I loved this article and its interactive elements. The potential field is an elegant abstraction which really elevates this from a math puzzle into something new. I'd love to see j…

Nice! I wanted to share a link to Ripple Effect Hard with my time (23:47), but it seems the URL only captures attempts, so there's no real way to link to the puzzle itself. Might b…

According to the wiki [0], "This is a less interesting sequence and is less likely to be the one you were looking for." Confusingly, "more" means "please add more terms"... [0] htt…

"Musk accuses Altman, Brockman, and its major partner Microsoft of breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment in the lawsuit" [0]. But of course Musk runs an AI for-profit hi…

This project is essentially "give me some metadata & a command which takes env $PORT, and I'll handle the rest". Which is neat! I am also sick of handling port numbers - I end up a…

I thought so too at first. It is definitely something interfaced on top of Tauri[0] with some sort of 'server-side logic' framework[1]. But looking at Tauri's site, it is really ha…

Reports being weaponised is a big issue with asymmetric (report-only) systems, but at least here there seems to be a “report as not slop” button. “Symmetric” user reporting is dear…

The physics engine mentioned towards the end, Jolt Physics [0] is used in the frankly blockbuster games Horizon: Forbidden West and Death Stranding 2 and yet opens its description …

If every website needed verification, why not simply move the verification to the device or ISP level? This seems like an authoritative move to track users across websites, and ano…

I prefer to default to `develop` and then eventually branch out to `release`: that way my branch names are pretty explicit. It seemed silly to me to start with a "central" branch, …

"Good deed math" feels like it drives legitimacy from some intrinsic sense of 'goodness', which to my ken looks de-emphasised in Franklin's model. Each act is a deed unto itself: a…

This is fascinating, but the title and URL might be better if they're of the article this links through to rather than a discussion: "Fantasy or faith? One company's AI-generated B…

I found this article while making my way about Wikipedia (as you do). It's ice that burns: cages of water trapping methane, and indeed the largest non-atmospheric store of it on ea…

I took a brief gander at its code [0] and saw it mainly focusses on k-means clustering algorithms (in JS, no less). To my ken this is likely for suggesting new tabs, something a us…

Having just taken an IQ test out of curiosity, they strike me as testing very little beyond the ability to pattern recognise and extrapolate. Having pattern recognised and extrapol…

> he’s a VTuber, a fully virtual personality powered by artificial intelligence. I have only a _passing_ familiarity with VTubers (my friend is one) and this is obviously and paten…

An amendment proposed by congress [0] very specifically disallows a third term if the first two were consecutive. It's all been very cynical in that way. [0] https://www.congress.g…

LLMs by their nature are good at word or concept association. Cohesiveness in length is where they begin to break down. I tend to liken them to very drunken scholars. They know thi…

It sounds likely to be a language in the Tamil-Kannada family (as these are the major languages of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka respectively). There were a great number of Vijayanagara…

The irony is that the plan was either to - somehow, incomprehensibly, vet all 3 million responses - which would at minimum cost $10m - feed it as training data into some LLM, which…

"Tory-lite" is a pejorative for Labour, the implication being that they are almost identical in behaviour. (I very much agree with the sentiment...)

I don't use PowerShell often at all, but this IMO is one thing it gets right, by piping .NET objects and implicitly piping to `Out-Default` at the end. Of course this is another st…

That was a 4chan screenshot, analysis of which shows some pretty clear photoshopping [0]. All signs point to it being some kind of troll; I don't know how 4chan pseudonyms works bu…

This is very neat! I'd be interested to see something like this with a saving mechanism reminiscent of TiddlyWiki [0], which is saved as a portable HTML file. Documents that contai…
