llms really have people out here trying to do gamergate 2: this time it's reactionary in a woke way

mods? can you fire this person who posted an AI opinion I didn't like. mods??

Someone tried to get me fired by messaging my job saying I'm talking on here about using AI. They encourage it, you can't get me fired this way. Just gross how often "progressives" love to find excuses to try to ruin the lives of queer women with opinions they don't like.

You know who's really really cool? Everyone not on this list. Like me.

very good rejoinder to a pretty shoddy and motivated piece. my main comment though is that i would not concede the idea that roosevelt — who essentially coined “liberalism” as americans have understood it — was an “anti-liberal”

Their normal move is “lol cuck, you keep whining about fairness and I’ll keep winning.” When the tables are turned they have no idea how to respond.

It was shocking to see in Allston how the city just abandoned people who bike. I don't understand a city that invests in a green and burgeoning mode of transportation that people rely on year round but gives up I would like an apology from @wutrain.bsky.social & Nick Gove and a pledge to do better

Bureaucracy can be annoying, but consider the alternative:

Very excited that this paper is out! www.science.org/doi/full/10.... Led by the fabulous @dorsaamir.bsky.social with invaluable contributions from many awesome collaborators.

still one of the most incredible videos of all time. wellness influencers doing woo encountering an indigenous shaman in the jungles of ecuador and he's like "I need your medicine, the tiger balm" and the guy is just like "no you need to get fucking penicillin moron" www.youtube.com/shorts/ecOsp...

Almost two weeks and there are still many bus stops, crosswalks, sidewalks, and bike lanes that are completely snowed in. Residents shoveled out a bus stop in my neighborhood only to have it plowed back in the next day.

Its not odd at all, you don't become a reactionary (as distinct from conservative) without being a sex weird

Man I am more than happy to build bridges and work alongside the left - and frankly some of our local DSA folks have been the biggest stalwarts in this ICE nightmare - but there are so many lefties who can’t se to understand that agreeing on ICE doesn’t mean I suddenly changed all my views

the fact that early-stage automated vehicles that still occasionally require remote operation assistance are like several orders of magnitude safer than the average American driver should be the real wakeup call here, not the idea that these vehicles still sometimes need remote operation assistance

Makework jobs that could easily be done with AI & robotics is *not* a good answer, for the record.

A classic! Problem with white liberals is that "Sometimes their beliefs are too progressive." Quotes Robin DiAngelo. "Both Crockett and Talarico are progressives... The difference lies in the coalition’s unwillingness to acknowledge and confront aversive racism." elitechange.com/clients/

I can't say if this is widespread or not, but during my decades on college campuses I found that most of the people who spent the most time studying fields like gender/race studies were uneducated more than most in a lot of other fields of studies that caused them to put their cause over everything.

Exactly. Woke 1 was academic context breaking containment into social media.

Well yes, racism is bad etiquette in a multiracial, multicultural, international capitalist elite who don't give the slightest fuck about the background of their kefala slaves as long as the wages are low.

in the elite circles of the US, racism is treated less as a matter of social stratification with direct implications for political stakes and more as a matter of moral etiquette. it is even more notable, then, that this administration can't constrain themselves to the meager associated standards

sucks to be a lame duck

Woke 2 needs to returns to its roots! That's right, I'm talking about cybernetics. A system *is* what it does

indeed it's a question that baffles conservatives. curtis yarvin made his bones in the reactionary thinksphere by putting together the "cathedral" conspiracy theory to explain it!

Peace will come to America when Ben Shapiro loves his children more than he hates ours.

a significant part of the value you add by being a high information person on bluesky is demonstrating for the peanut gallery when the rest of the left is trying to become the Green Party, ie, badly informed and suited only for creating problems

Woke is back!

So cooool

The chair of the first law firm that bent the knee to Trump’s extortion and agreed to do pro bono work for him is featured in the Epstein Files, you say? Huh.

One of the revolutionary insights of liberalism (that many across the political spectrum have either through cynicism or radicalism apparently forgotten) was that political leaders are just people, and we can- and in fact must!- expect them to be normal and decent like anyone else

it's extremely funny (in a cosmic sense) how that guy was like "yes marchini & stancil need to fear for their lives, I am completely serious", just in general, but particularly given apparently that's not a bannable offense on bluesky dot app. more permissive mod policy than kiwifarms on here

Shifting to viewing formalizing a problem in mathematics as a tool for thinking has really made it a lot more appealing and fun

Where the alt-left can be wreckers is in non-electoral action: it owns protest organizing and this is making it impossible to have Israeli- or German-style consensus anti-fascism, and it enjoys suing the state on bullshit grounds that blue state judges humor instead of dismissing.

Sure, but the point is that in the states that mattered, there was no dropoff in turnout - what happened was persuasion, not turnout. The alt-left is better regarded as irrelevant in elections than as either a wrecker force or an important component of the coalition to be reckoned with.

the sacred text

right this guy is literally a national political figure because of being racist about Obama, we have truly come full circle here

Could the snow be completely cleared from the Mass. Ave Bike lanes between Boylston and Westland Ave? @universalhub.com @bikeboston.bsky.social @mass.streetsblog.org @ofsevit.bsky.social @boston.gov @bos311.bsky.social @walkmass.bsky.social @ridebluebikes.bsky.social

the Yang Gang is gone, but not forgotten

Do you people want a human in the loop or not

I think high trust, educated PMC types gotta hand it to the low trust lumpen on the Epstein stuff. They got some of the details wrong but ultimately were right about there being a high level conspiracy of pedophile elites.

Honestly there's a whole thesis to be written on how MAGAcom is just the logical endpoint of always becoming linearly more tankie.

to be fair, you have to have a very long context window to understand norvid_studies tweets; the references to past "thebes tweets" are very subtle, and

Oh wow, who could have foreseen that cynical nihilist conspiracism would have ended up here, what a shocker.

New Journal Club: Neural manifolds are maturing from visualization trick to biological claim. But if population activity lives on low-dimensional manifolds, what constrains the geometry?

So if you want to address political radicalization in Israel, you are, at some point, going to have to deal with the part that a lot of people want to kill or oppress them because they are Jews.

Just because anti-woke polls negative doesn't mean returning to 2015-2020 woke will poll positive. Just sidestep the whole fucking thing if you're not what the anti-wokes charge you with being.

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer. Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!

Thread 6: The Ito Lemma Fyi, a lot of what I'll go over today is covered in Chapter 4 of "Stochastic Methods" by Crispin Gardiner, but this is a pretty standard derivation too, and I explained it in a way I think makes more sense. For today I am going to derive Ito's Lemma for you. (1/n)
