Someone brighter than me* could train an LLM on the NSF awards data and then go forth and rule the world. The objective is to enable natural language searches; it's a Good Idea to at least review and better reference prior awards in NSF Proposals.

@Alfred finish this sentence; use your imagination: "Nowadays the globalization of the world's economy has brought..."

2FA presents a challenge for the bi/tri-focaled unless computer glasses are also bifocal. Which mine aren't.
Oh and don't talk to me about progressive lenses; that dog don't hunt for me.

Not gonna complain but do breast cancer

The utility crew appeared right on their appointed time. This simulation is tight.

Dog is so amped up he is _drifting_. Maybe chasing a fly? Whatever dude live your best life. I'll replace the furniture.

Good: Utility crew outside working on service upgrades

However: They just cut through another utility's cables in a dozen places, all down the road.

Little thing called Call Before You Dig, do you speak it?

We should probably sort out who here smashes garlic and who minces it. I of course am Team smash -> mince. The One True Way.

Ridonkulously nice outside.

Trefoil and clover for no particular reason

Duckduckgo Android app's App Tracker Protection is blocking the Coso app. Not sure why; it doesn't list it is blocked. But it doesn't work. I reported it to them.

Hey y'all I found this cool website called "YouTube" but just one question: "yacht rock"?

I have to apologize to everyone, I allowed the thought in my head, "huh, no mosquitoes yet this year". So, so, sorry.

The local urgent vet referred me to poison control, which was not immediately aware of poke, so more PSA (incl. humans): small ingestion: for the next 12 hours try to stay hydrated, take sugar and salt. Ice broth chips. Get to an MD for gastric and cardiac check.
Larger ingestion: get to an MD for emergency hydration and cardiac support. Poke puts a LOT of stress on the guts and heart. No one needs to deal with that and some won't be up to it.
Ok, done, sorry to be a bummer.

Nursed a dog through agonizing, smelly, visually disturbing 16 hours after incidental contact with Poke root. Think he's gonna be okay.
TIL people are making pies with Poke. No. Don't. Leave poke plants alone. They have 3 ways (that I know of) to kill any mammal, all of them extremely unpleasant.

The #trump crowd picture looked like a fun test for one of the LLMs that can interrogate images. I've found it to be pretty accurate. It says, " There are hundreds of people in the image."

Do try this at home:
./llava-v1.5-7b-q4.llamafile --cli -ngl 35 --image ./crowd.png --temp 0 -e -p '### User: Approximately how many people do you see?\n### Assistant:' --silent-prompt 2>/dev/null

We used to pay people to meticulously carve intricate minature works of art, use them to make molds to cast ornate (guessing) bronze plates and door knobs. It wasn't necessary, just preferred.
Interesting to me that we could have robots do it today and chose not to. Everything simple, streamlined, same. The Homogeneous Era.
