@upshine3 At the farmer's market, watched a vendor hand back $8 change is a $5, a $2, and a $1 bill. "It's $8". "Yes. That's what I gave you." "No, $8!" "Right." Me: "Ma'am... that's a $2 bill" Oh.

@meathead I like using a beer boiler burner connected to a propane tank with a high pressure regulator. Makes a fine wok burner and, as with charcoal, moves the cooking outside. High heat wok cooking produces wonderful smells, but they stick around forever.

@SecKennedy What a crock. One very short quick search reveals a dozen+ countries with significantly lower life expectancy than the US.

@grok Does the new @grok still look up @elonmusk's tweets to construct responses?

@clarkcox What printer? Sounds kinda typical. Every time a printer works well for a while, boom! Something random breaks. I compare it to owning a British mid century sports car. Always on the verge of a major electrical and/or mechanical fault.

@meathead Uni is one of those foods where "good" is nasty, but "excellent" is truly excellent. West coast uni is amazing. Japanese Uni is better than good. East coast and most, not all, mediterranean uni is yuck. And it has to be dammed fresh. Should not be liquidy at all.

@meathead One trick my mom discovered: Cut the ends of the legs off and the white ligaments pull right out after roasting, leaving turkey legs with no stringy bits. I roast via the Martha Stewart wine/butter soaked cheesecloth method for a perfect browned crispy skin.

@GrillinFool Pork steak is amazing!! They are showing up well outside of St Louis these days. I've found 'em in both Safeway & Nob Hill in California. Similar; Lamb Steaks. Same thing-- slice a lamb shoulder into steaks. Delicious.

@BWJones Nothing is ever really deleted on an SD card... ... that fact has saved me a couple of times.

@elonmusk It's great that you created community notes so that the community can repeatedly point out how utterly wrong you so often are.

@clarkcox @CerberusXt v5 / v6.1 seem go for more variation. But you can still provide prompts that will lead to gravity wells of various characters. Kinda fun to suss out the models that way and try to find the strange attractors.

Right when I'm about ready to bring back my weblog and figured WordPress was good enough.... ... WordPress seems to have exploded?! Any suggestions? I'd like remote posting, photo galleries, and code formatting.

@eric_xin9 @toarchkumar @MattBruenig Missing reply before: Is being perfect even the right goal? The current L5 requires the car to drive in situations where no sensible human would opt to go because safety. And no driver on the road is perfect, yet driving mostly works.

@clarkcox @CerberusXt Later models seem to go for more variation. (Then there is LOAB -- that's a fun story). This is v4:

@clarkcox @CerberusXt Midjourney circa v3 or v4: You toss garbage at it -- literally "asdhfdsahhaksdfoipasdf" -- and you'd get the same rendered women out. Lots of variant, but same basic face recipe, freckles, and always with some sort of Borg like bits on one cheek (or fish scales). Every time.

@eric_xin9 @toarchkumar @MattBruenig Or is "really super safe like 1,000,000x safer than human drivers" good enough? I don't know. What I do know after putting 10K+ miles of mostly highway on FSD (or the prior FSD-lite) stack, is that I can send more hours behind the wheel, arrive more rested, and feel very safe.
