Leaked Internal Google Document Claims Open Source AI Will Outcompete Google and OpenAI

For a different take on AI, the threat it might or might not pose, and how limited ownership (sic) is designed to control the things we make and do.

Briefly back onto the Farnsworths. Finished both cases, but one of the displays died, and the replacement sent was wrong. So waiting (again) to get the second one running.

Moved the Strowger script and the test card script onto an Internet facing server. Currently, I can only try the test card and remote loop back.

Thank you for this.
There ought to be a word for something one is interested in, and totally intrigued by, but about which one understands not a thing! Your work is that for me.
Brilliant stuff, great pictures.
Like a part of the Time Machine.

Fascinating look back at the audio gear used for The Woodstock “Aquarian Exposition” (aka music festival!) in 1969.

Well worth a read, whether you were there or not...

A deep-dive look at the latest Linux Mint LMDE 6 Faye BETA release:

https://tiffybelle.vivaldi.net/2023/09/20/deep-dive-linux-mint-lmde-6-faye-review/

In this blog post, I opine on why the #Debian Edition of #Mint appeals to me over the main Mint #Ubuntu release.

I also take an in-depth look at what the latest LMDE 6 has to offer, from installation to setting up #Cinnamon after the initial boot.

I had great fun trying the new LMDE out!

Completely agree with the sentiment. Adding #alt-text has become really rare in such a short time. A few months ago most posts I saw had it. Now, most don't. This is a polite request for same - I like it.

The #printmaking is coming along. I’m pretty fond of this mushroom. Also did a shorescape from a recent trip up the Maine coast.

Still see too many flaws, but definitely improving.
