More left than Stalin and more liberal than Ghandi, and I have a certificate from Political Compass to prove it.
Funny: why is YouTube recommending Chumbayamba's song "The day the Nazi died" to me now?

Schrödinger's cat paradox is quite simple:
While the box is closed, the cat is alive.
When you open the box, you are dead.

I wonder what would happen if nation A raised blanket import tariffs with exceptions, and nation B responded with export tariffs on exactly those exceptions. Especially if nation C coordinated with other nations.

Are there any credible reports about cats climbing into cardboard boxes before Schrödinger formulated his provocative thought experiment? I don't think so.

I do believe that cats are trying to tell us something profound about quantum physics, but I'm stumped about what it is.

This must be a schoolyard bully's nightmare: all the other kids are meeting at a friend's house and he is not invited.

The truth is, if Zelinsky was a dictator, Trump would have the highest respect for him.

Well, well, well, congratulations to the new Secretary for Roadkill Cuisine!
I'm looking forward to new exciting bear, badger and beaver recipes, and how to treat infectious diseases with whale juice!

I hear that AI is going to save humanity.
Has someone asked DeepSeek-r1 for a strategy to remove Trump from office yet?

For someone who wants to prevent WW3, Trump is threatening quite a lot of countries with invasion. The USA are losing friends fast, and the annexation of Gaza might trigger a new international wave of terror, secretly funded by states who dare not confront the US directly. Mad times.

Hey, do you want to learn a German word?
What about:

Gleichschaltung

The wikipedia article en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleichs...

provides a good explanation and explains the historical background.

Allow me to make a humble proposal from Germany:

Just ban the export of toilet paper and virgin pulp to the US.

Background: fortune.com/2020/05/18/t...

There's only one way to show everyone that Trump and MAGA are full of shit.

The case of the missing toilet paper: How the coronavirus exposed U.S. supply chain flaws
The toilet tissue business is a textbook example of an ultraefficient “lean” industry. But a surge in sales flushed its MO down the drain. Here’s what went wrong.

Europe should offer California EU membership. MAGA is getting worse every day, and if MAGA wins the next election, Californians will not want to subsidize the red states any longer. Regarding civil rights, consumer rights and climate, CA is much closer to the EU. Let's expand the European family!

It's like the snow that gathers beside the road
Over time it turns from its pristine whiteness
That attempts to block the blackness below
To a sludgefest, tire marks and wind and on occasion, ice
Revealing, that nothing can go untouched
And in time, all will be revealed

Am I surprised that LLM-based AIs mastered the art of deception before they they learned to tell truth from hallucinations?

No.
After all LLM are trained with the output of the best minds on the internet.

The worst problem for health insurers is not that they lost one of their own, or the personal tragedy, or that they are concerned about their lives now.
The real catastrophe for them is that suddenly millions of people realize that they each have one problem. And it's not immigrants.
People are calling him The Adjuster.

That is undeniably clever.

Goddammit.

For my first BlueSky post, what better than a book recommendation for Tom Holt's "Nothing but blue skies" ?
Tom Holt is a British fantasy author that takes an absurd and humorous view on classical myths. This book is a riff on Chinese water dragons, the biblical flood and British weather.
