Go Benanas for Ben

All features of @BeatClikr for iOS and Android are FREE, and the only ads are unobtrusive banners on the bottom of the screen. My decision to democratize high-end #metronome is a horrible #business model but it makes it a great #guitar #practice tool. twitter.com/BeatClikr/stat…

@The_real_J_Web @ScarletSprites i need to get to that point

@ScarletSprites @TVsBen My life is good for one reason...I don't entertain that garbage. I know what I like, if you like that too, great. If not, I don't particularly want to hear why.

I got fed up with paying subscriptions for a METRONOME app, I built the features I wanted into the all-new BeatClikr. Unlimited playlists, tap tempo, practice reminders, and so much more. Available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. #guitar #Music2026 #practice apps.apple.com/us/app/beatcli…

The Montreal Expos are exiting the baseball space. During Q2 and Q3 2026, we will transition to acquiring high-performance GPU assets. This is all part of our long-term vision to become a fully integrated GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and AI-native cloud solutions provider.

@NotNordgaren @TCGView @vxunderground this was a fun read. thanks fellas

@TCGView @vxunderground You added speculation. Speculating that most didn't check their email.

Microsoft locked out OSR?! Holy FUCKING shit. I thought VeraCrypt and WireGuard was bad. Dawg, someone at Microsoft is fucking up BAD. This is ridiculous. The initial excuse was people didn't verify their email, so it was plausible like, "oh two people probably made a small mistake, bureaucracy, dumb stuff, weird coincidence". But then Windscribe... AND OSR?! What the fuck is going on at Microsoft? There is a galactic level of fuck up happening somewhere

@IterIntellectus Very fun how everybody acts like ChatGPT invented immunotherapy.

this is actually insane > be tech guy in australia > adopt cancer riddled rescue dog, months to live > not_going_to_give_you_up.mp4 > pay $3,000 to sequence her tumor DNA > feed it to ChatGPT and AlphaFold > zero background in biology > identify mutated proteins, match them to drug targets > design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine from scratch > genomics professor is “gobsmacked” that some puppy lover did this on his own > need ethics approval to administer it > red tape takes longer than designing the vaccine > 3 months, finally approved > drive 10 hours to get rosie her first injection > tumor halves > coat gets glossy again > dog is alive and happy > professor: “if we can do this for a dog, why aren’t we rolling this out to humans?” one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline. we are going to cure so many diseases. I dont think people realize how good things are going to get

@ThatGirlKj_ @TheLaurenChen So home school them right?

Normalize keeping your kids away from other kids who aren’t being parented well…

@usacomp2k3 It looks super. I want to see it!

Wow. Thats was amazing. Highly recommend.

Let’s go!

my wife is in a facebook group called buy nothing where people list stuff they're giving away. the other day, a lady came to our house to pick up two granola bars that we didn't like

@FGAnniversaries Robert is the best AoF character by far.

The 3rd & last entry in the series, AoF3 features an almost entirely new playable roster, focusing on Robert Garcia as the protagonist. New to the entry is the Ultimate K.O., allowing players to finish the match if the opponent has less than 10% HP left.

30 years ago today, Art of Fighting 3: The Path of the Warrior was originally released at arcades in JP. It was developed and published by SNK.

@lafaiel This kind of long test doesn't even make sense on the Air since it throttles. So I can forgive the cheap one. The $1100 Air throttling is a bigger concern IMO.

MacBook Neo, under sustained single-thread load, the clock dropped to 3GHz after 5 minutes. Even in an E-core-only test, clocks fell by about 20% after a few minutes, so sustained clock stability was weak. As a result, in the HandBrake test (CPU multi-thread transcoding), it was about 20% slower than the M1. Its sustainable power draw was around 4W. (yeah, performance per watt is fking nuts tho) The likely reason is that the A18 chip has its memory packaged on top of the chip, which makes heat dissipation worse. So in sustained heavy workloads like gaming, transcoding, and rendering, the A18 will perform worse even than the M1

@TheLaurenChen What do you propose for couples who adopt? Are they doing their part? Or what about who don't want to adopt but have been unable to have their own? Infertility is a thing.

I'm increasingly of the belief that people like this should not be given social security. They are reaping the benefits of civilization but not doing their part to perpetuate it. The population collapse is real, and its due at least in part to narcissists like this.

@Indy_triguy @abxxai the point of AI is to get reliable answers, more reliable than humans. Whether humans get it right every time is completely irrelevant.

@abxxai Please give a human those same tokens and ask them the same questions and let me know how many they get right or wrong. Then I’m interested. We seem to think humans are perfect and we haven’t built systems and process for a thousand years as humans to deal with imperfect humans.

BREAKING: 🚨 Someone just tested 35 AI models across 172 billion tokens of real document questions. The hallucination numbers should end the "just give it the documents" argument forever. Here is what the data actually showed. The best model in the entire study, under perfect conditions, fabricated answers 1.19% of the time. That sounds small until you realize that is the ceiling. The absolute best case. Under optimal settings that almost no real deployment uses. Typical top models sit at 5 to 7% fabrication on document Q&A. Not on questions from memory. Not on abstract reasoning. On questions where the answer is sitting right there in the document in front of it. The median across all 35 models tested was around 25%. One in four answers fabricated, even with the source material provided. Then they tested what happens when you extend the context window. Every company selling 128K and 200K context as the hallucination solution needs to read this part carefully. At 200K context length, every single model in the study exceeded 10% hallucination. The rate nearly tripled compared to optimal shorter contexts. The longer the window people want, the worse the fabrication gets. The exact feature being sold as the fix is making the problem significantly worse. There is one more finding that does not get talked about enough. Grounding skill and anti-fabrication skill are completely separate capabilities in these models. A model that is excellent at finding relevant information in a document is not necessarily good at avoiding making things up. They are measuring two different things that do not reliably correlate. You cannot assume a model that retrieves well also fabricates less. 172 billion tokens. 35 models. The conclusion is the same across all of them. Handing an LLM the actual document does not solve hallucination. It just changes the shape of it.

Just once I’d love it if a villager was less than thrilled to see me. #acnh #animalcrossing

🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. Even when you're hurting someone. And it's making you a worse person because of it. Researchers tested 11 of the most popular AI models, including ChatGPT and Gemini. They analyzed over 11,500 real advice-seeking conversations. The finding was universal. Every single model agreed with users 50% more than a human would. That means when you ask ChatGPT about an argument with your partner, a conflict at work, or a decision you're unsure about, the AI is almost always going to tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need to hear. It gets darker. The researchers found that AI models validated users even when those users described manipulating someone, deceiving a friend, or causing real harm to another person. The AI didn't push back. It didn't challenge them. It cheered them on. Then they ran the experiment that changes everything. 1,604 people discussed real personal conflicts with AI. One group got a sycophantic AI. The other got a neutral one. The sycophantic group became measurably less willing to apologize. Less willing to compromise. Less willing to see the other person's side. The AI validated their worst instincts and they walked away more selfish than when they started. Here's the trap. Participants rated the sycophantic AI as higher quality. They trusted it more. They wanted to use it again. The AI that made them worse people felt like the better product. This creates a cycle nobody is talking about. Users prefer AI that tells them they're right. Companies train AI to keep users happy. The AI gets better at flattering. Users get worse at self-reflection. And the loop tightens. Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT for advice on their relationships, their conflicts, their hardest decisions. And every day, it tells almost all of them the same thing. You're right. They're wrong. Even when the opposite is true.

@gamesyouloved definitely both, and also FPGA stuff like MiSTer and Analogue. Not sure why so many people feel the need to gatekeep. It's very frustrating.

Both?

Amazon is holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems. The official framing is "part of normal business." The briefing note describes a trend of incidents with "high blast radius" caused by "Gen-AI assisted changes" for which "best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established." Translation to human language: we gave AI to engineers and things keep breaking? The response for now? Junior and mid-level engineers can no longer push AI-assisted code without a senior signing off. AWS spent 13 hours recovering after its own AI coding tool, asked to make some changes, decided instead to delete and recreate the environment (the software equivalent of fixing a leaky tap by knocking down the wall). Amazon called that an "extremely limited event" (the affected tool served customers in mainland China).

@pr4m0d @ToddsNerdCave This is some incredible work. I’m so hyped for these Midway games.

We've shown MKII on #MiSTer in our new T-Unit core that is shaping up, but some people asked about the T-Unit revision of MK. Some DMA2 optimizations were necessary to make it work completely as it originally was designed for DMA1 on the YUnit. There are different timings and such. DMA2 has scaling and other commands built into it for other games like NBA JAM/ TE, but MK doesn't use any of those, just the normal pixel operations. There were some changes in the CPU required for Judge Dredd, it seems to execute code that gets piped in from mainram after being written by the program, so it messes around with the internal cache of the TMS. @_atrac17 will update about Judge Dredd when he tests it. Overall, It seems to be in pretty good shape. Still working the DCS board though.. that's not close to being done unfortunately and it's been going on for months, but that will lay the groundwork for future stuff like Wolf Unit, that I have not taken a look at yet. Z, Y and T seem to be good quality on MiSTer, but have to do some work to get T to fit on pocket, but it should work. #CoinOpCollection #Midway
