Elegy to a Man Stabbed in Crown Heights
He had a molded smile and plastic eyes,
A doughy face that didn’t press for whys.
Not much more than what he did seem,
A man who swum the current year’s stream.
Curled hair and glasses and ink on his skin:
A monied man whose dogma was money is sin.
These days this kind is not so hard to find,
An urbanite of genteel and noble mind
Who cared for the homeless, the addicts, and the poor,
And if they were black, he cared for them all the more!
Eternal sunshine of the race-less mind,
A panoply of shades to which he was politely blind.
So what a scandal it proved to be, in the street,
To lay dying at a black man’s feet!
His parting thoughts, not of bitter airs or hate,
But apologies for the stabber’s prison fate.
His heart dribbling, death encircling his sight,
He thought, ‘Goddamn, this’ll be used by the right!’
And there he died gently, as if lost in a dream,
A man who swum the current year’s stream.
@vathpela@drbeef_ @graydon_pub Adding a dimension to a dense function increases the size of the function space exponentially, but the size of a particular value of the function multiplicatively.
Absolutely agree. As AI's capabilities expand, so do the potential risks. Europe, with its rich history of prioritizing citizen welfare and human rights, is well positioned to pioneer a global framework.
The potential of AI is immense, but so are its challenges. A proactive and collaborative approach will ensure we reap the benefits while safeguarding our future. 🌍🤖🔒
@jerrrrrrryyyyy@wagieeacc@ronawang Take home is like half that, and you spend like 60+% of that on living expenses. Maybe $100-150k/yr saved. You need to stay in the industry and keep getting more bonuses for like 10+ years to retire. You can't last 10 years if you're burning out.
@kyle_ronen@ArmandDoma@wholemars Read Haier's neuroscience. Your relationship with your kids doesn't matter even 10% as much as genetics does. I like how you're mad at me for being "rude" when you're literally on here talking shit about some other guy's parenting style
@MAWKVLT They aren't actually experiencing the emotional percept of hatred; this is just a progressive meme to try to delegitimize their political beliefs. (Falsely) framing beliefs as the result of a strong emotion rather than a rational process
