Road tripping with Pugs 🚗 🍞

I swear having Pugs is like living with a greeting card 🍞

Padres lost to the Cubs today -- BUT, a strong start to the season! Also excited for the Portland Seadogs AA opener tonight! ⚾

OMG Bernard looks just like my last Pug Woodrow!

Where are all the Pug people on BlueSky? I need more house potatoes in my life ❤️

It makes me sad that we’ll never see satirical comedies like the Wayans family was best at ever again — or at least not in my lifetime. “Don’t be a menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood” is a cinematic masterpiece.

Stopped by the Upstate Card Show today and picked up some great older sets.

- 1982 Topps
- 1983 Fleer
- 1985 Fleer

Lots of great rookie cards in these! Cal Ripken Jr., Kirby Puckett, Roger Clemens, Tony Gwynn, Ryne Sandberg, Wade Boggs (RIP 🪦), not to mention all the Hall of Famers as well! ⚾️

Maybe this is the "Mandela Effect", or just my own stupidity, but I would have sworn on a stack of bibles that his name was "Ryan Sandberg" and not "Ryne Sandberg" 🤦‍♂️⚾

Found a card shop that had some 81 Donruss and Fleer packs for $5 each, so I picked up a couple so I could add them to my Machine Learning model.

Couldn't help but notice the awesome quality control Donruss had back then 😂

One thing I battle with being on Zepbound, and having lost so much weight (~60 pounds), is that I'm *constantly* afraid that a day of bad eating will undo all of it,.

The day after I'm afraid to put on my "skinny" jeans, or "skinny" shirts, because I think they won't fit after that one bad day 😜

All I can see when reading articles where it discusses DeepSeek being trained on GPT/OpenAI's models and everyone is debating the ethics of "stealing data", but apparently nobody cares about this anymore:

I had to run a couple inferences before it gives me a response that doesn't automatically trigger that "Safeguard".

I was able to get a response on the 4th attempt, but it wants to censor it more often than not.

I mean... testing the underlying model (DeepThink R1 digested into Llama 8B GGUF) still shows underlying censorship in the model when compared to baseline Llama 8B:

Compared against base Llama 8B:

I mean, I hear "others" "mentioning" that the model seems OK -- but my own experience? It still doesn't pass the smell test.

Here's the DeepThink R1 model digested into Llama 8B GGUF in LM Studio:
