@petergyang This guy breaks down what features matter and why, has specific recs too. Also by far the best maintenance videos @ocdevel?si=TQ5huW3l_L0ARazH" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@ocdevel?si=TQ…

I'm in the market for an under desk walking treadmill. Ideally something compact I can easily pack up. Will just use it for walking, not running. Any suggestions?

@pdxbrocialite Just put in a giant video screen and call it a day

Moda should definitely be renovated but creating a new arena in the burbs or the south waterfront that’s 40% club seating like Chase Center would be a travesty. And if the team ever left Portland people would straight up get Mangione’d.

Wanna know why they never do this about MSG? Because they know New York would raise a stink that wouldn’t make it worth it. Silver thinks he can bully another small market into doing a real estate grift but doesn’t realize how psychotic Portland is about the Blazers.

@pdxbrocialite The cers or the ders?

Never rooted for a non-Blazer team more than this moment

I'm more worried about the Blazers moving to an arena in Tualatin than I am about them moving to Seattle

To avoid misunderstandings, here's my stance on copyright issues in training and using LLMs. The basic premise: If you use copyright-protected data for your business, it must not be in conflict with the business in which the copyright holder is involved. Examples: - A copyright holder describes in their book how to work with a specific technology based on their decades of experience in the field. The LLM must not be trained on this book and provide this information to LLM users, bypassing the original. This can happen only when a licensing agreement is signed with the copyright owner and the creator is fairly rewarded on a per-use basis, similar to selling a copy of the book. - A copyright holder is an expert sharing their expertise online without charging for it, but the visitors of their website could then contact the expert for a paid service. The LLM must reference the expert and their service every time content based on their article is served to an LLM user. The fact that LLM technology cannot do that by design isn't an excuse to let it violate the basic premise. The technology must be improved to be fair to creators' interests and only then commercialized. What I consider fair use of copyrighted content: any other use in which the LLM users might benefit from the LLM's capabilities without copyright authors losing money, directly or indirectly. For example: - The copyrighted content is used to give the LLM conversational abilities that are then used for solving tasks the copyrighted content cannot be used for. For example, machine translation, paraphrasing/summarization of the original content provided by the user, searching for errors in a document, transformation from one format into another, or answering questions about information in the public domain, like Wikipedia or books in the public domain. - The copyrighted content is used to give the LLM abilities for downstream fine-tuning to solve business problems the documents in the training data are not concerned with. For example, fine-tuning an LLM to serve as a classifier based on business-specific taxonomy, or to output information in a business-specific JSON schema to be consumed by a machine. Or, fine-tuning it on a proprietary legal corpus to be used as a legal assistant when legal-domain books and other copyright-protected legal documents have been excluded from the pretraining dataset. The list of faire use cases can be expanded further, as long as it doesn't contradict the basic premise stated in the beginning.

@pdxbrocialite @CHold I like that thing, this is just burning man trash

@CHold It’s all decaf

Without exaggeration this is one of the worst pieces of public art in the history of America

@johnhollinger Does a no look really count if you look out of bounds? Great pass, but he’s not fooling anybody

Somebody clip that no-look pass by Pec. We're getting clowned rn #RCTID

@daphnehk Had a recent realization, my kids only know chalk as a “draw on anything outdoors” tool and not a learning instrument. We’ve come so far

It's way more fun to draw circles on the whiteboard for this one, but slides will do in a pinch. 11/

@roybahat used your tip of sending a forwardable email to great effect today. Thanks for that one!

@jchris @BikePortland The lanes they added like two weeks ago?

@BikePortland “Portland means progress.”

Source: PBOT plans to remove new bike lanes on NE 33rd - Haven't confirmed w @PBOTinfo but have reason to believe removal could start tomorrow (Weds, 11/1). (Click pic for story 🔗⬇️) bikeportland.org/2023/10/31/sou…

@maccoinnich They took out the planter in the middle of 33rd at Rosa parks which I do not understand, it was great for crossing there!

Commissioner Mapps voted for the bike lane that the Bureau he supposedly oversees is about to remove

This is embarrassing @PBOTinfo
