Vet visit scheduled for Tuesday. The online booking form asked for her name and I said I don't know.

Here they usually clip the eartip if it's an outdoor or feral cat. No clipped tips, though to be fair I haven't really looked inside her ears yet.

I am seriously considering adopting her if I can't find her owners. I'm very much a cat person, but I've never been responsible for one as an adult.

I brought her to an adoption center up the road and they were able to tell me she had no chip. They also gave me some supplies since I didn't have anything - they've been really great.
Found a lost cat at the park this week. Hopefully I can find her owners soon. In the meantime, she has certainly made herself at home. I suspect 1-2 years old but hard to say. Female. Unsure if spayed. No collar or chip. Very sweet and friendly. Planning to get her to the vet for a checkup ASAP. She's a bit skinny so was probably lost for a few days, and definitely has an appetite now. I hope she wasn't dumped, because some people really don't like black cats, and also leaving cats in the wild is very bad for the environment. PSA please chip your pets, even if they're indoor pets!

Guess I'm sticking with my password manager then, lmao.
When I first learned about passkeys it sounded like nothing more than a vendor lock-in cash grab dressed up as security. This new spec might actually improve the situation and make them useable across more platforms and systems. Assuming Apple, Google, and Microsoft don't find a way to screw it up again.

They are not useful for learning if the information they give is wrong.
Neural networks are a tool and they have their uses, but something that generates garbage that is factually wrong a significant percentage of the time while burning our world to do it is not the tool our students need.

Schools teaching "how to use AI" are missing the point: these things aren't magic machines, they're guessing games.
LLMs have no ability to reason or understand anything. They just regurgitate words using a probabilistic model. They are little more than a fancy autocomplete, and autocomplete isn't always right (see also DYAC).

This is the way. It's also one of the simplest self-hosted setups you can have. Highly recommend it.

I would at least give him the option to live, but stripped of his fame and power, with all of his wealth and possessions liquidated and distributed, gainfully employed flipping burgers in the restaurant industry. He can spend the rest of his days pulling himself up by his bootstraps.

I refuse to let them own that symbol. Everyone knows it belongs to Pacha.

Cheese definitely needs finer shredding. I usually just grab a block and use the smaller shred holes on my box grater, that'll get you a nice light pile of cheese.
How did you make the sauce?

If you think one of the most dangerous and heavily guarded borders in the world is "open", I'd love to hear what you call our border with Canada and why more people aren't coming through there instead.
Actually, no, I don't care. You are wrong.
