This is Oakley. He has an injury that requires physical therapy and at-home massages. Luckily, his cat sibling River has been training his whole life for this. 14/10 for both

I have been talking to a lot of politicians lately because of the elections coming up here in Denmark. A few of them have urged me to run (in the future) telling me "evner forpligter", which is Danish for "ability obliges"/"with great power comes great responsibility".

I have thought about it.

It is 2 weeks since we saw the last of our #fosterkittens get a new home (3 of them in one home) and yesterday we decided to do it all again. We just messaged the cat shelter that they can send us cats again soon.

This was not the plan, but we miss them so.

as a computer scientist, i am BEGGING people to realize that there is no cognition inside of an LLM

no reasoning, no thought process, no self-awareness

I read a lot of arguments (for AND against) LLMs, and both sides seem to think there’s a consciousness or intentionality or even a moral alignment

Why is Facebook so bad at recognizing political content? Is it because some political actors mislabel their content?

I have blocked political content and block all suggestions from accounts I don't follow if it is political. My account is overflowing with suggested content from DF. (yuck)

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

This weekend my brother came home to Denmark and my parents hosted a traditional Danish "Mortensaften" meal. 3 ducks for 8 adults and 2 children. Complete with "Risalamande" for dessert.

Here is a nice picture of my mother making the brown sauce and my step-dad making brown potatoes (caramelized).

My second cousin surprised me with a gift. A portrait of our great grandmother. I have inherited a portrait of our great grandfather from my dad and they are taken at the same time. Perfect fit. I love that I can now hang great grandmother Karen up where she belongs.

The details in this jigsaw puzzle painting is amazing. It is another one by Pieter Bruegel the Elder - Children's Games painted in 1560.

Can you recognize any of the games?

I did make this one 600 pieces, so you might want to use the "Play with Friends" feature.
