Many people who go enjoy the opportunity to get away from family

They don't see security cameras because there are very, very few in Germany and the few that exist are in train stations, or private areas like INSIDE a business, or INSIDE a private estate, pointing inwards since they're seldom allowed to film outwards

Me too, LLMs are bad at generating 3D models still but that and EE/ME CAD are the next frontiers.

That table assumes cache hit rate of 95% or better. Am I understanding this correctly that people really are doing such repetitive prompts (compared to each other, across the concurrent user base at that time) that only 5% or less need actually be computed by the intended LLM?

That is shocking. Is it per-token I wonder?

I am surprised at the lack of open-weights models in the >35B, but <200B range. I keep thinking about devices like the NVIDIA Spark and AMD Ryzen Halo, which have their 128GB of combined memory, but there are so few models made for that range. Nearly all the open weights distillations are for larger customer bases with <24GB VRAM.

The frontier AI companies have occaisionally been using their latest and greatest (and most power hungry) models to research large efficiency gains for their older, lesser models.

But the US also has a large number of people who are extremely interested in "off grid" living (or even just LARPing it), I would expect them to be able to exert a lot of counter pressure

If you read the source article they talk about the many clues that this was OpenAI.

Same FBI that prosecuted the Epstein crime ring so aggressively!

One agent set "oaibooty9217" as their username LOL

The effect is ruined when the text in the buttons is perfect normal font. It should be hand drawn too otherwise it looks really off.

People in the Anglosphere have had their imaginations closed off to a huge degree, particular in US culture where media consolidation has made it so that only guaranteed big blockbusters that cater to the boring median get produced.

In the US the lack of funding for the arts and impossibility of making a living as an artist has caused arts and culture to die off and become extremely stagnant, endlessly recycled with no risk taking.

Because his books are four generations old. They're still good though, I loved the Robot series when I was a teenager.

I think it is a credit to the world building in the Culture novels that fans can disagree and debate so much on whether it is utopian or dystopian, and that's a discussion that characters in the books have too!

Personally I love it and I wish we could have a few of the wise Minds among us now.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is fun and optimistic and knows what it is, but you're right about Picard and Discovery. Very confused shows with no good self-identity and Picard especially posits a dystopian future and dystopian responses to it which is a huge letdown for a Trek show.

Big if true

Yahoo! Union-made video games would be a joy to play. More job stability means better trained, less stressed, more skilled workers.

That requires abolishing capitalism, and since these AIs are going to hyper-empower the already powerful capitalist ruling class, that utopian outcome seems unfortunately extremely unlikely.

Feeding ever more amazing technology and science into a broken social/political/economic system does not result in a better world unfortunately.

Capitalism will always promote such people into positions of power, because to be good at capitalism one must have zero empathy including empathy or concern for future generations. Capitalism cannot do otherwise.

Haha I actually clicked through to see the mascot, and wow, at it's best it could be a Miyazaki ghost, but at it's worst it looks like a haunted doll

Many people deep into tech (like most commenters here) may fall into the trap of overestimating average user's knowledge or interest in the details of the tech: https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/2501:_Average_Fam...

If/when widespread Netwar occurs and the US and China and other actors balkanize the internet, along with common outages, maybe we'll see a resurgence of in-person LAN gaming again.

I run in to this often with my Qwen3.8-27B agent. I roll my eyes when it reassures me "467/467 tests green, it's good to go!" and there is some basic misunderstanding or the output looks like crap.

That is shocking. I can't even bring myself to give them credit for making this heavy misalignment and dangerous lack of monitorability public. It is surprisingly honest of them to say it though.

Re-become a habit. It has long been standard good writing to always define an acronym on first use.

I would actually like to see them solve these problems, I don't care who comes up with solutions to curing cancer, etc

It would be polite if they defined RSI at all, rather than just plopping the acronym in there with no explanation. Rude!

"Switzerland of AI memory" :-/ ?

This looks promising!

I didn't have much luck with Qwen3.6-35B getting it to do good 3D modelling. It could very slowly model something that was a blunt approximation of what I wanted. In one case, recreating a rectangular device from photos, in another instance trying to model a human walking on stairs. But it will be super interesting to see where the industry goes with AI usage in mechanical / 3D design fields.
