Cosmovore
YouTube video by Ulthar - Topic

I should start posting songs from whichever band I'm wearing a shirt of, so here's Ulthar's Cosmovore, Lovecraftian blackened death metal from VA. Chaotic but with good riffs that aren't just mindless technicality that death metal can kind of fall into.
These French model names are getting out of hand
Breaking: we release a fully synthetic generalist dataset for pretraining, SYNTH and two new SOTA reasoning models exclusively trained on it. Despite having seen only 200 billion tokens, Baguettotron is currently best-in-class in its size range. pleias.fr/blog/blogsyn...

it feels like the most neurotic people seized on the climate/environmental movement and casted it as apocalyptic for personal meaning making even as boring solutions like solar and electrification were not just feasible but more cost effective. and that's happening again with AI safety.

The Internet is evil, the people who use it are evil, it is not inevitable, and there is no such thing and can be no such thing as "ethical" Internet.
It is a technology that should not exist but, since it does, should not be used. People who DO use it should be shunned.

My wife is organizing a fundraising auction via our PTO that helps support classrooms and the wider community (doing food drives, getting grocery gift cards to students in need, etc.) and apparently the Red Sox are donating (among other things) a signed photo of Alex Cora.

In a sense yes, but does network science help us understand the brain as a complex system? Intriguing paper.
If anything the paper has 800+ refs!

This is always hard to explain to engineers, especially those not in startups, where good tech debt is crucial to survival.
most engineers probably don’t understand the extent to which “tech debt” works as an abstraction
there’s absolutely “good tech debt”, and it’s not always obvious which you’re dealing with
if you’re green fielding an app, you should expect to launch with some amount of tech debt

No health care, no deal.

No health care, no deal.
I know Senator Warren would be good on this, but I still emailed her. Keep the pressure up.
I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

5g is far from heroic, but this still reads like he did maybe 2.
Over on X, the weird life extension guy just did a heroic dose of magic mushrooms (5g), and someone is live tweeting it for him.
Clearly someone misguided him along the way, though, because he seems to be under the impression he’s peaked after just one hour.
Bad news for you, buddy…

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

My favorite redditors telling on themselves theme is people in r/Boston saying there's no music scene in Boston.
You just don't know anyone in the scene and don't go to shows, that doesn't mean none exists.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

it’s cool how San Francisco’s reactionary leftists are lying about my career to try and make Zohran look bad, all because they’re mad at him for actually supporting building housing
SF’s NIMBY “leftists” are:
1. literally just conservatives
2. the biggest losers on earth
3. allergic to power

So the oldest person ever to become president keeps falling asleep in his office during public events and there’s no big public discussion on how this is a coverup or how republicans are lying to us about how this government is running?

This is kind of funny because the godfathers of AI were largely neuroscientists, and a lot of the frontier work is coming from neuroscientists, not computer scientists.
It’s funnier if you reject the notion that mammalian biology is the sole house of intelligence.

As a neuroscientist, I’d suggest there is a profound disconnect between what *some* computer scientists think is representative of “intelligence”, cognitive ability, or descriptions of consciousness from some in AI work.
LLMs are not how neural systems process information, nor how brains function.
