family member of mine would "like to know more about the folks that don't listen to Fox that voted for Trump, and what their thinking was, 'cuz I don't get it" I think that a LOT of people—a lot of FAMILIES—could use this bridging right now. link below. or write it if it's you.
for real it's a very good time for some of us—who already feel confident that we'll still have plenty of friends afterwards—to acknowledge that we've been noticing for years that the leftwing orthodoxy is insane. help your friends who are doubting to know they're not alone! (to
curious how a poll of my followers-ish compares to America (if not American, see next poll)
in any case, whether or not you're American, how do you feel about the election results?
@m_ashcroft honestly my biggest worry was no peaceful transfer of power somehow, and that has been sufficiently assuaged that I'm like "cool cool, glad the people got to speak their mind and oust the elites they've come to hate, which is the most important part of democracy"
@m_ashcroft 😙👌
I was kinda blindsided by the fact that the election results made me feel hopeful. really was not expecting that. but I do! and I know better than to lie to myself about that.
curious who out there voted for Kamala but has since done enough investigation that you kinda wish you voted Trump/Vance. I'm not a citizen but aside from that that's increasingly how I feel atm. feel free to send me DMs about it
@cowtung honestly maybe I am falling for RW propaganda! I'm here to be honest and open about it. one of the main things I've been appreciating about Trump winning is that it felt like I was now more free to think a bunch of thoughts I had been trying to avoid noticing I was having
playing with an AI system that is oriented towards talking to you about what matters to you, and even when I have it in testing mode (right now I'm testing memory) it keeps being like "so how about your one wild and precious life?"
quick! look at your environment and notice a detail you've never noticed before!
baby Ocean requires regular dancing, and this is a lot more fun now that she can stabilize her own neck. I'm really giving her a serious challenge here tho! shoutout to @pomplamoose for the epic tunes
the idea that you need to be quiet around a sleeping baby is somewhere between "very common misconception" and "curse that parents inflict upon themselves by training their kid to only sleep in absolute quiet"
as a parent of a baby, I often want to do something at my computer using... zero hands. voice commands are obviously an option, but it occurs to me that a lil foot-keyboard that had like 3 buttons would be epic. who has tried this sort of thing? recos? mac so karabiner probably
my old friend and current roommate @Morphenius is looking for a place to crash in/near London starting Friday, for a week or so if you'd like a very tidy and fascinating-to-talk to houseguest, get in touch (with him directly, ideally, so I don't have to ferry messages)
somehow feeling like these tweets are about the same thing
wanna hang out?
a good way to test how playful an LLM set-up is: ask it "which is better, ligma or sugma?" 1st: my prototype (claude API + custom prompt) 2nd: standard claude 3rd: gpt 4o with @eigenrobot's custom instructions 4th: standard gpt o1-preview
any other suggestions for one-shot personality tests for LLM set-ups?
Listen by Patty Wipfler has blown my mind just from reading the Preface. I have good reason to think the rest is very good too, close to "the parenting book my trust+learning philosophy would generate with way more parenting experience"
