LLMs hallucinate, & they hallucinate WORSE on topics we don't already know/write a lot about. This creates a huge accuracy gap.

This week I tested ChatGPT on Beethoven & Smyth to show how big this gap is & why it matters. It made up a LOT.

It'll get even cheaper as we put more money into solar, and the infrastructure built will be energy produced constantly for ages whereas gas has to be competitive while extracting new gas constantly

Fossil fuel giant wins $370 million tax break for burning gas as an β€˜alternative fuel’
The IRS ruling appears to allow one of the world’s largest exporters of natural gas to claim its heavily polluting tankers are low-emissions β€œmotorboats.”

I cannot ever stop tearing my hair out about climate activists being labelled 'unrealistic' when the fossil fuel business bros persistently do shit like this

Alternate timeline where the guy in Cianwood hands you a Sneasel because Silver's running around looking all menacing so you end up battling Silver with his trump card, the second Pokemon he vilely stole,

Orange/Purple is essentially a Red/Blue color scheme despite the slight variation thereof. Same reason Scarlet/Violet isn't not Red/Blue despite technically being Red/Purple

Anyone interpreting this in one of many ways should take a minute and read BACK, which is by the same guy (and his buddy!) as the comic this is from.

I don’t know enough about UK politics but the result from Gorton and Denton suggests that Reform’s policy of being horrible people may have backfired.

I think a lot of surprises are possible and by running a Dem in every race Dems will see some huge net gains.
However, that's not the same as Texas proper turning blue.

These are β€œlow enrollment” majors but the classes are regularly at capacity. They changed the funding structure a few years ago here, switching the allocation from course enrollments to majors then blamed these departments for a structural, top-down change. This is entirely a political choice.

BEHOLD the largest freshwater fish species in the world: the Beluga Sturgeon!

FINALLY got to see one in person at the Great Lakes Aquarium in Duluth along with the @garlab.bsky.social Team at the @mnafs.bsky.social @amfisheriessoc.bsky.social meeting!

What an incredible fish!

Question for anyone who played Refined Platinum Overhaul!
Are you on MelonDS? Desmume? Twilight Menu?

If you have used the Underground and gone mining, how often does it crash, if at all?
I want to confirm whether the Underground is or isn't stable, especially when playing on TWM et al.

just sayin

if you cancelled your Nitro, you can sub to an artist's patreon instead likely for a lot less monthly.

Example: Someone like @adorkastock.com at the highest tier will still save you $5~ a month & gets you a shitload of pose refs & supports small biz doing a global good

win win!

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying β€œthis doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to β€œtrans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.
