  • Yuri Knorozov, Soviet linguist who was instrumental in decoding Mayan script, holding his co-author, Asya, 1980s?

  • Knorozov was born in the village of Yuzhny near Kharkiv, at that time the capital of the newly formed Ukrainian SSR

  • [meme] Car brains, citing vague "freedom of movement," often say that it should be OK to run over protesters on highways. In turn, it should be legal to set fire to cars parked in bike lanes.

  • Amazon cloud boss echoes NVIDIA CEO on coding being dead in the water: "If you go forward 24 months from now, it's possible that most developers are not coding"

  • I'm not trained in formal computer science, so I'm unable to evaluate the quality of this paper's argument, but there's a preprint out that claims to prove that current computing architectures will never be able to advance to AGI, and that rather than accelerating, improvements are only going to slow down due to the exponential increase in resources necessary for any incremental advancements (because it's an NP-hard problem). That doesn't prove LLMs are end of the line, but it does suggest that additional improvements are likely to be marginal.

    Jump

  • The one colleague using AI at my company produced (CUDA) code with lots of memory leaks that required two expert developers to fix. LLMs produce code based on vibes instead of following language syntax and proper coding practices. Maybe that would be ok in a more forgiving high level language, but I don't trust them at all for low level languages.

  • ‘Never summon a power you can’t control’: Yuval Noah Harari on how AI could threaten democracy and divide the world

    Jump

  • Sigh, another major thinker who totally misunderstands LLMs and their capabilities. The fact that he cites Musk as a credible source on "AI" says it all.

  • The 1950s called, they want their cultural milieu back

  • The maker of Mike Lynch's yacht says it took 16 minutes to sink and the crew should have had time to rescue passengers

    Jump

  • The wealthy passengers shouldn't have depended on the crew to rescue them; that's socialism. They should just pull themselves out of the water by their bootstraps.

  • Skibidi Toilet’ Film and TV Franchise in the Works From Michael Bay, Adam Goodman

    Jump

  • Skibidi gradually evolved into more than 70 1-to-5-minute mini-epics depicting the infinitely escalating war between the Toilets and the Cyborgs. Each video is explosive, violent and free of any discernible dialogue.

  • Inside Netflix’s bet on advanced video encoding

    Jump

  • without compromising on visual fidelity

    But it does compromise. Netflix has the worst banding issues in low-light scenes of any of the streaming services I've tried. It's hard not to notice and it's very annoying.

  • This rings extra true for me because many of the redfash that I used to follow (before russia invaded Ukraine and they went mask off) were actually ex-Evangelicals. Later it struck me how they'd just exchanged one fascist ideology with another.

  • That is the neutral answer. It's objectively and demonstrably correct.
