ever misread a tweet so bad you accidentally started a twitter argument? hi it me i need new glasses apparently,,

Google DeepMind researchers found two numerical bugs in softmax and cross-entropy which prevents tiny gradients from incorrectly rounding to zero or remaining nonzero when they should vanish. These errors can cause sudden loss spikes and interfere with distillation. alphaxiv.org/abs/2610.31642

ok what’s the best device for PDF reading

Guess who finally unclogged her 3D printer THIS B**CH RIGHT HERE if any locals want Trinkets printed please hit me up

what is the earliest console game that lets you pick non-binary and please tell me it's not fucking austin powers for game boy color of all things

Sorry man this guy’s gotta lose I don’t care who the fuck he’s running against. If these loudly anti-trans Dems don’t lose, it’s going to take us thirty years to get back the rights we’ve lost in the past five.

Something I've been doing lately to remember what pitch, yaw and roll are in 3D: Pitch: You can raise pitch in music, so it's vertical Yaw: Sounds like Link's yell when he does a spin attack, which is horizontal Roll: Star Fox barrel roll

coffee was 6.50 in September, and already at 7 dollars. inflation is *really* picking up now. grocery shop today was 100 dollars, easily should have been 60-70 in the old times. some imported items (e.g. dried fruit) just completely out of stock, on a weekday, not a weekend w/o shipments.

This was pretty trivial to implement. Just initialize camera rays with some speed variance. Predictably blurry, but this is clearly motion blur. Looks like a natural value over which to animate... It makes sense, I guess: sweeping velocity->infinity is like sweeping the strength of the potential->0

the key is to throw the reverse surprise birthday “Hey wanna go to XYZ next Thursday at 6pm? I won a promotional dinner for two but only at that time, looking for people to go with. Could be fun, your call” Send that to like twenty people and then be like “SURPRISE it’s actually my birthday!!”

Camera rays subject to gravity, shadow rays straight so we're not just in the dark. Works pretty well, but is very confusing. This is a red ball next to a brown box. First observation: There's 'mirages' because you can aim up above 45° and fall on the scene from above.

In the other world, indie developer RemoteThunk has developed the hit numbers-go-down game Ortalab

can we just agree now? responsible software dev requires LLM audit

It's not that there's no moats anymore, it's that suddenly there's bridges *everywhere.*

OH COME ON NOT NODE.JS TOO nodejs.org/en/blog/vuln...

If you make HTTPS requests or have other TLS clients and care about MITM attacks, you need to update today. If you run Go: go get go@1.27.3 If you run Homebrew: brew update brew install ca-certificates If you run Linux, maybe stay off the internet for now.

Wait so the “PHP unauthenticated remote code execution” vulnerability is a separate coincidental issue from the “TLS private key chosen by dice roll” issue?

holy shit guys

Your Harry Potter dollars funded this.

I can’t see anything 🙂

I was talking to my therapist about the BBC transphobia and the NHS transphobia and she pointed out a great fact which is that of course this feels deeply destabilising and hurtful cause the NHS and BBC are so intertwined with what makes Britain Britain

(Repost of one of my old twitter post because i still find it interesting) this low poly skull lantern by 'obscura' showcases some serious modelling/texturing skill. it's just 40 tris!!!

This is actually a good idea tbh. Have bots that scan the web and invalidate keys if they're found. Services should mandate you agree whitehats are allowed to do this in ToS so it's not a violation of the CFAA. Would probably reduce their fraud dispute rate considerably.

Something very important to figure out before Jan 20, 2029 is whether, when a new President is inaugurated, they will control the computer system at GSA (i.e. doors to federal buildings) and Treasury payments system or if those systems will be somehow in the hands of DOGE cronies

If this passes, this could be the most important piece of consumer protection in the digital age.

even for those of us like me who dislike AI, I am glad that open-source models are getting about as good as the closed-source ones

In my younger years TVP was the secret to turning ramen into a meal.

Since inflation is up, can I put in a plug for the poorly named TVP (textured vegetable protein) ? Very cheap, perfectly shelf stable, easy to work with. It's a byproduct of soybean oil production and much more environmentally friendly than real meat. It tastes like whatever flavors you add.

same with XR too tbh

I easily know a dozen dolls who are housing insecure working on advanced cutting edge tech, with god-tier resumes, who seemingly can't land jobs at frontier labs (or don't want them). They're using AI technology to fight fire with fire, against what you hate about AI.

you should be able to start forest fires in the big walk

OMG OMG OMG jj now has colocated workspaces !!!
