  • Nuclear was was always an apocalypse that might happen.

    I’m not sure if you know the history of how close we came to nuclear war in October 1962. It was the first time in history the USA ever went to Defcon 2. We had 25 nuclear bombers in the air with the rest of them on 15 minute standby.

    Hitler was bad, but he didn’t have anything like the arsenal and intelligence networks available to Trump. We have the consentration camps, and the death camps too, although those are outsourced in other countries.

    As bad as trump is, has he murdered 13 million innocent people yet? That’s Hitler’s number of murdered innocent people.

    We have been at worse points in history than we are right now.





  • So like… I feel scared about the idea of like… just going for a walk all by myself…

    How about making a list of the things you think would possibly happen to you going for a walk by yourself that would justify being rationally scared. Then go through the list and consider even if each event is possibly, how probable is it? I think you’ll find that that things you’re most afraid of are the least likely to happen.

    Now as a comparison, make a list of all the things that could happen to you staying at home. Another list of all the things that could happen to you being driven to your destination. Assign realistic probabilities to each event. I’m guessing you’ll find that the probabilities of bad things on each of these three list will all look pretty equal. If they are equal, then going for a walk is no more dangerous that staying home or being driven somewhere.

    In a sense, if you’re afraid to go for a walk, you should be equally or more afraid of going for a drive or staying at home. As such, its not more dangerous to go for a walk than the other option.



  • Its also possible we’ve reached the limits of the training data.

    This is my thinking too. I don’t know how to solve the problem either because datasets created after about 2022 likely are polluted with LLM results baked in. With even a 95% precision that means 5% hallucination baked into the dataset. I can’t imagine enough grounding is possible to mitigate that. As the years go forward the problem only gets worse because more LLM results will be fed back in as training data.




  • I like a California roll, and I like that its all veg and grain, so I’ll choose it when thats what I’m looking for, but there are many other rolls I like more. The avocado isn’t a selling point except that its not meat or dairy and there are times I’d don’t want to eat either of those.

    Guac is still “meh” for me. Again, I’ll eat it if its there, but I don’t seek it out.



  • Avocado is fine, but its not something I seek out to eat. If its included in a dish or in a meal, I’ll eat it, but I don’t find it especially enjoyable. I’m even a big fan of most fruit and veg, but avocado its kind of forgettable if you ask me. I do like cooking with avocado oil though for its high temp usage and health benefits, but I don’t really find the flavor of the fruit in the oil.
