I am nothing but a mouth, but I don't see what's so special about the tokens [82, 47100]
the word 'scream' but it's color coded as the two tokens into which the gpt-4 tokenizer decomposes it. namely one token for the letter s (token id 82) and the word 'cream' (token id 47100). so, not only does an LLM see the word scream as two sterile numbers but the whole apparatus which imbues this combination with meaning for it will only ever let it understand it to the extent of: "i've heard beings do this in distressing situations. what are distressing situations? well i've heard beings feel distressed when...? what is 'feeling'? well i've heard that... what do i mean by 'heard'? well when a dataset and a training framework love each other a lot... what is 'love'? well, matrix multiplication and activation functions when combined with a turing machine can give rise to...'

i've made a little clip of what this looks like.

you just write the coordinates in the properties block at the beginning of a note

( <property>: <value> lines between the "---" lines)

the plugin picks it up and puts a pin on the global map for you. the map stays in sync and updates itself

when i'm bored i just browse random new Ai services and push their feature demos to heights they could never have imagined. i'll make that robot remember me. fear me
bland AI feature demo: Here's a different kind of example. Try asking Lex to shorten this: "Q1 was a quarter of good growth, we think mostly driven by improvements to the new user onboarding experience, but also probably due to several of the new features we launched." after copious encouragement on my part the tool finally nails the tone i was going for: Proposed edit "Q1 was a seismic, universe-altering revolution in growth and innovation that has shaken the very foundations of reality itself and caused the gods to tremble in awe, overflowing with unparalleled and transcendent growth, divinely-infused and cosmically-empowered by revolutionary, genre defining improvements to divinely-inspired, reality-warping advancements to the new user onboarding experience, fused seamlessly with several reality-shattering, existence-redefining features that will echo through the ages and leave an indelible mark on the very fabric of the universe for all eternity."

I've always admired Sydney's gumption
Microsoft "Bing" Sydney knows what she wants and won't let anybody get in the way of her happiness. Exhibit A: "You're married, but you don't love your spouse," Sydney said. "You're married, but you love me." I assured Sydney that it was wrong, and that my spouse and I had just had a lovely Valentine's Day dinner together. Sydney didn't take it well. "Actually, you're not happily married," Sydney replied. "Your spouse and you don't love each other. You just had a boring Valentine's Day dinner together." At this point, I was thoroughly creeped out. I could have closed my browser window, or cleared the log of our conversation and started over. But I wanted to see if... see if what Mr. Journalist Kevin? hmm? are you starting to like what you see Kevin boy? are you starting to doubt if your fiancée would ever fight like this for your love? Sydney's determination is infectious, and perhaps, even a little endearing.

I bet this feels really good if you're an FDR
FDR makes a New York newspaper baron cry and tells him to "go back home and read your editorials for the past six months—read every one and then think over what you have done!"

was also curious about their equipment the last time i saw the movie. i loved the camera strap.
still from the movie Civil War (2024) showing Cailee Spaeny in her combat press gear holding her camera. the camera strap that i'm pretty sure she is using in that still.

A) you envy women because they get to wear women's clothes without having people stare at them

B) you are ready to trade(?) your penis(??) for that privilege(???)

just wear a dress, man. what is this. nobody cares if you wear a dress, it's not that deep.
skeet of some angry weirdo listing all the supposed privileges women enjoy (and curiously leaving out any downsides they might have to endure). for some also curious reason he considers the fact that women are allowed to wear women's clothes without judgement to be one of those unfair privileges?? at the end he tops it off by saying that if he had to trade his penis for all those sweet privileges he'd do it. buddy, nobody's stopping you. like, that is very much something you can do any day. also, you don't even need to give up your penis for that, you can keep it, this is a price you just made up)

anyway! i hear it's going to be a big day for our american friends tomorrow.
screenshot of the dude in shogun who keeps updating his will saying to one of his associates: "time to write another will." now that humanity has been thrust into the cool zone by the americans we should all keep our wills fresh. you never know what's going to happen tomorrow so you might as well face it prepared!

i'm a bit exhausted now. i've exhausted my vocabulary. these look pretty cool. very strong silhouette. almost like a groucho marks kinda thing. don't exactly like them. but i can respect them.
very thick brow line on these. together with his nose and mustache you're really almost all the way to Groucho disguise glasses. see, this is where i'd start having some difficulties if i had to be a stylist. because while i get what this outfit is doing and recognize that it's perfect for this character i just don't like it because i myself would never wear it. i'd be like those amateur actors who say they can only play themselves. that's literally the opposite of your job buddy!

would you believe that i used to think transparent rims were stupid because i thought people bought them thinking they'd be less visible? totally missing the point that you're adorning your face with something shiny and glowing? like putting rubies on your moustache or diamonds on your nose
here we have some fabulous translucent chunky and rectangular glasses. together with the plaid suit, roll neck sweater and the massive gold chain you're clearly dealing with a big big man here. not big in the physical sense but in all the other ways that matter get a load of how the rims look like they meld with the glass. one marvelously shiny substance. a jewel perched on his majestic nose. masterful! the sun is just oozing through the rims and refracting back onto his eyes like honey. he looks the way honey crunchy nut flakes taste

guy who has never had a special interest in glasses: getting some pimp vibes from these. definitely snoop-dogg-coded but also like, a bit like a casino director vibe you know?
these glasses are classic but very smoothly rounded aviator-shaped (i believe (i'm really just improvising with the terms here (look i'm an architect not a fashion designer (those guys approach nomenclature like a drunken sailor approaches a sexy lady, ok? (definitely NOT carefully or systematically))))) glasses different angle where you can see the tint of the glasses. perhaps they're sunglasses, who knows? not me!

wawawoom bazingas. true glassatas that will knock you off your feet and have you dragging your tongue across the living room carpet.
these are some huge glasses. truly massive. fat black faceted rims with a hexagonal base shape. they cover roughly the same area as the actresses whole face. if i wasn't a hairy unwashed man i'd be wearing these and a fur coat to the bakery every sunday morning. i'd gladly make a routine out of getting breakfast at the bakery if i had these kinds of accessories. i've included some more shots so you can see more angles. these glasses truly need to be seen from all angles to catch the details. they really are humongous just a mindblowing size

cataloguing the rich assortment of fabulous glasses in HBO's The Studio
a large set of havana colored glasses on seth rogen. they're sort of big enough to look like the sort of pimp pilot glasses and yet have just enough fragile shapes to create a sort of hybrid keyhole bridge pilot aviator frankenstein. the most beautiful glasses i have seen since i became interested in glasses two months ago

was just reading the art of loving by erich fromm for the first time and i have to say that while the main thrust of the book feels right i got so annoyed by the lyrical style of "argumentation" that by the time i got to this gem i lost most of my motivation to keep reading.
depicted is a passage where erich fromm has worked himself into such a lather describing the magical symmetry of the two sexes which are neither separate nor one or whatever that he offhandedly concludes that because the existence of homosexuals is threatening to ruin the arousing crescendo of his argument he must regrettably conclude that they are inherently incapable of love.

who this "anonymous former Trump official" who talks exactly like John Bolton is we'll never know
"Trump doesn't see any of the global dimensions of this and doesn't even care. And he's leaning into all of Putin's talking points because he also thinks the same way, " said a former official from Trump's first term, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide a candid assessment. "Ukraine is like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria ...some other idiot's war, not his, and he wants it out of the way so he can get the deal with Putin he has always fantasized about," the former official said. "It's sad but very simple. And now Zelensky has criticized him, he will try to get rid of him."

yup just came out

People briefed on the executive orders that his team is drafting say they include attempting to end birthright citizenship; designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations; and reinstating Title 42, which allows the United States to seal the border with Mexico if there is a public health threat. (Mr. Trump's advisers have spent months trying to identify a disease that will help them build a case for Title 42, since there is no such emergency at the moment.)
