This whole opinion, while well-meaning and bringing up generally good points (we humans can decide what technology we research and how we use it)—misses the point: there will not be an “AGI” that derives from current “AI” technology.
What the “AI” companies are proposing and the media is accepting at face value is like saying ever more realistic graphics in computer games will suddenly reach some threshold and the graphics will become the real world.
It’s nonsense.

A view from street level of a five-story building, consisting of a two-story base and an off-set three-story upper part protruding from the base part towards the camera. Both parts feature many window fronts. The lower part of the building continues to the right out of the picture frame. There are a few steps and a wide ramp leading up to the building, to the left and right of a fountain in front of the entrance. Parts of a landscaped garden frame the steps and ramp on each side. Above the entr…
A picture taken from an elevated viewpoint from inside a building looking back towards the building's entrance area. There are tables to both sides of a closed large glass entrance door and chairs arranged behind the tables that face the corridor created by the tables. Closer to the image front plane, there is a large ladder next to a staple of additional chairs. Off in the far background to the right, more tables mark the areas where stands are being set up. In the front left image corner, red…

Fujifilm Neopan 100 SS (FF) **English:** A black and white photograph depicting a narrow alleyway with a brick-paved path. The alley is flanked by high walls on both sides, creating a sense of depth and leading the eye towards a door at the end. The shadows cast by the walls create a pattern of light and dark on the ground, adding texture to the scene. The door at the end of the alley is slightly ajar, with a ladder leaning against the wall nearby. **Chinese:** 一张黑白照片，描绘了一条狭窄的小巷，铺着砖块的小路。小巷两侧是…
Fujifilm Neopan 100 SS (FF) **English:** A black and white photograph showing a view through a slightly open door into a narrow alleyway. The door handle and hinge are visible on the left side of the image. The alleyway is paved with bricks and extends into the distance, with a few steps leading up to another level. The perspective gives a sense of depth and invites curiosity about what lies beyond. **Chinese:** 一张黑白照片，展示了通过一扇微开的门看到的狭窄小巷。门把手和铰链在图片的左侧可见。小巷铺着砖块，向远处延伸，几级台阶通向另一个高度。透视感给人一种深度感，并引发人…
Fujifilm Neopan 100 SS (FF) **English:** A black and white photograph of an entrance to a traditional building, featuring a decorative brick wall with a circular pattern near the top. The entrance is framed by brick walls, and the roof above shows some wear. The scene is slightly blurred, adding a sense of nostalgia and timelessness to the image. **Chinese:** 一张黑白照片，展示了一座传统建筑的入口，入口上方的砖墙上有一个圆形图案装饰。入口由砖墙围成，上方的屋顶显得有些破旧。场景略显模糊，为图片增添了一种怀旧和永恒的感觉。
Fujifilm Neopan 100 SS (FF) **English:** A black and white photograph capturing a string of traditional Chinese lanterns hanging from a wire. The lanterns are intricately designed and appear to be made of a translucent material. They are positioned in front of a building with a numbered plaque, and a security camera is visible on the right side of the image. The lanterns add a cultural and festive element to the scene. **Chinese:** 一张黑白照片，拍摄了一串悬挂在电线上的中国传统灯笼。灯笼设计精美，看起来是由半透明材料制成。它们位于一栋带有编号牌匾的建筑…

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "This image appears to be from a vintage science fiction television production, likely from the late 1970s or early 1980s based on the visual style and filming quality. The scene shows two individuals in a sparse, utilitarian setting with plain walls. Both are wearing similar olive-green high-necked uniforms or jumpsuits that have a military or institutional appearance. One person is visible in profile on the left, while another is facing forward on the righ…

Do (Or Don't!) Look Down... into the beautiful valley (Rappenalptal) 😍
#FootpathFriday #LandscapePhotography #Video

Short 18second, 270° video panorama of a beautiful large & deep alpine valley from around 800m above. The ground drops off steeply directly next to the narrow path (already on a slope itself). The mountains on the other side are up to ~2700m above sea level and ~1600m above the valley floor with green & rocky slopes, forest in the lower sections. A small road is leading along the last houses towards the end of the valley (the border pass is briefly visible between 12-14 seconds). Semi-cloudy bl…

Is this a thing you could even do on Linux currently?

I installed Crysis 3 on my graphics card! I used some VRAM drive software called GPU Ram Drive, made a 15 GB NTFS partition on the GPU, then installed Crysis 3 on it At 4K very high settings get good fps and the game loads very fast - GPU-Z reports total VRAM use 20434MB

Repurposing an old fileserver as another backup server using #TrueNAS… First, I want to pull out any disks with reallocated sectors. Most disks are more than 5 years old and my plan is to replace future failing HDDs with larger ones. As an appliance, TrueNAS is not meant for low-level tinkering. The GUI only shows actual uncorrected sectors as SMART errors and has no way to light up a disk slot o…

So there’s papers/studies that show:
1. LLMs don’t work (high error rate and making stuff up)
2. Using LLMs reduces your productivity
3. LLMs cannot—ever—be “scaled” to achieve human-level intelligence
4. Most people who speculate in financial bubbles lose their investment
Any questions?

The average surface temperature of the Mediterranean Sea is at record level for this early in summer, at 3°C above the 1982-2011 average. Could end up well above the 2023-2024 record summer peaks (Jul-Aug) of 28°C.

Very entertaining match. If Bayern could stay onside, they’d be through. It was a pretty level match, but PSG found better shots and that was the difference.
Kane showed up for an offside goal, but was otherwise invisible.

We saw some people zooming around on Ullswater today on things that can only be described as hover boards but on water.
They did look incredibly cool and great fun, so when we got back to our rental cottage we decided to look up how much they were. Maybe I could use one to commute up the Manchester Ship Canal to work every day!
Yeah, that's not gonna happen. These things start at just under £10k for the entry level model.

Welp, after breaking out the level and getting everything perpendicular: those shelves are absolutely driving me crazy as it still looks like everything is sloped. Ended up buying the full-length T2 shelves and that should fix the problem. If not then I will resort to more drastic measures.

AVON: If I can fire at ground level, the beam radiation should be great enough to cut a narrow channel through the sensor mesh. That would give you eight seconds to get from here to the blockhouse. The mesh would start its repair cycle instantly. Take one step off the channel and you're dead. I know it's a slim chance, but it's the best I can come up with.
BLAKE: Let's try it.

Claude 3.7 describes the image as: "This image appears to be from a vintage science fiction television series from the late 1970s or early 1980s. The scene shows four people in distinctive costume attire kneeling or sitting in a grassy outdoor setting with vegetation in the background. The costumes are quite notable - one person wears a burgundy/red padded outfit, another is in a beige/yellow costume, while the others are dressed in darker clothing.

Jippi!
I've repaired my Laptop! Or lets say I've replaced my cracked trackpad... With one of another colour, as I am only able to check compatibility on technical level, not a stylish one ... Well anyways I'll just say it has its own character.

The focus of this picture is to show the insides of the opened laptop, especially one thing I noticed all over it: There are markers for places certain screws go in (they differ between screw kind), which helped reassembly a lot!
A picture of the UEFI system test for the trackpad. It passed with everything checked. Hidden note: It also works great in my Fedora install.
A picture of the trackpad and keyboard of the reassembled laptop. It reveals I ordered a whiteish trackpad for a black laptop.
A general picture of my workspace during the switch of trackpads. The opened laptop takes up most of the space, a lot of the rest is taken up by iFixit tools.
