  • Bernie has a lot more energy than Trump and Biden combined, tbh.

    He doesnt get support because he actually supports the working class. The fundamental thing us left folks have to accept is the democratic party simply isnt a left wing party. The left doesnt exist anymore in the US.

    The parties are right wing conservatives called Democrats vs fascist psychopaths that call themselves Conservatives.

    The reality simply is that the left is the right, and the right isnt even on the chart anymore. The actual left doesnt even have representation at this point.

    Voters have to start getting a lot louder about this, in more obnoxious ways. Protesting has to happen, at minimum.



  • Are you saying that theres >42% chance a bear will be on your side in the wilderness then?

    That makes no sense. By all arguments taking “a man” is prolly the far better choice anyways, people are just stupid.

    There’s a 100% chance that “the bear” is a fucking bear

    Theres at least a decent chance “a random man” is an asset to survival and your odds of success go up instead of down…

    There’s no scenario where choosing “the bear” improves your odds of success >_>;

    Usually it’s a case of a well thought out decent post, but then you scroll down to comments and it’s “men are trash” and etc, so you end up with a bunch of fighting, which detracts from the original point.

    Prolly would be better if “comments on this are disabled” was more common practice.

    Or if administrative systems actually punished people heavily for saying stuff like “(any group of people) are trash”

    I use Hugo, it’s not super complicated.

    You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you write your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.

    You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.

    That’s about all there is to it, it’s a pretty minimalist static site generator.

    Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.


  • Well yeah, I’d hope so, that’s the entire point.

    Catcha’s data collection always was with the intent for training ai on these skills. That’s “the point” of them.

    It’s reasonable to expect that the older version of captchas can now be beaten by modern ai, because they’re often literally trained on that exact data to beat it.

    Captcha effectively is free to use on websites as a tool because the data collection is the “payment”, they then license that data out to people like OpenAI to train with for stuff like image recognition.

    It’s why ai is progressing so fast, captchas are one of humanity’s long term collected data silos that are very full now.

    We are going to have to keep progressing the complexity of catches as it will be the only way to catch modern AIs, and in turn it will collect more data to improve it.





  • To be honest, the one thing that LLMs actually are good at, is summarizing bodies of text.

    Producing a critique of a manuscript isnt actually to far out for an LLM, it’s sorta what it’s always doing, all the time.

    I wouldn’t classify it as something to use as concrete review, and one must also keep in mind that context windows on LLMs usually are limited to only thousands of tokens, so they can’t even remember anything more then like 5 pages ago. If your story is bigger than that, they’ll struggle to comment on anything before the last 5 or so pages, give or take.

    Asking an LLM to critique a manuscript is a great way to get constructive feedback on specific details, catch potential issues, maybe even catch plot holes, etc.

    I’d absolutely endorse it as a step 1 before giving it to an actual human, as you likely can substantially improve your manuscript by iterating over it 3-4 times with an LLM, just covering basic issues and improvements, then letting an actual human focus on the more nuanced stuff an AI would miss/ignore.



  • Yeah this is just noticeable because most products weren’t even resealable, they just expected you to seal em yourself with a clip, twist em, put em in a container, etc.

    Now they are adding cheap resealable zips to the bag, which is nice in theory but the bag material has to be strong enough to support it.

    Actual ziplock baggies themselves are made of thick plastic that can take a bit of abuse.

    But cheap paper plastic hybrid materials a chip bag us made of can’t handle that sort of load, so it becomes the fail point.


  • Exponential growth, thats about all there is to it. Advancing from clacking rocks to hunting deer is actually already a huge advancement.

    Those 190k years in caves however werent non-advancing. A lot of advancements happened over those years.

    Fires, wheels, knot tying, ceramics, pottery, grains, hunting, animal husbandry, medicine, language, art, music, rope…

    Also, 10k years is after we gained writing of various forms to store information.

    Keep in mind thats at the stage of shit like egypt, the great pyramids, etc. We were waaaaay beyond “cavemen” at that point. We already had trade routes, cities, nations, countless languages, doctors, etc.

    The big issue was before that point, all our forms of storing information were just not able to stand the test of time very well, is all. We stopped being “cavemen” way before that mark though.
