He could be expressing the generational frustration of being black in America. When things are so segregated you feel you are looking across at a different country landing on the moon, you might write such a poem.

I’ll stand by it. Frustration is genuine. Using it as an excuse for racism doesn’t have an obvious reason to scale with distress.
If you think I’m saying the input horror is similar, I’m not. But there isn’t a law of proportionality for racism. If you think being racist is okay because something in your past excuses bad behavior, I disagree with qualification.
> It's safe to assume that racist young Republicans contribute more to the difficulty of being black in America than vice versa
If racism follows “eye for an eye,” sure. I don’t think most people feel someone being discriminated at when young is excused from being racist when older. If that is the case, everyone who had any poverty in their childhood is off the hook for horrible behavior. That isn’t true, at least for most voters anywhere.
I had the same but I am thinking of updating to see if I can optimize my terminal a bit. Roboto has font weights, and probably has a better emoji pack, although that's just a guess -- maybe google doesn't tack on emojis by default.
Sometimes I see a silver lining to this behavior but it comes down to personal taste. A number of people likely appreciate that nice buffer between them and Kihei.
Do you mean the distribution of representable numbers as floats or do you mean real numbers? I always assumed infinity was stored between 0-1 because you can 1/x everything. But I have never had enough free opportunity time for maths.
I'm not sure how to answer because I'm not sure which question you're asking.
For infinity, neither can you calculate +/-inf but there also aren't an infinite set of representable numbers on [0,1]. You get more with fp64 and more with fp128 but it's still finite. This is what leads to that thing where you might add numbers and get something like 1.9999999998 (I did not count the number of 9s). Look at how numbers are represented on computers. It uses a system with mantissa and exponents. You'll see there are more representable numbers on [-1,1] than in other ranges. Makes that kind of normalization important when doing math work on computers.
This also causes breakdowns in seemingly ordinary math. Such as adding and multiplying not being associative. It doesn't work with finite precision, which means you don't want fields to with in. This is regardless of the precision level, which is why I made my previous comment.
For real numbers, we're talking about computers. Computers only use a finite subset of the real numbers. I'm not sure why you're bringing them up
- I wrote an extension in Pi to warm my cache with a heartbeat.
- I wrote another to block submission after the cache expired (heartbeats disabled or run out)
- I wrote a third to hard limit my context window.
- I wrote a fourth to handle cache control placement before forking context for fan out.
- my initial prompt was 1000 tokens, improving cache efficiency.
Anthropic is STOMPING on the diversity of use cases of their universal tool, see you when you recover.
