Replying to @futurebird@sauropods.win
@futurebird@sauropods.win Something I've thought about a lot is how the writer of a book or piece of music lays the groundwork for a moment of catharsis. If you take out some of that groundwork, the magic may not happen. For example, the bridge in a song only works because of what came before it.

"The oat fiber itself has been shown to act as a prebiotic, boosting the growth of beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria. So, between the lack of animal protein, lack of animal fat, and bursting at the seams with prebiotic fiber, it’s no wonder that oatmeal diets grew to become part of the clinical routine in the treatment of diabetes." #vegan #diabetes https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/the-science-behind-oatmeal-and-diabetes/

"Maryanne Wolf, a cognitive neuroscientist at UCLA, argues that people are losing the ability to think deeply about writing. That doesn’t mean they are forgetting how to decode individual words. Rather, they are losing the higher-order abilities of comprehension and synthesis. America, in other words, isn’t illiterate. It’s postliterate." #GiftLink https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/2026/08/reading-crisis-postliterate-age/687618/?gift=XPfnPsIJYU4sjgFUASyQNZCV3wr--RK5gnVQkTYR5ts&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

@MartinEscardo@mathstodon.xyz It wasn't a criticism. But one of the reasons I'm not (so far) adopting AI is I like to know whose work I'm building on, and to be able to give credit. Not sure what would have happened if you asked Claude to tell you what in its training data it was building on.

Replying to @MartinEscardo@mathstodon.xyz
@MartinEscardo@mathstodon.xyz "everything else was written by Claude ..." I'm no expert, but I believe that the concept of "written by Claude" can mean dramatically different things depending upon what it's been trained on. Suppose it was trained on a similar proof, and only had to tweak it? Are full proofs embedded in the models, so they can be extracted with the right prompts? I think the answer is yes, but again I'm no expert.

This correlates with the hormonal environment we experienced in our mother's womb, which is imperfectly determined by our sex chromosomes. Index > ring is the female pattern, ring > index is the male one.

@LinuxAndYarn@mastodon.social @futurebird@sauropods.win I also didn’t, but honestly depending on how this goes, it won't make any difference. I’m concerned that, say, SSA still has in their “primary” database people's original sex designation - or in another interoperable one. But it also seems possible it's only in paper records, which would be a way harder lift to do anything with.
