Last Notes npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 That was closer to Scary Movie or Meet the Spartans, but I've seen it a few times now 👀 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Great movie! I need to go back and rewatch it! In similar vein (martial arts comedy), have you seen Kung Fu Hustle? I've discovered it recently and it has no right to be as good as it is. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Without spoiling anything about the movie: we think we know the actual cause of inevitable global infertility, no there likely won't be a magical cure , and unlike the movie this isn't limited to humans and will likely be the 6th great mass extinction event we unwittingly unleashed upon ourselves solely because it affects almost all wildlife. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/feb/27/plastics-leading-to-reproductive-problems-for-wildlife https://www.earth.com/news/plastics-found-inside-vegetable-tissues-for-the-first-time/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2352396423001378 https://yaleglobalhealthreview.com/2025/05/19/microplastics-and-infertility-an-invisible-crisis/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBRquiS1pis "Que sera, sera. The futures not ours to see" 🤷♂️ npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Please dont remind me of the dental cleanings... I've been stalling a cavity for years now and I just finally started seriously eating away at the debt 😭 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I was so convinced nobody could have figured that out 🤣 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Have you watched Children of Men? The reality of our situation is much worse than the movie came up with. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 From my understanding. America doesnt tend to apply the sins of the father to the children intentionally, or systematically, at a national level. The children of criminals are still allowed to attend higher education instead of being cut out of almost everything, including public transport. They dont get cut out of the financial systems either. Its not been so completely centralized yet, as evidenced by off ramps even existing. I can agree with the idea there are many different groups attempting to create such a system in their own self-interest. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Take a guess what the economic theory is called. Its really original, I swear. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 "The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. ... But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet." -Men At Arms (1993), Terry Pratchett npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I hear that there is a very data rich database of biometrics, medical info, passports, nationality, criminal records, etc. Maybe someone could ransom a lot of money out of such a system 🤔 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Wtf happened with Amethyst? Now there are 300+ relays that cant be removed and spam you with payment requests. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 "They call themselves anti-bad so the people they kill must be bad!" -useful idiots npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Im sure funny people are here somewhere, but other platforms are mostly frictionless to get desired content. Nostr has quite a bit of friction for personalized content delivery that you wont feel on the others. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 True. America could drastically cut those numbers if the state similarly threatened starved the children of criminals and dissenters through a centralized financial system tied to an arbitrary social credit system. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Im thinking Plato would be a pretty good contender, too 🤔 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 People keep telling me that I live in clown world and I'm starting to think they may be onto something 🤔 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Who's winning? npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Yea, it doesnt seem to. What should it actually say? https://image.nostr.build/f4b344f7d7dd1a517d50f04f00148f4801029c044bc92c5424170c128cbe386d.jpg npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Nobody can tell me Bitcoin can't replace fiat currencies if a bad gamer chat app can replace a government during snap elections. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 No, that's just being a glutton through starvation. All good bro. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Complaining about people complaining about complainers. What a time to be alive. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Let us know what the bail is for using prayer as intimidation towards someone 😆 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 So when's the next poll? I want to get some bots ready for something. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Minchin has been dropping more songs lately. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AX41HqWmak npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 That's a nice way of saying that Life cannibalizes itself 😆 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Thats not good. I doubt you are even close to connecting the maximum devices it can handle. Modern routers are ridiculous for that. I hope its not bad firmware. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 There are so many potential causes of this behaviour. My brother needed to manually change the MHz it operated on to resolve his issues. If wifi6 works fine for you, can you force that? npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I got the same thing with Wifi5. I solved it by disconnecting all ethernet devices and connecting them wirelessly. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Definitely avoid pizza if you want healthy food 😆 (Unless you make yourself, of course) npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Reminds me of this quote: "The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience." - Albert Camus npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Bluetooth is made to have really low power use. You probably won't even notice the battery difference of it being on. A consequence of the design is that it can't send lots of data at any reasonable speed. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I think mobile phones are a useful technology (I like being able to tweak or fix my home server remotely without lugging around a laptop), but the apps have gotten out of control. I refuse to download almost any that aren't actively useful to me and avoid companies that pressure, or constantly remind, customers into their apps. Sorry Dominoes but your pizza wasn't tht great anyway 😆 Let's not even get started on the blatant data harvesting they are actually used for 😑 If people arent going to message me with Signal or SimpleX they are stuck SM/RCS with me. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 So this happens https://video.nostr.build/731f0e8187bf7bdb2fbacdc6c16ea24b5413ea6c19d9281ad8290384da66038d.mp4 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 The movie was okay. I'd still like an Akira TV show that stays faithful to the source material though. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Your clothes have cotton in them? No wonder they are expensive! Wear some plastic like the rest of us! 🤣 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 It looks good! But $30 still seems excessive for a single dress. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Awww I knew I shouldn't have engaged. I still need to start the show 😆 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I tried to use it for something recently and it failed miserably... npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 https://image.nostr.build/a4389e1e92bf3b96bd44e03bd80fe2af846ef3ef550ac202ba19de5c5ae4b33e.gif npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 It tells me using my nsec is insecure 😞 I guess I'll have to skip. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Image-to-Image workflow** npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I would recommend ComfyUI, or Automatic111, and ControlNet. Using ControlNet you can use an edge or sketch lora and use that to keep the generation consistent. I would recommend lowering the denoise in the ksampler to something between 0.6-0.8 and see how that goes. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 No. If I send a gif using the Samsung keyboard, it opens a new window to upload. I have to copy and paste the link in the original window. I had 4 seperate Amethyst apps open because I kept trying in the new windows 😆 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 And a seperate question: is this supposed to happen when replying to people with gifs? https://njump.me/nevent1qqs93xjt4e4haqj0j2dqy04yqxpzy3zk0e6m654msfmxp2w5zl4jd5cprdmhxue69uhhg6r9vehhyetnwshxummnw3erztnrdakj7q3qp5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqxpqqqqqqzsraf9l npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 So the Play Store won't let Amethyst access other folders, but still allows other apps to? What's that about? npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I would, but Amethyst won't let me access the meme folder. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I may be misinformed, but I hear his issues with millionaires transitioned to issues with billionaires after he became one. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Allowing other views is clearly the belief of Fascists. The media has told me so for years! npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I set my oven to 170f and keep it open for a short while. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Seeing people jump from X to Bluesky and TikTok to Rednote definitely has strong "cut off your nose to spite your face" vibes npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Too much of a medicine and it gets called poison. Everything in moderation. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Maybe after the UK and Italy 🤔 saving how i can npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I want to visit near Vancouver someday! It's beautiful! npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Similar. Toronto is probably 50-100x further though, you barely see it over the lake. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 This looks similar to the view of Toronto from the other side of Lake Ontario. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 So many stories one picture can tell. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I once heard it described as: men must strive to be like a mountain, standing firm and calm amidst the chaotic crashes of the ocean waves. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 "Who work in public service" tells me everything I need to know. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Locally restricted lower Ontarian so I can't speak to much, but it sounds like things are looking up for you and your family! I'm happy to hear! npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I knew you would agree. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 We know why. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 LOOK CLOSER npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Stop the peer pressure! It's detrimental to the Christmas spirit! 🎅 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Funner or funnier? npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Italians aren't white??? 🫤 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 "Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty." I can believe it was written by a 26 year old. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 The divorce was amicable and without conflict. Though at no part in the process, or anyone around us aware, that we needed a lawyer to write up and notarize a separation agreement for the future so that companies would consider us for mortgage agreements 😑 That was fun to find out. How did yours go? npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I want to avoid both, but there is no good alternative that comes to mind. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I did that once before. I won't be breaking my 5 year minimum rule, after that mistake 😆 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I was on Windows with VS Community and Linux with VS Code. I have OSX but I dislike it npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Wired and wireless both worked well for me. I mostly use VS Community and some VS Code, but both worked well. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Vitally what? npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 When you're with someone long enough that calling them girlfriend feels immature and partner feels emotionally sterile... npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Not what I was expecting to see! Time to start reconsidering my follow list 🤔 🤣 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I have no idea what you were doing! 🤣 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 If you could only advise people to follow 5 people on Nostr, who would they be? npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Can we reduce that by increasing weight to amount to an equivalent volume? npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Okay... I've had too much gin tonight npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 They were discontinued years ago. Turns out it's not worth making a penny when you tell everyone its worth 1/10th the cost of production 😆 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 And I appreciate denying a bitcoin only dogma 👍 Tools are tools and we need to use the best for what it is built for. Give to Caesar what is Caesars, but fuck having what's ours. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 There is a reason Canada doesn't have pennies anymore... But you're correct! Some fiat will become collectors items at some unknown point in time. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 No, you're right, but they could get some mostly useless metadata. What I was pondering was whether the entire sting, and subsequent publicizing of it, could also be a PR attack on the Matrix protocol by associating heinous crimes with the name, and search results. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 17:38 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 The PCmag article was a bit vague. Was it a messenger called Matrix, or was it the Matrix protocol? npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 The event won't load for me. I assume this is about the Matrix messenger? npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 The sounds are the easy part, imo. 7 vowel sounds versus English 21, roughly. The actual concept that the word is supposed to represent is hard to find in an equivalent English word/concept npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I'm slowly trying to learn Italian and the word "Che" is probably the hardest thing so far for me wrap my mind around. Sure, verb conjugation may be odd... but the single word Che is another animal altogether... What, how, and that are seperate concepts and words in English and Italian... yet Che is all of them too. Why?! How?! Someday I will understand properly. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I wonder how close the tech is to replacing many of them with humanoid robots and self-driving vehicles 🤔 A Black Friday freeze up will still hit the bottom line of the company a four amount, I would think. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Oops. I read Fluoride 😆 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Yep! Even the US government recently admitted current fluoride levels were making less intelligent to a detrimental degree. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Finally? I guess it's good taht they finally entered,l the industry, but it's looking like AMD will always play the catch-up game. How long can they keep that up for, I wonder? 🤔 _____________________________________________ AMD unveils its first 1B-parameter large language model, AMD OLMo, with strong reasoning capabilities • AMD has introduced AMD OLMo, its first series of fully open-source 1-billion-parameter large language models (LLMs), trained on the company's Instinct MI250 GPUs. These LLMs offer strong reasoning, instruction-following, and chat capabilities, aiming to enhance AMD's position in the AI industry and enable clients to deploy them with AMD hardware. • The AMD OLMo models were trained on a vast dataset of 1.3 trillion tokens, utilizing 16 nodes with four AMD Instinct MI250 GPUs each. The training process involved three steps: pre-training on a subset of Dolma v1.7, supervised fine-tuning on various datasets, and alignment to human preferences using Direct Preference Optimization. • In testing, AMD OLMo models demonstrated impressive performance against similar open-source models in general reasoning and multi-task understanding benchmarks. The two-phase supervised fine-tuning approach significantly improved accuracy, and the final AMD OLMo 1B SFT DPO model outperformed other chat models by at least 2.60% on average. • AMD also evaluated the models on responsible AI benchmarks, such as toxicity, bias, and truthfulness, and found that they were comparable to similar models in handling ethical and responsible AI tasks. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/artificial-intelligence/amd-unveils-amd-olmo-its-first-1b-parameter-llm-with-strong-reasoning npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Oh great, pollution synergy exists. ___________________________________________ Combined Impact of Microplastics and PFAS on Aquatic Life: Study Reveals Greater Environmental Harm • A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Birmingham has shed light on the combined impact of microplastics and PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) on aquatic life, revealing that their combined effect is more detrimental than either chemical alone. • The study utilized Daphnia, commonly known as water fleas, as a model organism due to their high sensitivity to chemicals, allowing researchers to assess the long-term effects of chemical mixtures on their entire life cycle. • The findings indicate that the combination of microplastics and PFAS leads to severe toxic effects, including developmental failures, delayed sexual maturity, stunted growth, and reduced reproduction in Daphnia. • The study highlights the importance of considering the chronic effects of chemical mixtures, as previous exposures to other chemicals and environmental threats can weaken organisms' ability to tolerate novel chemical pollution. • The research emphasizes the need for regulatory frameworks that address the unintended combinations of pollutants in the environment and calls for a revision of current methods for assessing environmental toxicity to better understand the risks posed by emerging contaminants like microplastics and PFAS. https://phys.org/news/2024-10-microplastics-pfas-daphnia-combined-impact.amp npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Is that Gene Wilder? I'll need to check this out npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Sounds a little like Immanuel Kants morality. When asked how he would reply if a serial killer asked him where one of his friends or family lived (I forget which) he also answered with omission. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I'm one of those normies that's still using Amethyst and doesn't know what NSec is. Is it specific to webapps, a specific platform, or some type of password manager thing? npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Like a set of all sets. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 What is this series called? "The Perfect Woman"? 🤣 npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 I recognize this one. npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 $3b? That's it? npub1p5wa26hryppj3ezl0zc6vjkg7pkjyuff7a65j047sn8jsfgdrmrqqz54dt BHN 🍁 Adaptability is literally the only state you need. That's not a joke. The most optimal stat to always build is adaptability, always. It's awful. And the i-frames were fine but the hit boxes were fucked. I've seen an analysis that broke it down per frame to show hit boxes were artificially large and didn't align with the visuals players would see, unlike 1 and 3. They will slide behind enemies to hit players that were literally behind the enemies. My issue with 3 is the studio (same as 1) were too concious of the internet and cheating. They didn't bother to make a intricate level like the first game because they knew some players would cheat with wikis. That's one reason Bloodborne and Dark Souls 3 feel so good mechanically and are so well balanced, that became the primary focus. My gripe is that all of Dark Souls 3 is that it is literally a single path with 2 mandatory side deviations. It lost its labyrinthine metroidvania level design 😩 Honestly though, it's so fun to go through all three of them with friends and partners that I don't even mind the mechanical issues of Dark Souls 2. I guess I got so used to it my frustrations come from everyone else quitting 🤣 (Sin of the First Scholar fixed a couple things, I think, but not enough)
