My workstation can generate about 2 images per minute locally. I could set up a Python script to ad lib prompts for images and post them, uncensored stable diffusion forks, using word lists. If people would be interested in paying $1 bitcoin to submit words, I'd let this image generation->post run.

If your goal is to succeed at the expense of others you'll only spend your life/resources trying to protect yourself from the world. If you spend your life and resources uplifting the world around you then you'll spend your life politely refusing the goodwill and abundance around you. Economics.

I don't advocate for men to the exclusion of women just like I don't advocate for women to the exclusion of men. My priority is humanity, there is no humanity with only one sex by definition. But they do suffer different trials and both need attention and concern if we want healthy societies.

For all the hubbub about the UFO "disclosure" (teaching new words to illiterate conspiracy theorists to invent new definitions), it's amazing to me they're convinced aliens are covered up when a convicted sex predator is POTUS and concealing the largest known pedo sex trafficking ring. #justsaying

When I grew up every adult man I knew had a weird hobby that made them seem like masters. Train sets, crafting, cards, fine liqueur or cigar epicurean types, mountain climbing, languages, instruments, and other etc. I'm now middle aged, born sandwiched between lame gamers and exceptional polymaths.

Might be too early but I always love to play a game calling a moonshot stock pick or two every year. This is a really playful one: straddle option on oracle OR selling covered calls. Haven't quite decided fully yet but that's where I'm leaning for start of 2027.

A carbon copy is a smudged impact impression of an original expression. Don't even try to appear to be something you're not, nobody has ever mistaken a carbon copy for an original.

#devlog - this forex algo is wild, huge profits then huge losses, and then a break-even day of just hedged positions both ways. I just realized from this experiment that my evaluation stage would most reward hedged positions that offset, due to my reward function. My algo is chasing break-even lol

Just taking a moment to shout out #ADHD folk out there who dealt with a lifetime of character assassination both public and private; never regarded worth treating except for symptom presentation affecting them. That's usually the extent they cared about us - how they were affected by our suffering.

It is impossible to be pessimistic about the future of humanity if we remember the great value we got from NASA and the Linux foundation alone, economically speaking. Those benefits have never been significant line item expenses of the financial statements, yet the benefits transcended generations.

It doesn't even make sense to suggest banning computers from computing. Consider the largest capital exp in history has gone specifically to AI, they can't just stop using the half trillion dollars of chips they borrowed to buy from Nvidia when Nvidia alone kept the entire index out of recession.

#devlog algorithmic forex trader is up for 24hrs so way too early to get excited but it's already looking promising. Risk thresholds and entry points are sensible near support and resistence levels too, so definitely better than random.

In the modern day there is no excuse for nuclear power NIMBY-ism. Passive safety comes from engineering them into the power plant by design. It is a choice to have a nuclear runaway disaster and that's why it's the safest, most reliable, cleanest, power source on Earth. youtu.be/pXypQ6d_iDg?...

#devlog finished the new stage 2 migration to the inference repo. Built a new simulation engine for the inference repo side of things today and outcomes are promising. Worst case is still shy of targeted 20% without tuning regression_threshold, just the moonshot derived values used at half-margin.

#boycottMorocco #potash Genocide is genocide. Annexation and occupation are not acceptable terms for invasion. They're illegal, immoral, and deeply unethical. It shouldn't be hard to give all people the same human rights. It should be simpler to live in a world with a basic human rights standard.

You can't measure the accuracy or chance of something until at least one unlikely event is measured. That means it has to occur in order to guess how unlikely it is. So it does happen, and always happens at least once. It's math.

Stealthing is rape. Sleeping with a minor is rape. Drugging someone and having intercourse is rape. Coercing someone into bed is rape. Your wife or girlfriend does not “owe” you sex. If there’s no consent, it’s rape.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

"Pope" is not a religious title, it is a political title invented by a sect of religion. We need to stop reporting on it in the news as a religious figure, and religious people need to stop treating the church as a political force. Both instinsically contradict their own doctrines by mention.

In light of high fuel costs potentially influencing the upcoming mid-terms, gov't finally realizes they're net exporters and may restrict exports to lower prices for voters. I bet it'll backfire this close to elections. Big Oil will stockpile instead of sell for cheap, anticipating policy reversal.

A wealth tax isn't harsh. If society is so imbalanced that you're affected by a one time wealth tax then your cigar humidor is probably the equivalent rent of 100,000 other people living next to you. So yeah, it was never yours you just took everyone else's labour. That's what the tax corrects.

#devlog update: So I decided stage 2 of my forex model pipeline ought to remain binary logloss instead of lgbm so its locked down without a no_trade penalty or aggressive regression tuning stage 3 to compensate. Instead we focus on longer OOF folds in prior stages to steer outcomes progressively.

Trump compliments authoritarian dictator Xi Jinping by saying he's 6'2"... Trump claims himself to be 6'3", but standing next to Chinese president Xi its clear who's taller. So not only is potus so superficial he believes height is part of character, he lies about his own and diminishes the other.
