āBy using a spreadsheet anyone (even non-developers) can explore and play directly with how a ārealā transformer works under the hood with minimal abstractions to get in the way,ā writes Anand on the official website for the sheet, which he calls āSpreadsheets-are-all-you-need.ā Itās a nod to the 2017 research paper āAttention is All You Needā that first described the Transformer architecture that has been foundational to how LLMs work.

Given the lack of credible way back to the climate of the past, how do you adjudicate the management of the landscape without just letting the native plants die in the heat, drought, and inundation? Desertification is the likely result. Thereās a gap between the desertification caused by human ignorance of unexpected consequences and the desertification caused by dead-eyed exploitation by large landowners. That gap used to be filled by indigenous practice and knowledge. We will have to fill the gap by coming back to the ultimate authority being a matter of practicality. The people who live in the region will be the people staffing and executing any remediation needed due to climate change and attempted mass despoliation. That means being under healthy democratic federations from the local level through the regional level to the very top of the we-pay-taxes-for-this-shit level.

Over the years, weāve had ants, mice, and termites in our house. Just yesterday we had a pest inspector/salesman come by. She tried to interest us in getting the blown in insulation in the attic replaced by a different type of blown in insulation, for only $5000. !!! Part of her sales pitch was that it would replace that asbestos stuff we have.
Asbestos has been banned in construction since 1989. We had ours replaced sometime in the 2010s.
Later that day, my wife found an ant in the kitchen.

For the first time in ages we bought a fresh pineapple. Fortunately Iāve cut them up before so I knew how to do it (with a knife that is; not a machete). It was delicious. But after the first big chunk of it (around 1/6 of the whole), I noticed my mouth felt weird, and not in a good way. Sort of a dry tingling sensation. Oh no! I thought. I must be allergic! And I donāt have other food allergies, so I donāt have an epipen!
Then I though, hmm, maybe Dr. Google would know.
Tickle my foot. It was most unpleasant.
But the fresh pineapple itself was wonderful.
