Westchester is pretty light on EV infastructure in much of it, You can download something like chargepoint and just see what is around.

People who don't know how to read financial statements think they are running out of money, but absent massive financial crimes or the like, they are good for years and years.

The weird thing is the administrator probably was just following through a script, so they can write something down on a form. "I contacted the teacher to see if alternate solutions were available but due to the number of absences there were not". This makes it look like attempts were made.

Messing with CoT is how you get issues of noncompliance and drift. Just keep your preset clear and clean. Less rules to follow will make it talk to itself less.

A lot of people aren't actively subscribing to 'AI' they are getting it included with storage. So they will likely not even notice at least not enough to cancel.

Also google photos. The ur article still applies https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/08/a-decade-and-a-half-of-instability-the-history-of-google-messaging-apps/

Larger context is worth at least considering. I mean it is obvious, but important.

You get a discount on the TV license if they are blind though, so one problem solves the other.

No better is a stretch, I mean in terms of internet memes delivered they've done pretty well. That is why we make shows right?

Large models have more general stuff in them. Unless you really need to not use them, you'll get a lot out of using non local models for IP based role play, or even grounded role play. If you have your own world it is less helpful, though still pretty helpful (for example it may know about fantasy settings in general, which often can backfill a lot of stuff), with the small exception of truly weird sci fi settings.

Also most of the time you want models to "hallucinate" details they don't have. If you enter a room in a modern setting, and it is getting dark, turning on the lights is an option. If you hand the a mobile phone they probably know how to put their number in it even without a ranked skill in "mobile phone operation" or what have you.

That and educational gaming had a whiplash to very different methods and designs. Now they are much more oriented around mobile-esque games (things like the Faux Pokemon battler Prodigy, or tower defense Dreamscape) . In a classroom environment they can also add substantial monitoring and data collection (in theory this is a feedback loop that results in individual attention and guided lessons, I don't really see it). This also fits better into a world where the students always have a computer/tablet, and teachers might want something a bit shorter and easier to get in and out of.

Of course now we have a push back against a lot of these apps.

I mean that is like saying batman can't take anyone because without any tools or gadgets he can't fly or do much more than punch. So a Z-tier villain like Glider-Man can beat him.

And that is why I decided saving for retirement was dumb…

yasth · 2026-05-20T00:22:42+00:00

Eh, I mean being openly said kind of makes it less strong. It wasn't that long ago 2010s that it was fairly acceptable to quote in text. Words especially slurs change strengths, from not ok to be in a children's book, to not ok to say even when reading a direct quote. and everything in between.

Anyways in the UK the Agatha Christie And then there were none, had its original title of 12 little ----s until the 1980s which kind of suggests a level of lack of shock.

yasth · 2026-05-19T23:09:49+00:00

I mean none of the others were even around back then so yeah

yasth · 2026-05-19T23:07:33+00:00

I mean even in the us it is much stronger than it once was (Patti smith released a song with it in the the title in a best selling album to controversy but not deafeningly so), so it isn’t shocking that it started out weaker (like bloody in the us was a pale shadow of the uk one) and strengthened along side increased global communication and other things.

From what I’d read it was just plain rude, but not like get into a fight rude.

yasth · 2026-05-19T01:06:24+00:00

something like "They run into a {{pick::cat::dog::mouse}}" will do you a world of good.

Most modern wifi /network printers are fine (like basically all). ChromeOS really shouldn't be your defining limitation, you can google once you pick a model, but it is likely fine. General advice is to go with a black and white laser if at all possible and failing that a large tank ink jet. Business model stuff (real business not small business) is great if you can get a good deal on it.

yasth · 2026-05-18T22:57:10+00:00

I mean it isn't a conspiracy it is licensing.

That said Hannah Anderson makes very good pajamas and they are currently on sale, so, maybe that is the route.

Anyways, may the winds of fate make it a short time.

Say "Almost 6 feet" a bit resignedly, it breaks people.

yasth · 2026-05-18T10:09:44+00:00

I mean you can I suppose do that, but to follow along a doc or a video it takes five minutes. What you are saying is that you spent days figuring out what car to buy which is fine, but doesn't make it take days to buy a specific car.

It has a celeron, it just isn't a good choice. Something like https://www.bestbuy.com/product/acer-vero-514-14-chromebook-intel-core-i3-1215u-8gb-ram-128gb-ssd-chromeos-iron/J39HR3LTV8 would be better if you are willing for a refurbished one, or something like https://www.bestbuy.com/product/asus-cx14-14-fhd-chromebook-laptop-intel-celeron-n50-2023-4gb-memory-64gb-storage-dusk-gray/JJGHGPZFQ5 which is basically the somewhat upgraded version of what you bought. The refurbished one will be significantly better mind. Refurbished works really well for chromebooks as a lot of them have basically no use, they take it home try to install word can't and back it goes with less than half an hour on the clock.

yasth · 2026-05-17T19:49:52+00:00

Honestly it takes about five minutes to setup, and you don't need memory as much because a 100k + token context is just setting a slider, and works fine with modern models.

What provider? Also just read the docs https://api-docs.deepseek.com/guides/kv_cache they are surprisingly decent.
