Wow! I just submitted a job application somewhere that was simply asking to send a resume and cover letter to an email address and I have to say this is so refreshing and wonderful.

Last night @simon joined me, @bcantrill and the Oxide Friends to discuss a recent article maligning open source large language models. Simon has so much practical experience with LLMs, and brings so much clarity to what they can and can’t do. I learned a ton about how to use these systems, how to regard them, and new systems to try.

We, holistically, at Hackers.Town have done a SHITTY job of promoting this…. But we DO have a fundraiser underway to support relief efforts in Japan.
I’ve contributed a lot - I don’t expect others to do the same. But if you have the ability, and inclination… it will be appreciated… and you’ll gain entry to the New Cyberia Defense Force.

Alexander S. Vindman:
#Trump looks very vulnerable. It’s just a single datapoint, but this spells disaster for him in a general election. Almost 50% of a hardcore Republican electorate is not interested in what he’s pedaling. Not sure why the media is missing this.

Yea - almost half of the votes last night went to other candidates in a hard- core Republican state with the hardest of the hard core Republicans showing up in the bitter cold. (Look at the media questions - the majority described themselves as "very conservative".)

A Win for #Trans Students 🤗
“The U.S. #SupremeCourt on Tuesday let stand lower court rulings that allow a #Transgender boy to use the #Restroom that matches his #gender identity, a win for the student.
The order protects transgender students within the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit — which includes Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin — and puts off any Supreme Court review of bathroom bans for some time, likely into 2025 or beyond.”
