Indiana and Trump throw thousands of Hoosier children off of Medicaid in order to decrease taxes for Elon Musk, the Epstein Class, and Trump himself.
Don't listen to Braun when he says he wants to fix healthcare, but is the one who is gutting the state's portion of the program along with his hero, Trump.

@rationaldoge The point is Billionaire CEOs who care not one nit about how many people they put out of work or how many are starving. This has all become tech toys for them, enabled by going full-MAGA up there on the platform with Trump. Smiling all the way. Robotaxis, AI, all ways to try gain control over people's lives in ways they will find difficult to avoid or escape.

Week 01, Segment 01: Introduction
In this video lecture, we provide an introduction, discuss the purpose of the class, the syllabus, student expectations, as well as available resources.
Note: The videos in this series were mostly created in 2020. A few things have changed since then. Specifically, consult the course website for updates regarding the assignments.
»For Roth, the fact that entities like the Public Interest Registry immediately capitulated to threats from the U.S. government should raise alarm bells for everyone.
“Just because the U.S. decides that someone is a terrorist — without any judicial procedure, without anything that one can legally go against — so just a decision by the State Department, and then all this internet governance structure falls apart,” she said. “I think that opens a lot of questions.”«

Danke für die klaren Worte, @anneroth .
Got a City of Toronto promo email about the 20th anniversary of Nuit Blanche and am going to go die of old age thanks.
I went to the very first one. It was surreal and magical because no one really knew what to expect, you were perpetually unsure of whether quite ordinary things were art installations or not, there was no corporate sponsorship, and fewer people were drunk. It was rainy and that thinned the crowds out, too.
When the second one happened I was working at a shoddily run bakery in Kensington where Wanda's Pie in the Sky is now. I was supposed to work the next day. So I was just like "I quit, bye." Worth it.
A few years later, I had to open the next day at Starbucks and could not afford to quit, so I just stayed up all night and walked to work. I barely made it to the end of my shift lol.
Oh no I was browsing through previous years and the name "Newmindspace" hit me in the face like a bunch of bricks. Oh god.
Oh no now I'm remembering the pirate crew I—I've said too much.
It appears that Tristan Buckmaster raising alarms that AI corporations may have snooped on their research so the companies could throw compute at developing proofs for, and gain credit for, advancements in the Navier-Stokes equations. OpenAI then threw a massive amount of compute at the problem, and seemed to try to coerce Tristan into getting credit for it: https://cims.nyu.edu/~tristanb/statement.pdf
> I said that if OpenAI released its result in the way proposed I would go public with what happened. The reply was, “Why would you ruin your career?” I replied that I am an academic, and asked why he thought going public would ruin my career. The reply was, “If you don’t want me to be nice, then I don’t have to be nice.”
Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this War Rug Blanket. Weapons of war are great at destroying things, such as any chance of us ever having affordable healthcare.

@lowqualityfacts Now do one that's dildos.
I'm thinking about offering some informal mentoring to someone who wants to get into #postmarketOS development (packaging, #duranium) or other projects I'm heavily involved with. I've been contributing to pmOS for a while, and I'm happy to help someone get unstuck. In return I'd ask for patience (I make mistakes and I don't have infinite time), and some self-motivation and comfort with Linux, the command line, and git. Would anyone be interested in this?
operating system that ships with an architecture overview diagram that’s a zoomable svg and as you zoom into any individual part it becomes more detailed and gives you more things to zoom in on until you’re down to the source code level of a given thing, which is editable, and two buttons, “check” and “reload” because the bootloader parses the svg and JITs the code that’s not already in the system cache by hash

Seems like a good time to post quote from Stewart & Norvig (3rd edition) of events in 1997.
"Kasparov said that he felt a “new kind of intelligence” across the board from him. Newsweek magazine described the match as “The brain’s last stand.” The value of IBM’s stock increased by $18 billion."
i had several "correlation is not causation" wankers on the youtube and mf did i fucking say it was
also, rich students tend to do better than poor ones, amazing
@davidgerard why do you even give in to them. Ignore them. You know you do your research and some stupid Youtube comments are unlikely to give you any constructive criticism worth listening to.

Advances in science using LLM are reaching equally into philosophy at this point. (also Adelaide pride)
@shlee @tao I had a similar but simpler conversation with a colleague yesterday; the context was that I was doing some discovery of an existing (human-designed and human-implemented) system, and I was mapping relevant components, as I do.
He asked “why don’t you use this LLM skill to generate the map for you? It’ll be much faster”
Because if I did that, I wouldn’t know which questions weren’t explored, which weird things discovered along the way were left out but critical for later evaluation, and I’d end up with something I couldn’t answer questions about in any but the most superficial way because I hadn’t been involved in creating it.
The journey is more important than the destination, and when we forego the journey, we arrive at the destination unenlightened.
