We used to buy it all the time when we were in Italy and France and the quality was really good. Here in the US we are finding it very difficult to find good ready-made 'pasta sfoglia' :( Any tips ?

That looks gorgeous! Do you make the flaky pastry yourself ?

The decision to use LLMs where they make no sense is mostly being made unilaterally, and for profit at the cost of human suffering. So after the bubble bursts we will simply return to how it was before. Because the power dynamics are so skewed there is no accountability.

This is how science loses credibility. What a disgrace.

Really well written. Not only is the pain fed to numb souls. They are borderline annoyed souls. I had a conversation the other day where someone told me the most interesting stories for them were about the pain of the soldiers and the power-struggle amongst the mid-level generals in the army. Like a bleeping soap opera. The plight and pain of invaded peoples is so routine that it has no effect on the brain except of general pity and avoidance.

Many many moons ago when deviant Art was still new I had done something similar. The collaboration sort of fell through. But it's so wonderful to be able to collaborate, given both can be such solitary art forms!

Is there a list of all Facebook/meta/threads servers in the fediverse? And is there a way to block all of them like a filtering add-on for mastodon or some setting I may have missed ?

Apple has singlehandedly screwed up the usability of personal computers. I have an M2 air which cannot power two monitors. I cannot attach usb-A devices like an external keyboard, mouse, external discs, I cannot attach an ethernet cable.
Unless, of course, I buy a very expensive hub. Cheaper hubs (like the one I have) will not support all that.
What is the use of all this bandwidth when you can't use it? Benchmarks? Fast browser-machines? What a waste of tech.

-- EDIT: Added more details --
Question: What is your hardware and software of choice for reading and annotating books/PDFs ? I am looking for opensource or one-time buy options. No renting.
I'm looking for something cross-platform that will work on linux, android and macos.

It would also require enforcing more UIX on devs. I find the macos implementation of most things quite inefficient and thoughtless beyond a very shallow use case. They seem mostly for show, so gnome is lightyears ahead. I hope they will not get influenced by the likes of elementary.
Also, that's just my opinion ofc and I know most mac users do not agree.

"Do not hallucinate. Do not make up factual information..."
Apple doing what it was created to do. Selling things that create an impression that they work rather than things that actually work. LLMs should fit right in.
