Four bee species on my lavender at the same time. Also, there were a lot of honeybees.

Orange-rumped (Bombus melanopygus), an unknown bright yellow bumblebee species, a Vancouver bumblebee, and a Blue orchard bee.

Here's a very clear discussion of why the ethics of language models is "a fundamentally confused idea".

Yes, it’s difficult for a naive mastodon user to understand this. At first it looked like the kind of scam one seems in the spam folder, SEO, buy likes, kind of stuff. I immediately wondered.

I had questions. What is tags.pub? Why would I want it to boost my posts?

https://tags.pub explains most of it. Presumably someone has to pay for this. Is it just altruism?
