or capable or accomplished or...

is this an injoke cos that's twice this morning I've seen the term on here having never seen it before today lol.

Deadly bombing of Iran primary school ‘a grave violation of humanitarian law’: UNESCO The UN education agency, UNESCO, says that the bombing of a primary school during the US and Israeli military attacks on Iran on Saturday constitutes a grave violation of humanitarian law.

When the target of the much-vaunted “precision weapons” deployed by Israel and its puppet, the US is a girl’s primary school, with 150+ defenceless children massacred, you’re left in no doubt that this is state terrorism and the perpetrators are vile criminals.

To stress... That isn't hyperbole. They're syntax machines, not semantics or pragmatics.

They also do not reason.

The entire point of research/creativity is to reason and convey meaning. They *LLMs will never do that*.

I cant remember where I read it, but basically this idea that 'AI good cos it make good words' is to think that the point of the research/creativity is to create words, not the thinking and meaning that is conveyed.

LLMs *do not process meaning and never will*. They're structurally incapable.

I so hope it's a rad skateboard trick.

I grew up in Kent.

There should be no doubt whatsoever that Reform have 0 interest in kent or it's history. They're complete charlatans, their only interest is using it as ideological battleground.

Campaigning to preserve 'british culture' while doing their best to discard it?

37 is too young to be feeling old for "seeing history repeat itself".

a) that's very clearly about how the country should be run and legislation he would pass into law...not "I believe this for myself".

b) Are you not being self-righteous and anonymous also?

Raul Julia in Street Fighter.

Just an absolutely incredibly good, over the top hammed up performance in an otherwise super mediocre film

The "for bison it was Tuesday" speech is amazing.

INSULINDIAN PHASMID - And when you fall we will come to raise you up, bud from you, banner-like, blossom from you and carry you apart in a sky funeral. In honour of your passing. (But not me, because I am just a leaf eater.)

Vinyl player in motion, Alan Wake 2 soundtrack is playing.

Ahh pure pretention. I delight in my new art space.

Someone needs to look into this suspicious campaign of *checks notes* let's not be horrible to people because they *checks notes* did online advertising more than the complacent incumbents.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Deep irony about AI teaching/learning in universities: the most useful AI skills right now are essentially *people management* skills (for now!) which most academics (myself included) are pretty bad at.

Ooof. Bad GDP trend in the case of total human extinction. This would be bad for the economy.

Good to know the project outcome is either utopia, extinction, or 0.2% growth increase.

Very narrow error on this prediction.

I dont have time for this peeling a kiwi nonsense.

Man people are *really* more disturbed by how I eat a kiwi than is rational.

Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson says Bafta told him ‘any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast’ Davidson said he ‘can’t begin to explain how upset and distraught I have been’ over slurs he shouted during the award ceremony

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.

YouTube video by Lessons With Marcel Nintendo Makes Bluegrass Music? - Zelda Fiddle Tunes

Oh and in terms of "crossovers that many people didn't realise where crossovers" there's always Tony Rice's version of Streets of London.

Also maybe of interest - my guitar teacher made this video ages back that I love to pieces - youtu.be/QRvUXGNJTzY

going the other way.... Any modern version of a Carter Family Song, those have had a lot of life outside of oldtime.

It's wild to me that the "Cups song" (When I'm Gone) that anna Kendrick sang in pitch perfect was written by this group in the 1930s.

There's so many bluegrass cross overs these days. Big fan of I'm on Fire by Town Mountain or Rocket Man by Iron Horse - youtu.be/WdAyO1_0noM

There is always Steve 'n' Seagulls for....bluegrass (inspired) covers of classic hard rock and metal, but the above are much 'truer' bluegrass arrangements.

This reminds me of a Bosnian folk gig I went to last year. They play a few of those tunes you hear all over europe, and then a few songs that everyone knew as 'classic folk songs' in things like 9/8 but divided into 3 sets of 2 followed by a 3 in crazy minor modes.

Hmm the addition of one extra hole renders underpants into the singular, underpant.

Logically, this means that either humanity or lack of a tail is a requisite of being plural.

There's something about this example I particularly love yet can't verbalise.

I think it's because this sort of brazenly bass ackward inference (outference?) is something I've seen....echos of... at the very least.

"if we assume we had done only one comparison"

The most flagrant case of false advertising since The Never Ending Story
