I was just accused of “cherry picking” scripture because I pointed out a translation choice.

I’m so baffled I can’t wait to find out what isn’t cherry picking.

I dunno, my pomchi is orange and does a pretty good imitation of brilliant moments of brain cell possession and the utter cluelessness indicative of its' absence.

It’s so good! I hope you enjoy.

Yeah okay that was awesome.

Happy “Speed Racer in IMAX” day to all who celebrate. Stoked to get to see this today.

Define “intelligence” first. Without that anyone who tries to explain is shadow boxing.

Damn. That happened to me with Sunna. Guaranteed pull was Nekomata. Feels super awful.

Booo! That's my one hangup with ZZZ so far. Pull Odds are just a little south of what feels "good" to me, especially for there not being a general pull that all characters are available in.

Sorry the month is being kinda shit for you.

Count me as a farmhand, still trying to unfuck my mental state around sexuality thanks to "Purity Culture".

The section of Evangelion 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon A Time where they live in the little town is a balm on my soul every time I watch it. I know the Rebuild movies have a mixed reputation but I love them, and this sequence is a large part of why.

Happy Surrender and Freedom Day! On April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac. home.nps.gov/apco/planyou...

“That singe stick of dynamite didn’t clear the mountainside of snow I told you we needed more!”

It has been 3 seconds, let physics work…

I know it’s hard but people seek to forget that the arc of the moral universe is _long_. It takes time. So the good thing knowing you may not see it succeed!

@secretsleepoversociety.com this seems like y’all’s jam…

Keep calling for impeachment or 25th idc that he called off the doomsday machine

A Truck Driver Spent 20 Years Making This Astonishing Scale Model of Every Single Building in New York City The 1,350-square-foot model is now on display at the Museum of the City of New York, where visitors can use binoculars to see tiny replicas of all five boroughs

There is a period of time in the Dresden Files books where Harry has created a scale model of Chicago so that he can perform magic on a city scale more easily. And now we have an example of what that might look like (substitute New York for Chicago), Wild.

A small long-haired dog sleeping on several blankets.

I kid you not, my fuzzy child will wait until I have left the room and then jump into my spot. Bathroom, drink, a book from the other room, it doesn’t matter. As soon as I am out of sight he’s curling up where I was. But only if I go out of sight, otherwise he just watches.

I always thought it was driven off of the power plant, since they mastered antimatter power generation abusing energy to matter transformation should be relatively easy.

Based on what I know of Weir’s books this feels very Orson Scott Card coded. Beautiful and meaningful prose on a topic the author seems to be ashamed of. The cognitive dissonance is wild.

I know (hope?) I'm growing up a bit when I see a question with... an obvious answer, like literal historical example with ongoing _daily_ reminders of the answer, and restrain my sarcastic response and instead decide "I think I'm tired of people today, time to get off the internet."

I am so tired of the lack of nuance in conversations, online or off.

So, so tired.

I get that 300 characters, or 30 seconds, or whatever your preferred social media gives you, isn't a lot. But funnily enough they _all_ have ways to extend that with replies, or novel concept, you could create your own website and link to it!

Regardless, 1/2

LLM Marketing that wants to pretend that ChatGPT or Claude are going to help cure cancer needs push back, and simple education can help with that. If you're not interested that's fine. But maybe don't be mad when people push back on what you say if it is wrong.

I was hoping to learn, considering your claims didn't match what I understood about LLMs. You made me aware of a neat experiment on the ISS. When discussing tech clarity is important. "AI" isn't clear enough. LLMs are not ML, though they are related. Knowing that can help clarify many issues.

I asked if you would be willing to Educate. You didn't say no, and you responded, so I took it as assumed. My apologies.

Then maybe don't offer to educate people on the topic? The distinction matters a lot, and is important because the correct tools used for their tasks are good at what they do, while the wrong tools make mistakes easier and even can make harm inevitable.

So the whole economy is vibe coded now. I love living in this time period. I hate living in this time period.

No it’s not. That’s why I was asking for LLM use specifically. Machine Learning is a whole other kettle of really useful fish.

It’s an important distinction.

Got a source on what the LLM is doing for them? All I can find is a bunch of marketing speak about _testing_ the use of LLMs to reduce astronaut reliance on earth based computation.

So can you educate those of us not responding like that? I would be genuinely curious to see your sources for _LLMs_ contributing to science in a useful way.
