Two American institutions so far beyond reproach!

@aral

Don't forget sending a lackey to veto multiple UN humanitarian cease fire resolutions.

@thomasfuchs

I really want this to be model collapse based on LLM inputs into training data. But surely it's too early/fast for that.

@thomasfuchs

Damn. Almost nothing it that whole image looks "correct". Everything is fucked up.

Fingers, shirt cuff, ear, lips, chin, nose, glasses/eye-socket... everything is messed up.

@thomasfuchs

I didn't think the Google glass would catch on, but I always thought that it was a better form-factor effort than anything else that came after it.

Full immersion is cool for a game (interactive movies) but not practical as a heavy use device. Phones are almost perfect as they aren't very obtrusive. And don't cloud out reality.

@thomasfuchs

Nah, lasts too long. I can keep them coming back for more if it's just a paslivation layer.

@thomasfuchs

Maybe I should start selling citric acid at 1000x markup as Cybertruck rust removal agent.

@thomasfuchs

As someone who dealt with lots of different stainless steel alloys, and passivated way too many stainless steel pipes. And dealt with way too many substances that corrode stainless ...

Thanks. So sound cards ended up buying dual purpose interface adapter cards (for CD ROM), and sound cards.

I never really needed (or maybe didn't remember)to understand that when I got my first CD ROM drive. Maybe my dad did, or we had a pre-built thing that just worked.

@thomasfuchs

Lol. Yeah, ISA.

What, Why? How does this thing us "CD-Interface"? If I piped my CD drive here can it only play music or I'm just confused.

@thomasfuchs

Is this an ATA card? Or is that an ATA out?

@thomasfuchs

Oof! Yeah. this is one window and one tab (Mastodon: hachyderm.io). Granted this tab and window have been open for days (maybe weeks).

@thomasfuchs

I've got an ThinkPad X200 (core2duo) that still works (Fedora) but ran XP wonderfully back in the day.

@thomasfuchs

Infinite stars/galaxies in infinite space doesn't necessarily mean light in every direction.

Plus we can only see ~15B years worth of light, area, volume of the universe.

Also light attenuation. Expansion of the universe. Etc.

@thomasfuchs

This poster in particular comes to mind whenever I see "AVP".

@thomasfuchs

Similar to watching old movies and their CGI. When they first came out, the visuals were stunning and then when you go and watch it again you realize the smoke looks like crap, or the water, or the fire, or the skin, or the fabric, or whatever.

In 10 years we will have experienced these LLMs and we will be able to easily see them for the cheap, shallow, imatations of thought.

Because that's what they are.
