I worked on this. Yay! 🤗

“You’ve got to be in the game to get played” is some choice cope.

And you may ask yourself, "How do I work this?"

And you may ask yourself, "Where is that large automobile?"

At a recital yesterday, a performer introduced her original song explaining it was inspired by Ballerina Farm.

She is, I learned, an Utah tradwife influencer, whose husband came off so badly in a recent profile, that now strangers in San Francisco are writing songs about her.

Beware journalists!

This is what is tantalizing about social media.

It’s like this alternate social world, which is always accessible, and in some ways much better than real life (more compatible people) but then the downside is, it’s barely real.

It’s so fleeting. Interactions not relationships.

This thread makes good points but misses the big one: selection.

A feed is so highly selected that the average quality of interlocutors is just off the charts.

In a real party of randos, I’d be astonished to meet just one person as engaging as many accounts I follow (like OP for instance)

mammoth munchers are still among us.

Do we know if the first uses of perspective had devices as aids?

A question for ML/AI folks: what is some public, numerical evidence which shows the prevalence of encoder-only models (like BERTs) vs decoder-only models (like GPTs)?

Numbers like, total count of all inferences per month, over all systems everywhere?

Cool! Funny that they show the tooth in the figure but never discuss it.

The miniaturization to tooth size seems feasible, since AirPods already exist, and a tooth might give you input via ingressive speech and output via bone conduction. Would be weird as hell, of course...

Had a large tooth extracted, leaving a useless gap way in the back of my mouth.

Seems like a waste.

How long until I can stick a small Bluetooth bone-conduction headset there so I can silently talk to AIs?

Got more than 8 hours sleep last night, something I do only a couple times a year.

I feel remarkable!

Is this normal? Something I can do every night, or it has dangerous addiction potential?

Sign of an underlying malady?

Margaret Thatcher needed 3 hours?

But we do this with our family IRL all the time!

How nice that academic performance appears as one factor out of ten.

Been doing these AoC problems since they're material we're using in the solveit.fast.ai course, where I'm offering office hours.

One theme of the course is using AI to help you think not to think for you.

This problem's a good case for that. Lots of room for clerical errors. 🥵

I remember liking it in high school but also that my beloved English teacher seemed a bit sniffy about it, which had me doubting myself. 😕

ChatGPT says toothaches hurt worse around 3am because circadian rhythms lead to lower cortisol, higher inflammation, and more pain.

But wouldn’t this increase all sorts of pain around 3am? 🤔

Also, please help me, what are some effective remedies for toothache??? 😩

(My first time doing advent of code! Good clean fun.)

My character flaws are still waiting for their big moment to shine!

The word “bait” may be very misleading.

I was thinking about a point emphasized by an old acting teacher of mine: people go to shows in order to have emotional experiences — basically, to have their emotions stimulated.

So are people being tricked by bait or getting what they actually came for?

If they were making up stories based on noise every month for years, without knowing it, did making stories based on true data lead to any different outcomes at all?
