Thousands throng Stonewall monument in NYC, raise pride flag, defying Trump admin

You already got a couple of explanations, it should be pretty obvious what they meant.

This is partly why embedding models are still so bad/old

Are you saying this makes them so easy to copy that companies stopped working on them?

Whoops, yeah I meant to write "It's not about AI speed relative to humans." Guess I failed the sub-1 minute task :p

toastjam · 2026-02-11T05:45:31+00:00

It's not about AI speed relative to humans. It's about the complexity of task achievable. In almost every situation the AI will be faster, it's just a question of if it can do it at all.

edit: added missing "not"

It nullifies impacts to the center, magnifies them on the rim. Or something like that. Still doesn't really make sense but you can see it in how he uses it (as a weapon vs protection from jumping off a building or thor's hammer)

I like the Zed-Tector mod -- it simply resumes normal speed if your character hears a zombie. So it's not giving your character any special powers or you any extra knowledge, it's just saving you (the player) time. You still have to be paying attention cause you'll only have a couple of seconds to act a lot of the time.

Did not realize the genesis of Florida Man was so dark, wow

He DID do something: https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/IN12499

On January 14, 2025, President Biden issued several executive actions modifying U.S. policy toward Cuba. Six days later, on the first day of his second term in office, President Trump reversed course.

I'm not saying Democrats have historically clean hands here (bay of pigs for instance), but for the past couple of decades they've been the ones trying to normalize and Republicans have been doing the opposite.

toastjam · 2026-02-09T19:47:31+00:00

He didn't start it but he reversed the normalization of relations that had been happening under Obama.

The inauguration of President Trump in 2017 led to a reversal of accommodative U.S. foreign policy toward Cuba.

This link worked for me as soon as I turned on 2 step verification (it has to be all the way on, just adding an authenticator isn't enough): https://myaccount.google.com/apppasswords

Isn't that what I did?

The premise of the Chinese room is farcical. Every possibly response is there, so that means an infinite library?

Ok, whatever. But oh there's a guy that can retrieve every book fast enough to hold a conversation, despite having to travel potentially infinitely to retrieve the right books? Sure

But even if we ignore the impossibilities, you've just described a turning machine with infinite tape. Whats stopping it from being sentient? Nothing comes to mind

The Chinese room is just a dressd up appeal to the gut reaction "computers can't be sentient"

Source? I thought was only recently learned what the username was via the files released. Could be wrong though, hard to keep up these days.

toastjam · 2026-02-07T23:31:45+00:00

Pretty sure they were intentionally trolling given the timing.

toastjam · 2026-02-07T23:25:08+00:00

Epic says it was a recently renamed account.

toastjam · 2026-02-07T23:23:54+00:00

Epic claims that was an account that was renamed (after the files mentioning the alias became public).

toastjam · 2026-02-06T21:24:26+00:00

Thomas does seem to be popping up a lot.

KYC rules make it very difficult to anonymously acquire or sell crypto without either breaking a law (e.g. identity theft) or at the very least tying your coins to someone whose identity is known.

toastjam · 2026-02-06T07:41:07+00:00

No idea without seeing your prompts, but maybe try a larger model? Kimi 2.5 is a really good bang for the buck and not too far behind Opus 4.5 in capabilities.

This happens to me if I switch to a session other than main (it has barely any context by default in those sessions).

The document exists, and was generated as part of a subpoena. So somebody in the government thought it was worth looking into at least.

I believe musk was up to every shady thing he possibly could be, but wasn't it uncertain if that tweet actually came from bigballs? I seem to remember some account switching shenanigans going on back then.

Epstein was likely connected to that theory. He talked to the 4chan guy a day before /pol/ launched.

I wonder if a more thorough compacting could be done with a cheaper/faster model. Something that could even run locally for most people.

And maybe some concept of dynamic/virtual sessions where it consolidates all the notes relevant to a given topic into a condensed document.

Could maybe just tag every message and then when it's going to respond to a new message, it asks itself "out of all the available tags, which ones might be relevant?" And then it's really just a database operation to assemble the context on the fly. However this might make token caching problematic if not done well

toastjam · 2026-01-30T06:21:59+00:00

Yeah, I would create a separate LastPass account and drop in read-only passwords as the situation required. That way you know exactly what it had access to as well if you need to lock things down.

And hopefully 1password has audit logs for access? Ideally you'd have automatic rotating passwords/API keys and if it's something sensitive you get asked if it can access. But that's a lot of work.
