If you’re missing your potato in #CambridgeMA, it’s at the Mt Auburn St & DeWolfe St bus stop.

581) Thommybot. Actual smol robot person. Doesn't like being looked at, but also doesn't like being ignored. Says it needs to look at the horrors "for work". #SmallRobotsRemastered
@sil (I'm saying this as someone who does not use AI in a personal basis but is in the presence of its use in a professional basis - it's not my happy-place or hobby)
@sil in the case of bankers and stockbrokers it's literally educated-guesswork (when done legally) so an ideal use-case for the guesswork-machine.
when done illegally it's called insider-trading, and you should see how good the guesswork-machine can do when you forget to tell it the rules of the game or how much of what information to use...
the whole field is basically mathematical probability with a dollar-sign in front, so you don't even need a complex LLM to flip that coin enough times.

I know that Elon Musk gets a lot of hate on here, but hear me out.
I think we could hate him more. We have the capacity, we all just need to put in a little more effort.

For the past almost a year, I’ve been building a fully working, 1:1 scale Tune Thumper Bike from Mario Kart World!
Full build video: https://youtu.be/vbM31wagyRg
The bike is fully functional. The cassette tape door is also a Nintendo switch 2 dock, so when you put the switch in and plug in hdmi to tv, it outputs without any other power source needed.
Specs:
~65mph top speed
~70lb
Fully functioning buttons, speakers, lights, antenna, nintendo switch 2 dock
wood, steel, and a ton of 3d printing

Hi blog writers: You don’t have to attach a unique image to every blog post, and you *certainly* don’t need to use #AI to generate an image for every blog post. You may think AI-generated images make your posts more attractive, but you are mistaken; they are doing the opposite: they make your posts more *repulsive* to a good number of potential readers. If I see an AI-generated image in the preview, I won’t click through to read your post, I won’t boost the post that mentions your post, and I certainly won’t read the rest of your blog.
Edit: I cataloged some places that offer free images you can use instead: https://sfba.social/@drahardja/117177553434931602

@mattround (we had a medium sized datacentre for quite a long while by the A46, but it was hella expensive to run/maintain and wasn't anywhere near Big Datacentre in scale terms or power requirements. still quite loud locally, still hyper-local annoyances vs jobs balances to make)
@mattround closed-loop renewables requirement for power and water, rather than grid.
you want a datacentre, sure thing, but it's going to need to be energy and water neutral from the outset.
need 100MW and 3billion litres of water? not a problem. your site now includes a tidal/solar/wind farm for power, lotsa batteries for in-fill and sag, plus a reservoir.
that alone will make either MS-style underwater container farms A Thing again, or more remote/cheaper areas being flooded with infra.
