Welp, after a day or two of fermentation and a few hours preparing the accompaniments, like the potato filling, the 'gunpowder' to sprinkle over it, and both tomato and coconut chutneys (all made from scratch, even involving cracking a fresh coconut!), I've made my first ever dosas. I'm quite chuffed by the result. It's a lot of work for a one-off...

I wonder if one of the issues people have with unhoused folks w/smartphones; feeling a cognitive dissonance that someone with a pocket supercomputer but flailing for basic needs (food, etc)
And…yes those two things together are F’ed up.
Guess which one should be fixed?

”My argument is that the current structure of public conversation has the same effect on human cognition that a botnet has on a web server. It's simply exhausting you. And an exhausted mind defaults to heuristics and tribal allegiances, aka whatever position allows it to conserve the most cognitive energy.”

”What I do know is that the feeling of being overwhelmed, of never being able to keep up, of having strong opinions about everything and confident understanding of nothing, is n…

Raiders Get Curt Cignetti Message Amid Fernando Mendoza Link
The Las Vegas Raiders are in the middle of finding their next head coach after the team fired Pete Carroll following their 3-14 2025 NFL season. While the Raiders roster has a couple of talented pieces, it’s a team in need of a rebuild. Although the Raiders have Geno Smith, he’s not the answer long-term. With the Silver and Black holding the No. 1 pick, it’s clear that Indiana Hoosiers QB Fernando Mendoza will likely be the guy they take in April’s NFL Draft. With Las Vegas predicted to…

TIL: Bud "Harold" Cort hatte auch eine kleine Rolle in einem meiner absoluten Lieblingsfilme. Er spielte in Michael Manns "Heat" von 1995 den schmierigen Pommesjongleur ('Solenko'), der den späteren Fluchtfahrer ('Donald') brutal runtermacht und dessen Lage als Häftling auf Bewährung eiskalt ausnutzen will...
#funfact

Filmstill aus 'Heat' (1995) von Michael Mann: Bud Cort als Solenko, der schmierige Imbissbudenmanager. Unrasiert, mit zynischem Gesichtsausdruck, die rechte Augenbraue verächtlich hochgezogen, die Haare mit weit zurückweichendem Haaransatz glatt nach hintengekämmt. Eine durch und durch unsympathische Rolle.

oh what a great line

Epistemological Fault Lines Between Human and Artificial Intelligence
Large language models (LLMs) are widely described as artificial intelligence, yet their epistemic profile diverges sharply from human cognition. Here we show that the apparent alignment between human and machine outputs conceals a deeper structural mismatch in how judgments are produced. Tracing the historical shift from symbolic AI and information filtering systems to large-scale generative transformers, we argue that LLMs are not epistemic agents but stochastic pattern-completion systems, for…

Now that Musk has offloaded Twitter and his AI experiments to SpaceX, he can be sure the government will bail it out when the AI bubble pops. The government's defense industry depends upon SpaceX for access to space.
This is probably the main reason for the "sale" transferring money from one of Musk's bank accounts to another of Musk's bank accounts.
The AI price bubble popping could have wiped out xAI and thus Twitter with it, but now it's cushioned against that by contracts with a government who can't afford to allow their only real space access to go bust.
So he can subsidize his failing AI business and his unprofitable media-manipulation efforts at Twitter with his government-protected failing exploding space-rocket project.
All protected by the lie which the media keep repeating uncritically that it makes any sense at all to have data centers in space.
What a great businessman.
