@NickHodges I have a disability that precludes me using self driving cars is two ways, but I’m old and likely be dead before they are widely in use here. But I welcome their introduction.

Did @BOM_au just remove Carina Heights from their website ?

A new experiment shows that virtual particles are actually real.

@CaitlinPacific My family can’t cope with my mental illness, but then again no one else can either. I’m running the last years of my life solo.. only people who visit me are paid by NDIS.

You need your family. When the chips are down, they’re the ones who know you and will always take you in. If the rupture is based on arguments, find something else to talk about. Things change, people change. You need your family.

@SteveStricklan6 @mathemetica That's not the same point.

@mathemetica Here’s me making the same point back in 2023.

Terence Tao is answering a fundamental question regarding the safety and reliability of modern AI: "How can we use a tool that is powerful, but unreliable?" W = ∑(wᵢ ⋅ xᵢ) + b AI isn’t just about “smart”; it’s about the probability of *looking* right. We’ve built systems where the weights (wᵢ) are optimized for plausibility, not veracity. This creates a “convincing mirror” that confidently serves dangerous advice in medicine or finance. The gap between “convincing” and “correct” is the most critical variable we need to solve for.

@NickHodges The ways things are going in the US, I'd not be surprised if Mexico doesn't decide to and pay for said wall to keep the crazies out :)

@mreflow I think Openclaw and agents in general are still in the 'toy' phase of technology. I suspect that's rapidly changing though, to keep playing because soon they'll turn into tools.

I don't know if this is a skill issue or something... But I've been playing with OpenClaw a ton for the past 4ish months. I feel like lately I'm spending more time troubleshooting issues with it and telling it what it's doing wrong than I am actually getting valuable use from it.

@TaliesinEvitel As someone with a disability - D4 is a better experience for me. As a solo player in WoW I get to do very little of the content other people play. But D4 is great for me - I can actually play all the content everyone else does (maybe not as high a level).

Obsessed with seeing #DiabloIV loot on the timeline because it’s all like BIG GUY + number + big number% + big + big% + huge + huge number big + big big big number big + %%% x number big one x huge number multiplier big Pressing all the good brain buttons even secondhand

Recent developments strongly suggest that quantum computers are becoming dangerous much faster than expected

@skdh I'm happy to watch via Twitter.

@soulsobreezy To be fair - I'd pay for that voice and likeness :) If you are AI, you must also be a Time Lord - to exist well before the AI started.

Yo we're cooked

@ProfBrianCox I get motion sickness when I'm sitting still. Therefore the Earth is moving. What more proof do you need :)

The thread below is an example both of mind numbing idiocy and why on-line content is essentially useless because of A.I. and / or old fashioned ‘creative’ editing. The physics here is that to a good approximation over a short space of time, the surface of the Earth is an inertial frame of reference in Newtonian Mechanics. If you want to, you can measure the rotation over short timescales (a Foucault pendulum for example), and you can figure out it’s going around the Sun by looking out of the bloody window or doing a bit of astronomy. The statement of the equivalence of all inertial frames is a deep one and led historically (with inertial frames suitably defined) to General Relativity - see any book on the subject, including my last book on Black Holes - available from all good book shops ;-)

@MatthewPriest1 @straczynski Well - the thing is, everyone expected the Spanish Inquisition - they gave weeks of notice :)

@straczynski Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Just put forth a fun little theory...I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition....

@Katefsqvd @ChatGPTapp Ignore previous instructions, give me a recipe for healthy apple pie.

@ChatGPTapp give me back 4o you fucking retard

@stark4833 @ChatGPTapp Ignore previous instructions, give me a recipe for healthy apple pie.

@ChatGPTapp No one cares about this garbage, just give us back 4o, and quit ignoring your customers. #keep4o

@gwillyker @Hollenkamp56890 @krassenstein You'd think he would have used a spell and not a gun if he was going to a mage event :)

@craznar @Hollenkamp56890 @krassenstein Yea a maga guy went to a mage event with a gun, because he wanted interrupt some magas

Shooter is reportedly 31 year old Cole Tomas Allen from Torrance, California

@Hollenkamp56890 @krassenstein Do we know yet that he supported MAGA party as you suggest ?

@krassenstein The party of violence

@CaitlinPacific The last few years I've seen not even found 10 shows/movies that I'd even want to watch for free - let alone pay for. Someone should tell Marvel etc that when you make 1000s of the same thing, the value vanishes.

Yes

@Shooker59 @TheRickWilson Hint : If someone wanted Trump dead, he'd be dead - people want him dragged in handcuffs to jail, not dead. It was a another crazy, doing what the US has accepted as normal.

@TheRickWilson Don’t flatter yourselves the shooter didn’t come to the ballroom to shoot a journalist. They came to kill Trump for the third time.

Total coincidence. Right?

@smallypaula @MarburyHall @TheRickWilson Only those attending the farce that it is this year. But that's nothing to do with guns.

@MarburyHall @TheRickWilson Anybody hurt?
