Drupal has always been about flexibility and control. The amazee.ai AI Provider takes that same spirit and applies it to artificial intelligence. It lets you connect a Drupal site to powerful AI models in less than two minutes. No hidden dependencies and no waiting around for credentials to propagate. All of this is free for the first 30 days so you can experiment and use recipes that require LLMs and VectorDBs, and build!

No, of course we appreciate the gesture. It’s just that, well, this menu is a little inconsiderate. Sure, all these loaves of bread, that’s very impressive, coming out of thin air and whatnot. The thing is, though, we’re gluten free.

Before you ask, no, this isn’t a Celiac thing. This is about respecting our gut microbes. Given how bloated some of the apostles are, you guys should give it a try. Go thirty days without gluten, and you’ll see the light, we swear.

We all saw the way your disciples looked at us. “Oh, hey, a bunch of hicks,” they said to themselves. “Let’s give them the usual. Bet they live off of junk food anyway.” That sort of holier-than-thou attitude isn’t doing you any favors.

I know we’re poor desert people, but we care about what goes into our bodies. I guess that’s more than you can say. It’s like you’ve never heard of the glycemic index.

I opened this café with the best of intentions: to provide a salon par excellence with a focus on good food and live entertainment, a third place to relax and slow down against the rising tide of modernity. A space where one might, after a long day of work, sip a drink, nibble a pastry, or maybe even kick a raunchy can-can. But absolutely not to paint shit.

Please understand that I am in no way attempting to pish posh, or worse, call ballyhoo upon the many wondrous distractions this city has to offer. I’ll have you know that the electric lights of the penny arcade are one of my great pleasures. Window-browsing through our arrondissement’s many fine boutiques? A parsimonious joy. And don’t even get me started on the opium dens. But I’m sorry, the buck stops when a dude in a chore jacket takes out a goddam pastel tray during our nightly cabaret.

Withal, I recognize how the tastes and cultural mores of the audience are subject to change. I myself recall lifting an unwieldy lamp of whale oil upon hearing my favorite brass band’s signature ditty. But times are different now. This is the Belle Epoque, and also, that was a huge fire hazard.

~by Sean Paul Kelley First, Dick Cheney died today. He was 84 years old. It’s a personal policy of mine to avoid speaking ill of the dead on the same day they die. I’ll comment on the consequences of his time in office some time soon. You are certainly free to say whatever you want […]

Note: I was allowed 5 minutes My Lords, I do not know whether it is a punishment or a privilege to be put last in the list of Back-Bench speakers, as I invariably am when it comes to a debate on Ukraine. The noble Lord, Lord Coaker, was powerful and eloquent in opening, and it … Continue reading My speech in the House of Lords on Ukraine – 31st of October

The rigid focus on statistical significance encourages researchers to choose data and methods that yield statistical significance for some desired (or simply publishable) result, or that yield statistical non-significance for an undesired result, such as potential side effects of drugs — thereby invalidating conclusions … Again, we are not advocating a ban on P values, […]
