Here is some heartwarming news.

If the lefty ideology had not infected the zeitgeist the way it has this kind of shit would never happen. Reminds me of when i learned about UNWRA and there was no outcry or scandal. If ya want the middle east to continue with its genocidal Jew hatred and endless wars and terrorism then keep propping the lefty’s.…[Read more]

I listened to Batmobile or whatever her name. She got a lot of stuff right but some stuff wrong. I got the sense she is just a BLIND supporter of Trump because she sees him as a real ally of Israel. And obviously Trump’s support is negotiable and secondary. Nor is the support of Isreal in and of itself a reason to look the other way for his…[Read more]

There is no underestimating the depth of stupidity or depravity. I totall get how it is some of the folks i know have simply divorced themselves from the day to day prattle and news.

Some days I just think…”Really, I gotta share the planet with these morons and idiots??…Just keep the f**k away from me!

Thanks Enco, glad to be finished that project. Taking tomorrow off and will go for a 6 hour walktrek….here.

Yes, I have seen Yarvin’s name crop up in a few articles recently. He thinks Trump is not killing democracy quickly enough and if MAGA loses the Senate  it will herald the end of the Trump administration which will “wither and ev…[Read more]

Yes PopeBeanie, it is brilliant. It is more of a paradigm shift (Kuhn) than a  evolution in medical science. All future developments will be at the micro and atomic level. Better living through Science!

I am not worried by A.I. in the workforce. Too many companies are in a hurry to integrate AI into their core systems and very few I deal with have any idea how a basic network operates, let alone an A.I. system. Many of my clients work in the Architectural and Engineering sector and are required to submit online tenders for government projects. I…[Read more]

Superman is in the building.

Reg, how long before your superpowers will be executed by AI without need for a human?

Yay!! Thanks, Reg!!

Have a great week everyone!

I got called into work last weekend to solve an emergency in a hospital IT system. Luckily it was a holiday weekend so I managed to get systems up and running again, 2 hours before the first scheduled operation.

What i’d be interested to know is how various individuals from various ideologies v those sans ideology change their viewpoints once they learn the evidence demonstrates a belief associated with an ideology is BS.

Secondarily how do beliefs that are divorced from ideologies get jettisoned by the aforementioned groups.

Enco,

AYA

That is what they say in NH.

In the last Sunday School of recorded time i add tomatoes to the bill of fare.

Yeah so am i the only one who has noticed it aint easy to find a good tomato? It is unreal man. I picked up an heirloom recently and was presently surprised to discover it was good. Not excellent. But good.

Apropos of nothing but tangential relevance in tact a…[Read more]

I asked Perplexity for some modern entries to the Devil’s Dictionary’…

God — n. A hypothesis invented to explain the unknown, then promoted to a tenant who refuses to pay rent or leave.

Faith — n. The art of holding a belief so tightly that facts bruise their knuckles trying to get in.

Prayer — n. A one-way telephone call to an invis…[Read more]

Enco has hit on a major issue with LLM’s.

How about an LLM that does not have its tongue up our ass? Make it argumentative and cynical. Not gratuitously so. But when users champion dumb ideas push back. Being affirmed in all of our viewpoints as opposed to challenged is not optimal. Have a socratic mode available. Can we play some goddamn ball?

But surely the point is, even if we don’t move in space, we still move past the time coordinates (at the speed of light).  What makes this happen?

Beanman was a doper. A fixed smile and ready giggle with reality he did giggle. But you’re Beanie and despise unreal and meanie.

Forgive me. just woke.

So here is the direct quote and some surrounding questionables. “I mean locally we have free will, at LESS the sensantion the sensation that we do… I suspect that line is filched. The first…[Read more]

Perplexity has a misapplied word. Less. Should have been least. Does it simply copy paste?

The free will and compatibilism was not very deep or convincing.
