>>> Lava lamps better than massive computers

> To produce unpredictable, chaotic data for strong encryption, a computer must have source random data. The real world is a great source for randomness, bc events in the physical world are unpredictable

This strikes me as a metaphor for most of GenAI, certainly in terms of inventive, bonkers, off-kilter unique creativity and original thinking. It just can't.

The amount of work and perseverance it’s taken me to accrue 24 University credits over the past 12 months has been significantly more difficult than I imagined.

Has it been worth it? Going back to University in my late 30’s?

Absolutely.

✅It’s given me purpose.
✅ It’s helped me develop better critical thinking skills.
✅ It’s opened my eyes to disciplines I knew nothing about.
✅ It’s given my overactive mind a place to grow.
✅ It’s taught me that my learning disabilities do not define me. I am worthy and capable.

💜🫶🏻 Here’s to the next year!

So I am still learning on my New/Old Impulse AF camera. I got a couple of shots that were blueish and had almost no detail so I tried just shooting my car door with as much shade as possible and blocking the flash. It seemed to come out, not focused but not extremely bright.

Went to the square to get a shot of the Courthouse in Daylight. Still overexposed some due to the fact the Courthouse is made of highly reflective stone. And I cut off the top of the clock tower which I was focusing on personally.

But steps taken.

Hello, everyone. I've decided to start a #game with the help of #ai. I know almost nothing about #programming, but I plan to follow my progress here. Feel free to contribute and talk to me. Now I'm going to start the first day by #learning how to get started.

I'd like to know what you think about having a mentor like this, I imagine we have something we've always wanted, someone to ask everything all the time without losing the cohesion of the subject. What u think? Just free tools

Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!
