Father of one, still climbing telecoms towers when I can. I used to want to be a philosopher, or a rockstar, or a photographer. Games and anime are fun

Amusing how 99% of people using LLMs forget how these things work:
They are advanced probability machines. They generate the next most likely token (word) based in the input and their training.
Under the hood, it’s a giant matrix multiplication that has eerily good output.

An actually decent NYT piece about Japanese culture! I personally wasn't aware of the Japan connections behind "The Hungry Caterpillar."
I missed this charming story from last month on how Japanese and British artists independently came up with the idea for illustrated picture books for kids, and how their influence entwined to shape the contemporary works of people like Eric Carle. (Gift link)
The American Picture Book’s Unsung Parent: Japan (Gift Article)
Missing for decades from the Anglophile version of its origin story was another great visual narrative tradition, of the East.

How should we live?
No best way? But we should work together? Perhaps it varies.. seems like there should be a best way though.. doesn't it? Perhaps we can build it up from basics, oh noe. Maybe history.. oh. god. no. Geneti.. nope. Biology - nope.. *thinks* um, as you were

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
