Good point!
Unfortunately it also happens in jazz where venue size is less important.
I've seen bored Belgians sitting through concerts of artists I would kill for to see in Prague. It's the weirdest thing.

Yeah, I can see that happening. It was kind of mindblowing seeing the kind of artists that tour Belgium and Nederlands compared who we get in Prague. Partly it's always been like that. Post communist countries tend to be less popular.
But all the piracy surely doesn't help.

Yeah, IDK why is that. Some people blame the communists. Screwing over the system was normal and "ok" because it was all "public property" anyways.
I think it had to be in us already. No respect for anything. Some people are genuinely proud of it. Sometimes it's sad. Sometimes it pisses me off.

I hope those morons never get a wife to abuse in the first place. They don't seem to deserve any.

Ok I've spent like half an hour reading the stuff here and I'm ready to stop again for like a month.
People need to get their heads out of their asses, else we're well and truly fucked.

I don't care how well you RL train your model and how many patches you put on it and on the training data. You give it a gun trigger, you're a fucking moron.

We've had so many people pointing out vigorously how stupid we would have to be to give any kind of AI lethal autonomy and now we get this?
This is also where your Chat GPT subscription money is going and I don't fucking want to hear excuses.

We're building statistical prediction models based on a world of words. That is not the same world in which we take actions. It's a representation of it, skewed in many important ways and aspects.
We form that representation in the process of selection of the training data, but it's always flawed.

07.03.2026 14:25 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

fwiw I have that feeling too.
In my case it has to do with hooking up word production to real actions and an intrinsic mismatch between the context in which, and the method how the words are produced, with the world in which the actions are carried out.

I 100% understand! That was my stance originally as well.
Then they announced Indy and I heard so many good things about DK I said what the hell.

I've finished #minishootadventures on Steam Deck back when it came out, but now I'm considering buying it again and replaing on #switch2. Such a good game!
Also looking forward to #Moonlighter2.
Loved the first one!

I've started both and Bananza totally won me over.
#Outlaws is not bad,but the framerate is not great and #DK feels special. Also much more suitable for my random 15 min gaming sessions.
Now that #BluePrice is on Switch, things might change rapidly ๐Ÿ˜…
BTW I'm loving the demo of #outbound!

I'll add a perhaps a bit controversial note.
Of course MMW played a lot with John Scofield and made some truly special music together.
But I find myself preferring Julian's sound and touch in this format ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Julian Lage and John Medeski are among my favourite artists ever, so seeing them cooperate feels very special.
What also struck me about this track is how much it brings back the MMW energy and how differently is Jorge Roader playing compared to his usual to make it so.
Amazing stuff!

In the last few hours, Iran has attacked Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Cyprus, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, and Oman.
We strongly condemn all illegal and indiscriminate attacks against the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council and other countries in the region.
We also condemn the launch of missiles by Hezbollah and Israel's attack on Lebanon.
Violence only begets more violence. Bombs hit military targets, but they also strike streets, airports, schools, and the homes of innocent civilians.
They must immediately halt this spiral and return to the framework of diplomacy and dialogue.

I am grateful for and admire what has Andrej Karpathy done for the community, but that's about the only positive thing I can say about the company.

Can't delete it, never installed in the first place. OpenAI's path from a not for profit to what they are now has always been despicable to me.
However if you have, please consider it.
