Pretty small sample size to be fair though
Everyone into politics knew Roe was at risk when RBG was replaced by ACB. Those real danger is those courts gutting voting rights (they already have in very real frightening ways). That happened because Clinton lost to Trump. Let’s try to win some elections rather than attacking allies
Are you a human being?
Nobody’s right to vote is at risk. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez even pointed out that this bill is DOA in the Senate when justifying her vote. Her rural constituents support shit like this, and she has to win so she vote for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker in 2027 so bills like this don’t get a vote at all
Okay maybe this one is better? You should go outside though
First of all, I agree it’s a bad bill. But probably he views it as a low cost way to appear bipartisan for his rural Maine constituents so he can win in 2026 and help give Jeffries the speaker’s gavel
Don’t know. Genetics? Lifestyle? I took a selfie for my Bluesky profile and this is how it turned out. It’s not the best picture I’ve ever taken
That is what I look like 🤷🤷
It won't pass the Senate. It's a dead bill
A lot of online chatter yesterday (from MAGA people) about buying the dip. How’s that working out today?
Feels like the refs have money on the #Lakers to beat the #Timberwolves tonight. Awful to watch. Ant gonna be suspended for a game for no reason
Something unfortunate has happened to @radiok.bsky.social lately — Rocket From the Crypt, Fugazi, Jawbox… Do we really need a GenX nostalgia station? We already have the Current after all
That could have done with a lot more SZA
The real immigrant taking jobs
End the legislative filibuster the second the Dems next control the Senate. Until then, always vote for cloture no matter how much you disagree with the bill. The American people deserve to their voices listened to by Congress and to have their preferences acted upon
Is there anyone who is *actually* bothered by affinity groups at work? Like the ones where, say, Asian Americans go have lunch together once a month? And do some networking and mentorship and such? Why does the Trump administration feel threatened enough by them to ban them from the government?
A friend of mine is a medical researcher and there was a big morning meeting today telling everyone to lock down all their social media and move all their communications to encrypted platforms in order to avoid being targeted by the government. Thanks for all this freedom, Trump voters!
I know my dad hasn't seen any of this because none of it is anywhere to be found on FoxNews.com, and I'm guessing none of it is being shown on their TV channel.
A tough Sunday #crossword puzzle from the New York Times today! Don't think I've ever seen a 0% like this on XWStats. (I was 56% slower than my usual.)
Someone on Reddit asked what would happen if you were suddenly teleported to a neutron star's surface. I did the math, and given my size, my body would collapse and slam into the surface within a millionth of a second with the force of an atomic bomb. This is the kind of physics they should teach
Stephen Miller has never experienced joy
Visiting Tucson today. Great bike infrastructure in places but will never be a good bike town because everything is so far apart. Great place to be a recreational cyclist though!
6/6 In higher dimensional space there is just a lot more room than there is in our 3-d world. All that extra space is used to encode a lot more information about the relationships between concepts than you might think possible.
I wish I had enough time to study this more!
5/6 But this explains how an AI model can hold so many distinct concepts in a space that seems too "small". I've wondered about how so many relationships can be understood within these large language models -- the dimensionality is huge but still seems super inadequate.
4/6 And it reminds me that there are things that I will likely never be able to even conceptualize. I wonder if in the future humans will be able to connect their brains to computers and gain some intuition about this. Or maybe there are extremely smart people that already can? It seems unlikely.
3/6 This effect increases and grows exponentially as you add more and more dimensions. So, once you're into 100s of dimensions you can have thousands or maybe even millions of vectors that are all mutually "almost orthogonal". This contradicts every instinct I have as resident of a 3-d world.
2/6 ...you can wiggle things a bit but you still can have only three pairs. This is still the case in 4, 5, 6-dimensional space. But if you start adding more dimensions, something strange starts to happen. You start to be able to sneak in more "almost orthogonal" vectors.
1/6 I've been reading a bit on the math involved in language models / AI and I learned something that blew my mind. In 3 dimensions you can have 3 lines which are mutually orthogonal. If you say "almost orthogonal" (>89 degrees, say) that doesn't change much...
Thanks for this thrilling analysis
I could cite something but I have a feeling you’re not here to learn something
