Yeah attack the country churning out military drones by the thousands. Of course they’re going to deplete air defences.

Yeah I still have bacon reader on my phone. I click it accidentally sometimes and it shows their goodbye message. 😭

That said I’m a Summit man now. Very happy with it!

It’s not sad in terms of numbers. It’s sad in terms of the implementation. It’s pretty much only the kernel… Yes I know all the utilities and applications is really GNU and not Linux, but that’s what people think of when they say they run Linux.

So yes all android phones technically run Linux, but you’re not getting a Unix flavoured experience at all. It might as well not have been linux.

Hence the sadness.

I’ve seen similar in Vietnam and Thailand too (this year). So I’m guessing it’s common across South East Asia.

It is. In the fediverse everything is open otherwise federation wouldn’t work.

Or use sudo?

Did you get the memo?

Really well. Temp turned down all the way, and Gemini has this new feature to run and execute code… Not function calling… It can write a small python script, run it and return the output.

So our prompt explains the excel spreadsheet, then tell it exactly the format we need it in, and then tell it to use python and pandas to read in the CSV, clean it up and reshape it the way we need it to match what we expect and voila.

So hallucinations are not really and issue with the data as it’s simply writing code which then deterministically processes and returns the data.

Edit to add more info: basically Gemini can create and run a lambda function on the fly. And if you’re a coder you can really guide the prompt. Eg "load this into pandas. Then remove all the empty columns. Also remove the total rows. Now unpivot the data so the months are not columns but in separate rows with a column called month.

You get the idea.

Strangely enough we actually solved this problem with AI a few months back. We upload the excel file to Gemini and have a prompt to extract the data we need in a specific json format. And it works surprisingly well.

Let me rephrase. It’s not advisable to be stateless when you’re trying to emigrate voluntarily.

You can’t really be stateless so I presume they had or got some other citizenship first.

6 times a charm!

But seriously, isn’t there some requirement that the judge have passed the bar exam or something?

Well he has to pick up the slack now that Canada is not buying USA liquor.

Scott Galloway on YouTube often mentions this on his podcasts. That Harvard and a few others have turned from being a university with money to a private equity fund with some students.

Delta = change and v = velocity

So delta v is change in velocity

Also known as acceleration. It’s just the "spacey* term for it.

Now in space there’s generally nothing slowing you down except gravity… So to add delta v you simply run your engine or burn your rocket. But that uses fuel which is why it’s hard to “add enough delta v to overcome our orbital velocity”… You need a whole lot of fuel compared to the mass you’re trying to move.

Hey Janelle, what’s wrong with Wolfie? I can hear him barking. Is he all right?

It might be our only way out. Send Musk and the Magats there. Toxic sand can only help.

Look I don’t doubt you’ve met these people but it’s not everywhere. Here in Australia the kids still learn this at school.

My daughter is in primary school and they’ve learned to use a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation software etc.

So they can all use a keyboard and mouse and she’s done some school projects as PowerPoint slideshows.

Can they afford to stay?
