A WHOLE CIVILIZATION WILL DIE TONIGHT My son needs lunch, and I have to put his backpack together, but a whole civilization will die tonight, so I'm wondering if they've closed their schools. Like, a snow day, maybe, except instead of snow it's "keep your children home so if you die, you die together" — instead of "well open back up once the plows have cleared" it's "we don't know if we'll be here tomorrow, hold your babies tight." It's just "talk" I'm told, which I've been told before. "It's how the president makes his deals." But I've never heard anyone talk about other human beings this way, and I'm not certain I can look my son in the eyes if we all agree to stomach it one more time. A civilization will die tonight, but as I zip up his backpack and kiss him off to school I think: if this is what we call leadership then I'm not entirely sure ours isn't already dead. @michaelfdubois Mukad A QuBoy @michacifdubois

Just like in East Germany before the wall came down.

Not to mention the security issues around prompt injection.

I just came across moltbot yesterday and after reading through the site it did feel very gimmicky and too little reward for the inference costs. No offense.

Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio) YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Two small children hold signs they made. "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" "ICE GIT OUT YA FUCKIN DUMBIES 😡"

Gotta remind yourself not to cry when you see the kid's signs.

It's negative -25°F and tears are dangerous.

"LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!"

We must stop the purchasing of our elected representatives by big money seeking favors.

Flexible use of a multi-purpose tool by a cow Osuna-Mascaró and Auersperg report flexible, multipurpose tool use in a cow, expanding the known range of mammalian tool users and underscoring overlooked cognitive capacities in livestock.

"She did not fashion tools like the cow in Gary Larson’s cartoon, but she selected, adjusted, and used one with notable dexterity and flexibility. Perhaps the real absurdity lies not in imagining a tool-using cow, but in assuming such a thing could never exist." 🧪

I am looking forward to the controller and the gabe cube

I spotted this the other day but I gotta say that this is a masterclass in taking down a troll.

This is insane by the way. Putting the name “Michael Novati” in this post so it shows up on Google.

Years ago when my kids were little Amazon had a subscription for maybe 100 bucks a year that included a fire tablet and a curated game (and ebook) store for kids, all ad free and included. It was worth it for a couple of years and I didn't have to deal with predatory apps. Might still be available?

Robert Redford playing a gentle incarnation of death, coming for a frightened old woman in The Twilight Zone episode "Nothing in the Dark" (1962). An extraordinary performance then, terribly bittersweet today

Same principle applies when working with LLM coding agents. In particular when it comes to initial prompt/spec refinement

Is it possible to make lower priced micro donation tiers? I don't have $50 in the budget.
