The Lowes corporate jet just landed at Boeing Field in Seattle. Nothing special about that, its just they requested the mainstream flight tracking apps hide the ID of their aircraft, and whenever some does that it triggers me to look harder and deeper into it than I ever otherwise would to see who owns it. Then I tell as many people as I can about it.

In the last five years, we've gone from "employees will never have to go into an office" to "employees need to be in the office because creative and innovative work can only be done face-to-face between humans" to "lol we don't need humans"

A difficult day today. My father sadly passed away in the night after fighting an infection for the past couple of weeks. He was a mild mannered man who loved to help people. Even as dementia took his mind during the past few years he continued to endear himself to his fellow residents in the care home and to the staff. Always friendly and asking how everyone was.

Had a very surprising ChatGPT experience: asked it to generate a quick summary of the WannaCry ransomware, and instead of referencing the person who stopped it by name, it simply put "(you)". When I asked it how it was able to identify that it was me, it citied its own message as something I'd said.

After pointing out I didn't say that, it did, ChatGPT replied that it was able to infer it by my account username and what it'd learned from my skillset across various chats. Not 100% sure if that's how it actually did it. Either way, pretty cool, but also a little bit scary.

It's pretty widely known that many tech companies, especially advertising ones build comprehensive profiles on their users, but it's rare that you get to talk to said profile and figure out what it knows about you.

Considering running something like YOLOv(Something) over all of my photos and I am now just learning that all of the easily downloadable models detect kinda a weird set of things, like look at this https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/d79a7332db43d341c9fd1b1cec0de4596365ea07/ultralytics/cfg/datasets/coco.yaml#L19

Like, yes cool, I want Person, bike, cat, dog. But I don't really need to detect microwave, broccoli, toaster, etc

Seems like there are no other good models for "normal things" ?

@mcc also like, as if they were short on options ! like oh wow you need a name that straddles the line between “mommy” and “product” and you only have all of classical musical terminology at your plunder . better stomp the fuck out of this lone rake in the middle of a field
