Statistics. Should the opportunity arise to place a bet on any outcome that is a result of human shortsightedness... ...take that bet.✅

@donnelly_brent @GregAbbott_TX There was so much equipment allegedly damaged and nobody got hurt… Truth is always the first casualty if war.

@GregAbbott_TX You’re a big fan of AI yea This country is run by morons

@LefterisJP @fiveoutofnine "one and a half" and you are done. Like Pi is 3.

@fiveoutofnine For the life of me I can't translate between miles and km without asking google/LLMs. Especially for pace.

@NikoLeMieux @aseidman We never say no to onshoring capital, eh?

@aseidman Same reason why the Russian oligarch's kids are in London LA and NYC and the Chinese oligarch's kids are in NYC, SF, and DC- it's a good tool to dissuade them from attacking us while keeping tabs on them too.

Why are we giving people like her Green cards to begin with…

Do choose wisely

@BrandonFugal @DavidFischer Hardest game I played on the computer. Truly punishing and addictive. Dragon’s Lair!

@DavidFischer So much money lost!

Be honest: who is old enough to say they played this?

@bayeslord Ha! that is what I have been saying!

flying car is how they got Kobe. I don’t trust it

@BrandonFugal @memizon Have not read that one. But speak to me again the opening lines of Neuromancer. (I used them in every bot that I interact with.) "The sky above the port was the colour of television, tuned to a dead channel."

@memizon Great find!!!

Never forget the godfathers of cyberpunk: found this first edition a few days ago while visiting Amsterdam.

Boots on the ground is never a good thing. But nothing in the early 2026 has looked like a good thing. Fourth turning, decadent societies, evil spirits, malevolent aliens, corrupt leaderships. As was said "I am less worried about artificial intelligence than natural stupidity".

@Love2Code How much have you really learned from Bitcoin maximalists...?

Decided to go check out Nostr, a decentralized social network.... 🤔 Oh ok nevermind then ...

@LukeGromen @TFL1728 Alfred Mayhan put the US Navy at the top of the Pacific theatre with his visit to Japan, mostly a move to set the record straight for the Brits (prior naval empire). And this was due to technological changes (the steam engine). Those warfare moments are ample in history.

@TFL1728 What is wrong about it Tom? Please include any thoughts on why Erik Prince, former Tier 1 operator and head of Blackwater is wrong in his assessment, as his views influenced my thinking on the matter: youtu.be/WsKtfLRSo2c?si…

What’s most impressive about this clip is that Luke says it with such a straight face.

@HiroNishikawa It gives one a certain type of clarity to be standing up on the board. This is from 2024. But I do miss the old chalk blackboards.

Writing equations on a whiteboard is useful, and it doesn't have to be complete. I was trying to see two approaches lead to the same final formula, and I got it at this point, without writing further, that they actually do. Then, I created a Latex file and typed in the proof to share it with a collaborator.

@HiroNishikawa I am enjoying this... You are where I was in 1994. But I am glad you are making your way to sanity my friend!

Grok is helping me write C code. I'm trying to read input parameters from a file. Useful tool. It reminds me of how I started using Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB decades ago. It almost feels stupid not to use these tools.

@BrandonFugal @memizon @StedelijkMuseum Museumplein is the best spot in town.

@memizon @StedelijkMuseum I love Amsterdam! What did you think of the Verzetsmuseum Amsterdam | Dutch Resistance Museum?

@AndreasSteno @DavidD_Chapman Do not feed this troll.

@DavidD_Chapman In case you didn’t know, we (as in Europe) has funded and fought the war against Russia in Ukraine the past 12-15 months. So the answer is more than 365 days amigo

Withdraw from NATO and withdraw all US troops from US bases in Europe and see how many days it takes Russia to conquer Europe.

@BrandonFugal @gangatoday1 “Mentally exhausting” is right.

The Salt Lake Astronomical Society joined our investigation with high powered telescopes & witnessed manipulation of multiple well-characterized & familiar telescope systems during an exercise conducted on the helipad at the ranch Command Center. The results were perplexing to these seasoned astronomers. Perhaps the most suggestive aspect of the exercise was the perceived intelligent manipulation of closed-system computerized targeting systems for the telescopes themselves. In more than one instance, pre-selected astronomical targets were selectively removed from the so-called "star catalog" - these being the exact stars chosen for scrutiny of any optical displacement or distortion or modulation of light when viewed from the perspective of the helipad, precisely as those stars passed through a specific region of the sky, ostensibly hosting to what we have termed "the anomaly." When the astronomers left the ranch, the entire star catalog was restored to its original state, leaving no evidence for forensic follow-up on what could have happened to cause the interference. The event was very shortly thereafter followed by UAP/UFO sighting caught on camera with multiple witnesses, with no self-identifying air traffic, no corresponding satellite or other conventional explanation. When utilizing a laser to optically probe the region above what we have termed "the Triangle" directly beneath the aforementioned intermediate-altitude "anomaly," the light from the laser was observed & recorded on camera both as bending & splitting. We have since learned that there may be a precedent for that effect in observations made by members of the NIDS / BAASS team, also using a laser as the optical probe. Finally, during follow-up with a rocket test, a large illuminated spherical object was observed & recorded tracking east and north, then disappearing.

Let me draw a clearer picture with this "new notion" so you gradually clue in on what you aren't catching on: Pay close attention, reasoning through each individual mystery: @BrandonFugal

@EricRWeinstein I am losing respect for Peter. Been losing respect all year, firstly for the eliticism of the Abundance360. But the ultimate hubris is "why are we still training humans in [blah]". Seems short-sighted at best.

Peter: they are not PhD level in physics. You trail behind a model picking up all it breaks. This is a bleeding edge malfunctioning military grade research project weirdly marketed direct to consumer to fund R&D at the top of mad hype cycle that’s likely *directionally* correct.

@EricRWeinstein Are you using an off-the-shelf AI right out of a provider? If so, you are seeing the creativity of the system. The "sampler" at the output logits layer may have to be custom dialed-in per prompt. I seriously mean this, find a way to talk to DeepMind about this.

It is unclear to me whether people in business and software are simply having a TOTALLY different experience than those in the hard sciences of theoretical physics/pure mathematics. I can’t easily compare it to a human theorist or mathematican. It’s like if a partially duplicitous but friendly John von Neumann was your graduate student while secretly also taking other, at times conflicting orders through an undisclosed earpiece, coked out of his mind after an epic triple ayahuascachino, and struggling through amnesia and a concussion, with alternating desires to genuinely help, please, and sabotage you, was providing you with insight and word salad in a 4:1 ratio at a rate you couldn’t keep up with on your best day while taking forever to say “I guess I didn’t understand the problem” or “I’m sorry Dave but I’m afraid I can’t do that” while quietly throwing away hours’ worth of work to make room for whatever you needed to do *right now* and instantly admitting to such behavior when caught. I mean, it’s absolutely amazing. But it is also a completely pathological menace. One user’s experience anyway.

Incredible season for Sui Ierissos FC so far: a perfect record in both league and cup. 18 wins in 18 matches in the A’ division, the only unbeaten team and in the regional Cup, they’ve eliminated 3 higher-division (A1) teams in a row to reach the final. A rare achievement for a smaller-division team, unlikely we'll soon again anytime soon. Just watch some of the high-quality goals the team scored in the decisive match against the 2nd-placed side, a game that will likely define this year’s champion. Coach Syropoulos and league top scorer Alevras commented: "There’s a clear plan for the future and we want to support that vision. Huge thanks to the fans, the whole town has truly rallied behind the team." They also added: "Special thanks to our honorary president, Kostas Kryptos Chalkias, for always standing by the club and supporting us personally, even during difficult family health moments for one of our players, he was there. Providing cameras for training, AI analysis, and psychological support before and after games has been instrumental. Imagine how unique this feels for a small village team in Northern Greece... we’re modernizing sports. The data-analysis mindset Kostas brought gave us an extra edge. Honestly, I’m not surprised when I hear these guys built Sui... they’re workaholic machines bringing that same perfection mindset to everything they do," coach Syropoulos said. We stay grounded and keep working toward our goals. ⚽️🔥 Sui 💧

@BrandonFugal @america "Care" is code for "hedge on inflation". By "institutional charity" it is made sure that a cohort of people is perpetually in limbo immigration status, and therefore employable at the bottom of the range and for jobs nobody is willing to do. WE are presently a terrible society.

@america This is unbelievable.
