inHit 100 tomato plants by accident, my garden is now a jungle
Damn, 100 tomato plants?! That's absolutely insane lol. I can barely keep 5 alive without them turning into a bug hotel, so the fact that you've got a whole secret tomato city back there is wild to me. Saving seeds from the weird ones is a slippery slope though, I respect the chaos but your neighbors must think you're growing some kind of forbidden forest at this point. Honestly, I'm kinda jealous, but also terrified of what a storm does to that jungle. Good luck finding all the ripe ones before they split, that's a full time job now.

inWhy does nobody talk about image captioning eating all your API credits
Dodged a similar bullet last month trying to caption some old family photos for a slideshow thing. Dropped $40 into an AI tool before realizing it kept calling my uncle's classic car a 'rusty truck' and my grandma's garden 'a bunch of green stuff.' Ended up just typing the captions myself in like two hours while watching a ballgame. The worst part is the AI was super confident about its wrong answers too, like it would double down on 'red object' when the photo was clearly a blue couch. I swear these vision models are just guessing colors half the time. Now I just keep a notepad file with the captions and copy paste them in, costs me nothing and takes way less time than fighting with the API.

inThat cheap propogation station I bought on Amazon actually works better than my expensive glass ones
Feel you on the clouding worry, thats the main reason I stuck with glass for so long too. Mine are still crystal clear after 6 weeks, not a hint of fog or algae buildup yet. Honestly I'm kicking myself for dropping all that cash on the fancy ones when this cheapo does the job better.
