Oooh that sounds good! I’ve been meaning to add fermented stuff to my diet.

Maybe try water kefir first then. I've got mine for 5 years now at least, making 2 bottles every couple of weeks or so.

Kefir is easier and quicker to make than kombucha, there is no caffeine and maybe less sugar. Probably the best intro to fermented drinks!


me too, thinking of buying fruit juices and yeasts. These taxes are killing me.

Spell it correctly.

An arrogant anesthesiologist is boring cliche by the way. It’s this likely site has many, many people considerably smarter than you.

Turn down the arrogance no one gives a shit what you used to be able to do.


1. noted (see above)

2. "likely"? Rather, certain.

3. "Turn down the arrogance no one gives a shit what you used to be able to do." I will take this to heart and try to do better. I do appreciate your taking the time to address my issue.


Small world! I’m doing it on the mid/south Oregon coast! Started with a late neighbors trees and went from there!

My work and operation is small, limited to residential yards/gardens and particularly focused on dwarf and columnar varieties.

Used your site quite a bit! Thanks for making it.


Good stuff! I honestly didn't know anyone used it so I'm happy to hear that

Testing for humans when he’s enslaved all us normies.

If you click on the time the person you ‘can’t reply’ (where it says ‘n minutes’ or ‘n hours ago’) posted their comment you can reply to your hearts content.

This is what I did to reply to you.

You don’t have to say ‘ can’t reply’ then quote someone like that.

Context is preserved better the proper way but it’s not very discoverable.


And literally boasted how it was going to obsolete white collar workers. Like of course most people are cheering for its failure.

I’ll cheer for the failure of anything Altman does, and I’m not usually so antagonistic to a CEO.

If they spin-off Codex, I’ll buy; but would never fund anything where he’s involved. My .02


It’s Orion that’s dodgy as fuck not the booster. I.e the new thing. Not the decades old, proven, launch engines.

Let’s wait for the back patting when they splash down.

I genuinely hope not but i am worried about this craft.


>Not the decades old, proven, launch engines.

Which are, I will note, being expended on this single launch, despite being designed, built, and functioning over decades as re-usable engines.


Just like to point out the a SRBs aren’t really the same.

> Orion that’s dodgy as fuck not the booster. I.e the new thing

I mean, newly shaped and partly reformulated.

Avcoat was “originally created…for the Apollo program” [1]. (“A reformulated version was used for the initial Orion heat shield and later for a redesigned Orion heat shield.”) The new things are Orion’s size and weight and the size of the tiles. All of which has precedented flight in Artemis I.

At the end of the day, I’m going to trust the astronauts. This issue was openly discussed, despite NASA’s original—and fair to criticize—instinct to cover it up. While any manned reëntry is a nail biter, I don’t think this one is especially so.

Aren't astronauts by definition bat shit crazy? We have people lining up for one-way missions to Mars. Not to say this is a bad thing, but their ROI calculations are not normal.

> Aren't astronauts by definition bat shit crazy?

By poetic definition, e.g. “Here’s to the Crazy Ones,” yes. Clinically and technically, no. They’re paragons of human explorers, and exploration is a fundamentally human trait.

> We have people lining up for one-way missions to Mars

How many astronauts?


I think sometimes, clinically: yes.

> How many astronauts?

More than we can send. Wasn't there a country-wide competition?


> sometimes, clinically: yes

Sure. Compared to population, no.

> More than we can send

Which astronauts said they’d be fine with a one-way mission?

> Wasn't there a country-wide competition?

Was there? You’re the one making the claim.


Glad you agree with the crazy.

Google is your friend re; Mars one-way astronauts.


> Glad you agree with the crazy

I don’t. Having mental illness in a population below baseline rates isn’t crazy. Nowak’s story is notable for a reason.

> Google is your friend re; Mars one-way astronauts

So you don’t have a source. Because I’m not finding any astronauts going on the record on this.


Because it adds nothing to the conversation and has a Reddit vibe and that goes down like a lead balloon in these here parts, cowboy.


Hallucinations have been solved?! That’s great news! Must have missed that.


Hallucinations have been solved?!

Apparently not, because no one but you implied that they had been.

There are prompting strategies that improve the odds greatly, but like the GGP, you've made up your mind, so it's a waste of time to argue otherwise.


i think they are referring to statements that they have "solved" hallucinations and it wont be a problem anymore (which it obviously isn't yet anyways)

My guess is that post-training has gotten a lot better in the last couple of years and what people are attributing to better models are actually just traditional (non-LLM) models they place on top of the LLM which makes it appears that the model has increased in quality (including by seemingly fewer hallucination).

If this is the case it would be observed with different prompting strategies, when you find a prompt which puts more weight on the post-training models.


These people literally gods to me growing up. My parents were poorer than others so we never had any computer better than an acorn electron but the demos my friends with amigas and Atari ST’s showed my blew my mind.
