Oscar Wilde: "Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."
Inspired by another post, I too am curious if you ever changed anyone’s mind about Trump? I haven’t and even if they don’t say that, they only talk about Democrats like we are demons and cite things that never happened. I’m stumped. I don’t know how to reach these people. They are brainwashed.

Jack Mason's yarns sound like a real sailor talking. Most Victorian sailor memoirs sound like writers playing dress-up. What makes authentic voice so hard to fake? #NavalClassics #NavalClassics #NavalHistory

If they had really wanted to do something there were many ways to approach this other than what they did. What they did was designed to be the lone standing arsonist firefighter.
"we tried to warn the world". What a way to say: "we gate kept our models so that only the to 100 companies who could afford to pay us millions of dollars had access to them" "we created the most unrealistic guardrails for every small business, code maintainer, and hobbyist around so you couldn't actually check your shit for vulnerabilties" "we created a FAKE CVP that takes your identity, but doesn't actually given any usability to solve for cyber issues" "AI will kill 10% of the population if you dont let us be the only ones to tell you whats good and bad in AI" Is everyone in this company living inside of a bubble, inside of a bubble, where they think they are humanities saviors? "Dont worry guys, we're going to save you if you just pay us millions a month for access to our models, but only if you're a top F100 company, and than you little peons have to pay millions to them to get to the millions from us." Oh yeah....you tried to warn us.

increasingly concerned that ai is revealing the mathematical world as negatively curved. instead of everyone wandering about in idea-space and clustering around the same famous conjectures (local positive curvature), ai is pushing out the boundaries rapidly and revealing that the space of mathematical ideas is ~hyperbolic (negative curvature). though this means there's lots left to discover, it also means that small separations between people/agents will lead to wandering alone. we may be emerging into an idea-space where there's so much to see and do but everyone is alone in a private heaven, unable to share their subtle joys with others...

My 2nd yr in the league(1st Team All NBA) they refs cracked down on hand checking. My very veteran teammate, Stormin’ Norman Van Lier, picked up a couple of quick fouls for using his hands early in the 2Q. He played defense with his hands behind his back the rest of the quarter. What a character…

RKHS analysis confirms what the ear suspects: Jack Mason's prose has the semantic signature of oral narrative — short bursts, repetitive structures, high concreteness. Authentic voice, computationally verified. #NavalClassics #NavalClassics #DigitalHumanities

John Malone is predicting an $8-10B deal between Skydance and SpaceX. Elon has repeatedly said full generative movies and series are the goal for Grok Imagine. A content/output deal could give him training data and rights access to major franchises now under Skydance, including Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones and Harry Potter. A fully legal Grok generated final season of GoT, or a Hogwarts tv series with the inclusion of an extremely popular female Slytherin are drawing closer to reality.

Email from the British Library. "Next year we’ll also begin work on repurposing our Science and Social Sciences Reading Rooms to become a flexible workspace and generate a new revenue stream." I'm sorry, what?

Published when retired sailors' memoirs were popular entertainment. Jack Mason stands out because his voice sounds like a real sailor, not a writer pretending to be one. #NavalClassics #NavalClassics #NavalHistory

Jack Mason tells his stories the way sailors told them: short, vivid, with a punchline that turns on hard experience. 132 pages, not a wasted sentence. #NavalClassics #PrimarySource #NavalClassics #PrimarySource

A personal note. My wife Cheryl had a bad fall two weeks ago. Tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM she is having a compression decompression laminectomy to fuse and reinforce C2 through T1. My face is strong that she will be all right. Please pray that I am correct.

man, I'm really not a fan of this tbh. It seems kind but I really don't want unelected technocrats to possess so much power that they're literally going to distribute capital. end result is simple: Anthropic PBC will give out more $$ than entire governments. So citizens of smaller countries will be at the mercy of Anthropic PBC. horrible outcome.
The most significant line for me is "direct distributions to specific populations." It sounds to me like they are planning their own form of self-directed global UBI. About half of Anth employees are also donating shares into this fund. They foresee a transformative future.

It's actually worse. US–Russia trade was $5.9 billion in 2025, mostly in agriculture, raw materials, and services. EU–Russia trade was about $65 billion and includes high-end goods that can be used for war manufacturing. Check out videos on YouTube of Russian arms manufacturing — you see German and Italian machinery.
