    Imagine that you’re standing on a train and have a baseball. If you throw the ball off the train, the ball will still have momentum in the direction of the train’s movement.

    If you want to throw the ball to a friend the train just passed, you have to be able to throw the ball faster than the train is moving or it will never reach them.

    Fahrenheit literally meant to base the scale with 100 being human body temp.

    It was later rescaled by Cavendish to put the freezing point of water at exactly 32 and boiling point at exactly 212, giving a nicely-divisible 180-degree separation between freezing and boiling. That shift is why body temperature is 98.6.

    Our dachshund picks up and eats all kind of shit. She’s a destroyer of SHOES and CPAP masks, of course, but she also eats rocks, plastic, or whatever else she finds.

    The other day I walk in, and she has 2 milkbones (we don’t buy them and I have no idea where they came from). She just moved them around for a few days and never ate them. But a stick is fine dining.

    Dogs are weird.


  • To help fight bot disinformation, I think there needs to be an international treaty that requires all AI models/bots to disclose themselves as AI when prompted using a set keyphrase in every language, and that API access to the model be contingent on paying regain tests of the phrase (to keep bad actors from simply filtering out that phrase in their requests to the API).

    It wouldn’t stop the nation-state level bad actors, but it would help prevent people without access to their own private LLMs from being able to use them as effectively for disinformation.
