I know this is obvious, but I still decided to run through the following exercise. I asked OpenAI to analyze its own description of a photo. Here is what we came up with: The logical pattern of the description primarily follows a "concrete to generic" approach. Here's a breakdown of how this pattern unfolds:

1. **Concrete Details about the Main Subject**:
- The description begins with specific details about the man: his appearance and attire. (1/5)

This progression from specific, concrete details to more general, contextual information helps build a vivid and complete picture of the scene, starting with what is most immediately noticeable and expanding outward to give a fuller sense of the environment and setting.
this is a really nice pattern. I think this is why these descriptions sound so palatable:) And here is the picture itself! :) ! (5/5)

Politically, Biden's dropping out creates all sorts of uncertainty.

Procedurally, however, what happens how is extremely clear: The DNC will use its convention to officially designate its nominees for president and vice president, and those people will appear on the ballot in all 50 states, DC, etc.

A summary of state ballot access laws, from the officials who run the elections, is at nass.org/sites/default/files/r…

It would have been much more complicated if this had occurred after the convention.

Do Democrats have enough time to find a different path to victory?

It's actually not an unusual concept.

Until 1968, presidential candidates were always picked by party conventions.

And that process, though providing less public input, also produced some great nominees.

If the rumors are true, this week could be another exciting week for opensource LLMS! Meta may release Llama-3-405b on this Tuesday. Also there could be updates to 8b and 70b models distilled from 405B. Joe Spisak, a product director at Meta says they were initially going to call Llama 3 8b and 70b a prerelease or preview because these models didn't have all the things they planned to release.

Joe Biden just announced on Twitter that he would not be seeking reelection.
"Why am I posting about this", you didn't ask? Well, he announced it in a letter, contained in an image, with the alt text of "A letter from president Biden". So for anyone curious what that letter actually said, here's a transcription. I had GPT transcribe it since Windows OCR was mangling parts of it, and OneStep Reader was even worse, but Aira verified the accuracy of it.

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today with 9.5 updated and 1 added apps:

* ShikiApp: an unofficial Shikimori mobile app

The .5 update is, urn, Update.Me which forgot to increase the versionCode. So if you use this app, you might wish to manually update by simply installing it again as if it were not yet there 🙈

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:

Trump’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein is well documented, but this part is not:

The newly released 175 pages from the first case against Jeffrey Epstein show, the young female witnesses were attacked and intimidated by the very prosecutors, whose job it was to protect them.

Why would that happen?

According to TYT — and this is mind-boggling — the lead prosecutor in the case, Alexander Acosta, moved on to a new, well-paid job in 2017…

… in the Trump administration.

Vamos ver como se sai, mas parece ótimo. Usei por muitos anos outros privativos de liberdade, então aproveito para iniciar a gestão de novo veículo finalmente dando basta nessa privação.

Mais alguém o conhece?

Falls hier wer im Bereich Berlin / Potsdam / Brandenburg zufällig einen kleinen Sidequest für heute sucht: Eine gute Freundin hat einen schwarzen Turnbeutel mit Katzenmotiv (und zwei Paar Heels drin) im RE1 vergessen, der _wahrscheinlich_ gerade als RE 73780 dbf.finalrewind.org/map/2%7C%2… von Brandenburg nach Frankfurt(Oder) zuckelt.

Der Beutel sollte sich auf dieser Fahrt im hinteren Bereich (±2. Zweiersitz) des in Fahrtrichtung ersten Wagens in der Hutablage befinden. Einsammeln und zwecks Weiterleitung melden wäre super, denn Fedi könnte hier ggf. besser klappen als Fundservice.

Als Lohn gibt es ewige Dankbarkeit und (sofern man sich mal irgendwo begegnet) Bananenfranzbrötchen :3
