I feel like there are much higher targets for the signal right now.

My company is experimenting with using LLMs for yearly reviews and it works just like this. We feed in some bullet points of accomplishments and hope the LLM doesn’t fuck it up. Then the manager gets a condensed version down from the summaries.

Like why bother have the llm in the middle? Can’t I just send data?

It's worth watching the full video here.

On top of the missing minute, there's the following discrepancies (and many more that I don't remember off hand)

  • The camera footage is at an angle where you can't see one of the staircases to Epstein's cell. Someone could easily avoid that camera.
  • There's a 3rd person that comes in at 12:05 that's not identified in the report
  • The aspect ratio changes halfway through, suggesting a bad splicing
  • You can see a mouse cursor at one point

To add on to OP's discrepancy bullet list, the aspect ratio changed after the missing minute and the meta data says "saved" a few times. Meaning, it isn't raw data, there's no way.

The intrigue: The "Rule of Five" law allows any five members of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to request federal agencies to provide information about "any matter within the jurisdiction of the committee."

Sorry again for changing the headline but wanted the interesting part out again. Full video in the story.

Jeffrey Epstein’s Birthday Album Included Letters From Bill Clinton, Leon Black

Former president, Wall Street billionaire were listed along with Donald Trump as ‘friends’ in the 2003 book’s table of contents, which named around five dozen contributors

By Khadeeja Safdar and Joe Palazzolo

In the end, she was successful. The leather-bound album—assembled before Epstein was first arrested in 2006—included a page with a single paragraph in Clinton’s distinctive scrawl:

It’s reassuring isn’t it, to have lasted as long, across all the years of learning and knowing, adventures and [illegible word], and also to have your childlike curiosity, the drive to make a difference and the solace of friends.

A spokesman for Clinton declined to comment on the birthday message, which was reviewed by the Journal. He referred the Journal to a previous statement that the former president had cut off ties more than a decade before Epstein was arrested in 2019 and didn’t know about Epstein’s alleged crimes.

The former president was among around five dozen people, including Donald Trump, Wall Street billionaire Leon Black, fashion designer Vera Wang and media owner Mort Zuckerman, who ended up with letters in the 2003 book, according to documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.

The letter bearing Trump’s signature, which had the outline of a naked woman, was one of the more memorable pages, according to the people involved in putting the album together. Trump has called the letter “a fake thing.”

The professionally bound birthday book had multiple volumes and included a table of contents that listed the contributions, organized into groups. While many letter writers weren’t famous, some categories had notable people.

Clinton and Trump were listed under the “Friends” group, along with about 20 other associates such as Black, Zuckerman, former Victoria’s Secret leader Leslie Wexner, attorney Alan Dershowitz, and the late Jean-Luc Brunel, who ran a modeling agency. Zuckerman didn’t respond to requests for comment.

A “Business” group included the late Alan “Ace” Greenberg and the late James “Jimmy” Cayne. Both men worked at Bear Stearns when Epstein was at the investment bank in the 1970s.

Other people were grouped under categories such as “Science,” “Brooklyn” and “Family.”

Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud.

I am so tired of everyone and everything trying to shove AI down my throat.

My current job’s CEO has done nothing but say we need to do nothing but AI our life to the point where they cut all our old stipends and replaced it with an AI stipend. My last job installed an AI plugin in our browser so we’d feed their llm our data. Everyone has a worthless llm chatbot that no one asked for.

I’m tired man. I’m sick of everything demanding I use this thing so they can try to replace me with it. It’s like being asked to train my replacement.

Dancers dressed in red, white and blue joined Lamar. But even in their patriotic colors, they were labeled “too loud, too reckless, too ghetto,” by Jackson’s Uncle Sam, who reminded Lamar to “play the game.” Then, he launched into “Humble.,” “DNA.,” “Euphoria” and “man at the garden.”

“Score keeper, deduct one life,” Jackson interrupted again.

It wasn't anything blatant but it definitely goes against the messaging of the current administration

I can't believe we're a few votes away from having a stooge at the helm and an anti vaxxer as the head of the CDC and FDA.

This fucking hurts.

The fact that this election is close makes this all even worse.

IIRC from Michael Lewis' book Obama did this because W Bush did it for him and he appreciated it greatly.

Just pointing this out to show how really fucked it is to ignore that playbook

My favorite was getting reamed because you put 30 minutes over the estimated hours on a task.

It made task accounting a nightmare as you'd have to dump hours onto unrelated task whenever something inevitably took longer than expected.

Waterfall is missing the part where the customer realizes they didn't actually want to go to Mars they just wanted to view it out of a telescope.

But now they can only travel to Mars and the telescope is out of the budget because you spent so much money on the rocket
