I hope this never happens, but if one day a cell in your colon maximizes its short-term replication at the expense of the long-term stability of the system it depends on, I hope nobody tells you it's fine because it's "natural."

I'm curious if you could free yourself of the ongoing llm cost by using YOLOv8 or opencv or something like that

My sense has been that accuracy that I need is only possible with the pretty advanced AI models and that OpenCV type approach wouldn't be good enough. Birds are pretty small in the image of the overall pool that I am working with and discerning them accurately is hard. I think it would be possible for other use cases and basically depends on the image source you are working with and the difficulty of detection within that image.

If you had, say, a camera on the inside of a birdhouse and the whole scene was either empty of taken up by a bird, then that would be easy for an on-device model.

I'm seeing some pretty cool projects for bird detection with YOLO online. They may do more than you need; you probably don't care about the kind of bird, right?

Maybe it would be worth it to spend a few tokens on an implementation, just to try!

Grepping /usr/share/dict/words shows 110 words that have five letters and the same letter 3 or more times, e.g. sassy, added, daddy, nanny, melee, levee, mummy

Kind of an okay job, but they could do better. I might feel differently if I lived in Tibet, Hong Kong, Xinjian, Myanmar, etc.

I think the grass is always greener on the other side, and I'm glad that you're a good person.

> ... and I'm glad that you're a good person.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm not a good person anymore. Not really. I'm the broken wreckage of what used to be a good person. I want to be a good person, but I was born on the wrong planet, or the wrong timeline, or the wrong corner of the multiverse, or whatever. I don't live on a planet where what I want is even in the realm of possibility. Too much hatred, greed, and ignorance here for the life I would prefer to live.

Maybe. There are a lot of online games where nothing is worth anything, but I don't think those are default high-trust societies. People will log in just to annoy the other players.

Sounds like they trust the game’s anonymity and privacy policies.

Therefore subs are tacos? Or the two-piece requirement is too strict https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/italian-sub-rolls-r...

If you cut the rest of the way through the bread in a sub, it’s still completely acceptable to serve, but if cut all the way through a hotdog bun, it is regarded as broken or defective.

I remember something about someone trying to do a photo shoot with candles in abandoned cars in a junkyard

I don't trust a robot with my privacy, but I know Linette isn't building a profile of my shopping habits and Wi-Fi traffic. She is also careful to not let my cats out.
