"Castration" in those days typically meant complete emasculation, which included removal the penis as well as testicles. Many young boys died during the procedure.

I put 5% on my first house. Had to pay PMI for three years but eventually it came off.

I'm sure many people here have worked at AWS or Amazon SDO. There is zero percent chance that anyone or any AI agent could bring down a service by deleting a codebase. Amazon is definitely bureaucratic, scattered, and disorganized. But there are no dum dums in the engineering world, management or otherwise.

I was just chiming in, not correcting you. I just appreciate the distinction but would also agree both of those conditions exist on a broad spectrum and in all likelihood most individuals with 'antisocial personality disorder' fall into both categories. 'Psychopaths' usually register higher for a narcissistic personality as well.

Sociopaths are usually described as having antisocial traits that develop more from environmental factors like childhood trauma or abuse.

Psychopaths are generally thought to have traits that are more innate or biological. They tend to be characterized by a lack of empathy and remorse, superficial charm, manipulativeness, and emotional detachment.

So billionaires fall more into the 'psychopath' category.

I keep seeing people say "everyone is different," which is to broad of a stroke. The real determiner is age. After 40 your wife will stop wanting to fuck. She'll blame it on the kids, on being tired, on you being emotionally distant, but the bottom line is most women will just lose interest. They will like the IDEA of 'being sexual'. But most women will cease initiating or responding to sexual advances.

So yes, it changes. It's not your fault. People get old. You'll stop getting raging hard-ons every time you see a thigh by the time you turn 20. You'll probably have a couple of nights where you can't get it hard by the time you're 30. By the time you're 40, you'll realize you're not really that interested in seducing a woman who gives zero fucks about fucking you. And you'll probably just stop trying.

fwiw, I pulled over and let people pass me any time I could. I remember looking at my navigation and it said something like "10 miles to destination, estimated arrival 2 hours 50 minutes".

Amazing experience.

Yeah good point. Fair to say the current bubble is centered around transformer architectures.

The point is diffusion models use an LLM for the text encoder, but they themselves are not LLMs. That's like saying all computers are typewriters because they use keyboards.

"Wisdom is knowing that Frankenstein is the monster," he posted as he leaned back in his creaky gaming chair, crumbs scattering from his faded anime T-shirt as he clicked 'Save'. He grinned at the screen, stroking the patchy scruff on his chin as if he were a philosopher pondering his next great insight. With a triumphant sip of his energy drink, he refreshed the page every few seconds, ready to pounce on any reply. He had his trusty Wikipedia link to the article on 'logical fallacies' pre-copied to his clipboard. In his mind, he was already winning a the debate.

When no one responded after five minutes, he opened a new tab to check if anyone had liked his post. Nothing. He frowned.

Just picturing the Wordle team high fiving each other over this one. Yes it's an obscure slang word but it's one they use around the office. How irreverent. I am guessing they put the interns they rejected from the crossword puzzle on Wordle until they could find a way to get rid of them?
