Consider the sentence:

"It is raining"

Think about the pronoun It and to what it is referring.

"The Clouds are raining" nope!

After some contemplation and substitution one finds it has no referent.

Correct!

This is the null referent or non-referential IT. (note the all caps)

They didnt want to run the risk of being called iconophiles, so they just made Mary very abstract.

Into the foundational taxonomy when needed. This is called learning for humans.

TheNineOfClubs @thenonreferentialit.com · 12h

A vehicle is a thing

A thing is a count noun.

LLMs fail this and will start to tell you that a vehicle is something that does not include truck and breaks the hyponymic relationships.

The crucial part here is being able to boot up taxonomy for a current situation and incorporate it

TheNineOfClubs @thenonreferentialit.com · 12h

Without a complex layer on top of the vector space of both a foundational taxonomy and the ability to create, destroy and modify new taxonomies for different situations and contexts it will not be possible

They all currently fail the “is a” test.

A 4 runner is a truck. A truck is a vehicle

So, AGI is impossible with our current technology, right? I mean, you can't evolve ChatGPT into an actual thinking machine... it doesn't make any sense to me. But Sam Altman and others seem so confident about it... am I missing something?

And the really frustrating part: schema refresh evaluates for a really long time.

Interesting. Mine is always 999 for iphone 16.

Frankly, the update that allowed schema and data refresh is causing much grief.

Older pbix will now no longer refresh nicely. I have shepherd it through:
Power query refresh preview all.
Apply. Refresh schema. refresh data then it doesnt say that some random step needs to be recompiled. Ugh.

Power bi was slow yesterday due to some issues with fabric.

Coworker asked about a refresh and i told him fabric was experiencing some issues.

His response was “ they must be using aws”.

Now i just picture you running a mile while a trainer hums and F and then a B flat and you yelling “4th” and then speeding up.

Precisely why we shave my long hair cats butt!

He grooms is primordial pooch and we shave his leg/ butt fringes.

I picked up a multi pack of a variety of jazz iii; i wanted to see if there is a style that is better than the red i use normally.

i gotta say i am really liking the ultex version alot.

I do like the bottom right max grip but the feel of the ultex gets a really good sound and attack feel.

The ultex is the bottom left one

You have great style Bob.

Why are we paying federal taxes?

Constitution is a contract between the gov and people.

It syas that congress taxes and appropriates.

If the usurper is ignoring the appropriations and reappropriating then contract on that is broken.

We should all tax strike

Wife needed some pants and this shit was in there.

Wtf Ross?

At least it is more textura quadrata and not fraktur but still. Obvious what the maker was going for.

So they are spending state resources during a gov shutdown on sock puppets.

Like literally all these accounts follow all the gov accounts and thats it. Dont have posts.

Maybe some replies.

Air force has had this tech since w bush era. Something called persona management software.

Should of been more clear: on your legator 8 string do those dots glow natively?

I have a 7 string version of the one you have and the side dots glow in the dark from either paint or inlay.

Yeah jump is definitely not as bad when you play bass, especially 5 or 6 string.

Is your white bass a legator?

Thanks for turning me on to Legator btw. I recently got one and am loving it, and all because i saw a clip of you on your n8fj.

Do the dots on the side of your neck glow in the dark?
