@RaminNasibov It took only 66 years to go from wright Brothers to Moon landing, and the moon landing was 57 years ago.

@kemicalkid19 @WSJ I can imagine that may be true, but diversity of thought could also be explained by an unthethering from accepted reality

A WSJ analysis of thousands of posts found that President Trump uses Truth Social to spread conspiracy theories and attack his adversaries. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4uF6K8a

@NoContextBrits That's Castle Combe, it's a bit dull cuz no one lives there and ironically is full of Americans (and Japanese) maps.app.goo.gl/pNXrYzCMNAwwot…

@TansuYegen I can imagine that's going to really help with the confusion too....

@ShahinS29069 @hasanahmadian You're forgetting to say "blown to kingdom come *again*" because I think that's already been tried twice
English

@hasanahmadian Correct description is that Islamic Republic has 2 options: hand its arse on a plate to the US or have it blown to kingdom come. It should be an easy choice, but we are dealing with some of the most stupid people in the history of mankind, as proof by the idiot who posted this.

Iran presents the United States with two options:
1. Agreement on a framework built on the outcomes of the war and the American failure therein, based on the international law giving Iran what it earned both economically and legally.
2. Resumption of military confrontation through the implementation of the siege on the ground, or striking Iran directly for the third time. The hope of achieving a military breakthrough still lingers among some of Trump's inner circle.
A third option can also be considered: An American stopping of the siege, leaving the strait and the post-war balance to the international community and Iran to deal with.
Iran leans more toward the first and third options, but it focuses its efforts on preparing for the second.

@AmericaRes12266 @WarMonitor3 Can I just say please keep your racist shiz over your side of the pond? Thankyou for your attention to this matter

@WarMonitor3 Why would they? Their goverment has repeatedly failed the native British people while importing millions of third worlders. They allow foreigners to roam the streets and commit crime so why would they fight for a nation that won’t even fight for them?

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.

@historyinmemes Do not knock bread sauce.... It's got onions in it as well you know!
English

It's difficult to defend British food...
Bread sauce is a traditional British dish with origins tracing back to at least medieval times, likely evolving from even earlier European peasant cooking. It began as a practical way to thicken and enhance sauces using stale bread, one of the most common household staples. By soaking bread in milk or cream and adding spices, cooks created a simple yet rich accompaniment for roasted meats.
The version most familiar today took shape in England during the 18th and 19th centuries. It became especially associated with roast poultry—particularly turkey and chicken—and grew into a staple of holiday meals, including Christmas dinners during Victorian era Britain.

@TonyWard867811 You've not mentioned brexit, austerity and the tories....?
English

The IMF just ranked Britain the worst performing major economy on the planet.
Not a war torn nation.
Not a failed state.
Britain.
Twenty five years of open borders, net zero ideology, DEI over defence and spending money we do not have.
They did this to us.
Not Putin. Not Trump. Not global headwinds.
The people we elected.
Every single one of them.

@cineflicksOTT @WhiteHouse I don't think there's any question as to how this administration will be remembered...
English

@WhiteHouse A triumphal arch marking 250 years of America is a monumental statement, literally. The design and placement will define how this administration wants to be remembered in stone. Whether it becomes a landmark or a controversy will depend entirely on the execution.

The other day we were on a cruise and our grandson rang asking for a bit of money. He's just started at the NHS full time, earns £28,000 a year. That's what we paid for our house. I said love, if you're earning a whole house a year and still struggling, that's not a money problem, that's a discipline problem. I'd help but I'm afraid of spoiling the boy.
Our neighbour David was a doctor for 35 years, never complained once. Five rental properties now. Lovely man. I just hope the boy sorts his finances out. If we keep bailing them out they'll never learn

@CatharineHoey Awww! Nostalgia! It's been a while since I've seen @CatharineHoey s definitely ignorant posts spruiked by redundant self aggrandized brexit doofus @DavidGHFrost

Boris was arguably the most famous politician when Mayor of London yet he travelled all over London on his bicycle with NO security and on the tube where he was usually inundated for selfies. Yet Khan immediately took a bomb proof carrier flanked by a back up and then a security guard. Absolutely no need for such an expensive security team. Signs of grandeur rather than necessity!
Geoffrey Myers@geoffreyMyers1
Wonder where the bomb proof land rovers , security detail and fire power were when Boris was Mayor of London !

@noclador Yeah but we do have a functioning health system and decent schools....
