Cosmovore
YouTube video by Ulthar - Topic
www.youtube.com
I should start posting songs from whichever band I'm wearing a shirt of, so here's Ulthar's Cosmovore, Lovecraftian blackened death metal from VA. Chaotic but with good riffs that aren't just mindless technicality that death metal can kind of fall into.

Remember this garbage-ass article I ranted about last week? Looks like Church leaders have similar thoughts (although I could've told you that)

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.

I have no idea why farmers keep getting a pass for water shortages, to the point where popular culture has now found a scapegoat to blame it on entirely, but it fucking sucks

Just randomly remembering asking my mom to take me to Radio Shack to get alligator clips when I was 12 or 13, & how horrified she was that I was smoking weed at such a young age.
I had to tell her no, these were for building a beige box to steal phone service from our neighbors to make prank calls

It’s hard to state the pace of innovation here without having firsthand experience with GPT-3 and now any of the current SOTA LLMs
Okay, three years, sounds like a big deal.
GPT-4o was state of the art three _months_ ago.
None of us truly understands how fast things are happening.

People who already hate AI focusing on the (greatly overblown) environmental impact of AI are giving themselves the permission structure to not examine their own carbon footprint.
Who cares if you're driving everywhere and scarfing down beef? You're a good person for not using AI.

Maybe instead of getting mad and blocking, don’t post an article that doesn’t say what you claim it does?

Got really excited when one of my favorite restaurants (fancy place in a public golf course with fire brisket) was playing Warren G but NOPE it was the original song they sampled from for Regulate

Kind of funny that I left neuroscience only to be eventually sucked into this field
the joy of a nondeterministic black box with a number of different and complicated causes for its behavior, of which there are several variants where you have to guess why they are different
Ok the same model in AI labs doesnt hallucinate like the public facing one does. So they have done *some kind of horse shit* to the prompt that pulls it away from emperical reality.

In order to recover from an ill-advised too-literal telling of the history of dumplings to my toddler (she didn't love all the murdering that happens in the name of empire-building), I started showing her videos of modern Mongolian horseback archery, mostly little kids. She loves it. But now

Olmo 3 is notable as a "fully open" LLM - all of the training data is published, plus complete details on how the training process was run. I tried out the 32B thinking model and the 7B instruct models, + thoughts on why transparent training data is so important simonwillison.net/2025/Nov/22/...

How Trademark Ruined Colorado-Style Pizza
You've heard of New York style, Chicago deep dish, Detroit square pans. But Colorado-style pizza? Probably not. And there's a perfectly ridiculous reason why this regional style never spread beyond a handful of restaurants in the Rocky Mountains: one guy trademarked it and scared everyone else away from making it. This story comes via a fascinating Sporkful podcast episode where reporter Paul Karolyi spent years investigating why Colorado-style pizza remains trapped in obscurity while other regional styles became national phenomena.
