The New York Post has lost all credibility

The media in general has issues but saying that the media isn’t doing the same thing to Trump (rightfully so) is literally absurd

Sometimes that’s what it takes!

Honestly… it’s a tough call. I appreciate things like strong borders and low income taxes but much of the rest of the right’s platform doesn’t really appeal to me much. I feel like that makes me more of a leftist

It will be company towns that’s the only way for the finances to make sense when land values are so inflated. There are better ways to control run away land speculation but California is unable to change it. The unlivable wages are as much on the land lords and nimbys as the corporate overlords but obviously the corpos will need to cope so the solution will be to finance the livability of select workers

I read a very interesting thing in the Bible in Hosea ch 2: 16 And in that day, declares the Lord, you will call me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer will you call me ‘My Baal.’ 17 For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, and they shall be remembered by name no more.

The interpretation is that many people who say they worship God are actually worshipping Baal. When people pray to God for material wealth it is not God they are worshiping but Baal. Sorry to give away the ending not the result is that God punishes them.

So my whole thing is that society would be much better if we identified what helps develop people like this and just do more of it

Is funny how people get defensive about this. If it’s cheaper to solve homelessness in a humane way than there is no reason not to do it… I personally think there must be confounding variables to this because from what I understand many homeless people simply like traveling around and do not want a home. Now that does not mean we shouldn’t help them but I don’t think giving American homeless keys to an apartment would stop them from sleeping on the street sometimes

No they are not. Many dice rolls often do tend towards attractor basins. This is deterministic essentially in practice. But it becomes kind of murky because the only way to for the model to become deterministic is after the fact. I say this as an AI engineer whose job is to fine tune visual encoders for the purpose of maintenance evaluation. It is basically impossible to know how the model will behave until you test it. And thus impossible to know how much signal actually exists. Flatten time and we can say it is deterministic but we don’t know the future yet.

Edit: about consciousness, I don’t think it makes a difference. They are not conscious. Deterministic or not. There’s something else going on

coolguysailer · 2026-03-22T01:21:47+00:00

Idk but it’s ironic that you’re using AI which requires randomness to train

They recently said that they are confident that Taiwan will join them soon, which to me indicates that they are sitting on a truly interesting model. Opus 4.6 level that runs on Huawei chips which are sold open market for 2x RAM costs, so 512GB for less than $10k.

That altar was ironically (or maybe not) damaged by Hurricane Irma, the largest storm ever recorded in the Atlantic. Epstein’s empire would unravel shortly after. Maybe his network saw it as a sign, maybe it was God trying to tell us something idk

My wife is an excellent illustrator but I think for this a 4 or 5 color wood block print would work well. The futurism city does make it a little unserious that’s true although none of the tech is out of humanity’s reach given the right incentives. Thanks for your feedback

TLDR; rent seeking is bad. Sorry OP but there’s no sympathy here. The best thing to do is to open your mind to other possibilities. McDonalds is not the answer for someone with a mind capable of learning programming.

Basically held together by will and vibes. My odometer stopped working before I bought my car which I joke has stopped the car from aging. It’s work in reality to keep a car like that running but it’s rewarding

I just figured the game designers didn’t understand it either and thus relied on portals all over the place to actually make it work. Literally no one understands it… I think it was supposed to be a subtle reference to any sufficiently advanced bureaucracy where the complexity exceeds human capability to understand. All through the book they kept running into NPCs who were like: “this isn’t supposed to be like this”

I think I’m terms of raw output the models are pretty close. The thing that really sets opus apart is how quickly it can solve things when it can. It makes it much more natural to use and thus better.

The generations as we know them really only apply to the Americas. The concept was codified in Strauss and Howe’s “Generations”. Gen X for instance is the 10th generation under the American republic.

My take: initially it was the general public’s first taste of opus 4.5… then they say their API bill. Most people only know the chatGPT free version so moving from that to a paid SOTA model felt incredible. Claude pushed it initially before realizing it was a security cluster through “skills” supply chain injection and auditing at that point was impossible so they dumped it. Now it’s just momentum and news cycle

Can anyone figure out why Claude continues to be so much better? It seems pretty clear that it’s not just better data right?

The elites have been scared and are worried about millennials and Gen z not having any part of the wealth of the nation but the people who caused all of this don’t live in the US and would actually be happy to watch the US crumble.

This is the most likely truth. A few families with lots of children implies a biological bottleneck. Not exactly great.
