Living off of Hacker news for updates on what has been going on since December 2022... I have a lot of terms and info about the state of the art for AI, how they are trained, and what names come up when people talk about them.

I found myself on a soap box trying to explain it to a family member recently, and I thought I should explain myself here to help sort out my thoughts.

A TUI interface is okay. What about 3D? or even 2D or 2.5D or 4D?

How do you even draw a complete graph? Where every node has 9 exits and a loop back exit?

I had some leftover 1.5 inch hardwood laminate butcher block countertop.

I had one big piece that could fit a 20" diameter circle to be cut out of it.

I had another piece that a 13" diameter could come out of it.

I ordered a "Lazy Susan Bearing 18 Inch - Heavy Duty Lazy Susan Base & Hardware, Silent Turntable for Smooth Rotation (Aluminum Alloy, 380LB Capacity, Base Only)" for ~$60. I could have gotten the same size, but cheaper hardware for ~$40 that supports up to 265lbs aka the "Heavy Duty" model instead of "Commerical".

Certificates

Verisign, Digicert, someone says that this site is legit. You get a little lock icon and now your bank or shopping cart interaction is more secure.

Installing Certificates

Self-Signing v using a Certificate Authority and a root certificate and a chain...

If I say my computer is sending what it is sending and that it is legit, but you don't trust me, then who can you trust? Why not a big corporation? And you pay the corporation to say you are who you say you are, and you are done, right?
