He's really sold the bit, hasn't he?

Yet, if you cover up his hair, he easily scans as "generic English aristocrat."

People probably asked the same question about the first Habsburgs.

I used to think that comparing LLMs to people was dumb, because LLMs are just feed-forward networks--basically seven bipartite graphs in a trench coat--that are incapable of introspection.

However, I'm coming around to the notion that some of our drive-by visitors have a brain that's seven cells deep.

Protip: If you give a hackernews 25 candies, it evolves into a programmingdotdev.

The riff-raff have brought us a graft grift.

Maybe I'm being too cynical. It wouldn't be the first time this week that someone drew a spooky picture, would it?

Oh no, are you mad at me? (j/k!!)

CRITIHYPE, thank you! I couldn't find the word!

If I had to guess a motive, it would be to bring mirror biology out of the obscurity of pure research (who funds that anymore?) and to instead plant it firmly into the popular zeitgeist as a "scary thing" that needs to be defended against. This can lead to it becoming a trendy topic, and therefore fundable by grant-awarding agencies.

Us ADHD people really have to get our rejection sensitivity under control, I tell ya what.

Casting Harlan Ellison as the Acausal Robot God is just the best.

Looks like a local boy did good.

I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.

I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

Rojava has built what seems like a robust, equitable, bullshit-resistant mutual aid system in the face of incredible resistance. The idea of a system that can be an autonomous administration in some areas while operating--possibly legally--in parallel with a nation-state government in others is something I find very appealing.

I'm having a hard time understanding how the underlying system works in detail. I think this is largely due to a language barrier.

Any recommendations for Bookchin/Öcalan type reading for beginners? I've procrastinated on it because I hate reading theory (and it's always embarrassing to need hand holding at my age), but needs must. I haven't had much luck turning up English language stuff that lays out how the system works in a way I could share with a casual observer.

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.

 

When you think MURDER, think MARCUS MUNITIONS!
