While slop seems to be the popular term online, I never hear it spoken aloud. With Gen Alpha’s exposure to AI mostly through school, spoken media (youtube, tv), and their parents, “AI” probably cropped up independently as an insult

Like an FAQ I presume

room-temperature superconductors, sure, but I fail to see how quantum computing will disrupt – in the medium term (25 years or so) – classical computing in any meaningful way

Is running LLMs (or some other ML workload) on/with quantum computers expected to bring efficiency gains?

parent was being sarcastic

It’s not shipwrecks themselves that are particularly interesting, but in what they provide in contextual evidence to answer the foundational six questions: who, what, when, where, why, how.

> The Binh Chau cargo is an important find which provides physical evidence of the ceramic assemblage that was exported during the closing years of Tang Dynasty. It enable one to have a clearer understanding of the quality and type of ceramics wares that were produced for export. For Changsha and Xing wares, it represented the last phase of their illustrious role in the export trade. What they left behind were huge footprints and milestones in the history of Chinese porcelain production. The high fired polychrome decoration of Changsha and the transparent white glaze of Xing are necessary technical innovation which finally led to the successful production of blue and white and copper red underglaze decoration. As for Yue ware, it had yet to achieve its most glorious moments during the 5 Dynasties and Northern Song period. Guangdong greenwares continued to be an important export item till the Northern Song period.

Maybe they meant “Chou Kaguya-hime!” (2026). I haven’t watched it yet but Cosmic Princess Kaguya was really well received on release.

our station in orbit still experiences ~0.9g. it’s not clear if gravity experiments would be at all easier on it

how is this at all related to TFA

the issue is where to go?

codeberg, self-hosted forgejo, gitlab, still-beta sourcehut, tangled? github was “the git community” and now it’s fracturing—you need accounts everywhere, you can’t easily discover neat projects

i like tangled if only because it’s built on atproto which emphasizes ownership and transferability of identity: something that would make the move off github so much easier

might be A/B testing of titles that youtube lets creator's use

Whittaker’s background is in AI research. She talks a lot (and has been for a while) about the privacy implications of AI.

I’m not sure of any one thing that could be considered to prompt it. But a large one is the wide-deployment of models on devices with access to private information (Signal potentially included)

Signal doesn’t have anything to do with Confer besides sharing a founder (who is no longer involved at Signal)

it's easier to mandate font than to excise all processes within the fed bureaucracy that result in these.

images being digital have no bearing on OCR ability

an example from today (pdf warning): https://www.ntsb.gov/news/Documents/National%20Defense%20Aut...

printed documents, images, horribly inaccessible pdfs, horribly inaccessible websites

i’m not sure how end-of-life it will actually be because rosetta is used in apple/container and seems to be a large part of the virtualization stuff apple’s built in the last few years

it looks just like signal with a purple theme

thanks sophie. now if only this would get as many eyeballs as the inciting one

sigh

Damn. What’s with all the personal attacks against the author in this comments section?

do you have a citation for M5 having MTE?

- they don’t need to do anything to conform to your arbitrary organization choices

- hashes are as long or short as you need them to be

- publication timestamp is in every ebook’s metadata, is almost guaranteed to be unique, monotonically increases, and has actual semantic meaning compared to an isbn or oclc

choose your favorite hash

    hash(<dc:identifier>)

the ebook identifier uniquely identifies every ebook. standard ebook ebooks use the url as their unique identifier

installing third-party OSes on pixels does not void its warranty. It's one of the biggest reasons why GrapheneOS only supports Pixels and not e.g. Samsung's Galaxy lines.
