Today on Veteran’s Day I want to honor my half-sister who served 8 years as enlisted in marine aviation, medically retired after an injury in infantry school, rehabbed, completed college and OCS, and is scheduled to graduate from Pensacola aviation if the government ever reopens. Semper Fi sis.

Had dinner last night at Cured in San Antonio. It was a slow night and I was seated at the chefs bar so I got to have a nice convo with Steve McHugh and discovered several common connections in Oxford Mississippi, New Orleans, and Minneapolis. Truly a small world.

It’s really depressing to hear Bill Gates on TV apparently not understanding what a large learning model (AI) can and cannot do. Huge piles of expensive horseshit being foisted on the world because billionaires don’t understand the difference between pattern recognition and prediction.
