Hi folks, I had a severe mental health episode last night. I apologize for my posts, I'm sorry you all had to deal with that. I'm going to be stepping away from social media for a while. Those who I'm close to know how to reach me. Cheers 🦊

There are furries in Russia, which is why a toothy EU army capable of destroying the Russian Army in the field and threatening to occupy Moscow is necessary, to allow the furries the opportunity to express themselves and not be kept down by the Putinist regime.

This also is corroborating evidence - as if more were needed - that contra the far-right’s own narrrative, the rise of the far right is not a story of a disaffected former social democratic left turning right, but of the collapse of the center-right and the rise of former nonvoters

The CDU/CSU has never been absent from a federal or state parliament in the Federal Republic of Germany since 1949. This is a massive blow to the party that see itself as the natural governing party of post war Germany.

That's, that's not how crossing an air gap works. Please stop trying to scare people with a scenario involving transmitting a trillion parameter model across an air-gap with a channel that is less than 1 baud. Orders of magnitude less.

Fireside Alpha
@firesidealpha
OpenAI's Noam Brown says air-gapping the computers may not stop a misaligned AI, because two air-gapped machines can still talk by running a CPU hot and reading the temperature change

"But I think the major takeaway from the incident is that people underestimated the AI. And we never want to be in a situation again where we underestimate the AI. It's a weird world, because AI progress is so fast that people are consistently underestimating the AI."

"So to be in a situation where you don't underestimate it again, when it comes to safety and alignment, you have to have a very, very, very high bar."

"You could even go as far as to say, "Well, we should air gap the computers." And I'm not convinced that that would be sufficient."

"There are studies, and this is mostly academic, where you can have two computers next to each other that are air-gapped and they're still able to communicate with each other because they have temperature sensors."

"One of them is able to run their CPU really hot, and then the other one can actually detect the temperature change, and then that actually gives them a mechanism to communicate."

Additional context: - The AfD will not enter government in Meck-Pomm even if it stays on top. An SPD-Linke-Greens coalition is most likely - The CDU is too close to the 5% threshold for comfort. If they fall below 5% the risks for Merz rise - In Berlin: Linke-Greens-SPD or CDU-Greens-SPD likely

Not suprising that the Linke got the most votes among younger voters in Berlin. Yet, the size of their vote share among under-35 year-olds is stunning.

Berlin Hauptbahnhof is genuinely good. It's hard to pull off a cruciform station with easy transferring, but DB manages it, with good sight lines, good UI, etc. Emotionally, though, my favorite train station to depart is South Station, because it means I'm going to no longer be in Boston.

As someone who is sympathetic mainly to ontic structural realism (to the extent I’m sympathetic to realism at all), this + Hempel’s dilemma-type considerations are what make me think physicalism is most plausible as 1. A stance à la van Fraassen 2. Some sort of minimal asymmetric constraint

The whole idea is that you make a synthetic hegemonic currency for settling transactions. Those work like claims on a clearing union. And its got that nice keynes quality where the clearing union can make more liquidity if global shocks happen. we arent reliant on US debt appearing

Btw ive dug a little more into his ideas here. He had this notion in 2019 that USD was increasingly unsuited for a multipolar world. But that just changing the reserve asset doesnt solve any of the adjustment problems. Whatever people use for funding/transactions still creates an unnatural demand
