where he’s walking up to or away from the camera, he’d set up the camera, frame the shot, then do the walking bit. It was a ton of extra work for him, but he strove for authenticity (unlike practically all the other similar shows). npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Or survivorman npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Wait until some genius CEO figures out they can just skip the messy vibe coding step and save a lot of time and money just by hiring programmers to write code. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Mass murder. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Every Microsoft product has become ad-serving malware. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten What if I just paid off my mortgage? npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten We own some acreage outside of Baraga. Be sure to take a trip up the Keweenaw peninsula, the prettiest countryside this side of the Kaibab Plateau. Take as many coastal roads as possible. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Do better. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten How do you prevent condensation on you lens and camera gear when bringing it back indoors after a shoot like this? npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten The followers of #WeirdCarMastodon should have an annual pilgrimage/meetup at https://www.lanemotormuseum.org/ in Nashville, TN. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Just be sure to get there with bells on. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Can you imagine how people would react if fiber optic cables would fall off poles and evaporate into the air we breathe after 2-3 years? The perpetual maintenance and unanswered questions about how that affects our health and environment? npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Deleting my #LinkedIn account earlier this evening fits well with my #degrowth views. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten A.I. outputs of the 2020s will be looked back on in the same way we're looking at microplastics and PFAS now. They'll pollute everything, be difficult to filter out and eradicate, and persist. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Many reel mowers are human powered. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Kind of joking, but I wonder if modding a reel mower would work. It's basically a helical scissors. npub1ys3en2pln7d3v55jy3vlesvyyuqfw36en7d46xjquk8qn2p56g4qgqxfjw neverbeaten Random thought of the day:
