When you hear a politician talking about saving small farms, just know that they do *not* mean the market gardener selling zucchini and corn at their roadside stand every Saturday. They mean a guy who inherited 500 acres and pays other people to work the land while he goes on hunting trips.

A panel from Phantomarine. Cheth and Cheline look down on the Raven, who stands reverently between them. Cheline looks angry. Cheth looks wide-eyed but more neutral. Other acolytes look on, including the Canary.

The DOJ is intentionally drawing attention to this incident of mail dumping to sow distrust in mail-in voting, suppress votes, & motivate changes to the law to make it harder to vote. If you're amplifying and feeding that frame, even from the other side, you're a pawn in their information operation.

I've spent a lot of years studying a lot of collapses, and the truth of the matter is that they're always mundane: mild climatic shifts that reduce crop yields, a dumbass in power who makes some terrible decisions, neglecting things that obviously matter but the will to fix them can't be summoned.

I had always thought it highly improbable that user data would be used as training data, like Google Drive or Dropbox or OneDrive, because properly labeling and sanitizing literally arbitrary data would be so absurdly impractical, especially given ToS protections. That was cute while it lasted...

“what if the AI doesn’t want to be shut down so it kills all humans?” well, the funny thing is, llms don’t exist between prompts. there is no there there. the model is sent a request, it “starts up” to receive it, processes it, and then it “shuts down” again. every single time.

You know, honestly, more than monetary donations, if somebody worked at a company that had access to a lot of 18 terabyte and larger hard drives and could talk to us, that's where we are really suffering. The internet archive has no special priority in buying hard drives and those things are insane.

Before semiconductor RAM, most computers used magnetic core memory. This is the 32 KB core stack from the computer on Spacelab, the Space Shuttle's experimental laboratory. Let's take a closer look...

The core stack from the Spacelab computer. This is a stack of six rectangular circuit boards, joined by blue connectors on each end. The cores are visible on the top board. The 294,912 cores are way too small to see; there are eight large reddish-brown squares, each holding a region of cores. 18 reddish and greenish stripes are slightly visible, showing regions for the 18 bits of storage.
