@cwellmon I was at UVa in 1989 when we built a shanty town on the Lawn in front of the Rotunda to campaign for divestment. The next morning at 6am, the head of the Board of Visitors showed up for a conversation. No riot police, no attack dogs, just an adult conversation.

None of these folks showed up when I lived on campus and white supremacists with tikki torches yelling “Jews will not replace us” marched through campus as I hid my three kids.

@ZeyuanAllenZhu Is this what you mean? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junk_(shi…

Result 10/11/12: surprisingly, when pre-training good data (e.g., Wiki) together with "junks" (e.g., Common Crawl), LLM's capacity on good data may decrease by 20x times! A simple fix: add domain tokens to your data; LLMs can auto-detect domains rich in knowledge and prioritize.

Result 6/7: If insufficiently trained, GPT2_rotary works 30% better than LLaMA/Mistral architectures in terms of storing knowledge. A closer look reveals that GatedMLP is the cause: it is less stable to train and thus not friendly for acquiring "rare knowledge" in pretrain data.

@data_together is your slack still alive? The sign up link on your website doesn't work.

@netpreserve can I get an invite to the IIPC slack? lindahl@pbm.com ... I'm on the mailing list already.

@gfodor When my friend described this I was thinking it knew *IRC* historical figures like me. It would be entertaining to converse with my 1989 self.

Here is a prompt in Shoggoth-tongue that will spawn a IRC chat room where you can talk to historical figures. Type /summon X to add people. simul8-IRC(historical_figures); /summon; act_as_IRCclient; realism+emoji

@GovMurphy Bravo! I wish my state governor in South Carolina had stood up for me in 1983. My planned speech was much more boring, but it was unfair for me to be denied the right to speak because my principal feared my opinions.

To Bryce Dershem – I'm so proud of you for speaking truth to power, and for your resilience and courage. To all of our LGBTQIA+ youth – you belong, you are loved, and we will continue to fight alongside you for equality, inclusion, and respect. washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/06…

@doordash You just sent me a lie by email with subject "Action Required: Important Information Regarding Your DoorDash Account" -- are your growth hackers out of control or what?

@conzept__ @internetarchive Glad you like it! I love your tool conze.pt, that's exactly the kind of knowledge exploration service I was hoping would use a lot of tools like mine!

Discovered an interesting tool by @glindahl and the @internetarchive It renders a timeline of your search terms in 82.000 books. Click a year and you'll see the matching books with links. More background: blog.archive.org/2016/02/09/how… Explore for yourself: conze.pt/explore/Revolu…

Now I have to learn 6 string. And you know what? There's exactly one song I want to learn: your rant. And I'll learn 2 Renaissance grounds along the way! WIN-WIN.

@RobPRocks I played 'cello in grade school and it turns out that I don't like the Classical Period of Classical Music, so now I do early music: viola da gamba, double reeds, hammer dulcimer. A friend gave me a 6 string for Xmas, which is about like giving me a puppy...

@NASA_Wallops Why are the webpages talking about last February's launch? sites.wff.nasa.gov/wmsc/#/home

🚀 We're GO for launch! Follow along with our blog posts for the #Antares cargo resupply mission scheduled for Oct. 1 at 9:38 p.m. EDT. go.nasa.gov/3ilmEPs ⛅ The latest forecast is 70% probability for favorable weather. Cloud ceilings and cloud cover are the main concerns.

@chrome8383 No, not currently. I fake it by rerunning the crawl after turning the old crawllog into seen urls and the frontier into additional seeds. BTW I don't actually use twitter, better to create github issues or email me.

@discordapp HEY! No one's ever seen a wumpus, so how can you make a plushie of one?

Wumpus plushies are here and they’re so adorable I can’t even blink when I’m looking at them please get me eye drops 😶 Like and retweet for a chance to win a plushie. We’ll randomly select ten people to win 🍃!!

@dosarrest Any chance I can get a new search engine spider added to the SES or XSE list? I see 23,000 domains that are blocking me.

@stewart__dennis How do I unsubscribe from all emails from @bitbounce ? I got spam from you but the unsubscribe appears to not be from ALL @bitbounce emails.

@RocketLab I only have Aussie wine to drink during the livestream, is that close enough? :-)

@fijall @jbaiter_ @giovannidamiola @atomotic @pypyproject Well, I got it to run a little, and it dumped core in a variety of places. But to be fair, I've been reporting a lot of bugs in aiohttp, too! And debugging python coredumps is a new thing to me, so, ...

@fijall @jbaiter_ @giovannidamiola @atomotic @pypyproject The stuff I was reading on the Internets was not positive about that. I fully admit to being ignorant about pypy, never used it.

@jbaiter_ @giovannidamiola @atomotic @pypyproject Cocrawler is a heavy user of aiohttp and thus asyncio, so I don't think pypy works for it yet. The main win is from avoiding work. Eventually it will appreciate pypy reducing some of the overhead. Already I can run at > 1 gigabit and > 1,000 pages/sec on one medium-sized node.
