Even the LLM industry itself can't get good results in their studies.

It confirms other studies which have shown is that if there is no friction learning does not work. Learning requires friction, offloading your skills mean you become less capable at your job:

you are Literally Deskilling yourself

Note there were short simple tasks, so the small speed ups in time aren't meaningful to real world tasks.

At the time of the suicide, the camera to Maxwell’s cell were switched off and the guards were sleeping."

Found out about Jesus Enrique Rosas (body language expert) via Scott Adams and after Maduro’s capture. He posted.

β€œIf the Charlie Kirk assassination has taught me anything is that we're in this big psyop that is NOT about a 'cover-up' by Turning Point because there is literally ZERO evidence that points to that and ALL the evidence that points to Tyler Robinson.

β€œNope, the real psyop is a massive blackpilling against the conservative movement itself, and those who want the Democrats back in charge are using this fulcrum in the space-time continuum of the United States to steer people away from voting. As in 'both sides and every single organization involved is corrupt', which is as nihilistic as you can get.”

β€œAs @elonmusk said, it is way better to be optimistic and being wrong, than being pessimistic and being right. Life is already hard, so optimism will at least guarantee that you're not going to spend your years being miserable.”

As an atheist, I’m constantly amazed how much Christianity abandoned that whole WWJD thing β€” what *would* Jesus do, indeed.

Hey @CozyLife

I got that pizza I was telling you about. 18" hand tossed crust. The sauce is spiced up nicely with garlic, basil and oregano...plus a touch of red pepper heat. I really like the sliced meatballs on their Meatlovers.


That looks really good. Enjoy.
I Just got done ordering some Pizza.

Phone shots from a winter walk. My camera died today! Apparently a known defect with the new #Fujifilm X-E5 where the screws holding the strap attachment can come loose. Thankfully didn't fall off while I was carrying it and drop. However the now loose screw rattling around in the camera shorted it out and I lost all power. Had to make due with my Samsung.

🧢🧢🧢 Interesting brief article about knitting and political resistance - the red hat.

"People who opposed the occupation and the Nazis were known as... the Norwegian Nazi equivalent of libtards. Nazis also frequently accused their opposition of being communists."

Lots of product teams are being tempted to save costs by vibe coding a replacement to some SaaS app.

Managers on such teams need to ask two questions: what will it cost to maintain and who will train people on the tool?

Someone will make a lot of money solving the proliferation of vibe coded internal apps at companies. There was a similar proliferation of internal websites problem that Sharepoint solved; creation, discovery and management.

Interesting opening at Nintendo of America, located in Redmond, WA.

Throughout the 1790’s, before his presidency in 1801, Thomas Jefferson as one of the founding fathers of the United States began a project to build America’s navy. Ships were built in astonishing rates, and he also pushed for and commissioned the first US Marine Corps. He knew what needed to be done to protect American trade and interests, and to protect American citizens. The time for appeasement was over.

The word β€œmasopust” comes from the Old Czech and means β€œmeat fast”. People wear masks, dress up in costumes, celebrate the start of spring, fertility and give farewell to winter. Masopust is a moveable feast day and the last chance to feast before Easter Lent, the 40 weekdays and six Sundays preceding Easter.
