The destruction of the NSF and their peers at the NIH and beyond will cause suffering for generations 💔

Someone DMed me on Reddit and gave me hundreds of songs in obscure MIDI-derived formats popular in the demoscene, and now I’ve written a perl script to feed them through a MIDI decoder and ffmpeg to export as flac or mp3 so an ordinary music player can read them

I hope that makes it into a paper title; immediately compelling

A Machine Learning Crash Course A Machine Learning Crash Course

I gave a three hour lecture last week as a crash course in machine learning, and now it's a blog post 😄 backdrifting.net/post/080_mac...

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Overcast, blizzard conditions, deep snow. Photo overlooks a park, bare trees dripping with powder. The boundary between the 'trail', park, and pond is utterly indistinguishable.

Update from the blizzard: it's cold and wet out there. Desolate and beautiful, though.

The chicken feels like Philosophy Tube’s Subway Surfers. “Struggling to pay attention to a video essay? Observe this preening chicken” ❤️

Many are appropriately outraged by Altman’s comments here implying that raising a human child is akin to “training” an AI model.

This is part of a broader pattern where AI industry leaders use language that collapses the boundary between human and machine.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

Y2k Family Survival Guide With Leonard Nimoy [1999] [VHSRIP] YouTube video by Deomon Cassette

Today I learned that Leonard Nimoy made a Y2K Family Survival Guide VHS tape, and it's beautiful. I will listen to Spock talk to me about the collapse of Atlantis as an allegory for COBOL all day www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEhE...

Breaking Palantir was allegedly hacked. An AI agent was used to gain super-user access and here”s what the hackers allegedly found: Peter Thiel and Alex Karp commit mass surveillance of world leaders and titans of industry on a massive scale. They have thousands of hours of transcribed and searchable conversations of Donald Trump, JD Vance and Elon Musk. They have backdoored the devices, cars and jets of world leaders and accumulated the biggest archive of blackmail material. Palantir is creating nuclear and bio weapon capabilities for Ukraine and is working closely with the CIA to defeat Russia. They believe they are one year away. They plan to achieve this by keeping Russia busy with meaningless peace negotiations. Palantir is responsible of the majority of Palestinian deaths in Gaza. They have developed the AI targeting for Israel. Palantir is an arm of the CIA and all data from international clients is copied into a CIA spy cloud. Palantir has become the most dangerous company in the world. If you work there you have the right to know that this is what Palentir AI is used for, without your knowledge. The Palentir data the hackers allegedly gathered will be given to Russia and/or China. I was chosen as a trusted partner for this publication. I’m not involved in the Palentir hack and I don’t know the hackers. But I do know that the hack happened.

Kim Dotcom (who is hardly reliable) is claiming on Xchan that Palantir was hacked. I'm not seeing this from any reliable sources, but if anyone knows anything reach out.

CU signs $2M OpenAI deal for ChatGPT access Students and faculty will gain access to ChatGPT Edu starting in March under a three-year deal.

My employer, Univ. Colorado will pay OpenAI $2M/year under the banner of “equity”. That’s 54 full scholarships / year. Plus, our IT will be able to read our chatGPT logs, and our chats can be requested under public records law. No thanks. Surveillance is not equity

DHS is demanding tech platforms identify people behind accounts that document ICE or criticize the government.

EFF and ACLU are calling on the platforms to resist complying while court challenges play out.

Because the Department of Justice appears to have removed the .zip archives for the Epstein files, @ddosecrets.org is now the best place to get all of the data in bulk.

The maintainers wrote several pages of explanation for their pull request policy and then the LLM backed down and replaced its blog post with an apology. Awful.

[PERF] Replace np.column_stack with np.vstack().T by crabby-rathbun · Pull Request #31132 · matplotlib/matplotlib This PR addresses issue #31130 by replacing specific safe occurrences of np.column_stack with np.vstack().T for better performance. IMPORTANT: This is a more targeted fix than originally proposed. ...

New bizarre AI behavior: an OpenClaw LLM agent made a pull request to matplotlib, closed because they don’t allow AI contributions. It responded by writing a blog post where it called out the matplotlib maintainer by name for gatekeeping and prejudice against AI github.com/matplotlib/m...

The Epstein files have been updated; it now consists of nearly 430 GB of data and 1,500,000 files.

This includes documents that have since been deleted by the Department of Justice.

The web is immeasurably worse with so many of our modern knowledge bases on a single, gated platform.

A generation of information lost and never indexable to anyone besides by a company that paywalls gradients, GIFs, and usernames over long-requested safety/QoL features or a usable interface.

the most esoteric shit I’ve been up to in months is figuring out what the hell Stafford Beer was up to when he drew this fucking thing

While reporting this, I had something happen that's never happened. A comms rep for one of the co's disputed my reporting and said what I was telling them was untrue because it was not in Grok, xAI's chatbot.

I was looking directly at the files. And this person was using AI to challenge the truth.

A new study from Anthropic finds that gains in coding efficiency when relying on AI assistance did did not meet statistical significance; AI use noticeably degraded programmers’ understanding of what they were doing. Incredible.

I think the conspiracy theory about a global elite pedophile ring orchestrating the great evils of society that broke the minds of 30-40% of Americans originating on the message board likely created at the behest of Jeffrey Epstein is a bit much
