China is building the post fossil-fuel world that everyone else (except I guess the U.S.) aspires to. Canada has vast resources to realize that aspiration. Then there's climate change.
Not hard to imagine what the new world order could look like in a century.

One potential drawback of genius, it seems, is restlessness, a mind perpetually on the move. Of course, this is what makes many celebrated thinkers and artists so productive. That and the extra hours ...

I do not own an SNES or a TV that it would work on. I'd still probably buy it if it were in front of me
Mhmm retro collecting is great. Totally cool and reasonable

Dealing with this challenge with specific field extraction right now.
The promise is all future data could be imported easily. The caveat is we'd have to redo all historical work from the current training set as of right now.

As someone who is actively training a model on Transkribus, this is 100% accurate. For most people and most projects, it doesn't make sense to train a custom model. You need so much data to train it, that you might as well just transcribe it all yourself and not go through the trouble of training.
I am reminded that every time someone recommended I use Transkribus to train a model to read the handwritten manuscript novels I was working on, I had to explain that the process required first that I hand-transcribe perfectly clean sample of the hand that was generally 75-100% of the document.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras.
Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom.
They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water.

Time to hunker down and rework my Shasvastii for playing Defiance. I am using color shift paints for the armor panels (Darth Blue) and looking for a second tone when looking at heavier models like the Gwailo, Sheskiin, and the Megalodron. #infinitythegame
