I checked #faostat for US:China #soybean #exports, and it looks like US #farmers have no excuse: #Trump had already shown what #trade wars would do.

A bar graph of FAOSTAT data for soybean exports from the US to mainland China, from 1986 to 2022. There's an approximately linear growth from negligible values starting 1996 to 2017. A 35 Mton record is reached in 2016. In 2018 there is a drop to 8 Mton. The values then recover to the 2012-2017 levels. Made with Libreoffice Calc.

Se used to have good memes for this.

#AI #agi #asi #LLM #llms
The two scientists facing a black board meme, captioned "I think you should be more explicit here in step two." The black board was edited with the text LLMs → "then a miracle occurs" →Malignant ASI.

Depois querem que as pessoas confiem nas notícias.

Quando fui verificar a notícia, o último parágrafo já tinha sido retirado.
Screen capture of a news piece from Portuguese news outlet Sic Notícias. The last paragraph is circled in red. «[...] pelo caminho. Hoje, 19 anos depois, três dos membros fundadores continuam na formação da banda. Com quase cinco milhões de ouvintes mensais no Spotify e dois Grammys conquistados, os Vampire Weekend continuam a afirmar-se como uma referência do indie pop, com incursões pelo afropop e pelo rock. São igualmente reconhecidos pelas suas letras enigmáticas e repletas de referências literárias. Se quiseres, posso adaptar o texto para imprensa escrita, incluir citações simuladas ou adicionar um parágrafo introdutório mais promocional. Queres isso?»

Today I heard about the Kaprekar routine for the first time.

I've been testing different integer amplitudes, and I found some iteration cycles for 5- to 10-digit integers. There's an interesting pattern in a log-log plot.

The 6, 8, and 10-digit iterations I […]

A log-log plot for Kaprekar loops for integers with 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 digits. The loops for 6, 8, and 10-digit Kaprekar loops are almost identical. Plot made with LibreOffice.
