I love how sardonic the output is. > At Philips, our purpose is to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation. We aim to improve 2.5 billion lives per year by 2030, including 400 million in underserved communities. > As a technology company, we – and our brand licensees – innovate for people with one consistent belief: there’s always a way to make life better. output: > We make health gadget…

It would be even funnier if it could reference critical news reporting.

Nice. I want my TV news subtitled with a slightly less flippant version of this. Bonus credit for also catching media training techniques and bad journalism.

Actually, I would probably subscribe for a channel that aggregates other reporting on significant topics and takes it apart for bullshitlessness in the execution.

This is wonderful.

"As part of developing these new models, we have come up with a new safety training approach that harnesses their reasoning capabilities to make them adhere to safety and alignment guidelines. By being able to reason about our safety rules in context, it can apply them more effectively."

Israel's Gaza Shitshow: 26 Dead, Beit Lahiya Residents Told to GTFO

More rubble, more bodies, more bullshit. Israel's playing whack-a-mole with Palestinians, hitting schools because why the fuck not? Meanwhile, they're telling folks in Beit Lahiya to scram, probably to make room for more "totally not settlements, we swear."

Oh, and Israelis are protesting for a Hamas deal. Good luck with that.

TL;DR: People reject new ideas for irrational reasons, not just lack of credentials. Asking "Is that your true rejection?" can help, but be careful not to psychoanalyze.

This time picked up one of PG's essays.... this one ..

TL;DR:

1. Name-calling is weak. 2. Ad hominem attacks are weak. 3. Criticizing tone is weak. 4. Contradiction needs evidence. 5. Counterargument can be convincing. 6. Refutation is strongest, refute the central point. 7. Classifying disagreement helps identify dishonest arguments. 8. Being less mean makes people happier.

Input (copied from eigenvalues and eigenvectors Wikipedia entry): In linear algebra, an eigenvector (/ˈaɪɡən-/ EYE-gən-) or characteristic vector is a vector that has its direction unchanged by a given linear transformation. More precisely, an eigenvector, v, of a linear transformation, T, is scaled by a constant factor, λ, when the linear transformation is applied to it: T v = λ v. It is often important to know these vectors in linear algebra. The corresponding eigenvalue, characteristic value, or characteristic root is the multiplying factor λ.

Output: Eigenvectors are vectors that don't give a damn when a linear transformation tries to mess with them. They just scale up or down like they're at the gym. Mathematicians love these stubborn bastards for some reason.
