One last cocktail run downstairs for the year. app.foursquare.com/share/checki...

How many VTubers would kill to be getting 42k people watching you sleep on stream?

The most TSKR stream of the year. www.youtube.com/live/t1AOkD7...

Miko very unhappy with her bets in the Arima Kinen. Seeing the bet sizes, not surprised. 😂😂😂

Yo

Yay, the @vta.org Holly Trolley is at least running this weekend since it’s dry. Fun times!

Slightly sad, as I had found this place this year, and it was a nice enough place to go get a lunch after shopping at the Electronics Flea. Had all sorts of posters on the wall and everything. www.sfgate.com/food/article...

Geebus. As burns go, that’s spicy.

Pfft. His mother would’ve just glided across the entire floor in one move.

Woot is currently selling 64 and 32 megabyte RAM sticks as a joke 😭

you can def network vertically, but prioritize networking horizontally surround yourself with kind, hardworking, and talented friends, and it’s only a matter of time before your careers go places also: if you can’t take an opportunity, pass it on to a friend who’d do just as well if not better

Thankfully I was still up, but man, that kind of freaked me out for a moment. For situational reasons I’m not worried about it at the moment, but it was really noisy.

メリクリ！

meowy crimmus to everynyan who celebrates. UNLEASH NERO CLAUDIUS.

Huh. The rat sounds a bit strange all of a sudden. 😂 #telebae

Already Christmas in Japan. You know what that means.

I believe that one of the strongest skills an engineer can have isn't how to make things work, but to see how things can fall apart, and what kind of bad things can/will happen if it does. What's annoying though is being able to see problems that I don't have good insight on how to fix.

Good time to watch Kīlauea now, folks! 🌋

A risk of WHAT??? archive.ph/TkFhZ

Two of these sauces sound interesting delicious. The third sauce also sounds delicious but 110% terrifies me.

Um, okay, game. Sure. (Also, can I have this version of Nemo that can do 9999999 damage to BB for real, please?)

The risk-reward with using AI in law, specifically to draft a filing, is *extremely bad*. This is not because lawyers are more special or precious than artists or coders or whoever else, but because of where the reality check occurs in the process, and the consequences of failing that check.

A legal brief (and I am using this as a general term to cover motions, memos, etc) that is has non-existent legal citations is in a critical way, a legal brief-shaped thing without ever being a legal brief. Not just bad or erroneous legal brief, but so defective as to not be a legal brief at all.

When something is purely form, an x-shaped output is harmless. It might as well be x. If I want website sample text-shaped output, or I want sample financial data-shaped output I get website sample text and sample financial data. A legal brief is different. It has a form but also a function.

I don't think this is quite the correct use of "legal fiction". Instead I will refer to it as the -shaped output problem. LLMs are extremely good at creating x-shaped output, where x is nearly any sort of writing you can imagine. The "shaped" part is that it can do style, tone, and coherency.

I’m so annoyed at myself today for forgetting something important. I hate it so much.

I'm not sure what's more shocking: that they found a way to get through Spotify's DRM in such a bulk fashion that they backed up ~99.6% of listened music files, or that the entirety of it could be fit into around ~300TB. archive.ph/HQP3T

The internet: as predictable as ever in requiring the cat tax. (Yes, OP delivered, see the top comment thread.) www.reddit.com/r/homelab/s/...

Sneaking out to the park to see how Cosplay in the Park is going. But also because I needed a pic with the Christmas fineries.

Huh. Makes me wonder if I can find a certain camera I think is still somewhere around here. youtu.be/nye582xM6to

The lines at the bars in downtown tonight are crazy. People festively blowing their cash

I’m kind of surprised how good the Covid wastewater levels look in the area. While it’s probably a nice idea to wear a mask for public areas, it may more be just to counter flu this season.

Wow, somehow managed to get a CE drop on my first run in FGO on 90+ in the event. You love to see it.

I feel like this is a lie. Mostly because I figure Ina's too old, and would more likely just make a "seven ate nine" reference instead. nitter.poast.org/KosmoKami/st...

Still plenty of time to buy safe gifts for kids!

Watching Milo’s SoulCalibur streams is always fun to see the memes.

Well. That's unexpected.

BART service has stopped between Castro Valley and West Dublin/Pleasanton stations due to a car crash on I-580. A vehicle involved in the crash is on the BART tracks. We do not yet have an ETA for service restoration.
