The #US removed sanctions against the ex-ISIS-commander-turned-Syria-president (i.e. Al Jawlani) then turned around and placed sanctions on #FrancescaAlbanese.

A foundation model to predict and capture human cognition
Andi's Writeup
Researchers have developed Centaur, a computational model that can predict and simulate human behavior across a wide range of psychological experiments[^1]. Built by fine-tuning Meta's Llama 3.1 70B language model on a dataset called Psych-101, Centaur was trained on over 10 million choices made by 60,000 participants across 160 psychology experiments[^1].The model outperforms existing cognitive models in predicting human behavior, even generalizing to entirely new scenarios it wasn't trained on[^1]. "You can basically run experimental sessions in silico instead of running them on actual human participants," said Marcel Binz, cognitive scientist at the Helmholtz Institute for Human-Centered AI[^2].
Centaur demonstrates unprecedented capabilities in capturing human cognition:
- Predicts behavior with 64% accuracy across varied tasks[^3]
- Generalizes to modified experimental scenarios, like switching from "spaceships" to "magic carpets" in decision-making tasks[^4]
- Shows alignment between its internal representations and human neural activity[^1]
- Performs well on out-of-distribution tasks in moral decision-making, economic games, and logical reasoning[^1]
"It's the first model that can do any kind of task exactly like a human can," said Russ Poldrack, cognitive scientist at Stanford University[^4].

>i don't want to live in a world where im having to walk on eggshells with deranged people who label everyone fascist because they don't like them.
The true and only solution is to not care. I do not care who wrote the software I use as long as it passes the bar of "it works good enough" and more people should think like that. It's in my opinion the only way to remain sane currently.
I've been called a nazi many times for using suckless software, I simply don't care. It works for me and that's the only thing that matters to me. If it doesn't work for someone else, they are free to choose something else.

Different hardware did work right away. The trusty Dell Optiplex to the rescue.
Installed a dual-NIC SuperMicro low profile ethernet card in a Dell Optiplex 3010, installed OPNsense, and it got an IP from the Internet Service Provider.
I did have to check the setting to prefer IPv4 even if IPv6 is available because the ISP doesn't fully support IPv6 and requests were sometimes resolving quickly and sometimes taking a long time. Selecting to prefer IPv4 in the OPNsense settings fixed that issue.

Being family friends with Bill Barr, who likely used epstein to get his political positions, including AG, also suggests he's alive.
I assume they were supposed to spring maxwell too, but that was a year after epstein died and something got fucked up, e.g. Trump didn't get reelected or springing epstein brought more heat than they thought.

The Justice Department said earlier this week that Jeffrey Epstein did not maintain a client list. Here's Mother Jones' story from 2020 on what happened when journalist Leland Nally called every number in the disgraced financier's little black book, which has been circulating since 2009, when a former butler tried to sell it to lawyers representing Epstein's victims.
