If the BBC is an anti-Israeli source, it sounds like you'll only accept very pro-Israel sources as true.

I know some are mourning the loss of the eink, but as someone who tried to make the LP2 work for a few months, I think this higher price point and better display and build will ultimately serve them better. The LP2 was too underpowered, felt cheap, and frankly unreliable (alarms straight-up not working were a big part of me ditching it). 5G, NFC, a camera, a good screen, etc. all make this a much more appealing product. I don't think the increased capabilities will cause "app creep" and negate the original intent of the project.
Re:Viking 7B: open LLM for the Nordic languages trained on AMD GPUs

First thing I notice is that Finnish is part of a completely different language family from the other Nordic languages and English (Uralic vs. Indo-European). I wonder to what extent this affects the effectiveness of their low-resource training. Finnish is highly agglutinative, adding prefixes and suffixes to modify a root. My (amateur) take is that the tokenization and attention patterns may differ a lot? Would love to see more educated people than I discuss this.
Re:Cannabis use linked to anxiety diagnoses, worsened anxiety disorders

Indeed, while not cannabis related, I visited the ER once due to a panic attack (which I did't know at the time). My combination of high heart rate, mild abdominal pain, and a low grade fever triggered their sepsis protocol. This constellation of symptoms caused me to spiral more and eventually I was discharged with nothing more than some chill pills and constipation.

I noticed this too. Draw a left curly brace from the bottom up, it calls it a right curly brace, and the reverse is true as well.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a decent crash course on using vector DBs in conjuction with LLMs? I wanna do some experimentation with getting a model to comment on the similarity of data vectors etc. and I don't really know where to start.
