And when I'm dreamin', well, I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
When I go out (When I go out), well, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And when I come home (when I come home), yes, I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
I'm gonna be the man who's comin' home with you
But I would walk five hundred miles
And I would walk five hundred more
Just to be the man who walked a thousand
Miles to fall down at your door
Perfecting Equilibrium Hits 500
We reached 500 subscribers June 7: 159 on Substack, and 341 on LinkedIn. PE has been growing slowly and steadily and organically. We’re up a little over 100 subscribers in the past year; just over 20 percent. The only marketing I do is to share each post to Facebook and Notes after they are published. And people are reading; last week’s 3 posts and digest accounted for 1,943 impressions across both platforms. (There are more readers than subscribers.) Thanks to everyone for reading!
Comments of the Week
On Why AIs dream of gluing cheese to your pizza:
Tom Johnson: I guess your boys in Conn. eventually moved to Florida, adapting the collective name "Florida Man...." because it used fewer charcters in the heds.
Lynn W Gardner: So why not build your LLM based on the information in Encyclopaedia Britannia or even The World Book???
Cjf: It's a question of scale; even an encyclopedia is way too small to train an LLM. But I'm hopeful; the Library of Congress collection is now available for training. That makes sense to me, especially because it is well cataloged.

My brain is a peculiar place; it likes to play word association, and then play back songs with those words. Here are the songs playing in my mind as I wrote these articles.
