Number 1 that’s black beans. Number 2 the punchline is “i dunno but I’ve never paid $20 to have a garbanzo bean on my face”. Number 3 I won’t allow my go to joke to be stolen by these fascist goons!

99 in Berkeley right now. My house was built in like 1928 and since we rent obviously there’s been no energy efficient updating of insulation or anything like that since maybe the 60s. It’s like 94 inside right now. Sitting in front of multiple fans just blowing hot air at me this is the life y’all.

I’m not sure if this is an Oscar reference or a Zizek reference and either way I’m here for it.

I have 3 friends that I play Civ V with weekly, in person LAN parties maybe once or twice a year. Civ 6 never caught on and I’m the youngest in the group (at 39) so I just went with it. But going by the principle that odd number Civs are good we are excited for 2025.

Can you explain more? Don’t leave me hanging…

Ahhh is that it? For whatever reason firefox mobile seems to not respect my general android setting and it won’t seem to turn off. But in any case, my apologies to the webmaster.

Sounds like something a neonatal cannibal would say ;)

What in the everloving fuck kind of color scheme is this unreadable nonsense?

Major Kovalyov: “Am I a joke to you?”

Oh interesting I’ll tell my wife. I still continually deal with the unibrow myself. But high quality microblading is way different than normal tattooing esp in the appearance of texture, it’s quite amazing. Also pretty freaking expensive.

In the early 2000s plucking and waxing your brows to really really thin was fashionable, esp in certain places. Then people realized it is dumb but if you are around 40 now it was too late. So microblading helps you not look like a MadTV sketch. Source: my wife turns 40 this year, grew up in a particularly hood area of the sf bay area, and from 30 onwards really regretted plucking her eyebrows to almost nothing.

Dr bronners for skin and hair (I have very thick indian hair in jata style dreadlocks down to my knees). For a long time I used a charcoal based face wash (lush until they changed their formula for coal face, then some similar brand I found on amazon) but for whatever odd reason after a few years my skin stopped tolerating it and kept breaking out, so I switched to Kate Somerville’s sulfur face wash which works wonders (but does have a bit of a smell to it unfortunately).

And now I’m wondering in the -ihkal suffix is known outside the Shulgin fanbase…

Toilet paper I have known and loved?

Did you just post your open ai api key on the internet?

I think that is overly simplistic. Embeddings used for LLMs do definitely include a concept of what things mean and the relationship of things to other things.

E.g., compare the embeddings of Paris, Athens, and London to other cities and they will have small cosine distance between them. Compare France, Greece, and England and same. Then very interestingly, look at Paris - France, Athens - Greece, London - England and you’ll find the resulting vectors all align (fundamentally the vector operation seems to account for the relationship “is the capital of”). Then go a step further, compare those vector to Paris - US, Athens - US, London - Canada. You’ll see the previous set are not aligned with these nearly as much but these are aligned with each other (relationship being something like “is a smaller city in this countrry, named after a famous city in some other country”)

The way attention works there is a whole bunch of semantic meaning baked into embeddings, and by comparing embeddings you can get to pragmatic meaning as well.

Sorry missed these comments before but I’d HIGHLY recommend reading The Human Condition, great work that goes into the different types of human activity (labor, work, and action)
