Practice makes perfect

“say the line Sartre”

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

“The model is definitely better at solving the AP math test than I am, and I was a math minor in college,” OpenAI’s chief research officer, Bob McGrew, tells me. He says OpenAI also tested o1 against a qualifying exam for the International Mathematics Olympiad, and while GPT-4o only correctly solved only 13 percent of problems, o1 scored 83 percent.

That’s still unreliable enough that I wouldn’t trust it to actually do anything. If it scoured its database for a trigonometry textbook and cited a solution for a problem which was as correct as any web calculator, cool. That’d be as useful as google was in 2010. 83% is the kind of score I get on advanced mathematics tests when I have no idea what I’m doing but half-remember the basic steps to get an answer.

White trash never fails to disappoint.

I like the saying “Fahrenheit is what you feel, Celsius is what water feels, and Kelvin is what the universe feels”.

Peaches have a shitty pectin content so they don’t jellify on their own. Next time I’d add powdered pectin, lemon juice, or a second fruit with high levels like plums.

“they’re about to learn why we don’t have healthcare” is this generation’s “mission accomplished”.

The point is to bait lawsuits from people righteously hitting them and the city removing them.

Now a few of them have photos of flowers, but for a while I could scroll down like 50 of those things and they were all photos of my dog set to terrible autogenerated music. AI is the future.

It’s wild that Colorado has no requirements to open a funeral home. No degree, no license, not even graduating high school. This incident is one of several in the past few years.

Live happybadger reaction:

I’m so curious to see how far this will go, especially if the police response is overwhelming as Starmer’s indicating. With the cost of living crisis only going to worsen this strikes me as a stupid version of the Freikorps being driven by the post-WW1 German economic collapse. A racist lynching or the police shooting a protester could both really explode this thing.

I wonder if the astronauts will be able to sue Boeing for the extra damage that time did to their bodies.

As Chico Mendes said, environmentalism without class consciousness is just gardening. Any environmentalist who took him seriously should be humiliated.

Scientific proof of demons.
