  • The paper describes a failure mode with LLMs due to something during inference, meaning when the AI is actively “reasoning” or making predictions, as opposed to an issue in the training data. Drake told me he discovered the issue while working with ChatGPT on a project. In an attempt to preserve the context of a conversation with ChatGPT after reaching the conversation length limit, he used the transcript of that conversation as a “project-level instruction” for another interaction. In the paper, Drake says that in one instance, this caused ChatGPT to slow down or freeze, and that in another case “it began to demonstrate increasing symptoms of fixation and an inability to successfully discuss anything without somehow relating it to this topic [the previous conversation.”

    They don’t understand why the limit is there…

    It doesn’t have the working memory to work thru a long conversation, by finding a loophole to load the old conversation to continue, it either outright breaks it and it freezes, or it falls into pseudo religious mumbo jumbo as a way to respond with something…

    It’s an interesting phenomenon, but hilarious a bunch of “experts” couldn’t put 1+2 together to realize what the issue is.

    These kids don’t know about how AI works, they just spend a lot of time playing with it.










  • I’m disabled in a way that limits my ability to hold anything heavy, so lighter weight is good.

    Literally the reason pistol braces exist.

    99.9% use it as a stock to get around SBR laws, so you might have to research which one does the actual job it’s supposed to best. But they were invented so you could literally strap an AR to your arm.

    But rather than a rifle I’d say something like the Extar EP9:

    https://extarusa.com/ep9/

    9mm will be lighter weight and less recoil, and it’s crazy lightweight with a short barrel keeping the weight towards your chest where its easiest.

    Takes Glock mags, so you can run 15rounders to be as light as possible, grab a 33 round ruler clip to have more than a standard AR, or go all out and get a fucking drum.

    15 in the gun and ruler clips for reloads would be a good plan.


  • AR-15. With how common they are you can easily find a configuration to your liking and can just as easily find parts and ammo.

    People said 5.56 ARs because that’s what military and shtf cops would have…

    But military is going to 6.5 6.8mm and that trickles down to cops fast. And the production lines for ammo would go with them. So 5.56 won’t be ‘cheap’ forever, and if things go crazy won’t be all over the place like we thought because it wouldnt be deployed with troops

    But the reason we’re moving from 5.56 is it lacks the punch of AKs especially against body armor.

    So for a rifle I’d say a generic AK these days. 5 years from now? I’ll probably say a 6.5 6.8mm AR.

    Glock 17 or 19

    For open/nightstand you can’t beat the classic Beretta. If you want to have what cops/military would have go p320 these days. But 9mm loads into any 9mm magazine, and whatever you’re getting, get a bunch of magazines.

    For “waistband” carry tho I’m going to say the new Keltec p15. 15+1 the skinnier than a single stack subcompact, and actually pretty accurate. Pretty much zero chance if “finding” magazines if shit happens, but you should buy in bulk anyways.



  • Bruh. We need a good candidate so we can convince people to vote…

    I live in a red state, lots of nonvoters or people that blindly vote R.

    I just can’t sell them on a candidate like Hillary/Joe/Kamala, because the main selling point was “not named trump” and that’s not a big enough issue for them on its own.

    We know what happens when we run a (relatively) young charismatic candidate with a progressive platform tho, red states all over flip and it carries down ballot races all over.

    I don’t think it’ll be an issue now that Martin is chair, but for almost a decade the party has been working against Dem voters and insisting every failure is the fault of voters and the party has been perfect, which only further depresses dem turnout.
