Tyrese Haliburton is really good, and I can see how what I am about to write could read as critical, but there are some subtle but noticeable Jar-Jar Binks Notes to his style that make him extra interesting to watch. He's about as silly-seeming as a player this good can be.

People have been deported from the US on the grounds of evidence far more circumstantial than that supporting the hypothesis: JD Vance killed Pope Francis.

Neural networks don't have "representations"

They have embeddings, or meaningful patterns of neuron activation

They're meaningful in the sense of enabling us to do certain things

Differences that make a difference (to us)

They don't copy, reflect, or re-present the world

The one thing I’ve been missing on this site is someone to explain how the things the trump administration is doing are bad, and, ideally, to make clear that they’ve been warning me about this for a long time, but I haven’t listened

Panhandle measles outbreak keeps a growin'. Official count (as of March 11) is 255 cases across 3 states. Oklahoma...welcome to the party. Like I said in the YLE yesterday, I think this is a gross estimation of the true size. Nonetheless, if you're fully vaccinated, you're very well protected.

apple iphone has a new a.i. thing that summarizes text messages. yesterday, a patient i'm with checks his phone for a text from his sister who has cancer. a.i. summary just says "the tumor is much bigger than we thought." he goes white. full text says "but hasn't spread to lymph nodes." 🤦

For today’s entrepreneurs, work isn’t merely a way to get things done; it’s also a “superpower” that confers the right to impose their vision on the world.

it is super-funny when a history of philosophy text characterizes 20th century phenomenology as a backlash over-conceptualization of human experience. wut?
