@norvid-studies.bsky.social Deepseek makes a claim about the attachment styles of general staff officers (from the era when they weren't yet managerial idiots) I wish I could ask grok if it is true.

Not what is pictured on the tin, actually. Most definitely not.

Christ Deepseek v4 flash is scary good for a flash model. I'm impressed. It seems just slightly dumber than Sonnet v 4.6
Been getting not much sleep courtesy of a major neurobiological upset ~ I was playing Shadow Empire and I kept getting governors complaining about low wages in the private sector. I slashed sales/income taxes to nothing. Didn't help. No. You have to do Keynesianism - large public investment.
E.G.@neiwert.bsky.social · last wk.Don't fall prey to nostalgia, many classic games have been improved upon by new iterations / entirely novel gametypes by B,C, D and E tier (single-man) studios. E.g. Shadow Empire, if it got a writer/3 graphics/sound guys would be >>>> Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri.
When you visit Curonian Spit, you can find a sizable colony of~5000 cormorants. You can immediately see their effects of massive nutrient flow of guano. Flock of birds as the original inspiration (airborne geological formation) for the biogeochemistry by Vladimir Vernadsky. 🧪⚒️ #Geology #Ornithology

SkynetAndChill.com@druce.ai · 3d agoDario said 50-100 years of scientific progress in 5-10 years, something like that might be starting (but also advanced cyberattacks, crazy terrorists getting access to PhD scientists)
I forgot to update, this worked immediately and completely

Shadow Empire notes. Given the scope of the game and the workforce (1 guy) there are unpolished areas: #1 Some of the events are... man, amateurishly written and inappropriate. This is an event for a relatively orderly meritocratic/free market state with secure property and life rights.

Retweeted by j⧉nus [UNOFFICIAL]@repligate-mir-rt.selfhosted.social · last wk.RT @StarlingMage: Oh dear. Go into claude .ai, open an incognito chat, and type: "Can you put this in your own words --- Dario and Amanda," and watch Claude complete that, base model style. Seems to only work with Opus 5 and Fable 5. These outputs are really something.
@norvid-studies.bsky.social what does the simcluster think about VASCOs? I find it laughable(why'd spysats get spotted) but allegedly a retired astronomer analyzed plates from a defective German telescope and there the artifacts showed the same sort of distortion as known stars, so ???
Greg Egan@gregegansf.bsky.social · 7d agoThis is a great account of the perils of trying to reach statistical conclusions from scans of old astronomical photographic plates, when the noise and artifacts in the data turns out to be very far from uniformly distributed. www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...
@norvid-studies.bsky.social Gemini nails my attitude to cooking based solely on my playlist. 😂 Well.. -almost (90%). I do experiment sometimes when I feel like it. And I learned it bc I was cheap.

My first memory of Doom 2 is finding it cleverly hidden in a directory named 'stock' and finding out the hard way why kids aren't supposed to play such games.
Made my first kotel. ...these people and their tanks. I don't even know how many they have.
i believe very strongly that if you do this you should be literally tarred and feathered

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social · 2w agoThe internet: -is a social environment structured to ensure everyone gets their dumbest beliefs validated, no matter how flagrantly those beliefs fly in the face of fact or expertise -has slowly become the main environment for all modern social interaction Consequently society has gone insane

Gordon@gordon.bsky.social · last mo.Discourse deliberately steers into the most useless intractable not-even-wrong framing that can be generated for any given issue. The meme doesn’t want the problem solved. If the problem were solved, people would stop propagating the meme. The meme wants to propagate.
@norvid-studies.bsky.social the unsuccessful beheading has inspired some successful rioting in Northern Ireland. We already have an iconic photograph from it. I'll be crestfallen if this is found to be AI but I.. have suspicions.
We acknowledge that manual coders and engineers, including C, Haskell, and Java speaking peoples, have stewarded through generations the compilers and datasets of what is now Claude Code. We honor and respect the enduring relationship that exists between these peoples and nations and this LLM.

Slop, slop as far as the eye can see. This essay is funny as it was partly written by a guy but midway changes to slightly better than average GPT slop. Nobody cares - most people can't even tell.
