The last time I went to a doctor, they read a list of questions from a form, entered my answers into their system, and then said they'd get back to me in a couple weeks to tell me if my insurance company would allow a follow-up. That appointment should have been a web page.

Most doctor's appointments I've had recently have followed the same pattern. A good doctor is invaluable. A burnt-out noob doctor following strict procedure is like a worse GPT that your have to meet in a building full of every conceivable virus, and that costs $500 instead of $0.05. A motivated layman with GPT4 and a prescription pad would have beaten 3 out of 4 doctors I've seen since covid.

This is just my experience in the US mind you. Maybe I've had bad luck with humans, but I haven't been impressed since all of the experienced ones retired.

This is based on a misunderstanding of how prices are set. The price is set based on what the market can bear. Costs pretty much only determine if the thing is worth making, given that.

It's the same reason rent doesn't go down when property taxes do. I mention this not to tear you down, but because it's a common argument for bad policy.

I use separate buttons for that, but it has pages, so you could do something with that.

I have something similar to this, but I initially used an old android tablet running Macro Deck, an open source application that basically replies a stream deck. It has a good ecosystem of plugins for stuff like home assistant, and it was easy to add command line stuff to talk to custom electronics.

The upgrade path is good too. I ultimately switched it out for custom hardware, but it just sends keyboard shortcuts to trigger macro deck.

GMO is kind of a red herring. It is often done to allow plants to survive Round Up, which had recently been shown to have toxic effects. There's also compelling evidence that many people who think they can't tolerate gluten actually can't tolerate Round Up.

The genetic modification isn't intrinsically a problem, but the chemicals that plants need to be modified to tolerate are.

I did. I'm not convinced the author knows the space very well though. There are larger models out there with similarly absent safety features. This isn't a remarkable release, and the tone is of ragebait.

Guardrails are a term of art for something like Nemo, which is more like the unreal ramen shop demo or a corporate chatbot. Most raw open models I've tried will tell you how to make meth if you ask them.

It's a 7b model. There are plenty of other larger open source models out already. I fail to see the issue.

Thanks! Might steal that for my setup.

I'm not sure, but what are the wheels mapped to? Are they scroll or mouse x/y/something else?

I once used it to throw an unreachable chest into a chaam out of spite...

If you haven't played Inscryption, just ignore everything else and do that first. It's the most innovative deckbuilding game I've played, but saying more would spoil it.

Ascension is a short-ish one I've sunk a lot of hours into. It's sort of like dominion meets Magic. The expansions make it a lot more interesting, but the full package is pretty cheap. It was designed by an MTG pro player who was sick of exactly that.

Black book is excellent, and managers to put a compelling narrative spin on a TCG.

Monster train is a good "it's like slay the spire, but not slay the spire" option for when you just can't look at another shiv.

 
 
 
 
 

I'm still obsessed with No Man's Sky and Skyrim. Something about VR hiking is just magical.
