Submerge them in brine for a few weeks. This creates an environment favouring lactic acid bacteria which will create pickling acid from the veggies that prevents mould.

You need to keep them submerged which you can do by putting a freezer bag full of brine on top.

It'll release CO2 so if you don't have airlocks you'll need to seal the jars only loosely or burb them occasionally.

Haha yeah it's great. It's fast, portable, and has keyboard shortcuts from this century!

I have to say when I saw this headline I was bracing myself for AI "features"...

230B parameters is "reasonably small" now?!

This is basically lucid dreaming.

If you make notes of what you remember of your dreams when you first wake up then after a few days you'll become conscious while dreaming. Then you can basically decide what to dream.

It's kind of fun flying around but I stopped doing it as I didn't find it particularly restful.

This reminds me of the book "Only you can save mankind" by Terry Pratchett. The aliens surrender once they realise the player is apparently immortal!

This looks great - thanks a lot!

Idk isn't it just that the name is misleading?!

Brilliant. This looks great. Thanks for taking the time for a thorough write up!

It looks like a Windows XP activation key!

You can still leverage knowledge from a foundation model in a smaller fine-tuned one.

So the model might have learned general OOP principles from Java but it then drops redundant parameters about specific conventions like AbstractFactoryBuilders when it specialises on a language like Python which has no notion of Interfaces.

Likewise real world knowledge might help distinguish between accounting and database transactions when writing a banking application but you don't necessarily need your coding assistant to have memorised all the world cup winners since 1966.

These models are unwieldy so I think it makes a lot of sense to try and find ones that are tuned efficiently.

The brown scum on the first two images could just be tannin from black tea. You can peel this/ the stained layers off the scoby. You can avoid it next time by not letting the tea "stew" i.e. removing the tea bag sooner (you might also need to use a water filter).

You can increase the yield with a bigger container. It needs to have a wide mouth to maximise the amount of surface exposed to air relative to the volume of liquid. I personally find my kombucha too acidic after a week so need to dilute it in a closed secondary fermentation (to fizz up) which doubles the yield.

It might just be that they dried up in the hot weather. If so they'll uncurl now it's rained.

You might also want to check for ants breeding black fly on the underside. They suck the moisture from the leaves causing them to curl over. You can usually just scrape them off with a wet finger.
