We *really* need to actively differentiate Machine Learning from GenAI. GenAI is riding the Machine Learning coattails and risks destroying an incredibly useful innovation by conflating it with absolute slop that codes decently.

I made the mistake of believing that it'll be easy for me to move since there are two weeks overlap where I have access to both my old and new apartment." This will make it less stressful," I thought, and not "moving will be my entire thing for two full weeks."

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

Met a small flock of Pine Grosbeaks on the weekend. The males are red, and the females are this gorgeous gold/bronze colour. Bird guides often say “yellow” but that doesn’t work for these beauties #birds 🌿

Yesterday I took this striking picture of the clouds in between reading memes. The future is good sometimes.
Not that good but, you know, you take what you can get.

Love to see Finland getting some of the international attention it rightly deserves in this thread. It's one of my favourite places I've visited, 10/10 experience even the salmiakki.
