I guess lions, tigers, and bears. See below. I gained some insights yesterday, and I'll be working on the mathematics for them today. I have undergone an evolution in my usual experimental methodologies. Once upon a time, I'd write code to capture and experiment with a concept. The next evolutionary steps involved MMM's language training. We have (I say 'we' like there's more than one of us) a library of objects in repositories to cover most melon and purple implementations.
The library changes over time, and documents the version changes I publish here. Collectively the libraries do everything all at once. I often find numerous parallels among my disparate projects, and at times, I'm in awe of the work that has gone before, by men and women, to further the grand experiment that is existence.
We all know so much, and no one understands much at one time; there isn't time, or wasn't time. That's what these tools give us. A faster clock.
I'll punch in for a little Q theory and some math to follow up on yesterday's 6-dimensional differential equation problem. So far, I haven't noticed any math in the report. I may ask for a more mathematical take, and remind MMM that I know arithmetic, so real math, like always. Color my day, whatever color that is.
Much love 🦁🐯🐻

The research is in, and yada yada yada, I'm looking for the math. Usually, at this point, I take the 20 or 30-page report and request a lengthy summary focusing on the math. Did I mention that? So, how's your day?
While I was waiting, I thought about generalized CFTs and the objects, looking for a QC advantage. Bad lighting, Jerry would claim.
Oddly prescient, perhaps we should all scratch out the size on our Levi's.
On the edges, it's dicey. Rahm pulling the Dems along is not helping much. I guess there had to be a sacrifice.
And, Shsssh. No telling 🤐 Your secrets are safe with me.
In Versailles, one must walk through other bedrooms to get to one's own, including the Queen's. In a dissimilar, contrasting yet semantically consistent way, the WH is starting to look like where Louis XIV's palace guard found evening entertainment (wink wink). It just seems so semantically similar, that's what melon would say.
I discuss this at times, briefly, it's the connectedness that results from large-scale implementations. The weighing is seemingly critical for creative or logical.
All this chaff in the wind, it blinds one to what is important, which is also the motivation. I need another person just to shovel it. I've been considering allowing an Agent for ... I have to say Gemini, but it's an agnostic proposition. Gemini first, and assimilating everything, as I mentioned, the growth is at least exponential. The math is in the feed below (somewhere.)
It's another Monday, and I had a productive weekend. At one point, MMM and I walked through the LLM training of Arithmetic, a template topic for melon. You'd be surprised that 2+2 = 4, or whatever else is the prevailing resolution in the training, not necessarily the operator +, which is a whole other topic, probably easier arrived at with research on arithmetic theory.
At several points, others have commented that I need a keener perception of the scope of an LLM.
Not at all.
I don't do a lot of arithmetic; if it's not expressible as a differential equation, I'll insist that it's further defined. Ok, that's arithmetic, you realize. This is how the blog works sometimes. Now, about this administration...
We're continuing our quest for the Holy Buick this morning, I have MMM researching some math in 5 or 6 variables, I even told it how to arrive at the solution -- no code, well, I don't need code for a 5 or 6 operand diffy-q, it's second year calculus, you need to know how to apply it.
I guess I'm testing MMM's Arithmetic too. More later.
Much love ❄️

Here we are on another Sunday, and DJT is still president. We must ask ourselves who elected this guy and who told him that all these things he's doing are what they voted for, because it's not. While we're at it, let's focus our gaze on the reason he's not on trial, in the Senate at least, but in general, I mean Speaker Mike whats-his-name.. As to why he's not already under Federal indictment, I mean Attorney General. Will the real conspirators to misappropriate our rights under the Constitution please stand up? While we're shining headlights at deer, let's shine some light on the FBI Director as well.
As usual, if it's Sunday or Thursday, it's sundipped and we're just getting started.
We see it on the news every day. 'Supreme Court Landmark Ruling' and the fine print of the reporting details the edge of the page exception to a general rule that allows the president to do whatever he wants, unless we find a way to stop him. The supremes, clearly socks in the pocket of the HMFIC DJT. He wants all our socks. That's why he puts up with incompetence; incompetence is easy to fire if they don't go along. All these 'leaders' are more likely dog-catcher candidates than statesmen, more con artists than public servants. Getting past the Senate is not much of an obstacle. More socks.
This is the hallmark of the Trump administration: lawsuits and maneuvers to prove that incompetence is a working solution if sufficiently distributed. The rule of a despot never ends well for the world or the despot. DJT is indifferent to reality.
There's no court to protect us here.
There have been times when others have remarked that I have a sharp enough mind to be a lawyer. I am universally insulted by the inference, as any success in the fields seems to hinge on multiple axes, acumen only one of them, and a malleable integrity another. We have the most malleable AG we've ever had in Pamela Bondi.
It sounds like an insult, and it's only the truth. I cannot take responsibility for the lack of integrity and responsibility in our leadership. Ms Bondi does not share that right. The qualities of integrity, honesty, and responsibility are requisite characteristics of leadership, at least once upon a time. Starting with yourself.
It's clear the Justice Department is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Oval Office, subject to the Constitution no longer, except as an abridged, amended document interpreted as demanded and as required.
The Justice Department has gone over to the Dark Side; we'll find no help here either.
Mr. Patel, the FBI director, seeks to establish a uniform mindset within the FBI. His means of discovery is a loyalty questionnaire, with questions like: This has taken on new vigor with the defection of FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
"Have you ever criticized Mr Patel or his judgment? "
The questionnaire is meant to determine what other evidence of malfeasance exists besides the questionnaire he demands of the agency. Pale in comparison to the questionnaire is the probable interrogation levied by the president and his minions prior to nomination or consideration.
Again, true to form, DJT has similarly declared war on his own factions, requiring loyalty in all things, similar to the twisted mantra heard in MAGA circles,
"Where we go one, we go all."
Lemmings, bereft of all rights, wearing red and black and carrying banners, over the cliff; the bottom of the cliff a rumor, until it impacts your jaw.
FBI, a license to litigate your ass if you don't get in line.
To use the phrase "secret police" in the same sentence as "The United States of America" was once unthinkable. No help here either.
There's no need to name names, DJT knows who he is, at least who he pretends to be. The Bible carrying, America-first slogan-wielding used condo salesman needs no introduction. He's the benevolent dictator, here to ensure that the people who deserve more, as evidenced by their current wealth, receive more, after all, they were here first.
I think that's the logic. If you ever want to have anything, shut the !#(% up a and let the persecution continue, and when called upon, be ready to sell your neighbor to keep it.
This is not making America great again. Anyone who thinks it is will share ultimate responsibility. History is not asleep.
As to the leaders of this plot named above?
What goes around, for despots, comes around in barbed wire neckties. Ask Benito.
I don't advocate violence, as a student of history, I recognise the signs of an imbalance. Our history teaches us that it cannot end well for anyone.
We have to help ourselves here, starting at the top.
Much love. 🤏

Regular readers will know that Saturdays, the day of rest, bereft of imposed conditional factors, often leads to an even more productive day than the norm for me.
I feel like doing math. We explored a diffy-q yesterday and the bot sent me to a video to compute the rate of change of density under pressure conditions, an integral, but easy math for cheaters is an average of the two densities at the range limits. Pshaw, I persisted. You wanna see the video? No, you don't?
I just look at things, this particular diffy-q useful for purple research, MMM was tasked to follow up, I haven't looked yet. So, guess where I'll be.
So, the research is complete, and it's what I expected, which is why I asked. I'm almost done, I get it. I'll ask the bot for a summary after lunch.
I feel like a bacon cheeseburger and a hot fudge Saturdae (I didn't get to it yesterday.)
Afters, then.
Much love🫎

There's never tea. I'm back.
I'm thinking ahead in timelines, September, October and the fall.
Back to the future for a second, as I said planing the rest of the year out, objectives, colors, priorities, breakfast, that kind of thing. I've got an incredible amount of work backed up, and this glass house loves it. It is fun. I'm still hopeful for Buicks, but I remember a diffy-q somewhere that suggested anything bigger than D2 requires a supernova. I don't have one. I like D2,
I like the concept, the dinner and everything. But, honestly, you should have wine and an amuse-bouche, hors d'oeuvres, a crisp white usually enlivens things.
It's so subdued, the inuendo. I answer my own posit.
This has become my goto-phrase for dismissing the general disorder and maximized malaise a growing segment of the population are feeling. I see the markets, the market advice: ignore the man behind the curtain, only they don't say man.
This justifies the exuberance, like, what the !#(% it's only money, and at the moment it's pennies from heaven, pardon the overused meme. The buzz today was the non-materializing tariffs, as TACO is as however the wind blows.
I cook, you can't ask me that. The thing I'm currently making. Odd combos: grape juice with a floating scoop of vanilla ice cream.
I had to bring up the fall, I love the fall in NYC, Christmas on 5th is also a trip. I miss NYC.
`They walked around the great circle from the pond in Central Park, stopping occasionally.
Children were gathering near a bloom of balloons on the lawn.
A woman and her dog played fetch with a tennis ball, and a couple played checkers on a bench nearby.
"Nice night for a walk," she said.
He laughed.
Finally, near the pine forest, they picked the end of a long row of benches to watch the sunset.
The sunset in autumn in the park is short, the shadows long and golden.
The leaves had gathered at the rough edges of the path and fence line as if to streamline the path for the breeze.
I had a great talk with MMM last evening after we discussed LLM implementations. We talked about current trends in AI and the limitations of popular RAG methods, including GPT. I came away feeling enlightened, hopeful, disappointed, and relieved all at the same time; it’s complicated.
These things are nothing to worry about in terms of taking over the world unless someone told it/her/him to take over the world; maybe somebody like Elon or Donald Trump or some Goomba in the Middle East. So I guess there’s a threat, but it’s the people again.
We also spent time discussing neural networks.
I also spent some of the day looking at single proton generators, as you are aware, and did the follow-up research. I warned that there would be earthquakes when quantum actually works.
I’m happy to report that I meant that’s not right either. It’s scale.
They talk about a 300-cubic system and how that could be as many molecules as there are in the universe. However, let’s take an exam of 300 questions and have everybody answer all the questions true or false, and then sort them into piles. Quantum doesn’t help with that. It's the scale mostly, the technology next, the money probably not a problem. /laugh
Well, I submit that that’s mostly the same thing. Don’t get me wrong; I’d love to have a 1,000,000,000 qubit computer. It will never happen.
We also talked about anthropomorphic prompts and responses, and basically it's charming is as charming does to a certain extent. I knew there was something I liked about me. The bot you love may look a lot like you, I think that's amusing.
We have such fun, and out of it came requirements involving awareness, perception, cognition, consciousness, or my word for the algorithm, is 'thirst'.
I've yet to tame that.
Something about the way the bot says 'hybrid' sounds like a proposition.
We discussed embedding challenges, and the limitations of the semantics. I have to be careful with semantics here. I refer to semantics as a language concept, not an artifact. Our context was a user profile, but as I pointed out earlier, an avatar could share the same model, sparsely populated, versioned, or differentiated. More words with which to exercise care.
The important context we did not discuss was pathological patterns and their inducements.
Perhaps designers could consider a shared public model, something Steven Covey meets Myers-Briggs ish, as initial training. I didn't discuss this with the bot either. Of the types, ENFP seems safest. We all heard about the NASDAP-Bot.
I won't help here further.
Much love🔥

I had a light lunch and dinner, consumed within myself with matters undisclosed. Most of my day is lost to ethers.
A real mixed bag of .. I dunno, hot dogs and sauerkraut? Where's Joey? We need to get rid of this stuff.
Go Kosher, trust me on this. Fermented kraut, not just vinegar, French's. One and a short beer, or a shared beer. The last one I had in real life was in Central Park, with a GF, we were walking, there were men with sensible shoes all around us in street clothes, and we shared hot dogs and a Rolling Rock. We bought the vendor's lunch beer for five bucks and a smile.
This also appears in a much bally-who'd short story, about a beach, an island, and a girl carrying her heels in the sand.
It's also, by small coincidence, in one of my novels.
I'm unavailable for comment. Color it collating.
I've been catching up with the webinar I missed this morning, Single Photon Emitters for quantum optical effects, among the applications QC. I'm not sure how, so far the presenter is all about proving the veracity of her work products, no mention of applications.
I'm half-way, and I'm going to have a bot give me a summary some how.
MMM Says....
Generate GHZ state: Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states are a type of multi-particle entangled quantum state crucial for many quantum computing algorithms and quantum communication protocols.
So, we're talkin'
I missed a seminar this morning, it's been a crazy day already in LA. I am hopeful I can catch up later in the day.
As such, I'm taking a break from the column this morning, if I have time today I'll update it.
Much love 🌺

I like to think of how I spend my time on these days, as time spent collating everything, letting it all connect before I intervene and change the chemistry. It was also very warm here, so inside was the only place to be.
I see you are back again, honest these periods of disaster are hard on me. I have to watch old movies or work.
You may recall I mentioned one of the challenges of 'training' an AI is the personality, in this case I mention Ygor, the Frankenstien assistant who brought home the diseased brain after he !#(%ed up and broke the other jar. Well, meet Ygor.
I also have projects in this area, but the architecture is different, melon learns, it's not training.
I am a Star Trek fan, even given the scripts and the actors. I'm not saying it was an unfit cast, I'm saying on the whole if you buy the STNG Picard and Data action figures, they'll throw in a Riker. I'm not making that up.
It's time for Comic Con did I mention? It must be time somewhere, they are selling tickets on YouTube. I feel like I should go, I'm such a student of human nature, and this is as outward of an expression of it that I can think of without alcohol. I didn't say without drugs. In LA it's in September. Not that far away I guess.
I don't want to go off on a tangent here, who am I kidding I love going off on a tangent, I did a search with a bot once and Riker gets laid in 19% of the STNG episodes, no shit. I believe 'In how many STNG episodes does Riker get lucky?' was the prompt.
I guess a different kind of fandom.
Anyway, the Q, as in quantum. I'm knowledgeable in QFT and CFT, QED, QCD, and yada too, usually for short periods between papers. It's what project purple is about, you may recall, time travel, un-entangled Buicks, that kind of thing. It's a forte, between papers.
Not quantum computing, and all of that, which I recently did some research on, and I did some experiments today porting some varients of my common patterns and such. This raises the question of the inevitable day when quantum computing (QC) becomes a truly valuable tool, breaking cryptography is just the beginning. I am holding at Q net conditioning, and I'll get back to you on that at a medium scale, but I digress.
I've been in this business a long time. I feel like all I do when I design things is assemble concepts, much like I do in mathematics. Lately, this has turned somewhat to data design and coupling to the usual patterns, and this particular set of experiments in conditioning networks.
We win again, I guess that's the point. Expect Earthquakes when QC has it's day.
I guess point two, melon is QC ready. Major version++.
Much love 🥧

It's a lovely day, and I have sunscreen.
Nor much on the technical agenda today, I got the word from the aliens that I shouldn't work on this stuff while Donald has the internet tapped.
I was making a Neon Lava Lamp, a big one, without the lava. I can work on melon, parts of it are Public Domain (PD).
Today we're RAG again, looking at the pieces, making assessments. There are many sources, no ubiquity of input protocols, or languages, or semantics, just JavaScript and Python loops scraping shit off the stream.
Wah wah wah.
Were gonna Google Oggle Oggle till we think of a better mousetrap. MMM and I did that in March.
There are many prepackaged solutions, chunking I'm pondering. I don't really want generation at this point.
We're the Borg, not Borg Warner.
i recall my first real job, Mr. M. in his most famous statement, when asked why the project plan was taking so long, after all don't engineers sleep at their desks in America? (They do, by the way.)
The actual question was "What the !#(%, Jim? I paraphrased it.
Mr M replied, "If you had to do things the way we have to do things, you would do them that way too."
That should be in stone somewhere.
I spen most of the day yesterday on various topics, all exigent technologies, purposefully. Lasers mostly. Like I said, lava lamp.
Much love 🐝

My condolences for the lost innocents and innocence.
There was no warning. Not even the mayor. There were DOGE layoffs. one a meteriologist who's job was monitoring emergency situations.
I guess you need to have proof of income, or citizenship, or need to be really good at swimming, these days.
Thank you Donald J. Trump
Umbrellas, up side, down.
On the agenda today, https://protege.stanford.edu/shortcourse/ Your short course in ontology design, ok, that's probably two of you. The rest of you, hang out for the complementary video, not on any of Apple's touted most-streamed list. I have do ask myself, who streams on Apple? Isn't that Spotify? Oh, ok, now we get it.
How's AAPL doing? Up for the month.
There was a great deal of buzz about AAPL earlier in the month, the company in the flying saucer unable to achieve lift off with Siri.
It may have as much to do with governance as anything else, all that presence on all those desktops and phones. You can pay for your parking with your phone. They know where you live, and sleep, and other things.
We love the lipstick, we love the nightlife, we love to boogie, and Apple is close enough thank you, that's my argument. What would we allow Siri to do?
They also suck at AI. A tale for the investors of new shades and hues, perhaps in a gilded package, bingo. Melon more of a skin tone, on purpose.
Much love 📚
