NYC is kind of activetransitmogging all the other US cities.... it's kind of embarrassing :/ data.bikeleague.org/data/cities-...
chart of percent of commuters by model: public transit, biking, or walking.... NYC is at like 60% and towers over all the other pathetic cities like a colossus

if we could get the chicago bike commuter share up from ~0.9% of people to ~2.5%, chicago would have the most bike commuters of any US city, i think 🤔🚲
plot showing the number of bike commuters over time for the ~10 top cities in the US....... NYC is #1 by far in numbers, with chicago a distant second, and a cluster of other cities beneath chicago

it seems like in the last month i've been noticing smells a lot more...... maybe my sense of smell somehow improved.... maybe i lost some sense of smell when i got covid in like 2022 without knowing and then it took 4 years to come back 🤔

this is a Voight-Kampff test question 🧐
wikipedia screenshot from page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model#Adversarial_evaluations:

The resulting problems are trivial for humans but defeated LLMs. Sample questions:

We see a fitness center sign. We then see a man talking to the camera and sitting and laying on a exercise ball. The man...

1. demonstrates how to increase efficient exercise work by running up and down balls.
2. moves all his arms and legs and builds up a lot of muscle.
3. then plays the ball and we see a graphics and hedge trimming demonstration.
4. performs sit ups while on the ball and talking.[126]

BERT selects 2 as the most likely completion, though the correct answer is 4.[126]

on wikipedia i found out that this one mcdonalds location used to have to bunch of rock and roll shit on it... wesley's song says you could listen to music there, so maybe they played rock and roll music inside it, idk.... 🤷‍♀️ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonal...
fuckin 90s ass red-roofed mcdonalds with elvis presley's face and james dean on it (not a musician, sure whatever)

today the building is just made of glass and stuff and looks like a public library in a fancy suburb

"While preparing this work, we used OpenAI’s Codex, GPT-4o, o3 and ChatGPT 5 to assist with coding, as well as perform spell/grammar check, word selection, and rephrasing in paper writing." They couldn't even write their own paper???

If LLMs don't work this way, if they get worse with the more information they have, then it is a terrible approach for creating a machine with "intelligence".

jean 🐀🐀🐀 @punx.us · 28/09/2026
My reaction is like....... This is the *opposite* of how human intelligence/reasoning works. The more "context" a person has (knowledge, experiences, frameworks, etc), the better they get at doing things, understanding things. A mind is able to integrate everything its seen before.

jean 🐀🐀🐀 @punx.us · 28/09/2026
[warning: thots on LLMs to follow] I heard from someone that LLMs can get *worse* at tasks as the amount of context given to it increases, and it looks like there is some evidence to support this. ["Context Length Alone Hurts LLM Performance....": arxiv.org/abs/2510.053...

As I withdrew into myself, I started to conceive of these generative models as the captured voices of a million different white guys, amplified into a singular demonic force..... 😰😰😰

jean 🐀🐀🐀 @punx.us · 24/09/2026
I was forced to listen to ~3 minutes of Generative Voiceover in a video at work..... The first thing that struck me is that the voice sounds like a white guy sportscaster. (Why are you forcing me to listen to this?)

I had a cold shower this morning.... It wasn't that bad actually. I think because it was probably like 60F water from inside the tank in the basement instead of colder water from the ground pipes (?).... If it was winter the water would probably be way colder.

OK, gas has been turned back on, and hot water restored. Oven and furnace should be hooked back up 2morro 🙏

i had a dream where i i had been staying at a hotel with my cat for a while and it was time to go home. two people from the hotel (like a receptionist and concierge) helped me pack up and actually flew on the airplane with me to my parents' house (lol).

Using she/her doesn't really let you forgot that we are doing weird gender stuff in the language we use. (There is a streamer Will Jinkies who still always say "Girls, ..." in the way other streamers will say "Chat, ...", which is adorable. And why not just call any unknown group of people Girls?)

It's very Judith Shakespeare or "herstory"..... But it's also kind of cute. :) Today most people are on board with using singular they/them now, but maybe using the neuter is basically the same as using he/him because people already equate neuter=masculine in their minds.

I was reading a PDF of a TTRPG book from 2010 (lol) and I saw the author was using she/her in the text to refer to any hypothetical person... I forgot that in the early days of woke people were doing this in a pointed way, to push back against the way old style guides would use he/him in for this
