@HomerPavlos Of course, @TuckerCarlson prick. They kindly asked my predecessors to leave the suburbs of Constantinople!!! They didnt slaughter, steal or rape them.

Gambling disorder cases have started skyrocketing in states where sports betting is legal (this started ~May, 2018) following the end of COVID.

They've remained flat from COVID to today in states where it has remained illegal.

That's pretty cool! They decompose the weight matrices into interpretable subsets (that part needs a lot more than 4 tokens iiuc) and then basically tune down the subset for German, which destroys German performance while keeping almost everything else intact (unlike lora)

@jlcjak I’ve been waiting for this for a long time

My favorite Greek word is δοκησίσοφος (dokisísophos), which means the one who thinks himself wise but is stupid. Nowadays, these people reign. Everyone has an opinion about everything. The uneducated are more persuasive to the crowd than the educated. People are moved more by flattering shadows than by the light of true wisdom.

@nntaleb Question is, is there a proof of concept for that, and if yes why isn’t it already implemented and we have these nonsense stats?

A one hour walk in nature increases a core region in the brain for inhibiting stress.

Nature is neuroplasticity.

Hi @Support

My algorithm exposes me to political propaganda in Greece, although I always press “Not interested” in ads and posts. Please do something about 1. Paid political bots, 2. Paid campaigns to promote them.

Btw I haven’t ever shown political interest in my profile.

More evidence, from a large-scale study in China, that using AI hurts learning if it undermines mental effort. When homework time drops due to AI use, so do test scores.

Across studies, a theme: AI tutoring in support of classes is good, using AI to "help" with homework is bad.

@IntCyberDigest That could be some revenge game against the multi thousand layoffs this year

They are putting DATA CENTERS in the ocean now.

Panthalassa, a startup from Portland, just raised $140 MILLION.

what they do: build floating platforms that sit out at sea and run AI. no power grid needed. the ocean waves make all the electricity. the seawater keeps the chips cool.

How it works: big floating balls bob up and down with the waves. that motion makes power. the power runs the AI chips inside.

backed by PETER THIEL. company now worth almost $1 BILLION.

land is running out of room and power for AI. so the next move is simple. go to the sea.

@IntCyberDigest @DomboMax If you’re running @GrapheneOS but own a car that need an “app”, you’re doing it wrong.

@Diaolou_Kaltsa Boycott supermarkets, support your local dealers aka Παντοπωληδες :)

I feel obligated to let my fellow nerds know that paper-like screens are the foundation for healthier computing.

Reflective displays means no flicker, natural light, and blue-light-free amber backlight at night.

we’ll look back on the 2010-2020s as this utterly insane period where we stared into flickering screens most of our waking hours … wondering why we were so distracted and dysregulated

The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward.

I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress.

When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment.

Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks.

They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around.

Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits?

The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.
