Very cool new model from the creators of TikTok It combines multiple images as references into a video, like people or objects, and it's pretty accurate Here I made one video from 3 input images: - me - a H100 GPU - a beach in Bali "Man holding a NVidia H100 GPU chip in his hands while standing on a beach in Thailand."

I got a call from a criminal defendant I believe is innocent. Before calling me, he voluntarily participated in a police interrogation for several hours. He believed that "I have nothing to hide" and that he could explain to the police why they had the wrong guy. Defense attorneys might call this naïve, but look at the responses to Fleishman's OP. Even high-IQ people really believe this is how law enforcement works. Here's the problem. When you agree to a police interrogation, you and the police are playing two different games. As the suspect, you believe you are playing a multiplayer, collaborative game. But the police aren't even playing a multiplayer game. They're playing a *one-player game,* like Tetris. As the suspect, you're not a player in the game. You're more like the game environment, producing falling blocks for the player—the police. The police play this game by collecting your statements like blocks and fitting them into a picture that incriminates you. When enough blocks have fit together, the police have won the game and refer the case to a prosecutor. You believe that, once you convince the police that you are innocent, you will all win. But that's not a real outcome of the game. "Evidence that I am innocent" is not even a game element. From the cops' perspective, if they fail to assemble the blocks into an incriminating picture, they have lost the game. Suspects who think "I have nothing to hide" are always surprised when the interrogation lasts several hours. "I've already explained everything - why am I still here?" they think. That's because the longer the game goes on, the more falling blocks the police have to assemble their case. It's in their interests to keep the game going long past what *your game* required. All suspects eventually sense this on some gut level and become frustrated. You think: "Wait a minute, - all of their questions are subtly premised on my guilt! But I can prove to them that I'm not guilty. I need to appeal to them to really hear me out." I.e., "Let's start over with a different game where we can all work together." But even as you're trying to change the game, you are speaking and therefore generating more blocks. Here's the only solution. The moment you have any reason to believe you're a suspect, exit the game. Politely ask if you are free to leave. If they say "no," calmly tell them "I invoke my right to remain silent and my right to counsel." If you're in custody when you say this, the cops will actually physically stand up and leave the room as if you've just uttered a magic incantation.

Try this @levelsio high fat cut (like this Wagyu shortrib) cut against the grain, steamed together with high-quality rice, some extra fat, and salt in a Zojirushi rice cooker. Great bulking meal.

It's exactly because of Europe's vasted potential that we ask for more. Celebrating Europe as a supplier to the great American engines of commerce and wealth is only a step or two above Congo claiming credit for Tesla because of their cobalt. Europe has the brains and the history for greatness, but squanders much of it at the moment in thrall to climate degrowth nonsense and suicidal empathy. I'm all onboard with the idea that this should motivate a movement to invigorate Europe, though. Just as long as it's not through excuses or europoor justifications for not having the basic utilities of civilization, like AC or laundry machines that can complete four loads in a day without breaking a sweat. Europe should take the best of American vigor and entrepreneurship without shame or excuse. The US has Europe beat on those points at the moment. Admit it, copy it, and catch up.

This goes back to your cultured probably Catholic/Protestant culture's shame about talking about money It's not normal in the non-Christian world and it's not your free choice, just centuries of religion echoing on your identity via culture And there's no need to be shameful about having money or success! You should be proud instead, and it inspires others to do the same!

Something really interesting I've noticed about posting here is that it's all about inertia. The more you post the more your brain starts to think in posts. Posts start to appears in your head all the time. In the shower, while you're falling asleep. Conversely, if you stop posting your brain very quickly adapts and stops thinking in posts. You can ramp your ability to think in posts very quickly, but you can lose it even more quickly. A couple of days getting caught up in real life with no posts and your brain becomes completely post-free. You no longer see posts when you walk the dog, or do your washing. So what's the actual takeaway here? I guess if you want to be a great poster, you need to post so frequently that you're primed to think in posts. Think about the great posters of today, people like @tszzl , @growing_daniel , @yacineMTB , and @levelsio . They never take a break. They dream in posts. They live to exist in your timeline. These greats make a real sacrifice too. By thinking in posts you're inevitably going to be pulled out of real life at times. It's going to make you less present day-to-day. I guess its up to you to decide if thats worth it. If you really want to be a great poster then you don't have a choice. You need to think in posts.
