Or, in the Homerian fashion, 'It's Funny Coz It's True', really not in some cases, but laughter may help some people cope. Agreed. I also hate prattfall comedy for similar reasons, empathy, self-reflection, rational fear, those things...

Thanks, got a new term today.

You're no fun, orange turnip was merely an example of a bad actor getting control (going Reagan would be confusingly amusing) and it's not about anyone in particular, more so the entire worlds' dirty laundry out to dry

Open Source AI Definition Erodes the Meaning of “Open Source” in c/[email protected]

Yup, call the virtue signalling bitches out, open weights is fine, which is not to say I don't appreciate local LLMs being given out, even if it's just for the free research on their models, but open source it is not.

Well, anything over a non-continuous x for example off the top of my head (and, yes for well-defined forms you can do the integral), still I have no idea what the cartoonist is on about and haven't heard 'anti-derivative' for a donkey's age, guess it's poorly defined grade school stuff.

And everyone thinks about real time implications, what about historical ? Seems pretty likely that the NSA has been storing an appreciable fraction of the internet for a long damn while. Come Q-Day that all gets opened and searchable. What would Trump do ?

How to know if you're asking the wrong question ? (slrpnk.net)

What's that principle where you don't know you're asking the wrong question because you've got this idea in your head on how to do something, so you search frustratingly. If you could step up a level and find the right question, you'd find a well established, efficient solution.

Related to unknown unknowns I guess, but I came across a phrase or word encapsulating it, and now I can't remember or (ironically) find it.

ETA: It's the XY Problem, thanks [email protected].

Blood pressure watches anyone? (www.caltech.edu)
 

Seems very interesting, pr burble aside. Wonder how close this is to a micro-sonogram if generalised ? Star Trek medical tricorder component material by my reckoning.

Best VPN exit node country in SE Asia ? (slrpnk.net)
 

Wanting to torrent in a country other than my own, I've been exiting via Singapore as it has the most direct path I believe. Any reason not to ? Any superior choices for whatever reason ? Couldn't find this discussed anywhere. TIA.

Private Facebook Marketplace ? (slrpnk.net)

I'm one of those oddballs who's never joined, but I'm in the market for a new to me bike, and it seems like all the action is on marketplace. Am I screwed, or is there an effective workaround ?

Edit: Not US. There are local alternatives that I know about, but they are worse, please answer question as asked ! Basically I'm thinking of alternative software ala FreeTube, or a way of spoofing facebook to make a dummy account only to be used for this and if so what precautions to take...

Psychological truths like Skinner vs Pavlov Conditioning (slrpnk.net)
 

Something I find fascinating is that being consistent (and trustworthy) is less effective than being 80/20% consistent (classical vs operant conditioning) at training dogs where there are contextual/environmental cues at play. It's personally counter-intuitive, but I've seen it work and am convinced (I attribute it to evolutionary mechanisms, my goto in biology).

I'm wondering what other psychology as a science results have solid statistics behind them that I'm unaware of (I'm compsci with a physics/maths background, so it's probably most), and are interesting...

The voice in your head may help you recall and process words. But what if you don’t have one? (theconversation.com)
 

How does this play for you ? I identify as spectrum, what used to be Asperger's, and have to work really hard to get to visual phantasia, but I can. Also worked hard to remove aural phantasia? via meditation because of negative self talk. Do you see 'aphant' as a useful designation? Thoughts, Ideas?

Richard Marles concealed war crimes report, denying justice for David McBride (michaelwest.com.au)
 

A report critical of Australian generals’ leadership in Afghanistan was given to the Defence Minister Richard Marles in November 2023, but was not published until after the McBride sentencing. Stuart McCarthy on a travesty of justice.
