should RFK Jr be able to abandon his numerous conspiracy theories about vaccines, he can be the most transformative health secretary in our country’s history

this is exactly the sort of shit centrists were writing about trump in 2016. I guess they can’t get away with doing that now so they’re just writing the same pieces but about his underlings

LLMs sometimes struggle to give legal moves. In these experiments, I try 10 times and if there’s still no legal move, I just pick one at random.

uhh

mine:

prediction 1: he dies halfway through. funniest way would be another pandemic gets him

prediction 2: he doesn’t die. it will be exactly the same as the first admin but infinitely worse. everyone will hate and backstab each other, they will constantly get fired and rehired and fired like reality tv, there will be a constant dribble of horrible things happening, then in four years there’s a coup attempt

prediction 3: elon doesn’t last a year, possibly doesn’t even make it six months

predictions for the trump admin?

automated grooming is just what progress is and you have to accept it. like the printing press

why do neurotypical people love to do this. why can’t you say sam harris sucks in a normal way

love when a search engine has a random guy who knows nothing message me some bullshit he made up about a search. of course, you have to double check the bullshit. but it’s a great feature

this is one of the wildest articles I’ve ever read

yah there we go. gauss-jordan to reduce to rref

on a side note, I notice this passage in the review:

Wolfram refers incessantly to his “discovery” that simple rules can produce complex results. Now, the word “discovery” here is legitimate, but only in a special sense. When I took pre-calculus in high school, I came up with a method for solving systems of linear equations, independent of my textbook and my teacher: I discovered it. My teacher, more patient than I would be with adolescent arrogance, gently informed me that it was a standard technique, in any book on linear algebra, called “reduction to Jordan normal form”, after the man who discovered it in the 1800s. Wolfram discovered simple rules producing complexity in just the same way that I discovered Jordan normal form.

this is certainly mistaken. I think the author or teacher must have meant RREF or something to that effect, not Jordan normal form

that’s quite appealing to me ngl

for every one of me that shit my pants the AGI is simulating ten million of me that didn’t, so on average i’m doing pretty ok
