RIP to Sly Stone. Calling someone a genius has mostly lost meaning, except when you apply it to Sly. I'm glad Questlove gave him a revealing and rewarding documentary with SLY LIVES (AKA THE BURDEN OF BLACK GENIUS). I wrote about it for @ebertvoices.bsky.social.

My Trade Secrets today. Trump going ahead with steel tariffs is obvs @robarmstrong.bsky.social's fault for the "TACO" trade needling. I posit TABASCO (Trump Angry Because Armstrong Said "Chickens Out") as the new paradigm. (Also, Trump's broad powers over tariffs & taxes are far worse than steel.)

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Early in this app there was an ethos that if someone said something you disagreed with, you could just ignore them. I liked that better.

🚨We have a new prompting report: Prompting a model with Chain of Thought is a common prompt engineering technique, but we find simple Chain-of-Thought prompts generally don’t help recent frontier LLMs, including reasoning & non-reasoning models, perform any better (but do increase time & costs)

I'm a breast cancer survivor. I'm likely to be a cancer patient again. I pray for cutting edge research to extend the time I have with my kids. This breaks my heart. It's going to lead to so much death.

Cannot stress enough that this is a pitiful action by a weak, scared, pathetic group of insecure, wannabe authoritarians, and they should be mocked until the end of time for wanting to bring in the military over some people protesting them at a Home Depot.

Seems like most people on here are anti-evil. That's the kind of insular groupthink that loses elections :/

Very smart, high ROI initiative from the Spencer Foundation. Providing bridge funding for canceled NSF grants: 1) directs funds to projects already screened by a top-noch review process. 2) avoids imposing proposal prep costs on researchers. 3) ameliorates the disruption from GOP sabotage.
