Psychologist Stanley Milgram found that 80% of people do not have the psychological and moral resources to defy an authority's order, no matter how legitimate the order is. Only 20% have critical capacity.

This explains everything.

You know what’s scary?

The people who actually believed this logic are still walking among us… and they get to vote.

growing the tree of knowledge🌳: visualizing my notes in a graph, each cluster is a topic, each note grows in the order i saved it , oldest at the core, bluest in hue.
continuing my experiments in visual knowledge bases ✨

Tyler Robinson’s exact apartment address was Google-searched IN HEBREW from the Egyptian jet that was stalking Charlie Kirk — while that jet sat parked in Lincoln, Nebraska on April 29, 2025.

Lost my phone at the office and spent 30 minutes turning the place over. Find My was disabled by MDM.

Out of ideas, I asked Claude how I could find it. It suggested tracking the Bluetooth signal strength, then wrote me a meter in about a minute.

I walked around watching the number climb. Found it.

Apparently you can just make the tool you need now.

@MHTruthUltra Best to just detach and observe what's going on. It's all in God's hand and there never was any hope for the human species. Everyone learning the eternal lesson the hard way.

Bash: "Covid was a scary time."

RFK: "You were scaring people."

Bash: "Why are you saying that?"

RFK: "Because that was the job of CNN. To put the chyrons up on how many people are dying to get people to believe a lie."

@creation247 I agree with the teachings of Jesus

Seedance 2.5 AI video is absolutely insane!

I believe AI video has now been fully solved and the rest is extending the time scales or context management of these videos and bringing the cost down.

This is indistinguishable from a real video to me!

🚨 LMFAO! HHS Sec. Bobby Kennedy QUICKLY out-matched CNN's Dana Bash, causing her to get visibly upset

RFK: I'm trying to find out why autism is rising!

BASH: Have you checked on people's DNA?

RFK: You probably don't understand this because you're not a scientist, but genes don't cause—

BASH: You're not either!

RFK: Genes don't cause it, you need an environmental cause. YOUR statement, you have been fooled, that this has been studied! It is categorically NOT TRUE.

BASH: It is considered—

RFK: Considered by WHO?!

BASH: By every scientist who has studied this

RFK: That is NOT TRUE. I can give you hundreds of scientists who have looked at this and say why isn't it studied!

someone open-sourced a tool that turns any phone video into a full 3D world in real time.

you record a walk around your house, drop the mp4 in, and the entire scene comes back as a walkable 996k-point world at 60fps on your local GPU.

no cloud. no subscription. runs 100% locally.

100% open source.

Spent some time reading this over the weekends and honestly I wish it existed a few years ago.

every AI tutorial we watch says : "just import torch and don't worry about it, it's magic!" this paper: "here is the exact linear algebra of what a transformer is actually doing."

if you're sick of reading vague tech blogs and just want to see the actual math behind attention mechanisms, tokenization, and KV caching, someone finally wrote a proper guide.

it basically strips away all the software engineering fluff and translates LLMs into pure math. you can finally stop treating these models like black boxes and actually understand the math making them tick.

genuinely a must-read if you want to know what's really going on under the hood:
