I believe that at some point in the next ten years, a "brain computer interface" will exist that detects some kind of neuron activity, runs it through a machine learning model, and translates it into LLM agent actions. It won't be anything as clean as "you think a sentence and it types it". It will be something one level lower than "prompting an AI". You do some vague mental thing and it translates into a result on the computer. I believe this product will not work, but be sold anyway. (1/2)
Why exactly isn’t Amazon a worker, consumer and supplier-owned cooperative? It isn't obvious that a billionaire creating ecosystem is needed, that acts like a gigantosaurus hoovering everything up
All these gritty sitcom reboots and not a single studio brave enough to take on Mr Ed. This man has a *talking horse*. In a stable like an animal! Consider the ethics! The powerful forces that don’t want a horse to talk! But plot twist: Mr Ed is ready to take matters into his own hooves.
do we want a thread of the music i’m listing to tonight? i’ve got some mixes going, so doesn’t matter if you want this or not im linking some music 🧵 🎧 youtu.be/xPM8LbV6ADU
Artms was great :youngeunthumb: They went all in on sexy concepts for this concert. The setlist was full of slow sexy songs. Jungeunie aegyo princess of course couldn't help herself and was constantly doing cute things though :wonkekw: I was hoping she would have hair extensions in since she cut off her beautiful hair but no.. Yerim had to perform eclipse in her place since Jungeun can't do the hair flips :chuukek2:
As a parent of a Kid Who Reads and a Kid Who Is Starting to Read, I 100% believe that publishing could put even a little more effort into MG and be rewarded for it. Kids *are* reading. I see it among 9yo's schoolmates, I see it among 5yo's. They love the school library. They love being read to.
It’s amazing how the #Warframe subreddit can melt down over the ask of having to coordinate with squad mates. I don’t blame DE in the least for being *very* cautious about the new 6 player mission.
Has anyone been on lurasidone?
The only long-term market for Google Playground's tech is spammers/scammers. Tech enthusiasts will try it for a few weeks before realizing they have no good ideas for games, but this is a gift to spammers who don't even have to bash together an asset flip anymore to make a convincing game build. "an early experiment designed to make game creation more approachable and ignite everyday creativity." There may have been an argument in the early days of computing when you'd have to purchase a compiler, it was an investment to throw coins at Borland and then have to learn coding. Not anymore. What sucks is Google knows its market shifted, just like how nvidia knew its market switched to cryptominers and now data centres. Of course we creatives are going to reject it. Google knows it's lying. We aren't the market, aside from a few dumb saps. The real money is in massive spam operations. #gamedev #google #googleplayground
I hate the sentiment “X disorder isn’t an excuse“ because people use it as a way to never give any disabled person grace or the benefit of the doubt
I am so over the non stop calls from 'recruiters' who only have a passing familiarity with english. I get these 2-3 times a day now, phone calls out of the blue for horribly unqualified positions. Latest had this bit of deep wisdom about the position. #recruiters #sre #jobs #tech
How much does the typical fox weigh?
The Milwaukee Brewers have eliminated the San Diego Padres. #Baseball can be cruel. San Diego had a great season. Milwaukee heads to the NLCS.
I suppose the obvious point of difference is that climate change will impact women disproportionately Men tend to be more egocentric (for whatever nature/nurture reasons), but I think we should feel empowered to call out these untouchable creeps who deny or delay www.ft.com/content/6111...
Yes, Hamas did terrible things on 10/7 and yes, the Israeli government has done far worse. The Hannibal Protocol, the coverup, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza. newscord.org/editorials/octobe…
What's a good Halloween costume for a very top heavy bimbo? 👻🎃
I so enjoy the protection provided to cyclists from motor vehicles by painted cycle lanes. #Sheffield #Cycling #BikeTooter
I don't think liking and enjoying art means you agree with the artist's personal viewpoints and takes. There's lots of people who like Rurouni Kenshin who aren't patrolling playgrounds for kids. I also believe that it's okay and valid to disassociate yourself with people who like things you don't.
Our current National government proposing random drug testing for people on jobseekers benefits. Given the importance of their jobs, I think maybe it should be mandatory for MPs. That and breath testing for alcohol. Similarly, I think their wage in parliament should match that of job seeking benefit, and the meals they get when at parliament be the same as school dinners. It might concentrate their minds a bit on what the impacts of their decisions actually are
Is it odd that we haven't had a single published poll for Holborn and St Pancras? Can I get the thread out?
The copyright problems with training LLMs feels a bit like the sampling craze in the 1990s. Queen and David Bowie vs. Vanilla Ice, for example. New tech → novel uses → no laws for fair use in that context → new laws are drafted. At a human level, knowledge should be free. The way that LLMs represent knowledge isn't specific to the work. Yet, even given this, there is an ethical prickle when using published content. I'm sure we'll figure it out, but it's not the controversy what we make it out to be, it's just a step in the evolution of humankind.
Hot Take: If you're a science communicator, you shouldn't be sharing articles that are behind a paywall. Screenshot the article, use an archiving tool, or choose another article that isn't behind a paywall. Our audience shouldn't have to pay to understand what we're talking about.
I finished Season 1 of "The Ark", and I must admit it does get better. The last few episodes of Season 1 are great, and make up for the absolute nonsense that is the first half of the season. I think I came in to the series expecting something akin to "The Expanse", because the writers had obviously thought about long-term space travel (cryo tubes, ark ships in general) and so I assumed they'd be all-in on getting the science right. The second half of the season, and the first few episodes of season 2 that I've watched, are more like Voyager than The Expanse - a plucky crew of misfits having to work together. Voyager wasn't my favourite Star Trek initially, but over the years it has grown on me - much like The Ark has. #TheArk
Readers: what's one book you've read this year that you don't think gets talked about enough? #BookSky
Dear Michael Bolton, I am sorry. Country music is so much worse than Light Rock was. Bring back Light Rock!
Octopuses are extraordinary, beautiful and intelligent. I can’t understand how anyone would want to farm or eat them.
Control is one of my favorite games of all time. I loved Alan Wake 2 and Quantum Break. I wanted to like Control Resonant so badly. But I find the fighting tedious, the level design confusing/frustrating, and the puzzles annoying - it's all such a slog 😢 The story is the only thing keeping me playing. Hope it gets better.
I'm doing an art challenge with my friends by writing little vignettes instead of drawing, and I kinda want to share some of them. Where's everyone posting stuff like flash fiction nowadays? Is SoFurry still a thing?
I do like the MPEG LA completely ruining what they had going (well, they're now like fifteen different patent pools if you want to guess how they ruined what they had), with everyone using MPEG almost exclusively for decades and AVC+AAC in particular seeing almost literally 100% adoption, and now HEVC/VVC have pathetic adoption while everyone loves VP9 and AV1
Golden State is the anti-Indiana or the team that Indiana thinks they are. Team over individual success. A joyful and inclusive fan culture that even opponents really respect. A reminder that you don’t have to throw other people under the bus in order to get ahead. And they’re making bank. #wnba
I just had an epiphany (I don't think it is a revolutionary idea, it just occurred to be for real for the first time) that one of the more important things a manager must do, to be successful is to deal with massive asymmetries. A manager (especially if you're a CEO, for example) has a thousand important things to manage. One of your people may come to you with a singular thing that is the most important thing to them right now. It is your job to understand and respect that and treat it ... 1/2
I have a technical help question about Feeds. I follow and dip into over sixty feeds because it’s a great way to get a pulse on a niche subject here. Recently the feed layout has changed from giving me all of them and letting me scroll/explore to giving me a random set of only five of them.
Just tom Wilson doing tom Wilson things: like scoarin fuckin GOALS. #ALLCAPS #RocktheRed
They are the funniest but I like all the girls on the show this year. It's two guys who should have stayed home. Sometimes that cranky thing is hilarious, this time, it's just grating.
This is way too ironic: Nero playing, Rome burning, Moscow calling itself the Third Rome...
Would AI be bad to replace my manager or just a bash script?
Too many car honks recently. Please remember that honks are for: - Alerting people to imminent danger, such as ICE agents in the vicinity. - Expressing your love your bikes. End of list.
Most of the belief in the potential of LLMs comes from blind faith in rich people and an inability to process that rich people are capable of being incompetent.
If we really want to reduce immigration, it's would need to be the later parts of a detail plan. Up front it would require several years of investment is education and training. Not window dressing, real change like free tuition for all and means tested allowances for living expenses. Anything less is destined for failure, with lots of adverse side effects across the community. Failing to do that, ends in MAGA style blow back for it's electoral supports.
This website still doesn't have Polls yet, but theoretically, if I were to start streaming video games, what would you wanna see? Pokemon Champions? Long form RPGs? Roguelikes? Or something else entirely.

I bet you there's fifteen miles of AIslop behind it these days. Because they think everyone listens to normie music and didn't consider that maybe "guy screaming over five different samples of a trash compactor" would be the sort of situation that requires a human touch. Even before that, though, the second they ended their partnership with Genius Lyrics it was all downhill from there.
I don’t think most folks are buying smartphones expecting high-end camera quality. They’re expecting a device with reasonable cameras for casual or professional purposes on a device that also meets other needs. Comparing the two comes across as silly at best, or as ragebait in some cases.
Spider-Noir was a lot of fun. But I’m a sucker for all the noir tropes, so every long shadow, smoke-filled room, and Dutch angle made me smile. And that’s before we even get to Cage’s zany performance. The Outstanding Cinematography Emmy Award is well deserved. Director of photography, Darran Tiernan also worked on Penguin and Perry Mason, which makes total sense. He’s on my radar to look for now in future projects. Fav shot: This split diopter and Dutch angle in one frame! #SpiderNoir #TV
got any bad sandwich ideas ?
He's choosin' Texas is a stupid song. I can't believe it set the record for most weeks at number one in America. No wonder I'm stuck in the early '90s and prior in terms of music.
"kpop has reached its limit" nah... the new talent has dried up. maybe you shouldn't have sabotaged your biggest artists' careers. you treated them like they were disposable and couldn't be bigger than the program... fucked around and found out
in other news, Mouse, P.I. For Higher has been great so far. Literally cheesy noir crime drama married to a fun, mobility focused old school boomer shooter store.steampowered.com/app/241…
I need to find information about music elements that are considered occult/satanic/sinful for algorithmic music stuff Anyone know any good resources? 𖤐🕯️😈🕯️𖤐
Nvidia saying wayland sucks is expected they've built their entire closed source driver around xorg so naturally it would be worse I would like to see comparisons of amd and intel gpus under wayland vs nvidia that would tell the entire story
The publisher is getting desperate. The push back is working so they are left to do this sort of nonsense. When people vote with thier wallets good things than happen. We don’t have to fund people who’s views we find abhorrent
