Chatbots β€” LLMs β€” do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re β€œright” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

β€œMy name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

I was fortunate enough to get to see Brian Wilson perform Smile live in Boston when the album came out. There wasn’t a dry eye anywhere in the auditorium. Just a beautiful moment that I’ll never forget.

Back in the air after a major overhaul of the Skywagon’s engine. Super grateful to be able to slip the surly bonds of earth once in a while.

When your business model is based on plagiarism/theft, it may be time to reconsider your business model

My local Subaru dealer here in Oregon has been calling me every day for the last week to tell me to buy a Subaru before the tariffs kick in.

The data from these balloon radiosondes also go into the GFS (global forecast system), which is one of the the numerical forecasting systems that form the basis for essentially all weather forecasts. Not launching them as usual degrades weather predictions globally.

My 1959 Cessna Skywagon is in the shop for an engine overhaul for the next few months. I find myself looking back at last summer’s adventures. Here, camping at Red’s Horse Ranch in the Wallowas of eastern Oregon.

I’ve been a subscriber to TapeOp now for almost 20 years. It’s the only magazine I can think of where I’ve held on to every issue. Just gold for anyone interested in music creation and recording.

Just released Deep Weather 5.0 with a new animated radar view based on National Weather Service data. As always: no ads, no tracking. Just the best weather data.

Random first post on here: Building a DIYre Neve 1073 preamp clone for the home studio. Haven’t built any electronics for 35 years, but this kit and instructions are great. Super fun November project!
