Isn't an application a file? 🤔
Reddit Lies@reddit_lies
No lies detected. It's actually insane how smartphones effectively ruined computer literacy for younger Gen Z and Alpha.

Always wanted to try growing mushrooms so finally giving it a try
I had never realized you start from the mycelium, not spores

Here is the real crazy thing... Our peaches in Boulder are also blooming 😲
This is unheard of, they normally bloom in May
Thomas Massie@RepThomasMassie
Good morning America! Peach trees are blooming on our farm in Kentucky. I’ve planted about 14 different varieties here over the years.

Obsession with efficiency 🤣
I am the same, even if being inefficient doesn't matter, it drives me nuts 🤣

When you stream Spotify to Bluetooth speakers or headphones, the audio comes over the network lossily compressed with Vorbis or AAC codecs, is then decoded on your device to 48 Khz raw samples, then the Bluetooth stack lossily re-compresses it with SBC or AAC codecs before sending it over the airwaves to the speakers. I don’t have “golden ears” to pick apart audio quality like I can with, say, missing gamma correction on texture filtering, but that still hurts my system optimization soul. It is likely over-optimization, but It would be cleaner if there were a way to send bluetooth-ready, compressed audio directly.

If your head is spinning from all the studies about problems facing young people, here's a list of 30 of them in one place.

@EtherDais When you get big,. you do whatever you want
No need to justify because no one would dare question you & your successes
The stupid shit is no longer filtered out
3rd Matrix is another great example of this
English
@EtherDais I have a close friend in Hollywood who said one of the most insightful things I've heard that I think probably applies to life in general:
When you're small, you have to justify every action, every take, every scene
The stupid shit is filtered when you can't justify

Memes like this are evidence of serious continuity/narrative malpractice
Star wars was good *despite* Lucas, not because of him. The sooner you understand this, padewans, the sooner you can move on to better things

@seanonolennon It's so absolute nonsense that the current social norms which were absolutely arbitrarily picked about what is considered a planet is something some "scientists" feel so strongly about
And then they expect people to have faith in "The Science"
Just became another sad religion

@iBringBalance If most people don't have that kind of foresight, then messaging that emphasizes short-term pain and regret is exactly the kind of messaging that could push people toward the wrong long-term decision. Glad we agree. 🫡

I've never heard anyone say this. This is disgusting propaganda.
New York Magazine@NYMag
Sooner or later, everyone has to decide whether to give up lazy weekends, disposable income, and overall peace of mind to have a baby instead. For many of those on the fence, one anxiety looms large: What if I make the wrong choice? Parent regret is more common than you might think — the r/regretfulparents sub-Reddit alone gets around 70,000 weekly visitors who anonymously commiserate — though stigma makes it hard to admit in real life. Writer Bindu Bansinath speaks with three moms of young children about why they wish they could go back to their old lives: nymag.visitlink.me/Sv0c_9

@lorilorai Ask a parent of a 1-year-old and you're likely to have a lot of people thinking they regret it
Ask a 70-year-old parent and I think very few will have regrets
English
@lorilorai I think realistically it happens a lot
Having kids is the long game
Sure there are happy moments, but realistically it goes from lots of pain -> less pain over time
Then, of course, when you're old, children are everything
Most people don't have that kinda foresight

So I get these electric vehicle charging reports from @WeaveGrid & @XcelEnergyCO which are completely deceiving
Because extra charges add up to about 73% additional costs, my true cost is closer to $44 vs the advertised $25.63

Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Even that though, is not sufficient to escape the lost woods.

If you think this is interesting and want to understand what is being argued, some context might help.
There are a few ways to get that. There's a substack with some memos on it which are there, if slightly disorderly like a professor's desk might be.
Also, I have just recorded a brief introductory space, as well as a longer (1.5 hrs) dialogue with someone who wanted to hash it out. I think he probably understands antimatter and nuclides better than most now and it didn't take that long to address "what you've been told" vs "what actually matters"...

@bitcloud I'm in the industry, and there's more to it than just a mathematical process
It turns out that language is a pretty darn good compression mechanism for logic, reasoning, and knowledge
If you're going to distill a neural network to "mathematical process", then our brains are too
English
Hi. So this whole debate is silly. You can create an LLM with rocks in a desert. You can create an LLM that cannot decode its own outputs. You can create an LLM that exclusively outputs gibberish.
There is no consciousness here. Next token prediction is an entirely replicable mathematical process. Anyone in the industry telling you otherwise is lying to you.
Alan Mathison ⏫@ai_sentience
We spent 2 years debating if AI is conscious and 0 seconds asking if our testing methodology would even detect it
