I bought one of their long style bbq lighters and was so angry when it didn't have a refill port. The thing cost over 10 €, how does it not have a refill port?

Hmm, this must be fake, in Finland it is a truth universally acknowledged that a swedish man in possession of a computer must be in want of another man.

Oh boy that ending was brutal, they were toying with him.

You need to post this into the SCP-wiki my man.

Somehow I assume this is not AI and if so... That's one chill kitty.

I think the poster forgot to finish their sentence with 'that they were'

That would amount to over half of fossil fuel expenditure.

Cherries, apples, plums in the northern edge of the temperate zone. Recently added buckthorn and blackcurrant although they are not really trees.

I bought an old property with ca 35 year old apple trees and 15 year old cherry / plum all of which had been left abandoned for about a decade. Their size is a problem. The apple trees are very tall and making contact with the building. I have a 7m long saw for trimming them amd I tend to take off one big branch per year and lots of small ones. Really big ones get the chainsaw, which is used to process the branches into firewood.

The cherries produce a lot of small bushlings. I manage them with a clearing saw.

We built a composting toilet which we use to process human waste. That one is emptied to an enclosed thermal compost for about 1-2 years more before being used. Last year we don't add more stuff to ensure it's safe to use. Kitchen and garden waste goes to an open compost. When we mow the "lawn" which is more like a field we let the clippings fall where they may to keep the nutrients in.

We process wood and sticks into mulch we use with paper to protect the bushes from weeds.

I apologize for my lack of gardening vocabulary.

Adult hedgehogs are also safe to pet, but only if they want to.

When I was a kid, I found one in the woods. At first it would ball up or escape when I arrived, but eventually it would fold down the spikes to let me pet it.

I would have probably noticed too – I had legos in the 90s and had never seen a lime piece until much later.

I don't consider myself a lego enthusiast, just an old dude who played with them when I was a kid.

Thanks, I think this is a good clarification, I had not encountered rerankers outside this specific implementation.

Obviously they were assuming balloons were filled with supervacuum. We have had 100 years and not invented even that.

Truly we have failed our ancestors.

For those (like me 10 minutes ago) who wonder what are reranker models...

Reranker models are models which can evaluate the semantic similarity of two pieces of text. They can be used to improve RAG systems which use embeddings to look for relevant documents. The reranker model can then be used to select the best candidates.

This improves the result, because reranker models look at the two pieces of content simultaneously and can be fine tuned to the domain in question. They shouldn't be used for the initial retrieval because the evaluation time is O(n²) as each combination of input and document pair needs to be evaluated as a pair.

That may be, but the finnish word for a car window washer is "pissapoika" which translates to "piss boy".

But of course.

The only choice if you are buying one to run a local LLM-AI-Girlfriend.

Si vis pacem, para bellum.

I don't think they solved the smelly nerd problem. Replacing the scent cartridge requires disassembling the card. For someone who can't be bothered to shower, how do they expect their users to do this to smell nice?

For 2. I feel also like arriving with shields up and then bringing them down is a strong message too, when communicating peaceful intent. Familiar races would also come to recognize that this is how starfleet does things and not consider the default aggressive.

I just had the opposite happen.

I needed to get an analog audio signal out from an old PS3, but it has an odd proprietary connector.

How a converter cable for that ended in my cable bin Ill never know, but the purpose of the bin has been vindicated for at least a decade.
