@killjamesbond.bsky.social i don't know if this is the place to submit suggestions but can I rec Damn Yankees (1958) for religion season? fantastic foppish satan portrayal by Ray Walston, Gwen Verdon stealing the show as a succubus, Bob Fosse choreography, and a plot that is VERY not about 9/11

oh why is this a quote skeet i meant it to be a reskeet sorry

Could a computer do THIS?

This stuff is so sad. It should not be up to a private organization to make sure we don't have lead in our food.

i think this is sort of complex. e.g., it appears that in some cases, addition is done by counting rotations on a helix. this representation really does addition, and you can distinguish it meaningfully from "pretending" to do addition. but the model also sometimes "pretends" to do addition!

i agree, not because i hate ai or think its bad or whatever, but because it looks ass. it rarely communicates more than prompt. semantically it’s like 2x2 resolution, waste of space

A line chart titled “Accuracy vs. Sparsity (Iterative Magnitude Pruning)” showing model accuracy as weights are pruned. The x-axis represents sparsity from 0% to 100%, and the y-axis represents accuracy from 0% to 100%. A blue line with circular markers shows that accuracy stays around 80% from 0% to roughly 90% sparsity, then drops sharply toward 55% near 100% sparsity. A dashed red horizontal line labeled “80% target” runs across the chart near 80% accuracy, indicating the desired baseline.

I posted this last night cause I kind of wanted to bury it. I got cold feet about putting it out there.

The subject is WHY neural networks work, and I think the answer I offer is kind of interesting. Maybe even a little correct, possibly.

my bsky has been radically improved by following more trans men. science has yet to discover any way to increase my number of mid-scrolling "hell yeah guys being dudes" moments nearly as efficiently

fire emblem awakening is woke because "marth" is voiced by a woman for some reason 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐 surely there are no plot relevant reasons this has occurred multiple times in the series, the only possible explanation is dei

this is not how words work in english

"Final Fantasy before the sci-fi elements started creeping in" The strongest enemy in Final Fantasy (1987)- even stronger than the final boss Chaos- was a fully automated death robot you can find in the orbital space station you go to.

"I spoke to the governor, she was very nice," Trump said. "But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...it looks like terrible."

I used to have to argue with people that the worst impact of misinformation was not really felt through public consumption but through elite consumption but I think it's as clear as it can get now.

What will poor Eric Adams do for work?

According to standard accounts, which can be traced to Pasteur's collaborator Emile Duclaux, an attenuated strain of the chicken cholera microbe—in a word, a "vaccine" against the disease—emerged only because Pasteur's collaborators forgot or neglected his instructions to recultivate the microbe at short intervals during a summer vacation that he spent, as usual, at the familial home in Arbois As the cultures sat on the shelf unattended, they underwent attenuation and proved to induce immunity against chicken cholera when injected into experimental animals 42 By this account, a lack of diligence during a summer vacation was thus a major factor in the discovery of the first laboratory-produced vaccine, the only other vaccine at the time being the naturally occurring cowpox virus that Jenner had deployed against smallpox Unfortunately for advocates of serendipity, Antonio Cadeddu has recently destroyed this appealing legend by analyzing Pasteur's notebooks from the time Cadeddu shows that the chicken cholera vaccine did not emerge "by accident" at all, but rather was the product of a prolonged, complex, and quite deliberate program of research undertaken by Emile Roux without Pasteur's knowledge 43 Perhaps that is why Duclaux's version of the story does not appear in Pasteur's quasiautobiography of 1883, which elsewhere reveals his willingness to indulge such popular stories of the path to his discoveries 44

TIL the anecdote that Pasteur accidentally discovered an effective chicken cholera vaccine was probably made up, and the soured broth actually resulted from lots of work by his assistant Emile Roux.

Bad Trump Truth Social post reading Pregnant Women, DON’T USE TYLENOL UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, DON’T GIVE TYLENOL TO YOUR YOUNG CHILD FOR VIRTUALLY ANY REASON, BREAK UP THE MMR SHOT INTO THREE TOTALLY SEPARATE SHOTS (NOT MIXED!), TAKE CHICKEN P SHOT SEPARATELY, TAKE HEPATITAS B SHOT AT 12 YEARS OLD, OR OLDER, AND, IMPORTANTLY, TAKE VACCINE IN 5 SEPARATE MEDICAL VISITS!

Many miles away from the most notable thing about this garbage, but, [overpronouncing Spanish word voice] HEPATITAS

america's biggest cultural failure is the lack of a widespread "green sauce" to pair with our very respectable yellow, red, and white sauces

Steve Gatewood, Facebook: some dudes in the lunch room today were talking about Charlie Kirk and must have noticed me listening and one asked "what do you think of all this charlie kirk stuff" and I was like "oh idk I never heard of her" and he said "him" and I said "oh great another liberal obsessed with pronouns" and he said "HAH I'M FAR FROM LIBERAL BUDDY" and I said "sure you are go tell it to your furry club" and pointed at the Ohio State buckeyes mascot on his shirt and I'm pretty sure he believed in political violence for a second.

Extremely cool stuff here

Increasingly the ONLY way we will see justice in the years ahead is widespread jury nullification. Learn your rights for when you are called for jury duty and if you can afford it do your best to get on a jury.

If it shouldn’t be a crime they shouldn’t do the time.

Trump Is Shutting Down the War On Cancer

one of the most interesting facts about russ vought’s life, to me, is that NIH research is the reason his daughter had access to life changing drug to treat her cystic fibrosis. vought, of course, is the architect of the administration’s war on science. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/14/m...
