If I'm being honest, the collapse of the post-Cold War international order and the violent occupation of an American city are making it difficult for me to concentrate on housing policy.

Laura Palmer went to school, taught Josie English twice a week, took care of Ben Horne’s son and also that orchid guy, did meals on wheels, was a sex worker, had two boyfriends, and a best friend. This is how productive I need to become.

what’s the functional difference between this and humans

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Question: When are we going to call the white man who clearly plotted and schemed an act of violence, and shot two Minnesota law makers and their spouses out of political hatred a terrorist?

One of the wild things about NYC politics, and how people tell on themselves, is that Zohran’s mom is from India, and he was born in Uganda, both countries which have huge diaspora communities in the city, and every single question about a foreign country is… neither of those.

I have a feeling that LLMs and their constituent concepts are going to become increasingly powerful metaphors for the behavior of human minds.

Trump does reinforcement learning on crowd feedback so reward hacks all over the place and has gibberish chain of thought traces.

Raskin: This is a gangster state. This is not basically a legitimate government that is sometimes doing corrupt things. This is an essentially corrupt enterprise. It's like watching The Sopranos. Every day, they get up and they try to figure out how to plunder and pillage the people

Lots of arguments around this and looking at then I still find it shocking how many people are consumers first and all other identities get subsumed by that.

gonna go to a PSL event about cost of living and make this case and probably get kicked out but it’ll be fun nonetheless

This is clarifying on the philosophical disagreement between YIMBYs and left-anti-YIMBYs. I think the changes we make to reduce housing costs and homelessness in the short/medium term are steps on the road to a radically better future, not distractions from some larger consciousness-raising project.

After adding today's new polls, Trump's approval rating has hit a new low of 43.6%, down from 49.4% on day one of his term. His new record-low net rating of -9.4 is now lower than his rating at this point in his first term. Worst-ever approval for a POTUS 100 days in. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/data

Demand is unmeasurable, therefore we should move resource distribution away from markets and to central planners, who will measure demand.

Paul Coelho@individkid.bsky.social

I don't believe in supply demand economics. "Demand" is not measurable, so it is not real. Only supply is real, and developers put whatever price on their buildings that they think will protect them from risk of exposure as the gougers that they are. Empower local government to say no to gougers.
