Omg! A perfect time to share my story from before[1], where I lost a notebook at a big box store, and I had early on lumped the notebook in with greens, and thus described it as a "green notebook".

But some people, including the store employee that took my call, strongly felt it was clearly on the blue side and claimed not to have anything matching that description I only ever recovered it by going there in person and asking to see it.

(Fortunately, it had my name in it as a second check.)

Cyan is just another shade of blue to me. The colour you get when you google image search "cyan" is definitely more blue than green to my eyes.

That's partially a cultural effect of many peers calling cyan blue.

Same as chartreuse and turquoise just getting called a weird shade of green, names affect perception.

Worse, if you call cyan blue, turquoise may become a weird shade of blue too, even though it's not even close.

I'm still waiting for Canon to release a tool to scrub pictures of the buildings I own. What makes people believe they can just post photos of my buildings? I purchased the rights to that architecture.

Look up the copyright drama regarding the Atomium in Brussels.

I had the "cancel anytime after the first year" plan, and after that first year was over, they tried charging another whole year as cancellation fee.

Seems to be the case with all their models - really huge in size, no actual performance gains for the effort.

Their refined web dataset is heavily censored so maybe that has something to do with it. It’s very morally conservative - total exclusion of pornography and other topics.

So I’d not be surprised if some of the issues are they are just filtering out too much content and adding more of the same instead.

What? Falcon-7B base model is pretty much one of the only few small models that'll happily write a whole coherent fanfic all the way to the end without getting stuck in a loop right before the explicit content.

Ignore instruct tunes.

Also random episodes disappearing for reasons. And series disappearing halfway while you're watching them.

got it. but now i kind of want a torrent-based dropbox. i have five workstations. would be great to be able to utilize them as my own miniature distributed file system without a corporate server.

Resilio Sync (previously BitTorrent sync) is what you're looking for.

WSA was literally the only reason I upgraded to Windows 11. What is going on there at Amazon and Microsoft?

They also dropped support for the Audible app for Windows last year, so now the only way to use it will be through the useless website that blasts it at 100% volume with no control.
