Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

Pan @endless-summer.bsky.social · 1d

i think about this all the time

Pan @endless-summer.bsky.social · 1d

i dont mean this as a snarky "youre dumb for not realizing this" thing, i mean you should just think about it more often before posting for your own sake. the real solution to this is private accounts but for some reason those havent happened yet lol

moderation tools arent the same thing as generative stuff but if youre uncomfortable with some piece of data being used to train generative stuff (or for any other purpose you can imagine) you should probably not be posting it on the platform with built-in whole-network scraping

remember to save often

thinking about how The Dillinger Escape Plan had a single day to mix Calculating Infinity and their bassist (who had recently been paralyzed and didnt have good control of his hands) threw a sauce packet which hit the computers reset button and couldve destroyed all their work

What’s the craziest thing that happened in the studio?

Doll: I almost single-handedly destroyed an entire day’s worth of mixing. You get the bunch of us in a room together and it’s like we’re seven years old.

Weinman: We had one day to mix the whole record. Adam was hanging out in the studio with us and he didn’t have much control over his hands at all at the time. He threw a packet of barbeque sauce from some fast food we ordered—it flew across the room at lightning speed and the corner of the packet hit the reset button on the computer. It shut down the entire computer, restarted it right in the middle of the mixdown, and Steve didn’t know when he had saved last. Dude, I almost rolled him into traffic. It turned out he saved about 15 minutes before and we lost a little bit of work.

Minakakis: Yeah, it mysteriously made a right-angle turn in mid-air and restarted the computer. Everyone just got quiet and looked at each other because Steve couldn’t remember when he saved last. Actually, it was me and Adam fucking around. I was facing where he was in his wheelchair. I said something smart to him, he threw it, some magnetic force took the packet and it made some sort of JFK mid-air bullet-turn, and it hit the computer. We both knew what happened and I was kinda like, “Uhhhh . . . ” and Adam was just like, “Yeah, it was me.” The coincidence was amazing, especially when you’d probably miss this button 999 times out of 1,000 if you were deliberately throwing at it.

Benoit: Seriously, that was insane! How, especially with Adam throwing it, did that thing hit a frickin’ button a quarter of an inch in diameter?! Evetts, being Evetts, started freaking out: “What the fuck?! What the fuck was that?!” That seriously took the cake.

new blog post! why do LLMs freak out over the seahorse emoji? i put llama-3.3-70b through its paces with the logit lens to find out, and explain what the logit lens (everyone's favorite underrated interpretability tool) is in the process.

link in reply!

A Reddit post from r/ChatGPT titled "ChatGPT and Weed?" the post reads "Has anyone else get high and then ask ChatGPT question? My mental reactions are crazy!!!"

this kind of thing is at least understandable to me when its a singleplayer game that you eventually finish, but im still trying to figure out why people boot up a game and play ranked mode matches every day even when they clearly hate it, seen this happen too many times

i know very little about law but wouldnt this be related to stuff like textualism vs purposivism? ive definitely heard people make this distinction under different names so id be surprised at law students finding it difficult, idk about that stuff though
