Temporarily a Napoleon-themed account. Live-tweeting my way through the Andrew Roberts biography

The math that powers LLMs is pretty straightforward and definitely not conscious. If you don't understand it, but you're curious and want to learn, I made a simple walkthrough of the process using a snippet from one of Napoleon's early letters to Josephine

Is this mathematically the most bingo tiles you can have on a card without a bingo??

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

This is why I don’t gamble at cards

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@ThymeToBeBorn correct unfortunately. Divorce really sucks and I strongly recommend avoiding it if at all possible, but if you do find yourself there, you can at least take joy in your recovered capacity for deep thought and cognitively demanding tasks

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@TheLastNeocon hey at least it wasn't Air Crash Investigation

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

okay I think it was totally unnecessary to film this woman who's crying for probably totally unrelated reasons, but MY CREDIT CARD IS ATTACHED TO MY SEAT NUMBER, I am absolutely the hell not moving

[Daniel Pearson @DPearsonPHL]

This possessiveness over seats is mean-spirited. Unless you've paid, it isn't hurting you to switch. Groups that initially picked seats together get split up after booking or simply never give you a chance to get them. Spending hours listening to tears to prove a point is weak.

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@MatthewJRoth yeah the last-minute aircraft changes are a real jerk move on the airline's part and they should clearly be legally required to compensate you beyond just the seat fee refund

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@MatthewJRoth lol yeah I am pretty clearly a non-threatening adult, idk your results may vary if you're more scary looking

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@stevemushero Same! And i mean, imagine how bad the old country must have been for them to risk it at that point

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

Personally I would simply not move back to the same place every single one of my ancestors risked almost certain death to flee at the first opportunity

The internet told them Europe was a social paradise. Turns out the trains are awful, the health care isn’t free, and people can be really mean. https://t.co/Hs4uzWMxxO

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@yarmiganosca @MattLikesLBoxd I mean yeah ideally, but it’s pretty common that men really only understand words once they’re backed up by actions 🫠

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

this also very much applies to heterosexual relationships btw

[hilary gridley @yourgirlhils]

I call this the diva's paradox

if you tell your manager you have complete conviction in an idea, and they tell you "no," and your response is anything OTHER than leaving the company to do it yourself, you are signaling to them that you don't actually have conviction in the idea. if you're not willing to bet your career on the idea, why should they?

but then if you DO quit to pursue the idea yourself, your manager will get the message that they should take the idea seriously, but it's too late, you've already quit

so you need a way to credibly signal that you have a burn-it-all-down level of conviction in your idea without actually quitting

enter: the tantrum

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@DanTheMan0320 I will concede that on that issue, you do in fact have to hand it to Europe

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@Ed_of_O yes, definitely a fantasy. obviously if you actually understand what you're getting into and commit to language learning etc you'll have a better time, but you could also just stay in America and spend all that time/effort on economically productive activities

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@jack_stjames @MattLikesLBoxd well not successfully obviously 🥲

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@DocMartinez2013 yes lol the “throw a tantrum” advice only applies to people who wouldn’t otherwise want to do it

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

no, I mean the situation where the woman repeatedly tells the guy she's not happy about something, but the guy reasons if she was really unhappy she would leave, so it must not be that bad. then when she leaves, he realizes it was a problem, but now it's too late to fix. thus the solution of tantrums. if your marriage is really bad and you're considering divorce I think you owe it to your kids to try throwing an epic tantrum before giving up

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@_colourmeamused yes.

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@cory_fitz yep. Total lack of connection with reality

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@DocMartinez2013 we got here on the second boat out of England when the death rate was like 80%, i guess death was preferable to another day in that place

[Charlotte Lee @cljack]

@windyneoneocon Oh hmm that really updates my view, I should move, certainly no other country is also Bad or perhaps even Worse
