An LLM generates a statistically typical response.
If you ask an LLM whether the world is round, it generates what would be a typical response to the question of whether the world is round. (It will probably be correct, because the typical answer to that question is the correct one.)
If you ask an LLM to provide examples of its own bias, it will generate what would be a typical response to a request to provide examples of bias.
In neither case is the LLM sharing any knowledge or insight other than what is typical.

As a security engineer, whenever anyone talks about a control it's always important to ask "by what mechanism?"
> "Oh, that can't happen because we have a system to stop it."
By what mechanism?
> "We have documentation that says...."
Yeah, that's not a mechanism.
People keep saying, "Trump can't do that!" But like... by what mechanism?
> "The constitution says..."
Yeah... a documented list of rules is not self-enforcing. What is the mechanism?
What makes this impossible? Oh, it's possible under certain conditions? Oh, it's always possible and you're completely relying on the idea that there will never be a malicious actor? Yeah, that's gonna get exploited. Oh shit, now you're owned.
What do you do with a system that's completely owned? Once it's compromised it can never be trusted again. What would you tell a client who told you, "Patching is really hard, so we're just gonna ban the attacker's IP."
What, you're not even gonna reinstall?
I assume we've all had the "burn everything down and start again" client. I wonder how many of us thought we would see the US government ask for them to hold it's beer.

you need to catch the 9:44, and if you hurry you can just make it, only, crap, forgot your keys, and to go back will take at least 5 minutes.
so you get the sched and historical records, and you find there is quite a bit of variation so you crunch the numbers and figure the odds are still reasonable it will be at least ten minutes late. You weigh your probabilities and decide to go.
Meanwhile I call a friend who is on that train and ask their estimate. I now have a better estimate? After my call, they ask a porter and get another even better estimate?
Meanwhile, 12km down the rails a protest has blocked a crossing, determined to hold that train at least until the police arrive.
Probability is a subjective measure of ignorance 😅

For any of my comrades who are using SNAP, I wish I had something better to say than "if you crush 4 buckeyes with a hammer and tie the pulp in a sock you can wash a good sized load of laundry." English Ivy also has saponins, but I've never been able to make soap from it myself.
Ivy is everywhere. Buckeyes (Horse Chestnuts) are common in city parks (there are a ton in Seattle).
Yucca is also a good source of saponins, but it also has silica. That makes it a good scrubby soap. You can find these plants all over they're pretty common to find in yards.
If you can find acorns still (it's a bit late, but who knows), acorn grits are great and something you can survive on for a bit. Acorns need processing (it's easy to look up, but feel free to ask or check out one or Black Forager's videos on it).
If you've been following me for a bit, you probably already know all this. But if you don't, I hope it helps.
Any other forager folks are welcome to drop hints here that might be useful to folks in the city.

I don't envy "vibe coders". I mean, let's for a minute assume that their vision is not a pipe dream, but an accurate prediction of the future.
For a start, what's their plan for life? Driving a tool whose primary selling point is that anyone can use it. And I'm not even talking about all the inside competition. I'm talking of people realizing that they can cut the middleperson and do the coding themselves.
The way I see it, vibe coders are a bit like typists (with no offense to typists). Their profession is a product of a novelty. And just like typists largely disappeared when typewriters and then computers became commonplace, so are vibe coders bound to disappear when vibe coding becomes commonplace.
And are true programmers going to become obsolete? Well, let me ask you: did the proliferation of cars and corresponding self-service skills render car mechanics obsolete? On the contrary. The way I see it, the proliferation of slopcode will only make competent programmers ever the more necessary.
What vibe coders are saying is basically this: "This new automated self-service kit makes car maintenance so easy. Car mechanics will become obsolete now. Everyone's just going to hire *me* to run this kit instead."

"They have to turn back to God and we are;
We're gonna ask all Americans to pray for an end to political violence, to pray for our president, to pray for a Christian agenda in Washington. It's long overdue. We need it. And we think it's an important step."
"We need God's help if we're gonna get through what we're going through now,
-- the push toward actually acceptance of communism by a growing number of Americans."

Well, we've mailed out our first tranche of charitable donations for this year.
Times are tough especially with the Federal government drying up funding for so many things.
My message here is that we - you and me; all of us - need to pull together, and that one way to do that is to make donations, either in cash or in kind, to organizations and people in need.
The Old and New Testaments and the Koran all ask us to care for one another, to help the stranger.

REMINDER: Influenza has everything needed to kill people every year and produce a global pandemic every few decades forever. What keeps it at a low “just the flu” level is vaccination. One thing that kept the most recent surges from being more like 1918 is the CDC. What is left of the CDC is inadequate to that task. https://m…

The administration’s newest emergency appeal to the high court was filed a month and a half after a federal appeals court in Washington held that the official, Shira Perlmutter, could not be unilaterally fired.
Nearly four weeks ago, the full District of Columbia circuit court of appeals refused to reconsider that ruling.
The case is the latest that relates to Donald Trump’s authority to install his own people at the head of federal agencies. The supreme court has largely allowed …

Today I've figured out how to reply when another couch philosopher tells you that obviously "there are job offers, it's just people who are too lazy to work". You just ask them "then why aren't you changing jobs?"
Free market is clear on this: if the supply of job positions exceeds demand, wages rise. And if employers lack employees, then they're ready to pay more, so you benefit from changing jobs! Isn't capitalism just great?

Any controversy about saturated fat comes from research showing that reducing saturated fat intake can actually be harmful if you replace it with the wrong thing
(processed carbs, sugars.)
But researchers agree that replacing saturated fats with plant based fats, like olive oil, is good for health.
