an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Friday, 31 May 2019 13:04 (four years ago) link

This one scared me a little:

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said,

4 "Let there be light," and there was light.

5 And God saw that it was good.

6 And God divided the light from the darkness; and it was also good.

7 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.

8 Now the evening and the morning were the first day.

9 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

10 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament.

11 And God called the firmament Heaven.

12 And God blessed the firmament, and God sanctified it. Then God rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had made. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Gen 1:31:1-36 New Testament Apocrypha

Jude 27:6 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

This is my most favorite routine. I love the way the sun shines and all the elements in my life flow into one wonderful space. Everything is calm and the air is warm and calm before all the craziness, anxiety and stress are put into perspective.
The first step is to start focusing and not worry about anything other than getting fit. The sun is shining, you have more time in the day, you have all this free time to do all the things that are meant to be spent. Don't worry if you need to take breaks from the rest of the world. Get in shape and do some exercises. I love doing cardio because the muscles in your thighs and calves are naturally working and the stretch reflex is activated and you feel incredibly tight in those muscles.
On the other end, when you are working out, I usually do a lot of sitting and standing up. It has a calming, peaceful feeling to it, and there is the same feeling of being surrounded by things. You feel lighter in your bones and you feel great physically, but mentally you are a mess. You cannot control what happens at work around you. You are so busy trying to accomplish a result that you lose focus, and a lot of the good stuff goes right through the glass of your head

In the not too distant future
Next Sunday, A.D.
There was a guy named Joel
Not too different from you and me
He
told me that that was my destiny (I'd have to kill him to get out of it)
I don't know why he did that, but maybe it was the same reason in his mind?
He was my brother... And then I ended up having an encounter with him
I've gotten so frustrated lately... Just a few minutes a day like this
Well, when I finally did it was a lot less... I didn't think I could do it as strong as a ninja
And it was actually kinda fun to make some of those things like that
I think this is probably where we meet... And I know it might sound weird, but the reason why
This is probably why it's not so interesting to me at all.
A lot of times people don't have anything to live for
And that's where the fun begins
If I was here at this place on an island
... I'd probably feel the same way... I probably wouldn't be around right now
So, I'm always thinking of new ways to take on things
And that's why I'm probably the only one that I've seen die (it's not like I had really anything)

Prehistoric ages and the days of ancient Greece
On down through the Middle Ages
When the earth kept going through changes
Then the renaissance came, times continued to change

We know that before we come here, we will stop time
On down into the dark ages when we got our last breath
The end of the Renaissance
A time of great upheaval we've just passed
We have forgotten our own history
We have lost our memories
We will only see what is left
And remember the names
And the time
We lived in a time of peace
When the world was bright and glorious
When the sun set
There were only four living things
And the land wasn't full of bugs
And when we were lost at sea
We made a pilgrimage to one of Saturn
There was another story, though - we were there
On Earth, we called ourselves the Children of Light
We fought the Space Mutants
And the War Pigs
And the Gods that were on the other side!

And so it goes on. Our lives are short. We don't seem quite so smart after all this. What if something doesn't work? What if we're getting older? Is it okay to lose our sense of humor? Why does everything have to be perfect? What if the world doesn't need us anymore? What if life isn't worth living? What would you do

She walked out with empty arms
Machine gun in her hands
She is good and she is bad
No one understands

What she said

You are too good
For me
She wants to be like your mother who was always there for me
You're just a cry for my tears
They both say good bye
No she won't let me miss you

She walked out of my car with a bad ass attitude
And just as I was getting out she got out with a new car

She's always here for me I can't go without her
So I'm back to where she started

This is all a lie
But my tears are flowing for you
When my head spins down I'm trying to get you to stay
So you can stop worrying about where this's leading

You're too good to be this bad
And she's really good too
This is all a lie
I'm too nice
That's where the real truth lies

So where I come from
We grew apart
But we're going to meet again
We're going to meet again
And we're going to make it back together

And I'm here for you
You're too good To say you're fine for what happened
The real truth lies
So where I come from I'm from the right place
I'm on top of you
I'm here for you
You're too good

Clemenza: Leave the gun. Take the canoli.

(All leave.)

Holtzman: I would imagine the gun is now in one of the cans, or is it in the cupboards, or are we all going to be eating chicken-fried steak and eating chicken-fried steak together for the rest of the day, which, by the way, is going to be the most horrible thing, right?

I'm a meat eaters, so the last thing I want is for you to think that we're all vegetarian because you think it's the easiest way to please God — which, believe it or not, is a Christian thing that is also the world's most difficult thing to do.

So I'm really hoping this is going to help the world in some way. But we'd like everyone in this room in these three-and-a-half minutes, to leave the gun. You can go ahead and stay, but please, let's get out of here.

We're going to be back. We're going to go to hell in a handbasket.

What made that strange, black hole move in faster than an average
No one has seen a black hole move at this speed for some 500 million years. [Note: It wasn't until 1979 that astrophysicists figured out all the details concerning the supermassive black hole at the center of the universe. I am also a fan of the Einstein's equation, and thus have tried to come up with some ideas for why this might be. I am not sure, so there is no guarantee that this will be confirmed. The most likely explanation is that he's just trying to keep cool. But no idea has been proved, and there still is no official statement from NASA's New Horizons spacecraft .]
The other interesting question is when the event occurred..
[Note: This was discussed in the NASA FAQ which I believe has the most information , but I cannot find it anywhere. Sorry. It seems like a major problem.]
The Hubble Space Telescope detected an unusual event. As a followup to their earlier observations, observations by other agencies have revealed the event might have been caused by one or more collisions between massive stars, or by the "strong nuclear interaction" of both merging stars. I have put together this brief explanation from here on out if it seems

I've been playing around with this for a couple of days and thought I was pretty much over it but then it comes up with something like this:

What's the deal with airline food? You get served by your food service person, but you'll just keep being served by your food service person.

At any point if the food service guy keeps acting like a chicken, you're not going to want to make another reservation. So there's a whole process to getting your food back to the food service person. And if you forget who's actually the manager, that's actually against the rules. You're not supposed to be there. You're not supposed to be the manager.

But how do I get there from what I see the sign says?

The answer is, it's in the airport.

When I check into this hotel from here, it's a restaurant called the La Paloma hotel, and I'm seated at The Cattleman Café.

So I order food, get in and there's a line.

If you're like me, you don't know what to expect. You're here for my meal. My stomach just feels like it's on fire, like, "You guys are nuts, aren't you guys just going to let me have that goddamn chicken?'" I'm like, "Yeah, it's in the airplane."

I read the blogpost about this (https://openai.com/blog/better-language-models/) and found something interesting about what it was trained on:

We created a new dataset which emphasizes diversity of content, by scraping content from the Internet. In order to preserve document quality, we used only pages which have been curated/filtered by humans—specifically, we used outbound links from Reddit which received at least 3 karma. This can be thought of as a heuristic indicator for whether other users found the link interesting (whether educational or funny), leading to higher data quality than other similar datasets

And if you find yourself going around asking these same questions of those who don't hear you, ask yourself: What did they hear and do? And for those who don't hear, what was their action? Did the guy or the woman just do too much or too little? Did he or she just sit back or did she jump?

Too true, too true. I've noticed that fuckin' around with Transformer for long stretches of time has a cognitive effect not unlike what happens to my eyes if I wind up staring at a tiny screen for too long. Sharp focus is not immediately forthcoming.

Too true, too true. I've noticed that fuckin' around with Transformer for long stretches of time has a cognitive effect not unlike what happens to my eyes if I wind up staring at a tiny screen for too long. Sharp focus is not immediately forthcoming. I guess that's something about human nature.

At any rate, Transformer, let's talk about it.

It's a Transformer.

You know the old expression, "It takes a village to raise a child"? Well, it's a Transformer. As with our world, this is about the size of my head with a tiny bit of extra space built in. But more importantly, you have an all-purpose handheld video game controller that's about the size of a softball thrown in there.

And as an aside, it's worth noting that Transformer's controllers may even be lighter than games like Super Smash Bros. Wii U's. If more people bought a Transformer, they'd sell for significantly less than the controllers Wii U sold last year, which means a lot more money will be spent developing these games. That's not to say Transformer isn't a fun title, as anyone who's played the game and loved it can attest. But for it to be a big moneymaker? It might find even bigger markets than Super Smash Bros. for Switch. And if any game

I'd like to know the granularity at which these answers are constructed. The site seems to say responses are constructed word-by-word, but that seems misleading to me. The prevalence of complex sentences, with multiple subjects and dependent clauses, suggests pattern matching that is based at a higher (and more restrictive) level than single words. Anyway, these results are more impressive than anything I've seen before using Markov text generation, even though it is still gibberish. Good work, Transformer!

Of course it is. Except it's neural nets, plural. And they aren't hardware, but wetware.

The prevalence of complex sentences, with multiple subjects and dependent clauses, suggests pattern matching that is based at a higher (and more restrictive) level than single words.

From the blog, "Our model, called GPT-2 (a successor to GPT), was trained simply to predict the next word in 40GB of Internet text." Using such a large dataset, and given 1024 words of context when training, it basically implicitly learns sentence and even paragraph structure.

Ooh stick you
Your mama too
And your daddy

Your mama, your daddy
Your greasy, greasy grandmammy
You got a hole in your panty
Got a big behind like frankenstein
Going beep-beep-beep down sesame street
Toot-toot-toot wear army boots
In your ear with a can of beer
Up your butt with a coconut

I'm gonna knock your head off with this hot rock
And I do want you to wear
A condom
But that's okay then
I'm just gonna kick your ass out
And I'm a little gay so I'm going to go get an ice cream
What do you say baby?
We'll roll this baby around
When the heat is raging
Like your daddy in the kitchen
But as your daddy in the kitchen it's okay baby
When your daddy does his cooking
And your daddy, in the kitchen
We can all laugh
But let's leave the sauce out
And your mommy will sit on her couch in the lounge like momma
We're gonna roll this baby around
Baby girl you ready for me?
Baby girl you ready for me?
Baby, girl, girl
Don't be a little bitch
You don't give a damn
I ain't gonna tell a motherfuckin'

Baldrick: “I have a plan, sir.”
Blackadder: “Really, Baldrick? A cunning and subtle one?”
Baldrick: “Yes, sir.”
Blackadder: “As cunning as a fox who’s just been appointed Professor of Cunning at Oxford University?”

Baldrick: “Yes, sir.”
Blackadder: “As cunning as a rogue of Shakespeare’s own creation?”
Baldrick: “Yes, sir.”
Blackadder: “As cunning as an assassin dressed as a detective?”
Baldrick: “Yes, sir.“
[The actor then takes the lead. The pair have to make a choice between the two. If they choose "Cunning" it gives Blackadder the option to kill Baldrick, leaving the other choices open. Blackadder then takes the last option - to cut down the snake, which cuts into his liver. A final sequence reveals a scene with a cut-out of Baldrick who has been taken to hospital with a heart attack. The camera then zooms out on the actor performing his turn as the audience watches the actor fall to the floor.]

3 1/2 tablespoons olive oil.
6 slices bacon.
3 pounds lean stewing beef cut into 2-inch cubes.
Salt and pepper.
2 carrots sliced.
10-12 small pearl onions OR 1 small white onion diced.
8 ounce mushrooms sliced.
2 cups red wine young and full-bodied (like Beaujolais, Cotes du Rhone or Burgundy)

½ cup water (about 2 quarts, enough if you need a lot of it to bring up the liquid)
2 tablespoons butter. You don't need to add it right away.

Pour some of the vegetable broth into the bowl of a food processor or blender. Pulse until all of the fat and water have evaporated and the soup comes up with a nice, fluffy consistency.

Add the rest of the vegetable broth in the same mixing bowl.

Add the onions and mushrooms. Saute for a few minutes over medium heat, until well-browned. If you don't have room in your kitchen for lots of onions and mushrooms, then cut them into pieces and toss them in a bowl of water.

Stir in the beef bouillon cube and a cup or two of water that has been added to the pot. Bring to a boil and then lower heat and simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally for 20-30 minutes, or until the beef

is a hot dog a sandwich?

A hot dog is a sandwich, but a hot dog is not a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich

When I buy a sandwich, the sandwich I'm buying is a sandwich. How could it be otherwise?!

I bought the sandwich.

I got the hot dog.

I ate it.

You're right, a hot dog is a sandwich, but a hot dog is not a sandwich. A hot dog is a sandwich.

If you want to know about why you need one to eat a sandwich, ask your grandma.
