It's a good thing the HBO show ended when it did, as it was becoming increasingly clear by that point that the depravity depicted was not even close to the extent of reality, and it wasn't funny or quirky anymore, just dark and bl

Yeah but it's like saying "Masterlocks will always be easy to pop off with a hammer". Of course, but by doing so you are actively engaging in fraud, which then puts the onus on you and whoever you are attempting to deceive.

Maybe play around with CPU inference on smaller models too. Frontier models are probably overkill for simple language responses at this point; I suspect you could get pretty good results with Qwen doing this, and Kokoro TTS is really good n

Hudson Valley real estate is the best kept secret in the US. Plenty of places with good schools and a sub-1hr train commute to Manhattan can be had for under $500k still. Westchester is cooked, but add 15-30 mins north to your commute and i
