I'm forever angry that the Alaska Railroad is functionally an expensive tour bus and not a viable alternative to flying or driving between ANC and FAI.

Several hundred folks showed up in Wasilla, AK today to tell Trump he wasn’t welcome. His motorcade had to run the gauntlet of protestors with flags and signs. #NoKings #VoteBlue @maddow.bsky.social

we gotta keep the DSA kids away from certain strains of "lefty" "news" sources. this is important, there are two primary visions of future leftism in America, one is hopeful and will help people and the other one is literally a paid op for a consortium of some of the worst people in the world

One more thing: “Evidence-based” by defn means commoditized and uncreative. To get evidence in neuroscience for ex requires spending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. For an educational topic, getting evidence usu means running a big expensive trial too. Stop fetishizing “evidence-based.”

LLMs predict what can be predicted given their training data. That's fine for some applications but for others the part that can't be predicted is the whole point

The example is terrible but this case is more or less a solved problem. For inverse problems where the forward model is known but lossy, (like colorization), you can apply data fidelity constraints. No guarantee the colors are correct but a B&W > color > B&W round trip would at least be consistent

Shortly after the Trump 2 inauguration I went to an organizer training event. One of the main goals was clearly to get the attendees used to the idea of seeking, holding, and using power. It was clearly necessary too, some of the us had a "power corrupts, better to avoid it" type attitude going in

OTD: April 4, 1865: President Lincoln (accompanied by his son Tad) visited Richmond, Virginia, the Confederate capital that Union troops captured the day before. Liberated slaves hailed him in the burnt out streets. Lincoln went to the White House of the Confederacy which Jefferson Davis had fled.

Leslie’s Illustrated print of President Lincoln entering the White House of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia, April 4, 1865, while cheered by a throng of Richmond residents— many of them formerly enslaved, liberated the day before by occupying Union troops.

IMO it's letting the current hype crash & burn, people actually doing interesting stuff with LLMs continue doing them w/o fanfare, and after things have died down if something actually good deserves mainstreaming you either rebrand it (if it's Too Soon) or go "this isn't your grandma's LLM" (if not)
