LLMs predict what can be predicted given their training data. That's fine for some applications but for others the part that can't be predicted is the whole point

COMMENTARY: Alaska writer Erica Watson reflects on the Alaska LNG project through her personal archive in a commentary for the @alaskabeacon.com alaskabeacon.com/2026/05/20/a...

The best to ever do it

My representative, everyone 🤮

I feel I should alert Bluesky to the baby foxes in our yard

Babby’s first testimony to the legislature! I testified that the revisions to the AK LNG pipeline bill SB208 are an improvement but if the project doesn’t work without subsidies then it doesn’t work. (Link starts with my 2 min) www.ktoo.org/gavel/video/...

Opened this thread to post "we already have neo-andean architecture" but I've already been beaten to it at least twice

Ground clearance? 4 wheel drive? No thanks, those cost money.

The example is terrible but this case is more or less a solved problem. For inverse problems where the forward model is known but lossy, (like colorization), you can apply data fidelity constraints. No guarantee the colors are correct but a B&W > color > B&W round trip would at least be consistent

Shortly after the Trump 2 inauguration I went to an organizer training event. One of the main goals was clearly to get the attendees used to the idea of seeking, holding, and using power. It was clearly necessary too, some of the us had a "power corrupts, better to avoid it" type attitude going in

If you were homeschooled, please take this survey about how your experience impacted outcomes afterwards! And share widely--CRHE is trying to get 1,000 participants. siucpsyc.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

THREAD: The IEA global energy review 2026 * CO2 record high, but growth nearly ground to halt * Clean energy shaved 3bn tonnes off CO2 * Fossil-fuel power pushed into reverse * Age of Electricity "confirmed" * "Extraordinary" solar growth * Batteries up 40% * EVs up 20% 1/10

I’m holding the Senate floor tonight in protest of legislation that would allow a copper-nickel sulfide mine on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters. Not this mine. Not this place.

Last tracks of the season (probably. There’s rain in the forecast)

Orban achieved a level of authoritarian consolidation unthinkable here and they still successfully got rid of him. Never let the doomers have the final say.

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.

Frankly, Orban should be grateful JD didn’t “Pope Francis” him iykwim

JD my man never thought this day would come but thank you bro great help great success

OTD: April 4, 1865: President Lincoln (accompanied by his son Tad) visited Richmond, Virginia, the Confederate capital that Union troops captured the day before. Liberated slaves hailed him in the burnt out streets. Lincoln went to the White House of the Confederacy which Jefferson Davis had fled.

IMO it's letting the current hype crash & burn, people actually doing interesting stuff with LLMs continue doing them w/o fanfare, and after things have died down if something actually good deserves mainstreaming you either rebrand it (if it's Too Soon) or go "this isn't your grandma's LLM" (if not)

found some of that good ass hi-res 1999 shit. these are the pictures that would be on the wall at subway if subway were about computer

A bit of my speech at #nokings Healy Alaska! ~44 out of 1000 residents showed up in a Trump-voting area. 🎥: @emma-r-b.bsky.social

The small town of Healy, Alaska showed up today with a lot of heart. 💙

The sun is strong enough to melt ice. No, literally, check out that little melty bit in the road. Felt like sunbathing after the last 4 months. But figuratively too. #nokings, Healy, Alaska

The 1973 (re-released 1993) Alaska Pipeline: The Energy Crisis Game was a pro-pipeline propaganda board game, albeit with one extremely silly card that made me buy a copy a few years back. I would wear this on a shirt. #alaskahistory #alaska

Oooor we could join the ICC ourselves like a civilized country and extradite their asses

One of the things I've been thinking as we endure the Trump presidency is that we should grant reparations to the nations we've wronged.

Okay hear me out: we make a new Strait of Hormuz
