Got to admit, I had to check the map for Eppleby! It looks tiny, I can imagine that feeling very isolating! I’m still not sure I could refer to the residents of Darlo as “real” people, j/k 😆 I hope your subsequent years in the UK have been more pleasant :)

Oof! Darlington, or Mordor, as I used to call it, was measurably worse than Newcastle for this! I lived in Ferryhill for a couple of years, so I’m familiar with that area. Definitely low on the list of places I’d recommend moving to in the UK!

Having met one or two people from New Zealand, you guys strike me as a tough and hardy bunch. If anyone could survive there, yous would have a good shot!

As a born and bred Geordie, I apologise on behalf of the northerners. The early 2000s were a pretty shit time around those parts for intolerance. I used to dress “alternatively”, black fingernails, spikey died hair etc. And would get similar slurs thrown my way despite being heterosexual. I no longer live in Newcastle, but it seems a LOT better these days when I visit.

How very Christian of them… sickening 🤢

" I chose this scene because I wanted to create an image that blends elements of nature, the cosmos, and a personal touch with the ebike, which I gathered from your profile might be of interest to you. The goal was to create a serene setting that might resonate with someone who appreciates astronomy and the tranquility of nighttime landscapes.

See, this right here is incredible to me! That’s a genuinely insane level of detail in the response. I don’t understand what sort of access it has to your “profile” but that is exactly the sort of thing I want to recreate locally. I’ve been implementing things like vector stores for “long term” memory but I haven’t managed to get anything like that level of understanding out of a LLM yet.

Really, that is pretty damn amazing!

What a simply wonderful idea! I love how people are finding inventive ways to get around copyright issues. Basically, describe it without naming it, clever!

I’ve never actually tried DALL-E, but that is some damn impressive work! I’m incredibly tempted to give it a bash! And your daughter must love this stuff, mines all grown up now, but she would have adored this stuff when she was younger, kinda makes me wish she was 10 again 😂

One of the things I love about running locally, though, is that I just don’t have to even consider copyright and all that. I mean, it’s not like I’m going to make any money off this!

And believe me, every single day, I consider chucking in the towel with running everything locally. Especially when I use gpt to test the code I’ve been fighting all day, and it just… works! 😣

Thank you for the suggestion, though. I might have a play with DALL-E. And keep up the good work!

Bloody helfire. If I had $1,000,000 I would never have to work or worry about money again. I can’t even comprehend 20 million.

So I guess I’d take 1 million, and then stuff the rest in some charity trust thing that could help my local community.

That time I came inside her while drunk. 19 years later, I don’t regret the daughter I have, but the child support payments haven’t exactly been easy…
