Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski: best of frenemies Britain’s twin populists have a symbiotic relationship

At first glance this looks like a simple story about the mutually loathing poles of radical left and right in Britain. In reality the dynamic is more complex, and a lot more dangerous

According to gravity anomaly, the Hawaiian islands begin at the intersection of Aleutian islands and Kamchatka peninsula. The mantle plume that created the islands must be hundreds of millions years old and has created a chain of mountains thousands of km long stretching across the pacific ocean.

I disagree. Teaching American history truthfully highlights the areas where work is still needed to live up to our founding principles. And that's the way I taught it.

Previous tokens do not constitute a meaningful internal state. It's linear and immutable, while the latent representation of a thought is not. Even if you consider its next token output to be its memory of its internal state, it has at most 12 bits to store that, too few for meaningful thought.

LLMs don't keep any state. Whatever intelligence they may have begins and ends with the generation of each token.

A glass frog sits above the camera on a glass plate, so we can see the inner organs: intestines, liver, heart.  It's a green sheened frog with golden eyes, and the big sticky-looking feet of a tree frog.

There are many levels of "naked": underwear only, no clothing at all & the highest level of (human) nakedness: only wearing socks.

Then we have the glass frogs of Family Centrolenidae, who take it to the next level: visible organs.

This is part of their Cloak of Invisibility!

Read this yesterday, and what's particularly annoying is how close this comes at times. ".. substituted β€œrationalism” and β€œAGI” for a coherent theology of Progress" .. like, yes? Go on, you had something there. Then it turned into feeling worried that the leviathan might not always favor you.

And, on top of all this, actively hate and try to drive away anyone who is well connected to what is happening, does have insider tips, is capable of basic reasoning, values the truth over their immediate feelings, and admits when they don't know. They literally send such people death threats.

These 'gender reveals' are getting out of control!

Let's talk about why this bolete mushroom is changing color on exposure to air.

I can't be certain of the species, but there are a number of "bluing boletes" including Gyroporus cyanescens. Some are edible, others at least mildly toxic.

Again Will is a left wing civil rights lawyer whose worst sin is stubbornness and whose greatest virtue is also stubbornness. That he has been transformed into a demon in the minds of losers is evidence of how pathetically inadequate their vision of actual wickedness is.

Perry: Abolish ICE? How about DHS altogether. "We have models for how to structure federal immigration oversight that doesn't rely on an unaccountable masked secret police force running rampant in our streets," David M. Perry writes.

Abolish DHS. If you can imagine a world before Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, you can imagine a world without the Department of Homeland Security. My latest at @startribune.com. (gift link)

House Democrat Says Abolishing ICE Isn’t Enough β€” DHS Must Go, Too β€œThe problem isn’t β€˜training.’ DHS was built to violate our rights,” said Rep. Delia C. Ramirez.

Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, β€œDHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”

If this also includes abolishing the rampant 4th amendment violation knownas the TSA, it would not only have my full throated support, but I would probably also be an activist for it.

The big problem I see with the cameras where I live is that the ones that are installed are nowhere near where pedestrians would ever be walking.

From what I've seen, speed limits, to the extent that they are enforced at all, are almost always enforced on highways rather than city streets.

I think the key word here is "and": So-called "AI" systems don't do what is advertised AND involve labor exploitation AND perpetuate biases AND are environmentally ruinous.

I don't think we should drop the environmental angle.
