Starting a blueberry wine today! 3.5lbs of blueberries hoping for like 15%abv with some added sugars. i didnt have enough to fill up both the 3/4 gal AND the 1/2 gal bottles, so I added some honey to the 1/2gal with a bit of water to start some blueberry mead

Some of the anti-AI stuff feels a bit like when people would say "don't use Wikipedia as a source." It's just like anything else, a piece of information that you weigh against multiple sources and your own understanding of its likely failure modes

What we think about a 1/8th scale bmw i8?

Im making a discord bot for image recognition of cat photos. Machine learning is stupid. Its beautiful magic but gathering and labelling >1000 images for training has been somethn interesting. I'll keep ya's updated maybe. Anyways, RC car is next. I can make engineering my hobby again

People often ask me how to know for sure if an image was created by artificial intelligence. So I marked in the attached photo (in the red circles) some clues that make me suspect that it's a fabricated photo, although it's not possible to say with absolute certainty in this case.

I hate how 2FA has become more popular and now all these apps are ONLY using biometrics or a pin or whatever. What do you think the 2 stands for??? Stop scanning my face without asking a password! Or also, don't let me type in a pin to bypass a password?? Wtf??

some time ago i played VR fortnite with a kid who was really good but also a jerk, so i told him he was a jerk and he said I sounded "40 and divorced"

like what if I started relentlessly posting about how bad i am at VR fortnite. On X it wouldn't go well, but on HERE...

Omg i remember the clouds. Always looked a little off. The butterfly is cooler imo

4. Bluesky didn't have a logo until December 2023. Before the butterfly 🦋, here are some of the placeholders we used...

My university using AI generated photos in their advertisements? They either dont think their own art department is good enough, or they dont think genAI is bad. Something you really love to see at a company charging thousands per semester

For over a year, the Biden admin has been pretending to be working for a ceasefire & for increasing humanitarian aid in Gaza, all while arming & supporting Israel's genocide there. In their closing days, they are no longer pretending. May this monstrosity haunt them forever.

BREAKING: U.S. vetoes UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, with 14 votes in favor and only the U.S. voting against.

Didnt quite get the jackpot today but this thing PRINTS. Very good strategy. Will return

No ICE but Yuto-Ice@jeremydaniel.bsky.social

Practice at Quik Drop a few times. 4 ball in each bucket except the last 2. One of the few ticket redemption games that doesn’t rely on RNG. Go on various days to maximum bonus as it’ll reset once you hit it.

Lol. Turned out to be a good investment

Gonna be real witn you guy. I have no interest in using this app other than to stay relevant in the case of twitter's downfall. Happy 53 followers tho!

The sad thing about bluesky is that there aren't celebrity tweets from 2014 to pull up and make fun of. We're in a new era of the internet where celebrities just keep their distance

They should make a ANYTHING that doesn't require maintenance. I mean like general car maintenance is fine, but keeping my legs shaved? Or keeping my kitchen clean? Or keeping up with my skincare routine? Wtf??? I have to do this every day???
