There are 5 times as many trans people in America as there are whyomingans.

This is my favorite part of the old web.

Yeah, that’s why I brought it up, Meta is kind of a shit company.

No, mostly just regular posts, meta just decided that being trans is “political”.

I have seen trans creators in IG reporting that they are being filtered by this setting, so that’s not great.

Shouldn’t this start with 3.5 billion years Ago: TNG All Good Things…?

An actual chronological edit of all star trek would be fun, opens with two scenes of Picard yelling at Q in the mud, jump forward to data hanging out with Mark Twain, then the Guardian of forever and Enterprise fighting Time travelers in WW2. then you have the DS9 Crew messing around in Roswell NM, then the events of the Journey Home.

I’m probably missing a few.

This time it might actually be a coincidence, someone at the political bureau tried to pick the closest number to 100 that wouldn’t look made up, 73 they were promptly excited for sedition my their boss who added 3 to the number and routed it to his boss,. Repeat the process 5 times and there you go “88”.

Yes, a large portion of the episode takes place in the towers.

It’s a great book if you can get past that to the first line of the book.

It’s not the earliest episode I saw, but it is on that definitely dates you if you saw it on TV, they haven’t had it in syndication for 23 years.

“We are all susceptible to the pull of viral ideas. Like mass hysteria. Or a tune that gets into your head that you keep humming all day until you spread it to someone else. Jokes. Urban legends. Crackpot religions. Marxism. No matter how smart we get, there is always this deep irrational part that makes us potential hosts for self-replicating information.” ― Neal Stephenson, Snow Crash

I saw “The City of New York vs. Homer Simpson” on TV.

Discovery season 4 once they get outside the galaxy, is amazing, seeking out new life and new civilization, discovering a novel method of communication, and solving a galaxy spanning threat by talking.

Yes very human readable. All the “benefits” blockchain are in a properly managed database, but the database takes about the power of 3 or 4 lightbulbs to manage, the Blockchain takes as much power as Ireland.

AGI Artificial General Intelligence doesn’t exist that is what people think of in sci-fi like Data or Hal. LLM or Large Language Models like CHAT GPT are the hallucinating chat bots, they are just more convincing than the previous generations. There are lots of other AI models that have been used for years to solve large data problems.

Never get involved in a land war in Asia, never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line, and never fuck with AMERICA’S BOATS!

NFTs aren’t the solution to this, public read access to the database is.

A LLM is terrible for molecular analysis, AI can be used but not LLM.

So does English, in Russian Putin’s name is Путин.

Not the guillotine news I was expecting in 2024, but I’ll take it.
