I want to be clear that a load bearing pillar of fighting fascism is exactly this

Afroman - Lemon Pound Cake (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) YouTube video by ogafroman

For the curious, Afroman's house got raided in 2022 for no legitimate reason. They accused him of kidnapping and drug trafficking and ogled a lemon pound cake, which led him to make this video.

Sadly, this is not at all unusual. There have been numerous incidents where cops screamed contradictory instructions at terrified citizens and then shot them for disobeying one of the edicts.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

I personally recommend watching this on a loop. 👀

Leaders with no fucks to give is 🎶 to my millennial ears.

Trump and his supporters are truly deplorable. Hilary was right!

It really is that bad. Grant funded science, supposedly a key piece of American exceptionalism, was already a huge headache. Now it’s looking nearly impossible.

The latter probably isn't true in all areas, but in fields like informatics where there is little direct funding, we almost never get funding for the science that needs to be done.

Things were tough even before this with low funding rates, budget cuts that never funded the full cost of the work that needed to be done, and RFPs and metrics that put grants over the science that really needed to be done.

Only intelligent, responsible readers take them seriously. The rest support Trump!

As an atheist I am a far better Christian than anyone who supports the Republican party. Mike Johnson is essentially the anti-Christ.

Also, that was supposed to be "power LAW of learning"

Psychologists often viewed the power law of learning and forgetting as a limitation, but Anderson and Schooler showed that it was an adaptation to the environment. Recalling all possible relevant info would overwhelm a person. Bayesian models of cognition are based on similar arguments.

Anderson and Schooler linked the optimization problems faced in predicting library book circulation and human memory by adapting Burrell's model to predict the probability of a memory being accessed as a function of past use. We show that this model predicts the odds of a document being accessed.

Predicting biomedical document access as a function of past use To determine whether past access to biomedical documents can predict future document access. The authors used 394 days of query log (August 1, 2009 to August 29, 2010) from PubMed users in the Texas Medical Center, which is the largest medical ...

The supreme court and the Republican Regime are protecting him. They care about power and nothing more.

It is trash, but university leaders are now spineless in the face of the GOP regime. Here in Texas, faculty have been stripped of power. We had to rename our Faculty Governance Organization the Faculty Group for Organization because we are no longer allowed to make decisions.

It’s the year 2025 and Americans have to watch a bootlegged international version of a news program because it was censored here in our country to protect a criminal president.

CBS Frantically Tries to Stop People From Seeing Censored ‘60 Minutes’ The network began a game of whack-a-mole with a segment that newly hired Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss didn’t want to air.

Paramount Skydance, CBS News’ parent company, began issuing a flurry of copyright notices on X, YouTube, and other platforms to stop the 60 Minutes segment from being broadcast. But the video was ultimately saved in the Internet Archive, among other places.

What is worse is the number of people in the US who still support such vile, inhumane people.

Between the TP USA rally, the 60 Minutes CECOT piece and the daily ICE horror show videos, there should be no doubt this regime is 100% capable of genocide, concentration camps, the whole works.

And from an AGI perspective, I find it interesting to consider how an LLM (or related architecture) could solve things like BB without extra training on the task.

The broader question is whether BB-like issues extend to novel diagnostic scenarios with similar properties. For example, does the model need to have been trained on the combinations of comorbidities, or can it handle novel combinations of known diseases?

Also, the prediction task is largely visual, but the abductive task (the full game) is about inferring hidden (often interacting) causes.

That's the additional part here. I don't know how much of medical reasoning is visuospatial. Some of it certainly is. Some of it is also temporal. I think some of the LLM difficulty is a representational effect and an isomorphic representation may result in better performance.
