I want to expand on this because we took water usage serious in our family Ag business. I grew up in the industry, my parents starting a greenhouse in our backyard in 1982. In 2010 we decided to build one properly setup for retail. I left my IT career behind at the time.
So, we built a new one.

I've been *so* close but there's always one little thing that's wrong, and it's hard to tell if it was a typo in the paper I was reading, or if I made a bad assumption somewhere

Aside from his 3d printed meat comment being insane I will say I've loaded chickens out of an egg farm onto trucks for soup and/or dog food. Nobody was ever quite sure where they were going.
Anyway.... 3d printed meat sounds better than what I put onto those trucks and they were alive.

Let's do this. A Kelley/Kelley ticket for 2028. We don't seem ready for a woman as POTUS yet so let's try two dudes that make Maverick from Top Gun look like a dork in comparison.
Seems like an easy sell to MAGA defectors.
Anything but *waves hands* this shit.

I don't think most people realize a computer is a space heater. If your computer is burning 400W it's a 400W space heater. The only way it isn't is if photons coming out of your monitor go out a window and escape but even that is a real small leakage.
And you can use an old computer for science.

Yeppers. I've used a 24 core Xeon workstation running protein folding for a space heater before. I also used to run a rack of computers in what was essentially a barn on a farm. In the warm months we had to cool it but in the winter it needed heat. I just ran protein folding on some of the cores.

Stop. Normalizing. These. Fucking Weirdos.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

the biggest reason for fully open models is science, and the downstream effects
1. rebuild it, but with your own domain-specific mid-training data
2. try methods out on several snapshots
3. attribute answers to specific documents in the training dataset

Olmo 3 is notable as a "fully open" LLM - all of the training data is published, plus complete details on how the training process was run. I tried out the 32B thinking model and the 7B instruct models, + thoughts on why transparent training data is so important simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/22/...

I like Call of Duty. Guilty pleasure. They said the newest release was going to be more "gritty" like the roots and, uh, kinda delivered. I haven't been clapped by a ninja turtle or Butthead in this release. But, wall jumping?! WALL JUMPING?!
Y'all just remade Halo 3 with Parkour.

Picked up a fun project at work. Computer vision, robotic arm, agriculture related. It's hilariously right up my alley. I teach kids how to do very similar things.
I'm looking at 2-3 years of previous work by professionals that doesn't actually work. And would have taken me 8 weeks to do right.

I want to make this very clear. My default stance on any of this is leave to the courts UNLESS the act is in progress. At that point in time deadly force is authorized. Not just legally but by my own conscience.
I have never shied away from protecting others that couldn't do it themselves.

all I’m gonna say is that I am a life-long slightly edgy poster and I’ve never caught a suspension or a ban anywhere - because it is in fact quite easy to avoid crossing the “this joke could possibly be construed as a violent threat” line on social media
