Survival of the stubborn: The little-known histories of Winnipeg’s holdout homes
We all know Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest, often misquoted by stale memes and bad motivational posters and a certain hack reporter - those who last are those who adapt.

You’re here to learn what happened to a man who, in a mad (or desperate) act of courage, tried once and for all to stop running away — perhaps in order to hasten his encounter, so many times postponed, with the truth.

Property taxes work differently from most other taxes.
A % increase in your home's assessed value does not mean the same % increase to your taxes.

i'm making a #QBasic game using mode 13h, 320x200 8bpp. i'm using VGA line doubling to make it 320x100 then horizontally doubling each pixel for 160x100
i use a palette with 3 bits red/green and 2 blue, and "subpixel dither" in between colors. here's a thread of images showing what that's like

Claims of “intelligence” focus on function: if AI behaves “as if” it has a mind, it’s “intelligent.” But behavior is useless when models are designed to pass behavioral tests. Instead, the AGI label achieves the opposite goal: it suggests a human-like experience of being an LLM. ⬇️
The most important question about AI isn't determining whether the machine thinks — it's whether interacting with it displaces the conditions under which we think, writes Eryk Salvaggio. www.techpolicy.press/the-illusion...
The Illusion of AGI, or What Language Models Can Do Without Thought
It is not simple stubbornness that LLMs are not “intelligent,” much less a form of “general” intelligence, writes Eryk Salvaggio.
