@eevblog Next explain to them 'entrée' does not mean the bloody main course

I don't know what's funnier, the seppo's getting angry, or everyone thinking I'm from England 🤣

@OMGTheMess 2 days worth of deisel, delivery sometime late May or early June. And he announced it like the ships were bravely avoiding u-boats and icebergs.

When Albo originally announced one days fuel last week we all thought it was just an unfortunate mistake But today he announced 2 days worth. He honestly thinks it’s impressive.

@MoMohler Normal bands names like 'The Brady Bunch Lawnmower Massacre'

Band names nowadays have the stupidest names. When I was a kid bands were named Toad The Wet Sprocket or The Butthole Surfers.

Yann LeCun was right the entire time. And generative AI might be a dead end. For the last three years, the entire industry has been obsessed with building bigger LLMs. Trillions of parameters. Billions in compute. The theory was simple: if you make the model big enough, it will eventually understand how the world works. Yann LeCun said that was stupid. He argued that generative AI is fundamentally inefficient. When an AI predicts the next word, or generates the next pixel, it wastes massive amounts of compute on surface-level details. It memorizes patterns instead of learning the actual physics of reality. He proposed a different path: JEPA (Joint-Embedding Predictive Architecture). Instead of forcing the AI to paint the world pixel by pixel, JEPA forces it to predict abstract concepts. It predicts what happens next in a compressed "thought space." But for years, JEPA had a fatal flaw. It suffered from "representation collapse." Because the AI was allowed to simplify reality, it would cheat. It would simplify everything so much that a dog, a car, and a human all looked identical. It learned nothing. To fix it, engineers had to use insanely complex hacks, frozen encoders, and massive compute overheads. Until today. Researchers just dropped a paper called "LeWorldModel" (LeWM). They completely solved the collapse problem. They replaced the complex engineering hacks with a single, elegant mathematical regularizer. It forces the AI's internal "thoughts" into a perfect Gaussian distribution. The AI can no longer cheat. It is forced to understand the physical structure of reality to make its predictions. The results completely rewrite the economics of AI. LeWM didn't need a massive, centralized supercomputer. It has just 15 million parameters. It trains on a single, standard GPU in a few hours. Yet it plans 48x faster than massive foundation world models. It intrinsically understands physics. It instantly detects impossible events. We spent billions trying to force massive server farms to memorize the internet. Now, a tiny model running locally on a single graphics card is actually learning how the real world works.

@minchoi 4.6 → 3T 4.7 → 6T 4.8 → 10T 4.9 → ??? 5.0 → AGI 6.0 → ASI 7.0 → ASI2 … 🤷‍♂️ 😂

@anon_opin Some of you have never been through a mouse plague and it shows

If we were serious about breadbins, then every breadbin would be a sealed vacuum chamber to prevent bread from going hard. Otherwise, what's the point?

@SydSteyerhart Dunbar's number - we fill out the empty spots with tv characters, celebrity's and politicians, most of the 'people in our lives' are make believe.

The actor who appears on your screen and who you've developed a parasocial relationship with is no more "real" than an AI recreation of his likeness. You think he is simply because you've been propagandized to believe the things on your screen have actuality.

I think the worst first impression you can make is 'he looks like a magician'

WHOA, TESLA JUST SOLVED THE HARDEST PROBLEM IN ROBOTICS AND IT IS EPIC! It took millions of years to perfect the human hand and Tesla just engineered a 22 degree of freedom masterpiece in a few years that makes it look easy. These April 16, 2026 patents is up revolutionary. They have turned the entire Optimus forearm into a high density powerhouse with 25 motors driving a super light, tendon powered hand that can delicately crack an egg or swing a sledgehammer with insane grip strength! Picture this: actuators packed like a futuristic engine room in a staggered cylindrical layout (tiny 12mm linear motors for the fingers plus bigger ones for the wrist), all routed through a genius cantilevered hollow wrist joint that keeps the cable highway wide open no matter how it bends: No pinching, no fatigue, no bulky junk in the palm. Just pure, puppet like dexterity thanks to flexible composite ligaments made from Nitinol (that shape memory super metal) and Vectran fabrics sandwiched with elastomeric layers. Nitinol is “memory metal” that can be brought back to the ground state under correct thermal conditions. These artificial ligaments are thicker at the base where the force is highest, with seven layer sandwiches that laugh at metal fatigue. Wires run right through the neutral bending plane so they never stretch or snap. It is biomechanical poetry. No fragile lab toy but it is built for mass production. By moving everything to the forearm and using passive spring returns, Tesla slashed part counts, cut costs dramatically, and doubled the DoF from Gen 2. Optimus V3 is about to go from folding laundry to heavy industrial tasks with buttery smooth precision, powered by AI5 chips. We are talking scalable humanoid robots that could replace physical labor, crank out a million units a year, and hit that 20k target. Elon and the Tesla team are not just innovating. They are redefining the future of work and humanity itself. This is the stuff that changes everything. Optimus V3 is going to be legendary. I cannot wait to see it in action!

@Sargon_of_Akkad 1,100,000 of the UKs best, brightest and most motivated live in Australia. Lifeboat Australia.

They're not wrong, to be honest. We have a horrific problem with crabs-in-the-bucket mentality in Britain. Many can't admit that the country is doing very badly because we have allowed it to do badly, and instead of building things up, they would rather stew in their resentment and tear people down.

@OMGTheMess Supposed to have 2742 million litres in reserves, 100 is fuck all

Albanese - NEWS: We’ve just secured an extra 100 million litres of diesel for Australia. I guess no one’s told him that’s a days supply? Why would he post that?

The Australian government is all over the media crowing about 'securing 100 million litres of deisel', delivery sometime in May. Australia uses 92 million litres of deisel every single day. Then the refinery caught fire.

@MarkoMatvikov And we keep our opinions to ourselves, if you're wrong you'll be arrested for 'misinformation' and if you're right you'll be arrested for spreading 'disinformation'

This refinery was supplying over 50% of Victoria’s fuel and about 10% of Australia’s (both unleaded and diesel). It isn’t fully destroyed as the blaze was contained – but it’ll be running at significantly lower capacity for the foreseeable future. Early estimates are it will take weeks to get it running back up to full capacity again.

Spark 2.0 is here! 🚀 We’re redefining what’s possible on the web with a streamable LoD system for 3D Gaussian Splatting. Built on Three.js, you can now stream massive 100M+ splat worlds to any device from mobile to VR using WebGL2. All open-source. Dive into the tech 👇

@cixliv @beffjezos Yeah, but he's probably having a lot of fun though

@beffjezos Zuck doesn’t have product insight of other FAANG companies, and the only real power moves he’s made in the last decade are acquisitions or copies. He is not a product genius, or an engineering marvel. Just a guy who copies from data trends.

Zuck is going Sergey mode. Bullish?

@PaulyShore @Schwarzenegger @danramoscomedy This is more important than people realise

Great conversation today with @Schwarzenegger about how his iconic “I’ll be back” happened. What do you guys think? 🎥 @danramoscomedy This is a fake podcast. Video generated using AI. Intended for parody purposes only. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Years ago, I memorized the NATO Phonetic Alphabet because I thought it was the most accurate. Over the phone, even if you're trying to say something like, "N as in 'Night'," it can still be misheard as, "M as in 'Might,'" you know? So I just went with the standard NATO template. I got off the phone this morning with a guy at a business where I needed to give him my email address, so I'm doing the thing, "... Alpha ... Kilo ..." etc. He says, "What branch of the service were you in?" Apparently "no one ever says 'kilo,' that's a dead giveaway." 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@fromtheyear2525 @TerribleMaps Every second pommy backpacker in Cairns has grand plans to get a bongo van and do that drive to Perth lol

@TerribleMaps This can be done in one go.... but needs 2dozen red bull and about $3k for juice.

Only Midwesterners can survive this drive
