@trainface Swipe Night

$10 to whoever comes up with a better name than "watch match" that also has a good domain that I can buy watch-match.trainface.workers.dev also give feedback! let's make this the best way to avoid talking to your spouse

@seanonolennon @Nas McCartney was no slouch

After Dylan and Lennon the best lyrics have been in hip hop imho. @Nas youtu.be/GdmtQDSZS5I?si…

@trainface So, is it?

Is it bigger than a breadbox is one of those classic questions

@meredithlistens I've got a question for you about a possible photo credit. Can you send me a DM?

@joehagansays youtu.be/3Ue8zOXvaIc?si…

@joehagansays The moderator should turn to her side and say, "I happen to have Victor Orban right here."

@joehagansays Desparation is contagious.

@joehagansays I'm not saying he's not an idiot. Just how I read it.

@joehagansays I just took him to be genuinely surprised. He's probably in a bubble where he hears that pronunciation. Maybe the origins are racist but he's not aware. I do have a very liberal friend in California who pronounces her name the same way also.

@joehagansays I didn't scan it that way, for what is worth.

@RobynHitchcock Does the pope shit in the woods?

It's always the same non-argument, too. Them: "The world is governed by an insular, self-interested elite who don't care about ordinary people..." Us: "There's probably a good deal of truth in that." Them: "...therefore, we must support literally the worst man in the world."

One of the depressing aspects of being a songwriter is realising that you’ll never write ‘Life On Mars’.

@seanonolennon @DarlingStella88 @MeghansMole I like the new record. Your singing has never been better.

@DarlingStella88 @MeghansMole Hey that’s not fair! The only thing I’m missing is a good singing voice, a handsome face, and the ability to write great songs and I’d be there!

The Sussex squad can’t even take a joke from @seanonolennon Prince Harry fans are brain dead morons, just like himself

@seanonolennon Is this not tempered by the fact that you have the coolest parents in the world?

People are always shocked when I insult them after they insult my parents. On what planet does that make any sense? The pre-frontal cortex is weak with these ppl.

@PeterMcCormack vanityfair.com/news/2023/09/r…

What a superb advert. Polarisation needs to end.

@lopp No reasoning at all? My experience is that what passes for reasoning appears to fall out of their pattern matching. Perhaps much of ours does as well.

Large language models are fundamentally bullshit generators in the sense that LLMs have no reasoning capability. But pattern recognition isn't a worthless attribute: LLM output quality seems to be correlated with how open-ended of a prompt you use to query them. For transcribing audio, translating between languages, or converting code between programming languages they do quite well because you're asking a question that is a 1:1 mapping. For writing new code, they also still work pretty well because most code can be assembled from boilerplate building blocks. The more subjective / creative / open-ended your queries, the more unpredictable (and untrustworthy) the results will be.

@JeffryGonzalez Nonetheless, if I dropped out it would be because I decided that Twitter has been changing my worldview in a negative way and hence my quality of life.

I totally understand why some leave this site. Now more than ever. There are bad people here. But they are everywhere, and I'll say here I have found some of the best people ever, too. I'm sad when the balance shifts too far for folks and they leave.

@JeffryGonzalez This one threw me. Maybe I don't use Twitter the same way, but most of the stuff I see here is what I explicitly choose to read. I don't find myself surrounded by more or fewer bad people.

@trainface Print your coins out on paper where you can see them.

Been hearing rumors that Ledger is insolvent. Could be just that, rumors, but in this climate you can’t be too safe. Recommend to withdraw your coins directly to the blockchain, where they can’t be tampered with.
