Got a KPop Demon Hunters earworm this Dan Lyke / comment 0

Got a KPop Demon Hunters earworm this morning, and pondering how many stories are about people self-actualizing despite years of cultural abuse reinforced by how we do schooling.

It's almost like it's the aim of that process or something.

Google scanning your Drive Dan Lyke / comment 0

Whoopsie: Google is training on your private Google docs... r/IndieDev • KlubKofta: A player found out the ACTUAL name of my game's upcoming character from the Google Search AI - I had never told the name to anyone.

Apparently it's an option you have to opt out of?

Via.

Sopwith Dan Lyke / comment 0

Whoah! Nostalgia moment: That old CGA game where you're flying a biplane in a valley (with a tough turn at each end), bombing your enemy sites while attempting to keep your own whole? It was written by David L. Clark as a networking demo, called "Sopwith".

Not a huge surprise that it's playable in a browser. Got there 'cause

Kottke linked to Unsung: “It’s unclear how Sopwith escaped to the general public.”

A history of Sopwith, which lives on as SDL Sopwith, there's a http://www.sopwith.org , and a Wikipedia page.

🐰 and 🐎 are now essential to this operation Dan Lyke / comment 4

gloriouscow @gloriouscow@oldbytes.space

i was worried that this was going to be too stupid to be plausible, or require something like 32KiB of brainfuck-level shenanigans, but i actually think this is going to work

in which thread the author starts to build a DOS executable out of emoji to put the string "HELLO" on to the screen. As far as "H" right now...

Thought to text models Dan Lyke / comment 1

👀 Naomi Bashkansky: Why I’m leaving OpenAI to build telepathy

On Thursday, July 23rd, I resigned from OpenAI. On the 24th, I started as a Founding Researcher at Conduit. We're building telepathy: thought-to-text models, trained on non-invasive neural data.

I'm... uh... interested in what data they believe they're able to collect.

2027 RAM already sold Dan Lyke / comment 1

2027全年記憶體產能提前售罄 買家「祕而不宣」只怕買不夠 . Google Translate says "Memory production capacity for 2027 sold out ahead of schedule; buyers are keeping it a secret, fearing they won't be able to buy enough.", the post I got this from:

All memory on track to be manufactured in 2027 by Samsung, SK hynix, and Micron is now sold out, with no additional supply planned.

And that some buyers are committing for RAM 5 years out.
