@soupslaps @EVCircles Agreed. And it’s so good they kept away from the ‘one screen to rule them all’ nonsense.

@EVCircles I generally think it's actually an excellent interior. New meets old. I'd much prefer this than say teslas pure minimalist design.

@james_rands You’re making this up. Chippies wrapped the food in plain paper and then wrapped the final package in newspaper.
English
a bit older than me does remember it. A chippy in Tonbridge used to do it in the mid-seventies and it left mucky black smudges on the fish's batter. Did you remember that detail? Because if not you probably don't really remember fish and chips wrapped in newspaper.

Do you remember fish and chips wrapped in newspaper? That was good wasn't it? Proper British takeaway. Walking to the shop with your Mam on a Friday night - it was either an affordable treat or a luxury few could afford depending upon who you ask.
Thing is...

If the Gulf Stream collapses, the UK goes into an ice age. It’s already happening. It might just be a few decades before it happens. Arctic sea ice will extend past our shores.

Take for example the new bounds for the unit distance problem. The new constructions beat older estimates only at 10^2000000 points or so. This has no practical application of any sort and the only interest in this proof is for the human understanding of the proof itself.
English
The Riemann Hypothesis, the Goldbach conjecture, the Twin Prime conjecture... They have all been extensively verified numerically. So for all practical purposes, these are "true" statements. If needed for an actual practical use, they could easily be verified even farther.
The mathematical truth of these statements would only be "useful" to mathematicians that seek the truth and those who seek to understand *why* these statements are true.
If an AI agent proved these statements but there were no mathematicians to understand and digest the proofs, what would be the point of such a proof?
Even in the most optimistic of cases, where a super human mathematician agent exists that could prove or disprove (or declare undecideable) every statement, either there are human mathematicians that are there to understand the proof to explain it to other humans... Or there is simply no point for such a super human agent to exist in the first place.

@AshtonForbes I've just realised - his account must have been hacked because his current nonsense is just too infantile.

I'm too schizo to believe the DNI resigned the day the UFO files came out because her husband got a rare aggressive cancer while she was taking the CIA's toys from them.
She's being replaced by deep state swamp creature Aaron Lukas, who is protecting the CIA's interests.
DS&T is where the CIA is hiding the ZPE tech.

What is going on?!? Wow!

@the_yanco OK, let me simplify this. The AI computer did not “solve one of the hardest problems in Mathematics”. Ask a mathematician.
English
@JulianLuttrell So? How is that not significant?
80 years humans weren't' able to do that.
AI did it.
English
Imagine being one of the smartest humans on Earth and being this unequivocally wrong.
AI recently solved one of the hardest problems in Mathematics that eluded human mathematicians for almost 80 years.

🎯 LLMs are very useful, but they are completely data-based and data is by definition only ever about the past. To write something new, you have to go beyond, and on your own.

So Weinstein was told wormholes are real and he's trying to find a way to stamp his name on it, but he has no explanation for negative energy and made up some nonsense about different energy in different dimensions.
Bless his heart.

If you vote for a Reform Government you will get this but 100x worse.
You will get 100+ people in Government that have absolutely no idea how anything works. Some of you may think that's a good idea, but it's not.
Brendan May@bmay
So glad Reform is running several massive local government budgets for vital services. Please stop voting for these utter imbeciles.

@AshtonForbes I would buy popcorn to watch you and Weinstein ‘debate’!
English
I'm going to be proven right sooner rather than later.
After Eric's embarrassing debate about wormholes, many people inside the government reached out to him.
Bet you Weinstein is terrified to debate me now.
He should be.

Eric Weinstein says after the last episode on @AmericanALCHMY with Eric Davis he was officially contacted by many inside the gov. It created a lot of chatter.. Says there was a group looking for help with disclosure..

I’m getting tired of “experts” like this misunderstanding what they’re looking at.
LLMs are giant databases of stuff HUMAN BEINGS have done.
They are the EXHAUST of humanity.
Prompts are database queries into EXISTING DATA.
It’s a fuzzy search engine, not intelligence.

I am getting tired of reading 'experts' like LeCun repeatedly claiming that our AIs are nowhere near human-level intelligence. Let us look at the evidence. US universities rank students based on standardized tests like the SAT. Current AIs achieve near-perfect SAT scores. They also beat tests like the GRE. A few years ago, it was notable when early ChatGPT scored ~120 on an IQ test, a common measure of human intelligence. An IQ of 120 is well above average. Current AIs reportedly have IQ scores similar to those of leading scientists. It is not just in tests. I can ask an AI to produce a science paper that looks undistinguishable from what a PhD level student could do. I just have to give it the data. Better yet, from a prompt, agents can run the experiments and collect the data, and then write the papers. Those of us who try to get work done with AI know what is possible. You can't possibly just say 'this is nowhere near human-level intelligence'. In software, good AIs show a greater mastery of, say, C++, than your average software engineering professor. You could just build a formal test to prove it. The difficulty is that the professors would refuse to take your tests. At this point point, someone will object 'yeah, but your AI can't do this simple thing that we can all do'. Fine. These AIs do not have *human* intelligence. They are very much not human beings. They are something like alien intelligence. They can code straight in assembly language, but have trouble counting characters in words. But that's the result of trade-offs. A dog or a monkey can solve some problems faster than you can. But let us be fair. As a species, these AIs have definitively 'human-level intelligence'. You can't spend decades setting up cognitive tests for human beings, have these AIs beat us in these tests and then say 'well, that's not real intelligence'. Come on !

@richmondie @caskalecom I once asked for ‘chicken salad’ as a side in a restaurant in USA, and was disappointed when something like lumpy chicken baby food was put in front of me. Maybe they meant something similar?
English
Recently went for a roast with my visiting Australian mother in law and she said she wanted a ‘big salad’ on the side; there was a tomato salad on the menu, but not the kind she wanted, so this became ‘I guess Brits don’t eat salad’, despite having a salad in front of her 1/3
Theresa ♿@TheatreSpoonie
It's easier to find a salad in the US than it is in the UK... I wish I was joking but salads are standard in most US restaurants including McDonald's. In the UK it's rare to find a salad of any kind in a pub or restaurant.

The reason I became a Zero Point Energy influencer is that I learned that's the extension of physics that explains what you see on your screen.
It's exactly the physics pushed by Hal Puthoff, Eric Davis, et al. Government scientists.
I'm not going to let the CIA get away with covering this up.
Simple as that. I am exactly who I appear to be.

@TESSERACT___ @skdh Isn’t the ‘ashton forbes’ account a parody account?
English
Sabine that guy is a fake physics fraud with a fan base that thinks he's going to change the world with zero point energy. He's one of the worst grifters you're going to encounter.
Please make him look as stupid as possible once he gets rude. His fanbase is wildly aggressive so be ready for a horde of nutbags screeching about unlimited free energy.
English
You don't have to believe me when I say the Casimir effect does not allow you to extract energy from the vacuum. You could just do the maths. You must first change the boundary condition which, guess what, requires that you put in the energy which you can then extract again.

@Kaju_Nut I always thought the ‘ashton forbes’ account was a parody account.

It's still baffling to me that you can make a length 2 zig-zag look arbitrarily close to a length sqrt(2) line without changing its own length at all
I know we can say "arc length isn't continuous wrt pointwise convergence", but that only renames the fact, it doesn't debaffle it

@davepl1968 I once started defrag when I had proprietary disk cache software running between Windows and the disk. I only did that once!
English
Back in the early 90s, before the Internet, we had "Defrag and Chill". You'd start Disk Defragmenter on your 540MB hard drive, dim the lights, crack open a Surge, and just vibe while the little blue bars crawled across the screen like they were solving world peace. Forty-five minutes of pure, unfiltered anticipation. No notifications. No algorithms. Just the two of you, the gentle grinding of the hard drive, and the sacred promise that your Solitaire games were about to feel 3% snappier.
This is MS_DOS 6.22, which I worked on, but I honestly have no idea who wrote defrag. Iconic utility though!
