Oh the ag. collapse could be, at the very least, interesting.
Bad enough that the lions share of the industry will need major handouts, or more likely that farm after farm will be bought out for land-lease to former owners, and then given handouts to offset purchase price. But, the midwest corporate cash crop farms have been fighting tooth and nail against soil conservation methods just to squeeze a few extra bucks out.
I so hope we don’t end up getting into another dust bowl.
I’d highly recommend folks look at keeping up a community garden or two if possible, or helping out at one if not.
What’s the old metrics?
Private industry costs three bucks to do what public does for one.
The Department of Defense War hasn’t passed an audit for 8 years straight, high percentage of contract deliverables being immediately retired, resold domestically, or outright never delivered.
Of course they’re going to stuff their pockets as much as possible. It’s the only thing they’re actually able to do, and barely competently at that.
Modern internet for you.
It may be far from perfect, but it’s why I have such a soft spot for alternative to modern social media. If I’m going to put my through a slog of keeping these sorts of official social media accounts ip and running, I might as well make it a nicer experience.
Best part: the better names in the alt os and device scenes don’t sell in us markets.
Unless you do the legwork of flashing your own device, most of us are out of luck.
I just love a good market stranglehold.
I can understand why he’d like the concept, he can’t think for himself afterall.
I would say absolutely in the general sense nost people, and the salesmen, frame them in.
When I was invited to assist with the GDC development, I got a chance to partner with a few AI developers and see the development process firsthand, try my hand at it myself, and get my hands on a few low parameter models for my own personal use. It’s really interesting just how capable some models are in their specific use-cases. However, even high param. models easily become useless at the drop of a hat.
I found the best case, one that’s rarely done mind you, is integrate the model into a program that has the ability to call a known database. With a properly trained model to format output in both natural language and use a given database for context calls, and concrete information, the qualitative performance leaps ahead by bounds. Problem is, that requires so much customization it pretty much ends up being something a capable hobbyist would do, it’s just not economically sound for a business to adopt.
