Frum is illiterate. This quote does not blame America for 9/11 but blames America for the disastrous wars that people like David Frum--W. Bush's speechwriter--led us into Quoting @davidfrum In a now deleted tweet on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Abdul el-Sayed expressed the same the blame-America view voiced also by Hasan Piker. Putting a bag over Piker's big mouth may temporarily quiet the candidate's problem, but won't change it. America Related

I asked Grok Bot product lead @romanugarte_ why they built a new stand-alone app vs. building it into Cursor "It was not obvious at all. We saw what some of our competitors doing this, adding new tabs for each new form factor. People can feel that this was not a single, consistent vision of the way that work should work. It's kind of a shipping your org chart style thing that users are reacting negatively to. And so we decided, let's just start completely from scratch." Quoting @lennysan Grok @Bot is the hottest new AI product in the world right now. I'm absolutely hooked. It all started a few months ago as a tiny team holed up in a separate part of the office, building from scratch. Four weeks after the first line of code, the whole company was obsessed. Three weeks later, it laun… Related

Their words
I do not think those running the government testing understand what is going on, and believe they are reacting basically on vibes and what various trusted people tell them.

You probably waste hours staring at a blank screen trying to invent a completely original idea from scratch. But data shows that 90% of the most creative breakthroughs are just common concepts stolen from different industries and mixed together in a new way. You can generate brilliant ideas instantly using the Intellectual Middleman method. Here is how it works: 🧵 Related

Cheng’s experiment is cool! Especially this: “instead of starting with easy sudoku puzzles data and gradually ramping up toward harder ones, the training runs that start with harder puzzles and end with easy puzzles always fare better, and also fare better than mixed difficulty sampling” Quoting @_chenglou I’m very happy to present my toy research project: Sotaku! It's a neural net that automatically discovered the rules of sudoku and learned to solve them, achieving a new state-of-the-art score of 98.9% on one of the hardest sudoku datasets, while being agnostic to the game, and beating all other su… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
