Nowadays, anyone can be a political cartoonist.

I'm sorry, Benson. We're definitely not going to let you out right now.

I'm reading some article on all these drone sightings in NJ and there are a number of example images of the "strange aircraft people are seeing."

Am I crazy or is this literally just a helicopter?

I was so, so, so looking forward to seeing these guys at the Fillmore this week. Alas, my knee had some other ideas. No punk rock shows for me for the foreseeable future.

(Last time I saw them was 2017 in Berkeley — pre-COVID time doesn't seem real)

Didn't feel any shaking, but got the alert on the phone! Our hanging lights were swaying ever so slightly.

I was trying to compare the reasoning abilities between QwQ and Llama3.2 and had to come up with exceedingly more ridiculous scenarios to try and break Llama3.2.

Alibaba released their QwQ advanced reasoning LLM that you can run on your own devices. Like OpenAI's o1 model, it uses chain-of-thought reasoning to solve complex questions.

It's pretty impressive! However, if you ask it about… oh, let's say the Tiananmen Square Massacre, it shuts you down cold.

Been traveling for work this week — to the mothership (9 years as of today! 🙀). The views from the office are neat.
