Unseen

Yeah Enco i don’t say AI is ready for the task. How it will progress i have no way of knowing. I have not seen anything that leads me to believe it is prepared to replace us in important political roles. What i do know is humans are almost universally incapable and venal.

Individual basis we see the time honored Lord Acton playing out. And…[Read more]

Interesting “Wordle Entropy” strategy. I would work more will the Viterbi model where – “Given the observations I already have, what is the single most likely hidden sequence?” It is a more abductive approach. Beam Search is another you look for the most promising candidates (tokens) to continue exploring. I guess they are cousins of Bayesian approaches.

Squirtle squirt. Wordle wort. Eye of newt. Molecule of zinc. When you play wordle you ought to think thusly…

Pope,

Problem with democracy and SCOTUS is obviously a critical element is people. We fuck up everything. Increasing numbers is not a solution.

How about waiting for AI to be sophisticated enough that it can be divorced from ideological capture? We have a referendum on the objectives when interpreting the constitution including precedent. Then…[Read more]

Overall I find the NYT news reporting to be reliable. Sometimes though, the accuracy in op-eds can be questionable. It also has some journalists that can get annoyingly silly with their religious views.

Never mind Pope. After reading your line again i think you are indicating that the meaning has been watered down so that ambiguity is read into it rather than questioning its plain meaning and efficacy.

I wasn’t implying that, although that may not be inaccurate. SCOTUS itself has been watering down and resetting precedents on…[Read more]

i aint played wordle. Am aware it is popular. My game is called Word Blitz. Ya gotta think a little quicka first a lambent then a flicker. I have gotten to the highest level but am far from the best player. If ya ain’t ya ought’r. First few times you’r fodder. Soon enough you’ll slaughter.

I like the NYT because it has articles that I like and agree with and some I totally disagree with. And Wordle too 🙂

Denmark fights back against Islam.

Will other European nations do it as rationally and without personal blame?

Greater number of deaths in this senseless war than i realized.

AI quote: Russian Forces: UK intelligence agencies estimate that Russian deaths are approaching nearly 500,000. Independent tallies have verified the names of over 223,000 individual Russian soldiers killed, though the actual toll is significantly higher. Additionally, a report from…[Read more]

Reg,

You flip flopped duration. Current war longer. Former war more gruesome. Neither one peaches and cream.

Yes, Strega, so many inspiring stories are coming from Ukraine. Imagine….WW1 was longer than the current war with Russia. A young Jewish girl fled  from Germany to Ukraine with the help of the Russians in 1940. In 2022 as a 89 years old, she fled from the the Russians in Ukraine with the help of some Germans……. to Germany.

Here is the link again. My sub (for the NYT) allows me to share so hopefully this attempt with punch a hole in that wall.

That was an exceptional read, Reg. Thank you for sharing it here 🫶

A dragonfly flew by……

All cultures are equal. No culture can be judged except by its own standards. Carve an exception for western culture in general, Zionist in particular who are judged harshly and whose members have innate evil traits.

So this is fine, right? 2 years old. Evil little bitch! Hopefully she gets fucked by prison guards so she is warmed up for her 60…[Read more]

Pope wrote “Separation of Church and State, even as a meaning-distilled colloquialism not explicitly mentioned in the US Constitution…”

Maybe i am not fully appreciating what you are attempting to convey. I disagree with the characterization of separation of church and state as meaning-distilled colloquialism not explicitly mentioned in the…[Read more]

Here’s one of the best summaries I’ve seen in a while, of relatively current news, and without a lot of hype (IMO).

(Maybe mentioning “Mush Brains” [sic] came close to hype, but that’s just me thinking of Trump as a mentally defective, parentally abused victim, but which the world would have been better…[Read more]
