| 31. | Tides are weirder than you think | (signoregalilei.com) |
|
Our world relies on the sea more than ever: 80% of goods traded worldwide move by ship. Today’s mariners take it for granted that they can get an accurate chart of the tides for any location on Earth. This would not have been possible without the work of countless scientists through history. | |

Teenager Greg Kuperberg wrote three fast-action arcade games for the IBM-PC in 1982 and 1983 (an almost impossible of feat at the time) and then took another path. In this rare examination of his work, we look at the legacy and inspiration of this "would-be" game programming auteur, who "moved-on" while at the top… | |

|
|
YouTube is now using AI to alter people's videos without permission. (There are threads about this at https://mastodon.content.town/@operationpuppet/115640694705318541 & https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/@strypey/115598837629003478 etc) This is really disturbing and dangerous. It's more insidious than censorship because viewers cannot tell a video has been altered. If you post to YouTube, I'd strongly recommend you start ALSO posting to PeerTube, either on your own server or a public server. There's a complete guide here: ➡️ https://fedi.tips/how-to-publish-videos-and-audio-on-peertube #PeerTube #YouTube | |

|
New research from UBC Okanagan mathematically demonstrates that the universe cannot be simulated. Using Gödel’s incompleteness theorem, scientists found that reality requires “non-algorithmic understanding,” something no computation can replicate. This discovery challenges the simulation hypothesis and reveals that the universe’s foundations exist beyond any algorithmic system. | |

| 53. | Why are your models so big? (2023) | (pawa.lt) |
|
|
I don’t understand why today’s LLMs are so large. Some of the smallest models getting coverage sit at 2.7B parameters, but even this seems pretty big to me. If you need generalizability, I totally get it. Things like chat applications require a high level of semantic awareness, and the model has to respond in a manner that’s convincing enough to its users. In cases where you want the LLM to produce something human-like, it makes sense that the brains would need to be a little juiced up. | |
