The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates
  • Are the models that OpenAI creates open source? I don't know enough about LLMs but if ChatGPT wants exemptions from the law, it result in a public good (emphasis on public).

    NASA/JAXA’s XRISM Mission Captures Unmatched Data With Just 36 Pixels
  • The article explains it was launched last year and that is 6x6 pixels. But why not 7x7 or more? Is it due to the necessary cooling to just about absolute zero?

    A storybook designed to teach kids about how computers work
  • I didn't read any of it, but I see that it's a chapter book with references to profanity (a character says a word that is all punctuation e.g $*#&!). So it must be aimed at older kids.

    What's the target reading age for the book?

    Also, thanks for sharing!

    Nature (@deliberatelyburied)
  • Such a simple, silly, and really funny comic. I can imagine this as a segue or scene change in Bojack Horseman.

    Method Values
  • This is exciting! I'll keep this in my back pocket next time I need to map a static Java method over a collection.

    Does this addition also make it possible to keep a Java instance method in a map to call later? That's not a good way to explain it. But I'm thinking of how Malli schemas can have a map of options like {:encode/json name}.

    With this addition, could I do {:encode/json .toString} where previously I'd need to wrap it with an anonymous function?

  • I looked through thi.ng's Clojure projects and haven't used or heard of any of them. The developer certainly seems hugely productive! Geom looks really cool - complex and beautiful geometric visualizations! Thanks for an opportunity to find some new projects to check out!

    Trump Says Anyone Who Donates to Haley Is 'Permanently Banned' From MAGA
  • Democrats in leadership need to start flipping the script and talking about "cancel culture" and "conservative snowflakes" that have no grit and can't handle a little competition.
