jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Where's @zachweinersmith.bsky.social on this issue? 020
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I usually agree and think you're reasonable. 000
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 22/08/2026The US spends 17.2% of GDP on healthcare to get 79 years life expectancy, Canada spends 11.2 to get 83.4. And you can change jobs. Tax is just more efficient than insurance. 020
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Never leaving the Leader was Martin Bormann's job 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Also, never mind the microaggressions, we're going macro 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The reference work on social media addiction is Stromae "Carmen", youtu.be/UKftOH54iNU?...youtu.beStromae - carmen (Official Video)YouTube video by StromaeVEVO 020
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 12/08/2026David Stockman, "$200B deficits as far as the eye can see". I don't think he meant fortnightly 030
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Very pointy. Have to zero out vigil to attain 1D perfection. 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 07/08/2026The main theme is "run for the ships!" 000
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 04/08/2026I think she's saying "I live for pile-ons"? 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Same. I read this curve as saying Sol is wrong in 90% of answers. Which isn't my experience 000
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Great thread: informative, reasoned, and broad. Everyone quit complaining about bsky. 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 30/07/2026That article was clearly written by Claude. 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 28/07/2026Polar's first heartrate monitor was for horses. Trainers pay well for the data, and weight and size aren't problems. One of my fave tech marketing strategy stories 0181
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Dijkstra said it causes permanent brain damage. Can confirm. OTOH f77 converted it to C, so recursion worked. Evil chimera. 000
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 27/07/2026The US certainly tracks Russian satellites, and their military certainly looks for the patterns Zelensky describes. So the US knows, and Zelensky knows they know, and so on. So what he's doing by going public is applying pressure 000
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 24/07/2026And to answer my own question: choose n as a lotta 9s. 3**k of them. The digit sum is a power of 3, and n+1 is 10000..., factors only 2&5. So you have to create infinitely many counterexamples 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 24/07/2026"For every integer n beyond some bound"? How can there be a counterexample? I say digsum(3) has no factor in common with 4 and you just say the bound is bigger. 110
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 23/07/2026And it's interesting that Spain, with recent memory of Franco, is progressive 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 22/07/2026There was an entertaining self-published short story "The man who died of his opinions" based on the 10% nonsense, and the idea that opinions can fill you up faster than facts. The guy filled the other 90% with Archie Bunker opinions, and then started eating into motor skills &c. Paralysis & death. 020
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Good thread: it marked 5 more jackasses for blocks. 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 21/07/2026The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread 000
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 16/07/2026Moral rights remain with the author, at least in Canada, and should. Putting a silly hat on someone's creation puts you level with a shopping mall putting ribbons on Michael Snow's geese. There is no jus abutendi. Respect art. 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 08/07/2026The "arbiter elegans" job comes with very poor severance terms. 020
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 04/07/2026The article mumbles about backdoors. For memory chips , that's just dumb 000
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 28/06/2026DRAM is famously cyclical, see e.g. "only the paranoid survive". Predator/prey dynamics is a pretty good model. AI has us in a hot phase, with Micron posting 85% margins, but everybody building capacity. AI dynamics just affect timing 100
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 28/06/2026And England in particular has already had one F35 jockey raping the locals. And Canada had Russell Williams, rape-murderer, as their big salesman. Is there something about this *particular* plane that attracts scum? 000
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Disagree strongly. Crewed aircraft are dead: expensive, heavy, not manoeuvrable. Stealth tech is bandlimited and vulnerable. Drone+AI is higher tech. Attritable >> exquisite 000
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Epoch.ai puts it at 3 monthsepoch.aiEpoch AIEpoch AI is a research institute investigating key trends and questions that will shape the trajectory and governance of Artificial Intelligence. 110
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 23/06/2026I used to give cheat-sheet exams with an explanation that preparing the cheat sheet was the best way to figure out what the course really taught. About half understood. It's like the Ike line "plans are useless, but planning is everything". 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 18/06/2026And ranked choice fixed the vote-split problem 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 16/06/2026Yup, trying out Kimi 2.7 now 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 14/06/2026They are having trouble getting enough compute to serve demand, and Mythos is probably pretty heavy. I'm guessing ops is a perpetual panic, trying to get capacity online. So having USG to blame is A-ok. Now they have to knobble the others 000
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 14/06/2026SpaceX has vacuumed up all the dumb AI money, plus the pump-and-dump funds. Anthropic is stuck with the smart money, maybe? How much of that is there? 130

jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 12/06/2026Is there some kind of club for us unsafes? Not very exclusive, I guess, but presumably people doing interesting things. 000

jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Religions are mostly about hats and weird haircuts, ways of coping with male pattern baldness. Women just can't feel the importance. 000
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 07/06/2026"War is a Racket" is a disorganized classic, pretty much stream of consciousness from Smedley Butler - who declined to overthrow FDR, but did hit the Phillipines, Mexico, and built banana republics. 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 07/06/2026They're in TSMC 6nm, and I believe they change all masks; so the down payment will be around $10M. 020
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 07/06/2026The Taalas game is to hardcode weights into the mutipliers, to avoid swapping. That's highly specialized. Interesting to guess what the niche might be 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 07/06/2026And all Transformers are pretty much the same for hardware. 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 07/06/2026It's not all that hard to get generality , though. All the activation functions work fine with piecewise polynomial, using the MAC hardware you already have. Untether's Boqueria part did that. You can do pooling, residue, convolutions all just by the reconfiguring the same processing element. 010
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Yes, it's easy to screw up a chip design; and the best way is by overspecializing. Intel paid a bundle for Habana Labs, which decided to have special hardware hardcoding activation functions. And just as they shipped, GeLU hit; not on the list, so every activation had to go back to the server. 110
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Germanicus used to dress his kid up like a soldier, and the troops found it so cute they called him Bootsie. "Caligula" in the original. We all have so much to look forward to. 070
jacknelson-notai.bsky.social @jacknelson-notai.bsky.social · 05/06/2026The thread seems to be that Platner joined up to get the thrill of a legal kill, is casually violent and lies instinctively, and is charming via telling people what they want to hear? Sociopath. 030
