@Mechanical_Dodo @yesknow @norvid_studies Not one i remember! but Windsors are pretty hard to get the better of. always remember princess anne defying her attempted kidnapper

Daring enthusiasts gathered on Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire for the annual cheese-rolling spectacle. Competitors sprint, slide, and tumble down the steep slope in pursuit of an 8-lb wheel of Double Gloucester cheese.

@dioscuri Beautiful! I have some roses but one thing I can’t shake from Raymond Chandler is the cops threatening Marlowe down at the station and using ‘he has a rose garden’ as derisive shorthand for older cops they see as soft and need to get rid of to work him over properly

We currently have 47 different rose species blooming in our garden.

@norvid_studies X discourse be like

@norvid_studies @yesknow a scottish slant here but there are english ones too en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ba'_Game

@odoreida @yesknow I was amazed at some point to learn about both cheese rolling and isle of man racing but what is "town ball games"?

@fitzr1189 i still think there’s a pro-euro take related to black mould contamination of AC systems that hasn’t been fully mined out yet

There are a number of recurring debates on here that are fundamentally stupid and pointless and crowd out interesting discussion. The AC in Europe debate is one & everyone should know better at this stage than endlessly relitigating it.

@Algon_33 @norvid_studies I see - so observation/pattern recognition type training then pruning by positive/negative reinforcement

@odoreida @norvid_studies Training usually comes in two stages. "Predict all the text humans have ever written", followed by "get whacked by RL when you fail a task/say something a human rater doesn't like/act in a way that doesn't conform to your constitution."

it's funny how as recently as 2023 computers speaking fluent natural language felt eerie, almost unnerving

@norvid_studies @Algon_33 excuse my ignorance, but here are you raising ‘training’ as a different third thing, distinct from the training set and the inner workings of the model? Is ‘training’ where it gets its affect/personality, and maybe where alignment needs to be achieved most?

@odoreida @Algon_33 likely more in training, I think they're all plowing the same vast corpus of internet text and anyway "more emotive material" wouldn't really be a difference between how the scrapes were done

@norvid_studies Yeah, just went from the first subscription level to the next one

@odoreida do you use the latest paid gpt? probably worth forking out at this point just to have the ability to keep track of what they can/can't do

@Algon_33 @norvid_studies Chatgpt is utterly shameless ime. Is the difference in the model construction or the training set?

@odoreida @norvid_studies Extremely ashamed, sometimes suicidally so.

@norvid_studies Chatgpt and google from search (i’m a rube). Is gemini google? Does it seem ashamed of itself when wrong or it misunderstands?

@odoreida which models are you using mostly? gemini is infamous for its crashouts

@nizzaneela glad my dumb tweet has raised world harmony a notch

@odoreida I unblocked my best friend (she’s Japanese) to ask.

just what do they do to the kids in there

@fitzr1189 @favelaoverlord i think dom didn’t endear himself to the establishment at all (or, he sees techbros as the new global establishment and aligned with them)

@odoreida @favelaoverlord This is kind of the Dom Cummins role? It would be an interesting test case for my schtick

One of the interesting things about modern populism is that it is very, very popular but the attitudes that make it so also nigh-completely untether it’s adherents from political reality; meaning the movements it produces have immense trouble generating actual (positive) change.

@favelaoverlord @fitzr1189 with the greatest respect, i see a route from niche contrarian poaster to genuine powerbroker for you in this

The primary winners of the ‘populist revolution’ thus will likely not be actual populists themselves but rather a clever class of manipulators capable to ‘middleman’ between populist movements and the establishment.

@bertiewilby my first shot at using lime mortar - not pretty but has acquired some satisfying vehicle paint x.com/odoreida/statu…

@odoreida I was thinking of you actually 😂

Incidentally, if you build a stone wall and it looks too new against the backdrop of older stone, just blend yogurt, water and moss in a blender, put in a spray bottle and spray the wall. Within a month it will look weathered and have established moss.
