Not so much brain fog, but instead constant coughing and nose running. I wonder if my immune system took a hit from covid and that is prolonging the effects of the current virus.

ML techniques have a lot of productive uses. Perhaps even LLMs and other generative approaches find their useful place one day. It takes effort and grit to find those productive uses and make them pay, which has been the case for any new technology I’ve seen come to the fore over the past good few decades. Chasing quick profits never delivered the results, and it never will.

There is simply no excuse for his thumb in the eye. He deserves a very lengthy ban.

 

I think we have here a perfect case for a community service order: wheelbarrow, shovel, off you go.

Larry has been a constant fixture of politics and UK foreign relations for a fair while. Just today he was part of the UK-France discourse.

I think he deserves a state funeral when he eventually passes. Should we create a parliamentary petiton?

 

What a way for Black Sabbath to bow out. Were you there or watch the stream? What did you think?

 

Modern technology threw some curveballs this year. I hope everybody had a great time regardless.
