Look think what you want about LLMs but the idea that humans aren’t synthesizing and reproducing training data to make language seems pretty wrong. We just accept that what humans express on the other side is novel.

I was about to make this joke lol. Your name popped up on my phone and I was like β€œI hope it’s the right Paul Johnson PhD for a boxing joke”

If you’re a PhD your entire existence is leisure time as it would be understood by anybody working before automation.

this junkballing Czech electrician is a folk hero in Japan for striking out Ohtani in the last WBC (stopped for photos/autographs etc) but he's retiring after this bc Czech league ball doesn't pay the bills.
I love the way he took in in this one last surreal moment before going back to normalcy

As somebody who is a worker with words on the internet and has long had to come to grips with the fact that what most people want from prose is not what I, a professional, consider good prose…

It’s interesting to see talk about β€œgood code” now that anybody who wants to code can, more or less.

Also too, while I am building something complex, the major bottleneck I faced this week was Brother Claude had a hard time counting to 90 for a while.

(I am legit excited about the soccer nerdery I might be cooking up, but for now if you want to know what is hoovering up my tokens you need to subscribe to the Mousa Dembele level of @doublepivotpodcast.bsky.social).

Chat is it a good or a bad sign when you hit your weekly Claude limit three days early?

Nothing makes me feel more middle aged than that band.

And tbh mostly Antwerp.

Look not to make me the center of the universe (although yes obviously I am the protagonist of the universe, come on) but I do not like me and my family being in the middle of this Ven diagram.

I mean Saturday into Sunday we’ve had at least three IEDs go off/almost go off.

I think it’s a problem with having an electorate β€” left, right, and center, who lose their fucking minds at the prospect of paying higher taxes.

If nothing else I’m glad I know one other person on the internet pondering the distribution of the Jewish population in Belgium.

I mean it’s paired with a *rhetorical* demand for taxing the richest and corporations more. Which is also one of those things you can let yourself be caught wanting because the opposition party will oppose it.

This was my first reaction to seeing the news as well. Wait Liege has a synagogue?

09.03.2026 13:00 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

This strikes me as the kind of dumb policy that sounds good that politicians run on secure in the knowledge that the opposition party will never let them pass it.

Which sounds good until you manage to convince your voters that actually the dumb policy is not dumb and then you become Republicans.

Explosion damages synagogue in LiΓ¨ge, politicians condemn β€œantisemitic act” An explosion damaged a synagogue in LiΓ¨ge early on Monday morning, shattering windows and causing material damage but leaving no one injured...

Gotta say things don’t appear to be trending in happy, sunny directions these days. www.belganewsagency.eu/explosion-da...

I am against this trend. (But yes probably).

This post brought to you by oil yoinking its way up to almost 120 over night before stopping and dropping back below 100 (which is still very high relative to like a week ago when even 80 was a distant memory).

On a sort of morbid level it’s extremely funny that the people who did a war which is shutting off the global oil spigot’s main anti-solar talking point is that it is intermittent and unreliable.

This seems like a good lens to me.

My employer has provided me free access to more than one different LLM but not Claude. And I pretty much exclusively use my personal Claude account exclusively.

Republicans being more afraid of losing because Donald Trump is there than losing because Donald Trump says mean things about them.

That’s it. That’s the whole thing.

I think there have basically been two catastrophic outcomes in my life. Covid and the GFC. That’s a lot, but there’s also lots of other really bad stuff that didn’t get nearly that far.
