They had to look up Poltroon a few years back when North Korea used it on them.

Has he been seen today? Just wondering.

"[LLMs'] assumptions are shaped by training data drawn predominantly from English-language sources based in the [US]."

That is, stolen without permission given, or compensation given to the authors.

Boy...that took a lot of work. Probably longer for me to sort through it.

Now you've just insulted monkeys everywhere.

Hopefully before they ruin Regina, any more than they've already done that is.

Frigging lunatic

Neat.

The description of Jimmy Page and the tech with him in the recording control room jumping on that "error" to make it permanent must have been hilarious to see. They both realized they'd accidentally done some magic due to the limitations of the 4 track recording hardware.

2 weeks into the war and the USN is already facing food shortages, and ghu know what else they won't tell us. Like having shot through half their missile stockpiles, doing little. Then lying about it of course. Like Hitler's generals sitting around a huge map table, showing non existent units.

Reminded of Napoleon taking Moscow. The Russians didn't surrender. They wouldn't even talk to Boney. They just sat back and let the French run out of patience and supplies. Then the winter hit. I think 20,000 made it back from the over 300,000 that started out. (more)

The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse YouTube video by Rick Beato

Buying an album was a really big deal in those days. Or in the 70's. Limited budget , and you shared it with your friends. All sat around and listened to it. Pre-tape recording. Between a few of us we had a decent set of "hit" LPs. Nothing like now.

Behind the Recording of Led Zeppelin II YouTube video by Mixing Mastering Online

A previous take of Robert Plant was left in, but at the beginning of the section. It was an error, in the time of 4 or 8 track recording sessions. Worked out great. Like a pre-echo.

Oh Lord. 40 years of the myth, influence, and 'angry' drum of Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight In the Air Tonight shaped the sound of the 1980s, but beneath its explosive percussion lies a sinister urban legend.

And background of the musicians. I mean people who can really play their own instruments. And recordings that leave in the glitches and don't smooth them over, like in real life. Some happy accidents worked into songs and wouldn't have happened today.

Sample 1970s playlist of Heavy Metal from Amazon music.

Same for Metal. Just ask Alexa (or type in Amazon or use voice commands) for same. "Play Heavy Metal songs from the 1970s."

You can build your own using Amazon music, or Spotify, etc. And there are already hundreds if not thousands of public ones posted by other users. I asked about Mellow Music from the 1970s, and got a decent selection. music.amazon.com/playlists/B0...

Just remember, they're not bicycles. If that's all you've ever driven (two wheelers) it's going to take a bit of practice to get out of old habits. Not long though. You can't lean them to turn corners for example. You have to slow down instead, take the curve gradually. Especially with passengers.

Oh...rent one to see if you like it. Provincial parks have them usually. Great for seniors or the disabled, like running around the Coop in one of their electric shopping carts. I think Regina has a place that rents them too, probably any city with decent bike paths.

Worst example, they split Moose Jaw right down the middle, making two predominately rural areas out of what should have been only one urban riding. And there are way too many ridings for the population which has been pretty stagnant for 100 years. Twice as many seats as Ottawa with the same pop.

Note, not an A.I. fan except for fun applications, like drawing for kids, pick your own adventure books, that sort of thing (as long as the authors and artists get paid for it). No more stealing or Sampling, without permission or compensation.
The Data Centres are already obsolete, billions wasted.

Alternatives like one person one vote for example, regardless of where they live. Long overdue for some kind of reform. What we have now isn't working fairly across the board. Heavily weighted in favour of rural areas with sometimes not even half the voters as in an urban setting.

I'd love to see what an A.I. does with this. Tell it to draw new districts, based on population and provincial boundaries only, say 130,000 in Canadian federal ridings for example.
There are better computer models out there of course, but probably partisan unless some other country does it for us.

Until they start flinging poo at you.

I'll bet the RM has absolutely no idea what they're building there and what it can do to the environment. Or that the tech is already outdated. 🤦‍♂️

Probably because it's small and a soft target. Easy pickings. And it's not just Americans here 🍁

Change that outdated Bill of Rights and Constitution while you're at it. PLEASE! At least make it easier to get rid of crooked politicians, or lunatics. Make being impeached mean something. Jail time. Never be allowed in public office ever again. Something with teeth.

Really. We're the good guys, we left Elron and his Nazi salute, and trump.
