As part of the strategy, discarded oyster shells from over 70 New York restaurants are collected and left outside for a year to be naturally cleansed of organic matter. Baby oysters are then placed on the shells by students at New York Harbor School, a maritime-focused public high school located on Governors Island. [10]

I think it did. I recently started collecting some sealed Pokemon products for my collection so been going to lines and camp outs and meeting new people. Our new friend group is about 8 people sometimes more. Not a single person smokes cigs. In a line with 20/30+ other people there might only be a single person stepping aside to light up. Sometimes its hard to even find a lighter for other purposes.

I wish the chats ended up in the gemini app. I never know which model or how much personalization its using in AI mode after a search.

I mean yes and no. If I knew your address, I could 100% ring your doorbell from the Internet.

CTRL+T, doordash.com, McDonalds, "ring doorbell please", pay, done.

I know this isn't what you mean, but, humans are buttons (or button pressers?)

Thanks, it does. I've been playing since about 2000, came from Cosmic Rift / Infantry when they went non-free.

We're lucky we got Priit to release the encryption/security module so Continuum clients could connect to ASSS servers without the security warning. I doubt it'll ever be updated, someone will have to take up the mantle.

I play SubSpace (a MMO spaceship game released in the 90s) to this day. It was shut down soon after release.

The original server binaries were left on the original CDROM by a programmer.

Then PriitK, a creator of Kazaa and then Skype and Joost!, went on to re-create the client due to cheating/hacking, naming it Continuum.

Years later the server is reimplemented as A Small Subspace Server (ASSS), making it a complete fan remake of the original game (sans graphics). This is also when we finally got server side mods, everything before that was client only or a hack.

We even got on Stream Greenlight.

Ive had that issue with touchscreens before and was able to disable the driver for it. Linux so not sure if possible or how on a chromebook but an option.

A small city near me in the suburbs of Detroit just had to have a town meeting / facebook post / etc about teens driving electric scooters and bikes driving recklessly, causing accidents, injuring themselves and others, etc.

Agree 100%.

I watched Million Dollar Baby for the first time a year or two ago. I thought it was just a boxing movie, something like rocky or something.

I don't think reading the synopsis would have affected me like that movie did. I thought about it for days afterwards.

I disagree with your movie watching routine. A movie is more than just its plot.

The state of the system can be cached after the system prompt is calculated and all new chats start from that state. O(n^2) is not great but apparently its fine at these context lengths and I'm sure this is a factor in their minimum prompt cost. Advances like grouped query or multi head attention or sparse attention will eventually get rid of that exponential, hopefully.

And it gets churned by every single request they receive.

Not true, it gets calculated once and essentially baked into initial state basically and gets stored in a standard K/V prefix cache. Processing only happens on new input (minus attention which will have to content with tokens from the prompt)

In my area street parking is banned on collection day until 5pm. This is also when they do street cleaning. Somehow everyone finds room for all their cars on this day. Otherwise its similar to how you describe.

Guilty of garage as a storage shed, but its also crazy to me people don't store their second most expensive asset inside their garage.

Read every word. i liked this detail in the footnotes:

The Astro Compass needed to know approximately where in the sky to find the star, in order to point its sensor in the right direction. The direction didn't need to be exact because the Astro Compass performed a spiral search pattern to find the star. This search pattern covered ±4° in bearing and ±2.5° in altitude. In comparison, the Moon is 0.5° wide, so it's a fairly large target area. ↩
