Speaking as a professional “creative”, art and commerce are antithetical. I’ll be happy to see the relationship end.

You can also do this by blowing out a match and putting it under an upturned glass shortly before microwaving it. Turns the carbon vapor into plasma, or some such. Though the time I tried it, it escaped the glass and melted the microwave’s lining. Don’t recommend if it’s an appliance ya care about.
Hackworth@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them allEnglish18·2 days agoAnd in that environment, everyone who actually understands how things work quits or gets quit. It’s my understanding that there are large sections of code bases that MS just doesn’t touch, because everyone who understood how they function is gone. Continuity of institutional knowledge is difficult in the best cases and impossible under leaders that discourage dissenting perspectives.

The single CD amongst all that analog media seems so much like an anachronism that I had to look it up. The CD standard was published in 1980 and it was commercially available in the US in 1983 but it took until 1992 for CD sales to surpass cassette tape sales.
Thank you. I was just pushing the up arrow a hundred times.
It shows which US states contribute more to the US incarceration rate and clearly shows that even those that contribute the least are above the majority of the nations’ incarceration rates. The latter is not obvious without visualizing the data in this way.

Hackworth@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Operation Narnia: Iran’s nuclear scientists reportedly killed simultaneously using special weaponEnglish11·16 days agoPoliticians attempting to ban AI regulation are only shielding OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, etc. Those same politicians will pearl clutch about Hugging Face or DeepSeek in the same breath. It’s just about money and the arms race. Abdicating responsibility to AI would require either a change in how we regulate people or a granting of rights/responsibility to AI. Though I don’t doubt we will see people try to blame AI for their poor decisions.

Hackworth@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•ChatGPT will avoid being shut down in some life-threatening scenarios, former OpenAI researcher claimsEnglish10·25 days agoThat was in Anthropic’s system card for Claude 4, and the headlines/articles largely missed the point. Regarding the blackmail scenario, the paper even says:
… these extreme actions were rare and difficult to elicit, while nonetheless being more common than in earlier models. They are also consistently legible to us, with the model nearly always describing its actions overtly and making no attempt to hide them. These behaviors do not appear to reflect a tendency that is present in ordinary contexts.
They’re testing alignment hacking and jail-breaking tactics in general to see how the models respond. But the greater concern is that a model will understand as part of the context that it is being tested and behave differently in testing than in deployment. This has already been an issue.
In the initial implementations of reasoning models, if an LLM was penalized directly for this kind of misaligned generation in its “scratch pad,” it would not alter its misaligned response - rather it would simply omit the misaligned generation from the scratch pad. In other words, the model’s actions were no longer consistently legible.
The arches of our feet stretch unevenly as we age. For some people, this causes one foot to pronate more than the other, which leads to a functional leg length discrepancy, which causes a knee to turn in, the hips to tilt, the spine to develop a functional scoliosis, one shoulder to drop, causing neck pain, etc. It’s called the kinetic chain, and unfortunately it’s been hovered up as a chiropractic talking point. But it can often be corrected with custom shoe inserts that can also help with balance. On the flip side, you then become reliant on those things and your back is weaker without em. So ya know, nothing’s simple, I guess.
