So…

Everyone ok with “Poochie”?

I think you can use home kit ones locally… which really broadens your options

Strictly speaking, does the law say he can’t run, or can’t be elected again?

Trump posted many times about this when Obama was president.

I’ve always thought that I’d make an exceptional professional in the field of medicine.

The only thing really holding me back is my unfathomable depth of ignorance regarding the human body, or health in general.

At one point in my life, I believed that to be a deal breaker. Cheers, RFK Jr.

I mean, yes…

But at 1/30,000 , they should say “get the second test… but be SUPER CAREFUL on the drive”, since at 1/30000 you’re still an order of magnitude more likely to die in an MVA.

I’d even be interested in a parent of a 5 year old who’s been at daycare for 4 years.

It’s my suspicion that a second, later-in-life battering of a person with respiratory illnesses is in some part responsible for the longer average lifespan of parents. I expect the effect would be more pronounced if somehow parenting didn’t come with all the anxiety and stress, which I expect is a negative pressure on average lifespan.

… what… oh…

Ohh…

Considering how trivial it is to build, and the plethora of working examples on github, I expect anyone is one chatgpt prompt away from running afoul of this.

I can do it for Mega Crit. Very few others. Klei I’d do as well.

I’m fine with arbitrary units but I demand a rigorous justification of the error methodology

Why would it?

This pattern has existed since before Trump in that district. Leans right at federal level, leans left at state level.

Assumption is slowly sliding more right at the federal level… but also sliding more right at the state level. At 38% of the vote Daigle had the best republican showing in 20 years.

This result isn’t a directional divergence. That would maybe raise an eyebrow.

For iberville and assumption, in the presidential elections, support between R and D has moved within bounds of like, 2%, for the last 3 presidential elections.

In that same time frame, the maximum support a republican candidate for the 60th house of representatives has been 18.8%. Not margin, TOTAL.

Don’t get me wrong. It’s not bad news. But the reality of this outcome in this district is “No material shift in voting patterns in area over the last 20 years”.

Take the wins where you can get them, but it’s worth noting the vacated seat was held by a Democrat. This isn’t a flip. The district traditionally learns blue at the local/state level, as per the article.

Not trying to rain on anyone’s parade, but the “oh my god those backwards Louisiana hicks actually voted for a Democrat?!” Narrative is needlessly divisive and kinda shitty. That district has been for years.

I think I understand your point now.

I still would want to apply pressure to it, because i disagree with the spirit of your assessment.

Once a model is trained, they become functionally opaque. Weights shift… but WHY. What does that vector MEAN.

I think wrenches are good. Will a 12mm wrench fit a 12mm bolt? Yes.

In LLM bizarre world, the answer to everything is not “yes” or “no”, it’s “maybe, maybe not, within statistical bounds… try it… maybe it will… maybe it won’t… and by the way just because it fit yesterday is no guarantee it will fit again tomorrow… and I actually can’t definitively tell you why that is for this particular wrench”

LLMs do something, and I agree they do that something well. I further agree with the spirit of most of the rest of your analysis: abstraction layers are doing a lot of heavy lifting.

I think where I fundamentally disagree is that “they do what they say they do” by any definition beyond the simple tautology that everything is what it is.

Yeah. You vibe with the OT but not so much with the NT?

That’s fine. Just be Jewish.

Hence my attempt to give you the space to provide clarity.

For me, this isn’t a pissing contest. I’m trying to provide you with the latitude to clarify your position. I’ll be honest, I didn’t appreciate your condescending lecture on the english language.

I love that humans are inclined to anthropamorphize things. A door can’t be sad. A street can’t be lonely. The moon can’t be wistful. The ocean can’t be angry.

But they can… in our heads. And that’s real for us.

I think that, at least at a societal level, this part of the human condition has been mostly benign. Just a little bit of spice.

LLMs seem to have short circuited that part in our brains. We can’t even describe errata of a system without anthropamorphizing it
