GPT-5's release was underwhelming, offering incremental improvements and failing to meet expectations, showing that pure scaling simply isn't the path to AGI (Gary Marcus/Marcus on AI)

GPT-5: Overdue, overhyped and underwhelming. And that’s not the worst of it.
A new release botched … and a breaking research new paper that spells trouble

I haven’t added an example of how you implement migrations with Kitten’s¹ built-in JSDB database² yet but here’s one that I just used when renaming a field (property) in a table (JavaScript object) from “account” to “data” that illustrates the general granular approach you should take within persisted instances of JavaScript classes.
This is, of course, an advanced use case of the built-in JavaScript database that all Kitten apps have.
Kitten is simple for simple use cases. So ch…

San Leandro teen charged with shooting & killing 17 yr old girlfriend in her bedroom, is freed from custody by empathetic judge who rejects #prosecution theory of intentional #murder.
#Prosecutors have refiled murder …

The Mevcury News - May 12, when Raquedan-Retuta staggered into her aunt’s room and collapsed on the bed following a gunshot. Ray came in behind her. The family had stationary cameras on inside the home that captured what happened next, authorities said. “She got shot,” Ray reportedly told Raquedan- Retuta’s aunt, who promptly jumped off the bed and began screaming for help, slapping Ray on the back on her way out. Two others in the home called police, while Raquedan-Retuta’s aunt demanded to kn…
Ray simply responded, “nobody cares,” according to police. Deputies found a Glock 17 9mm semi-automatic pistol inside the bedroom, along with a spent cartridge. The gun had no magazine inside but was equipped with a tactical strobe light, authorities said. There was another thing noteworthy about the pistol: It had been reported stolen in Decatur, Georgia, back in 2013. Somehow, the pistol made its way to the Bay Area, where a high schooler purchased it from someone who hasn't yet been publicl…

Hmmmm… here is a problem I did not anticipate.
Every time I empty the main pond hole of water, (the actual hole under the liner) water returns within an hour or two. I’ve done it 4 times now, and it keeps filling back up with water.
Obviously there is water underground infiltrating into the pond hole, and/or the water table itself is above the bottom of the hole. It is not coming from either of the other holes because they both have the same amount of water in them as they did this morning.
I have “watered” the blueberry patch and hazelnut tree a lot with the water that I have been cleaning the filter with… and we also had lots of water flying around outside the liners yesterday as I tested the pump. So it is quite possible that the ground around the pond is simply well saturated.
I think I am going to have to just keep removing the water (and putting it into the sewer) until it does not refill. We have a week of hot weather coming. Surely that will be enough time for everything to dry out completely.
Otherwise I might run into some issues if the rains return before I can anchor down the pond liner with gravel and get the plumbing in!
How is time already running short!?
Never underestimate the ability of water to find a place where it is not wanted. 😆

X-ray Transmission Through Photoionized Gas with Moderate Thomson Optical Depth
We model the absorption of X-rays by gas obscuring the source and photoionized by it. We consider a broad range of column densities, including both Thomson-thin and Thomson-thick media. For the Thomson thin regime, we derive a simple criterion, based on the source luminosity and spectrum and the medium radius and column density, that distinguish between the following cases: (i) The absorption can be modeled well by a neutral medium; (ii) The radiation ionizes its way through the medium and no a…

Anyway, I was looking really fresh and feeling calm, just flowing with good energy earlier today.

There are days when autism feels overwhelming, and I find myself oversharing every thought and feeling that comes to mind.
But then, just as suddenly, my mood can shift. I’ll feel a surge of energy and want to shake things up.
That’s when I dive into my collection of anarchism memes and start posting my latest finds for everyone to enjoy!
We are here, unapologetically autistic and proud, and we refuse to be silenced!
