  • I started on Apple 2 then Macs. Then used my graduation money to build a PC with just released Windows 98, Monster Voodoo video card a few months later (off of eBay no less).

    Gamed and worked through my design degree on windows before switching back to Mac when it went Intel, and because I was working in web development and l dealing with Linux servers all day, but also needed Photoshop and layer Sketch (a nice vector UI design tool) and later as I ditched Adobe in my own company, Pixelmator (a nice Photoshop replacement).

    I know a little Vi, I know a bit about spinning up servers and Ruby on Rails, pretty comfortable with a terminal/cli, have a few RPis around the house, and I grew up on and still use Macs.

    No, Ivanka. He’s losing his minds so fast he probably regularly forgets he’s married to the Soviet Spy.

    Same thing happened to my MIL with Alzheimer’s. Was sad for her but she was mostly nice about it. Others aren’t so nice and get paranoid psychosis. I guess we’ll see what the fucking President of the US ends up being like, if they don’t just start hiding him and AI-Generating all his speeches like the Kirk one.



  • So it’s really both.

    LLMs may always hallucinate, bad actors are also going to poison models they have control over, but even “good” or “neutral” LLMs are useful to fascists. Because part of the fascist playbook it’s to remove meaning and facts from the language they use. Often their appeal to recruits is that they are telling them what they want to hear or feel, sometimes based on a truth or fact, but it doesn’t matter to the fascists, just like it doesn’t matter to the LLMs.













  • Without gravity it’s a sphere, or in free fall without air drag it’s a sphere (if it has sufficient surface tension anyway, which is what makes lava or molasses flow that way, in combination with its viscosity).

    But in a vacuum it will boil off until the vapor pressure is high enough to eliminate the vacuum. But then it’s not in a vacuum anymore.

    Really a fluid or liquid will always try to minimize its surface area while fighting gravity.

    It’s a definitions problem that a lot of people who think there aren’t “objective truths” in science.
