Ngl it's so nice having terminally online weirdos remind me I'm 100% cis with absolutely no risk and suddenly I'm cured and have never experienced any kind of transphobic bullshit

I honestly hate that the rest of the world is now discovering the rationalist weirdos. Most techy people aren't like this! A lot of them just like making cool shit and want a paycheck and aren't part of some doomsday cult

Seahawks gonna do what now

It's so fucking funny in therapy just dropping something vaguely horrifying I experienced as a kid mid session and when my therapist paused, horrified I just say "that was the pedophile" and suddenly everything is back to normal

I kind of wish I could publicly discuss what I'm reading more explicitly but whenever a piece of media is critical of fascism, because fascists must be in it to be critical of, people with absolutely zero media literacy (80% of bsky) then associate it with fascism

It's actually fucking wild that I ended up with a friend group of traumatized eldest daughters who were raised by circumstance to people please and care for others who are kind of queer and all have been abused by somebody with bpd trying to take advantage of that rather than wanting to get better

Ngl it's kind of funny reading a book set in a fantasy world where 1) Jews exist and 2) the author starts off page 1 by saying "there is no antisemitism in this world. Yes it looks dramatically different"

Woah. This is good news. People may not realize it when they demand this feature, but what they're saying is "I will not buy a car which requires an ongoing subscription to remain fully functional" and it is a good sign GM may be responding to that. carbuzz.com/gm-not-compl...

GM May Not Completely Kill Apple CarPlay And Android Auto After All

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available for the 2027 Cadillac Lyriq despite GM saying it's not going to include them anymore.

The thing is, the general public is functionally 12. They don't like data centers existing, but they like having all the things data centers let them have. They want to have their cake and eat it too. It's NIMBYism.

Amtrak delays are so pervasive they even show up in the Apple Keynote.

Huh my favourite ship pairing for this series becomes "platonic life partner" canon apparently so that's fucking cool

So it looks like openai was doing a vortex approach for navier stokes which is honestly not hugely unexpected as a result this kind of thing would look like. It's at least in line with a lot of other known PDE discontinuities. The big question remaining is whether this meets physical constraints.

Wait Seattle had racial preferences in community gardening allotments?

Anyway if this gets verified I never want to hear "stochastic parrot" again because if next token prediction can solve navier stokes then that's rather more earth shattering than a parrot of any description.

I think they've graduated from dog whistle to loudspeaker

I think I might go lay down for a few minutes after that

Holy fuck. If this gets verified it's absolutely huge and I'm honestly unsure what the fuck happens from here. openai.com/index/navier...

On the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem

We’re sharing an AI-generated solution to the Navier–Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, including a writeup and a formal proof in Lean.

I’m back this week with some thoughts on violence, civil conflict, revolutions, and, yes, Luigi Mangione www.liberalcurrents.com/you-wont-win...

You Won’t Win the Revolution

The descent of stable societies into ones of endemic violence rarely produces anything but new forms of tyranny and terror.

Oh great. Everybody is rediscovering the Oct 7 warning and turning it into a conspiracy again while forgetting that Israel gets dozens to hundreds of such warnings, often contradictory and that unfortunately not all of them can be acted upon.

Today is one of those days I'm really glad I keep kosher with how I keep hearing about food safety issues

Yeah I frequently describe them as functioning similar to logic compilers at this point with less emphasis on syntax. They're quite good at that and the output (the code) can even produce a deterministic result (from the code) too.

I’ve gotten this a couple times so one thing to clear up: At this point I think AI coding is akin to having a new compiler, and the language is just natural text (often specs). LLMs do not currently have the capability to make good engineering decisions past a certain level of complexity

Here is a guest on Tucker Carlson’s podcast saying that algebra is a conspiracy by the Jews to turn people into “good little goy slaves.” I wish I was joking.

Ngl it's kind of cool my butt is developed enough I can just hang towels off of it now. An amazing perk of actually eating enough

Still weird thinking about how I got reprimanded for surviving a hate crime, but also yeah I was right to leave academia. I'd hate to be junior faculty surrounded by campus nonsense right now

Yup. Either politicians do not believe they can successfully convince their constituents to trust their increased tax burden will be more than offset by decreases in other costs like, say private health insurance premiums, or they simply do not want to make that argument. But they should.

*whispers* Any major social welfare program or any effort to reduce the deficit will require raising taxes on the middle class. Not just the rich

I was out biking around earlier and when I was passing my doctor's office I saw some orthodox kids out playing baseball and a few of the girls waved at me and I really hope they're enjoying their weekend

Since AOC apparently thinks MAHA might have a point, this is your regularly scheduled reminder that seed oils do not make you transgender

Everybody thinks I'm weird when I tell them moose will kill them just for fun. I think they like the ambiance of corpses or something

Oh great so German elections in sachsen-anhalt may see the far right and far left populist parties form a horse government over their shared hatred of immigrants and queer people. I'm sure this doesn't have precedent there specifically
