Blink twice if you're OK.

Blink twice if you're OK.
Of course, if only one eye blinks, then you might be having a stroke.
Oddly, you're the second to make that stroke reference in the last week. We also had a fire drill, which smelled a bit of burnt toast. Somebody likes cooking in their office.
Sometimes, toast is just a toast.
Different strokes for different folks, of course.
Leaves are falling pretty fast, now. However, it gives me a good excuse for putting off raking for a day. Barely a third of the leaves on my tree have fallen.
We're still in a warm streak. Suppose to be 80 on Monday. But then a storm Wednesday and down to @ 60. If it heads to Idaho you'll have a bunch of soggy leaves to rake.
Soggy leaves pack better.
Looks like we might get that storm on Thursday.
After a longer examination of the data, we're already in an inversion, which I hadn't realized due to light breezes and clear skies. Inversions suck, though if they are mild, they only suck lightly.
The inversion should break tomorrow, then it might reestablish before being blown away with the storm on Thursday.
Guess what... About 55 days ago, Moti decided to channel Terry A. Davis, the famous troubled programmer who created TempleOS before he died. He claimed Terry made his chatbot. If you’re not familiar, Terry was convinced God told him to build TempleOS in HolyC, a language he invented.
So, since Moti couldn’t get his simple chatbot past the Wikipedia gatekeepers on September 11th, claim Terry A. Davis invented it on Lercel seven days later, and hope someone edits Terry’s Wiki page in the future to mention it.
He can’t do it himself, because, you know, he's banned. :rolleyes:
I'm not sure that you should mention him here. If you speak his name three times...
I considered posting a thread to Wikipedia pointing out that at some point there will end up being a page on Moti.
I've changed my VBForums setting so that it only returns 5 posts per page because I was having issues with the page loading with my previous size preference.
So far the only problem thread has been the Post Race.
Which makes it even funnier.
I have no issues with the number of threads.
Except that I'm running out of closet space.
For all my threads.
Eventually, I believe he deserves his own Wiki page. There are loads of public figures that have gotten crosswise with various places for their comments, but Moti is a non-public figure who has managed to get banned by such a diverse group of forums and sites that he may well have set an insurmountable record.
You just don't understand his technology that he invented from scratch.
That's true.
I started a new C++ AI project that won’t be using transformers, just in case the Decepticons come looking for them.
I’ve updated the website. It’s more efficient, more accessible, supports JavaScript being disabled, and supports dark mode (based on app preferences).
html-lessons that is
I replaced SkeletonCSS with PicoCSS.
I'm very proud of the project
Although now it only causes more work for me
I should probably update my vblessons website to use PicoCSS too
Plus I really want to create a CSS and JavaScript lessons website to close the loop on front-end web development.
It's just that it takes so long to create the content.
And if I'm being honest, I'm not sure how many people actually use the websites.
Winter can cause strange problems,

Test results from my ai's console:

Step 5 fidelity=0.0037185 episodic=6 semantic_nodes=3
Step 10 fidelity=0.0063805 episodic=11 semantic_nodes=4
Step 15 fidelity=0.00370473 episodic=16 semantic_nodes=5
Phase 1 smoke test complete.
From console:
Running Phase 1.2 unit tests...
[test_tensor_normalize] OK
[test_forward_consistency] OK
[test_overfit_one_sample] OK (errBefore=0.528608, errAfter=0.0428196)
All Phase 1.2 tests executed.
Maybe I should start a thread on my ai test updates. I'm hoping to have it fully coded and tested before the end of this year, so I can start training it in January.
But the important question is: Can it be your girlfriend?
No. And in case you ask, it’s not going to have hormones.
I wasn't going to ask.
My days are numbered.
I looked at a calendar, and there was a number there. Therefore, my days are numbered.
Now the big question is whether or not we're going to have a winter. Thus far, it has been pretty warm, with snow levels remaining quite high. I wouldn't mind if it stayed warm for another week, as I have a bit of a road trip to scout out some places that I hope to be biking next summer. If snow closes the higher ones...then I guess I'll find out if the road is passable once I get there.
Feels like winter where I'm at. My car was iced over this morning.
I couldn't park it in my garage the last 3 days since my wife's SUV's tires were laying in the middle of it.
I hurt my back changing her tires this past Saturday.
It's turned to winter here. Couple days of some heavy rain and cold today. Got caught out in a thunder storm yesterday, got soaked.
You don't buy them, either. They just appear one day.
I also updated some of the content.
The last couple of lessons were very sparse, you could kind of tell I was rushing to just finish it.
