Am I being dumb, or is this not making any sense? Thanks, but no thanks, Google, I think I'll work this out for myself. I've mainly used DuckDuckGo recently, so it is interesting to see this. #AI #smallbusiness

Machine learning is only truly effective and efficient for a small number of tasks when done right.

Large Language Models in particularly are only good for a small subset of Machine Learning tasks.   None of these tasks are best done with a single monolithic "AI" machine.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

Mine was Watership Down. I was 12ish and couldn’t believe there was a story like this in existence. I’ve been spellbound ever since.

WARNING: This post is going to get geeky! 🤓
After using Adobe's graphic suite for many years, we switched to using Affinity at the end of 2024.
This was partly because of the price. Adobe charges upwards of £50 per month, per user, for its software. Affinity charges a one-time fee of under £200...🧵

US Envoys arrived today and are pleading with our leaders to refrain from imposing retaliatory tariffs. We initially denied their pleas until their ambassador returned wearing a suit and thanked us for existing.

When I talk about the negative consequences of the internet, I don’t mean the internet is fundamentally bad or that it should be destroyed or that people shouldn’t be able to connect at scale. What I mean is that the most popular internet platforms have been weaponized to incentivize bad behavior
