How does even a demented person justify this to themselves? It's a waste of time, money, joy, monkeys.

There are a number of PII filters and libraries available on GitHub.

I'm in the middle of a suit against them for harassment received from surveillance employees. Can't say much more than that (active case), but it's extremely common. The methods us…

I see what you're saying, but I don't think this kind of interdisciplinary approach is without value. Siloing can prevent new perspectives.

The convergence is only valid if the distance ladder is accurate. There are a variety of deductive bottlenecks in the distance ladder which could implicate the whole current distan…

Probably some combination of quantizing down from original fp16 weights and changes to the system prompt used for chat. Both can cause degraded quality, the former more than the la…

I attended lectures of his at IU. My impression is that he has some sort of chip on his shoulder. He's been committed to the ideological position that AI is Hard and Won't Happen f…

Exactly. Not waterproof, not variable pressure/temperature tested, not industrial or milspec. This thing sounds like a "COTS" death trap.

So the refugees who put their crypto on a thumbdrive so they could get their money out of ukraine as the infrastructure was bombed out of existence are scum of the earth? There are…

This is partly what AutoGPT does, no?

Regardless they're IPOing, so it's not even about revenue or profit anymore. And it's not even about growth. Public companies are now about growth of growth and are evaluated on th…

I have a completely new install of archcraft with hyprland and I have to say that it's the fastest out-of-the-box productivity experience I've ever had.

Hmmm, I see that Stacks has 2 seed rounds, a series A, and a VC round all separately listed prior to the token fundraising. Good to see you were able to be partly successful at tra…

You reach out to an agency (generally CFTC and/or SEC). An attorney from that agency eventually contacts your attorney. You have a conversation. You hear nothing back, so you reach…

> How many cryptocurrency companies do you know of that could pass an audit? This is, quite simply, zeitgeisty prejudice. Most well-funded cryptocurrency companies have passed audi…

I can't find reference to this, would you mind sharing a link? I'm interested as a potential contributor.

As opposed to your nonlocal corporate BOFH and his MBA masters at Reddit?

That's literally how creating a theory works. You don't "pre-hoc" explanations or there would be no point to scientific inquiry. Do you mean to say he's cherry-picking or displayin…

It is his field. He's a geographer and a biophysicist, not only an ornithologist. Understanding geographic and environment contributions to evolution is explicitly in his wheelhous…

I keep seeing this robot-like criticism of Diamond as "over-simplistic" or "hyperreductionist". But it's just a model? The map is not the territory, and Diamond has never claimed t…

This is called progress. It's not always upward or steady, but it's a process you were once a part of. Probably careers and services wouldn't exist were it not for you.

Definitely already seeing illegal content (in basically any jurisdiction) being advertised. Really interesting look into how much of a moderation and legal service nightmare runnin…
