A firetruck can’t make a turn and Cuyler Plaza meets its end
Jimmy shows how tough he is and takes a stand against graffiti
A vigilante video offering a hundred-dollar bounty
It's the last day of this dumpster fire known as 2020
Let's recap some shenanigans - #Ward45 sure had plenty
In January, Jimmy called out The Crew at Copernicus
A photo bomber, a bounty, and the mayor visited us

Stay tuned for the #livetweet of this #45theward community meaning.

Sarcasm and hyperbole probably unintentional.

A firetruck can’t make a turn and Cuyler Plaza meets its end
Jimmy shows how tough he is and takes a stand against graffiti
A vigilante video offering a hundred-dollar bounty
And barely wins committeeman - his enormous signs everywhere
In April Willie Wilson donates masks, Jimmy hands out burgers Epically
He can't seem to figure out how to wear a mask properly
Jimmy patrols the ward from the threat of antifa activitists
While constituents march for racial justice
“Where’s Jim Gardiner” the crowd chants
Asked if he believes Black lives matter by a Black man
Jim doesn’t answer, instead just deflects
A defining cowardly moment - one we won’t forget

Here is the isolated video of the last minute of the conversation where he refuses to acknowledge black lives matter. #BlackLivesMatter #CPACNow #twill pic.twitter.com/Yttlp4ukIA

Jimmy used CFD for park clean up, and gets caught when trying to lurk
He's also mad this month about an overturned porta loo
If it can be proven - but only if - he’s in favor of removing Columbus' statue
I mean, really, what’s the big deal about few more scratches and dents?
Power outages and cleanup from the winds of the Derecho
The month ends with a "heroic" save from a predatory Lincoln Tow

My favorite part of this video is the person on the left that appears to be videoing while someone else is videoing. pic.twitter.com/7XNnKlqg9r

And unveils a brand new flood-free $225,000 alley
A secret wedding to the mayor's Senior Advisor of Intergovernmental Affairs
Jimmy dressed up like Bernie for the Trick or treat drive through
If you called the Democratic Committeeman Jim claimed he didn't know who
Then surprise! He and Charles are served with a lawsuit
And we can’t say for certain, because we don’t actually know
But it’s possible he had someone throw a brick though a window
We learned about apparent voter fraud by the guy at City News
Jim killed another development because the NIMBYs complained about density
And it turned out defendent Jim won't be represented by the City
Like Copernicus trying to steal the firehouse from Lake Effect Beer

Listen my friends and I'll tell you a tale

Of an abandoned firehouse and a ten dollar sale
Far away in Jeff Park by Copernicus Center
Where NIMBYs love parking and hate on the renters
Stands an old firehouse full of asbestos
Flood damage, lead paint, and probably fungus
It’s been a hell of a year, let’s put it behind us, and hope 2021 brings some indictments
More from For later read
There is some valuable analysis in this report, but on the defense front this report is deeply flawed. There are other sections of value in report but, candidly, I don't think it helps us think through critical question of Taiwan defense issues in clear & well-grounded way. 1/
Normally as it might seem churlish to be so critical, but @cfr is so high-profile & the co-authors so distinguished I think it’s key to be clear. If not, people - including in Beijing - could get the wrong idea & this report could do real harm if influential on defense issues. 2/
BLUF: The defense discussion in this report does not engage at the depth needed to add to this critical debate. Accordingly conclusions in report are ill-founded - & in key parts harmful/misleading, esp that US shldnt be prepared defend Taiwan directly (alongside own efforts). 3/
The root of the problem is that report doesn't engage w the real debate on TWN defense issues or, frankly, the facts as knowable in public. Perhaps the most direct proof of this: The citations. There is nothing in the citations to @DeptofDefense China Military Power Report...4/
Nor to vast majority of leading informed sources on this like Ochmanek, the @RANDCorporation Scorecard, @CNAS, etc. This is esp salient b/c co-authors by their own admission have v little insight into contemporary military issues. & both last served in govt in Bush 43. 5/
This is an excellent report, and I'm glad to have joined the study group. The central focus on avoiding war is understandable--a US-China war would be catastrophic and should be avoided. But protecting Taiwan's security and prosperity requires doing more. 1/x https://t.co/P0Sg4LJcpV

Nice to discover Judea Pearl ask a fundamental question. What's an 'inductive bias'?
I crucial step on the road towards AGI is a richer vocabulary for reasoning about inductive biases.
explores the apparent impedance mismatch between inductive biases and causal reasoning. But isn't the logical thinking required for good causal reasoning also not an inductive bias?
An inductive bias is what C.S. Peirce would call a habit. It is a habit of reasoning. Logical thinking is like a Platonic solid of the many kinds of heuristics that are discovered.
The kind of black and white logic that is found in digital computers is critical to the emergence of today's information economy. This of course is not the same logic that drives the general intelligence that lives in the same economy.
Help! What precisely is "inductive bias"? Some ML researchers are in the opinion that the machine learning category of \u2018inductive biases\u2019 can allow us to build a causal understanding of the world. My Ladder of Causation says: "This is mathematically impossible". Who is right? 1/
