I need to be reminded of this exercise on a daily basis.

“If you, as a White person, would like to be treated the way Black people are in this society, stand."

Watch who stands in response to Jane Elliott.

Right after I finished watching this my wife Cathy wandered into my office. I told her "I have just watched a longish video on the history of Linux adoption that didn't mention me once."

She peered at me and said "How does that make you feel?"

"Victorious," I said. "When my crazy ideas become such conventional wisdom that my name isn't on them anymore, I won."

They drugged her
They raped her
They told others to join them.
No one stopped it.

Fuck all of them! To hell with all of them.

That's the fvking point!

Heads up, @OpenAI and @AnthropicAI. Rumor reaches my ears that you're doing a stupid thing, and should stop before you damage yourselves.

I hear you've now nerfed your models so that when people try to use them to clean the spamware and spyware out of their televisions, you block that.

If you really want Chinese open-weight models and open-source projects like OpenWaldo to eat your lunch, crippling your models so that people paying expensive subscriptions can't use them for completely legitimate purposes is a great way to accomplish this.

If, on the other hand, you'd rather have a volume business, maybe stupid arbitrary restrictions that look like they have the sole purpose of protecting corporate sleazeballs aren't such a good idea.

A word to the wise should be sufficient.

@mutableos We could do the same for drug smuggling, credit card fraud, bad checks, etc. Think friction. The added friction to commerce. We could but each rule would slow travel, sales, etc.

It's a conscious decision to accept some losses, some fraud, just as a cost of ease of commerce.

Is #Attention crudely defined (backpropagation) the answer?

Or is math a poor imitation of human mental processes.

When we learn, we don't have to compare new facts to every other fact we know to adjust "weights."

Better modeling, not compute optimizations, is the future.

About 75,000 high school girls get raped by their male coaches each year. There’s less than 40 trans athletes competing at the high school level. Guess which problem these fucking idiots think is worse?

[Bryce, the CUDA Colonel @blelbach]

The C++26 ballot has failed. I am disappointed but not surprised.

The C++ standardization process has been broken for a long time, and it's only getting worse.

Over the last two years, a pattern has emerged in which arcane process has been used to avoid or silence the will of the majority.

It is time for a change. C++ leadership must exit ISO and establish an open and fair standardization process of their own.

@PatrickHeizer But perhaps an exact solution in Go or biology isn't the requirement. Consider what would a good enough answer require?

[Patrick Durusau Seeking Demise of #WhiteSupremacy @patrickDurusau]

@maklelan Congratulations! I'm sure you will enjoy it!

[Patrick Durusau Seeking Demise of #WhiteSupremacy @patrickDurusau]

@Hedgesgurl The political thing to do, but we deserve far worse.

[Patrick Durusau Seeking Demise of #WhiteSupremacy @patrickDurusau]

@zoobab Ooooh, I like the way you think!

More data that is missing from LLMs:

1. Credit card purchases and correspondence.

2. Bank account records and all the records banks generate.

3. Stock exchange records.

Relevant to behavior, social practices, and payments to politicians.

@Ross__Hendricks It does lose the element of surprise. I suppose the surprise is when we actually attack instead of just saying we will attack.

@mutableos - Thought of you when I saw this!

Suggestions on copying Gemini response when the ask anything box is in the way? The highlight just stops. Simple trick around it?

Assuming there is any truth to this post, this is a US weapon based on the US strategy of an information rich battlefield. Every soldier is hooked into command. I bet combat veterans will like being supervised by desk jockeys.

Hint: The Iranians are buried under meters and meters of rock and sand, not centimeters. Blackhawks may disrupt local radios, cellphones, electronic games, but not much else. Mark this as a failure. Wrong weapon against the wrong enemy.

I hate that every Right Winger standing is a fascist POS who will literally tear up and destroy everything and turn their country into a dictatorship.

But the Left Wing candidates are just normal slightly Left Wing.

The Left need to destroy the system too.

Bring the FIRE.

@HormuzLetter One can only hope the US pays as heavy a price as its colony, Israel.

Innocent Americans? Any of us could have stepped up to cleanse ourselves of Zionists. We didn't. Don't talk to me about innocents. Innocents are in #Gaza and in schools for girls in #Iran.
