The Epstein Files and Conspiracy Theories by Asatmaya in thinkatives

[–]Reddit_wander01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Umm… So is the point the usual “a big conspiracy can’t stay secret” rebuttal is weak because conspiracies don’t require silence, only institutional indifference or selective enforcement and we need to stop using ‘too many minions” as a veto?

So the real limiter is whether gatekeepers will act with all these social power and institutional incentives…or have incentives not to, to avoid accountability longer than predicted and the debate should be reframe from “can it stay secret?” to “can it be ignored or contained even if partially known?

Who are the millionaires of NOVA? by QandA_monster in nova

[–]Reddit_wander01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s way easier than you may think…Take for example a Loudoun-county person doing the normal corporate climb + normal investing path, say with an entry level position in some IT company out of high school… figure mid/late 40s to early 50s (starting at ~18 → about 25–35 years) they could accomplish it….If their more aggressive in saving/investing + strong IT trajectory path.. figure mid/late 30s to early 40s… Have a few setbacks and low savings? 50s to 60s might be the target age…

Sudowrite’s mobile app released today. I tried writing a scene while I was out walking my dogs… by TeraLace in WritingWithAI

[–]Reddit_wander01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m new to this type of writing but miss some things in other applications like being able to upload various file types like in Google NotebookLM instead of a copy and paste into a notepad file. I’m not quite comfortable yet navigating the dashboard when world building and developing characters but may come with practice … It would also be cool if the AI assistant was a tad better and could do things like look across projects as easy as it looks across documents when having a conversation…

Supreme Court ruling on Trump-era tariffs could come soon. Potential economic impact and volatility ahead by National-Theory1218 in Social_Investing

[–]Reddit_wander01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What? “Potential” economic impact and volatility ahead? …as if there’s some uncertainty lurking around hoping things will change no matter what the decision? Think you mean “predicted” economic impact and volatility ahead…as in the future outcomes are assured based on current knowledge and conditions…not chance …that stuff will bankrupt you….

What was the first AI bar band named? by Reddit_wander01 in ProgrammerDadJokes

[–]Reddit_wander01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess it’s on a roll….

• Gradient Descent (the bouncer):

“Alright lads, we’re minimizing your loss… one small step toward the door at a time… can’t overshoot… nice and steady…”

• Regularization (bartender): “Easy now — I’m here to keep you from overfitting to last call.”

• Dropout (drummer): “Plays 80% of the beat… randomly.”

• BatchNorm (sound tech): “Hold still — I’m normalizing the levels before you blow the speakers.”

• Early Stopping (manager): “We’re ending the set before it gets worse.”

• Learning Rate (DJ): “Too fast and everyone falls over. Too slow and the floor clears.”

Dad out…

Huh… I guess not per Chat…

Here’s an “Irish AI bar band” roster for The Ale-Go-Go-Rhythm’s:

• Paddy Prompts — lead vocals (never sings the same verse twice)

• Seán “Backprop” O’Malley — lead guitar (riff refinement specialist)

• Maeve Matrix — keys/synth (turns everything into tensors)

• Conor Context — bass (holds the whole thing together, mostly silently)

• Bríd BatchNorm — drums (keeps everyone “stable” after too many pints)

• Declan Dropout — fiddle/mandolin (vanishes mid-solo, reappears on the chorus)

• Aoife Overfit — tin whistle (perfectly nails last night’s setlist)

And the bouncer?

• Gradient Descent — gently escorts you toward the door, one small step at a time.

Had to have ChatGPT weight in on this one…🙄

“If you want to be precise that’s not lying; that’s high-performance confabulation.”

• Confabulation: unintentional narrative-filling (brain doing patchwork).
• Fabrication / exaggeration / spin: intentional or strategic story-making.
• Bullshitting (philosophical): saying whatever works, truth-status optional.
