  A) And yet, not long after, Andor blew people’s expectations out of the water.

  B) Then stop making games exclusively based off of third party IPs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta used AI to concoct low-carbon concrete it poured for a datacenter floor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This appears to be a rare proper use of machine-learning tech.

  No, they did not ask ChatGPT to whip them up a concrete mix. They (in co-operation with engineers) trained a mathematical model specifically for the task of predicting the performance of concrete mixes, in order to narrow down the number of mixes to do (time-intensive) real-world testing on. With a focus on also predicting the carbon-emission impact of the mixes.

  This is the kind of technology we need more of. Not LLM slop.

  Yup.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is getting rid of its Trending page and Trending Now list⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  • Always check the Subscriptions page first
  • Check Watch Later list, after that
  • scroll the Home page, after that

  Have never seen a link to a “Trending” page or a “Trending Now” list in any of those spots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BREAKING: X CEO Linda Yaccarino Steps Down One Day After Elon Musk’s Grok AI Bot Went Full Hitler⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds loke she found the line for being a fall guy that she wasn’t willing to cross.

  Not that anyone really believed Elon isn’t calling all the shots here.

  Bacon Cheeseburger.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just finished listening to the audiobook of The Martain and got me to thinking.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I re-watched the movie a few months ago, and I had a similar realization: it was quite depressing to see a depiction of NASA that is now entirely lost to us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grok got a Nazi patch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same concept as how Trump gave no written order for the Jan 6 mob to storm the capitol building, therefore he’s totally not responsible for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tractor eggs⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude, you obviously have never set FOOT on a farm or tractor, in your LIFE. Stop spreading misinformation.

  These are raw marshmallows. Yeah, it’s unbelievable how big they are, but that’s just cause they’re fresh and haven’t dried out yet.
