This is Coe Fen in Cambridge, a watercolour drawing from 1998. The tower in the middle distance is the Pitt Building and the other tower is the United Reform Church. This was done on the spot with watercolour and Indian ink.

Let us keep the Defenders of Ukraine in our thoughts and prayers.
RIP - Maksym Yemets, Belarusian fighter Aliaksei Audzei, Oleksandr Mazepa, Liubomyr Zhovnirovych (42)
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place
Eternal Memory!

It’s Russia who needs to be demilitarised , to make world a safer place. Because clearly, Russia can’t handle having an army without constantly attacking its neighbours for no reason. And so maybe Russia shouldn’t have one at all.

GPT would have been such a great technology if LLMs were just used to augment search engines. Their natural language processing ability means they can find relevant content no matter how you phrase your query. No more keyword matching, just ask a question, or describe what you’re looking for. 1/2

Instead, corps decided the better business mode was to have their LLMs plagiarize the source material, rewording it to give the illusion of possessing intrinsic knowledge. This enabled them to con executives into believing these machines can think and will one day surpass human intelligence. 2/2

Been driving for a couple hours. Just got online. Lemme see if I understand. US has been pushing a Ukraine plan for a few days. After some pushback, US Secy of State reveals that in fact it's a Russian plan that was presented to the US. Helluva a misunderstanding.
