    RE: https://mastodon.sprawl.club/@ludicity/116107022437605656 Yikes. How long will this LLM trainwreck take to complete? Too much software was already high on the Rube Goldberg scale before LLMs..

    Coincidentally I&amp;#39;ve started listening to the history of the English Language podcast, which talks about how the kinds of words that existed in the Proto Indo European language (that English descended from) helped to identify the location of those ancient peoples.

    Last year I planted a few marigolds in the same pot as our Palm tree, which then went to seed over the winter. This year&#39;s crop is exploding! #canada #britishcolumbia #whiterock #photography #flowers #marigolds
