Are social services being cut? No. Cost of higher ed is rising due to rents in big cities (see above), the higher ed is universal. No jobs? C’mon: stat.gov.pl/en/topics/la...

Is it enough to change the demographics? Not at all. Do “pro-life” nonsense is doing harm? Of course. Do we have, similar to other EU countries, problems with affordable housing (in big cities)? Yes we do. Was it made worse due to stupid policies? Yes.

This framing is not very accurate and simplifies the reality too much. It’s not fifty bucks. It’s $220 per child, on top of back to school packages and programs to support big (3+ families). It is big help for a lot of families. Lack of such programs got us far fright government here.

The best example of a solution looking for a problem. “Let’s brain storm which data sets we own can be abused by LLM to get *something*”

It’s the foreign diplomacy equivalent of a man’s dire mid-life crisis: “You have no idea what I have sacrificed for you, so you should say thank you and apologize!” Later, he buys a big/fast car and yells at everyone around that they are stupid and should have just listened to his ideas.

LOL. So true. Reminds me of so many “let’s do this as an infographics” briefs.

Well, that will make a lot of people reconsider visiting US.

Heard that with mobile phones and social networks. Guess what, it did not prepare kids to be mindful about usage, nor kids became power users of technology. AI is not a technology that enables kids to experiment, use their body, create social bonds, learn new skills.

I am too always boggled when I hear complains “why no garbage bins” when I pass people on a mountain trail, in a national park, kilometers into the wild. Even in the cities. My soul hurts when I see all the garbage throun into the bushes and ditches. Who does that? “Own your garbage.” Yes we must!

Bypassing the end-to-end encryption seems like a lawful and substantiated way of policing criminals, but in fact opens a back doors for more villains to break lives of lawful and good people. Every exception to human-right will eventually enable more harm and suffering from many.

The thing with human rights is that they are universal for all people. This includes villains and bad actors. End-to-end encryption, rule of law, free speech, right to repair, and more can be used in bad faith. Institutions exist to help societies support lawful and good faith use of the rights.

I am sure AI folks will look for ways to counter the above. At the same time, investors, individuals, societies, and governments should acknowledge that the answer already exists: protect human creation and disincentivise synthetic data. 5/6 [Citation in 6/6]

Homogenization can at least be considered productive (“[…] The incentive for cherry picking ⎯ the tendency of users to favor data quality over diversity […]”), but effectively, it becomes nothing more than reaffirmation of the loudest voice. Not good even as a search engine. 4/6 [Citation in 6/6]

100

Each mode in itself lacks creativity. (Decomposition as a part of the process serves a purpose of reconfiguration, while homogenization can induce creativity as an outside factor.) 3/6 [Citation in 6/6]

100

Synthetic data is both a child & a nemesis of current LLMs. Nowadays, we're headed into a world where “AI” generates more-&-more data, promising greater creativity. However, the long-term nature of the creation is a choice between total decomposition & complete homogenization. 2/6 [Citation in 6/6]

AI autophagy: “[…] data quality is preserved over a greater number of model iterations, but this comes at the expense of an even steeper decline in diversity. […] With each iteration, the dataset becomes increasingly homogeneous.” — Clark in Rice News 1/6 [Citation in 6/6]

If you want to be data-driven, you really need to be good at understanding data (as a tool and field of knowledge) and the data (a particular set of numbers or observations you use to form opinions and judgments). When you do not understand either of these, you are just a fraud with a spreadsheet.

Switch that in favor of tldraw to allow sketch notes. Or even better: integrate tldraw’s diagraming/drawing capabilities with canvases. :-)

Let’s say a person U is in dispute with person R. And than walks person T, who really wants U and R to get along. R doesn’t care about the deal. What will happen? Well, T will offer a deal unacceptable for U (rightly so), and R will blame U. T will second that due to hurt feelings. 🤦‍♂️

I visited LinkedIn today and scrolled a bit through a feed. It's a good time to take notes of who lacks in logic and happily crawls out of shadow with stupid claims against “ideologies” while clearly pushing thier own. “Fav” so far: comparing climate civil protests to illegal power grab of the gov.

Watching my kid hold doors for others when he enters school, like he plays Constable Benton Fraser from “Due South”, is the most warming and inspiring thing to start a day. Also, he must be late for his class sometimes, but whatever.

10. Races are great as you get all the route for your effort (no cars, lights, dogs).

000

9. There is no such thing as running slow! Every pace is great and has it’s purpose.

100

8. Above certain age, first kilometer is more tiring than the next whatever.

100

7. For trail runs apps like Strava (with heatmap view) or Komoot are great way to go off the beaten tracks and crowds. This will uncover the hidden gems of a place you live or you visit.

100

6. As with biking, cold is not that bad, as your body will generate a ton on heat during activity and you can dress according to your thermal comfort. Watch out for wind. In the summer, the heat is the worst.

100

5. Mixing terrain is super fun. Shoes make a difference on trail. In general shoes are important, but doesn’t have to be super expensive.

100

4. Winter is a great time to start. Frozen ground is more comfortable than mud.

100

3. YouTube and internet is full of old running advice and unsubstantiated claims. Do your research, look for people citing medical papers.

100

2. Do not cold start. Walking is a great build up activity. In previous years I biked a lot and walked ~5 km per day in months before my running journey started in November 2023.

1. The best advice for novice runners is avoiding the mistake of running “too fast, too far, too soon”.
