I used GPT-6 yesterday[1] to generate a paladin, based on a generated texture. The front looks impressive, but then you look from the side, and... well: https://imgur.com/a/VN2g34D I'm hoping this will do better t

Absolutely scathing results, and rightfully so! That being said: I can imagine that IF any of them generates the design of a new drug that cures _any_ cancer right now, it will still take several years before seeing results - creating the d

In the energy world, this should be such a boon over the classic NWP (Numerical Weather Prediction; complex ML models), but I've not seen it implementated. Anyone with experience of these models over classic NWP?

Speaking of pigz, I've run into pigzpp[1], or rather its paper: "pigzpp: Fast, Parallel, Portable Compression for the Whole Stack"[2]. Turns out we can squeeze quite a bit more compression performance out of DEFLATE - ~10x in

This doesn't seem very compatible with societies that have a Germanic majority as population. _Maybe_ the USA can be the pluriformity that adopts this, but I don't see this as an attractive idea for my society (Netherlands) at lar

> It seems the world is turning hostile to immigration in general Not the concept itself, but the insane numbers. Even South Africa is having "anti-migrant" protests (by the _black_ population; important detail, due to history)

The genders have always been bi-modal, but the well has been poisoned by people calling it "a binary" (hence "non-binary" people). A sad state of affairs.

What do you use as interface to OpenRouter? I, too, am looking into using an API to see if I can reduce costs (I use OpenAI + Github Copilot, currently). TensorX instead of OpenRouter (because it's in Europe, and EURouter wanted 15% mo

I know Cyso Cloud (previously Fuga Cloud - still Netherlands-hosted) lets you host K8S applications, and has S3-compatible storage. Is that what you mean with "cloud"?

I've found RSS Guard a few months ago, and it has finally replaced the gap that existed since Google Reader. It's cross-platform, which is a nice bonus, it works like a classic Windows program, which is a great plus because the mo

Note that "religious meat" can be cruel for certain animals as well. Chickens are still a quick stun, IIRC, but cows are brutalized - they basically slowly drown in their own blood, because of the way they are slaughtered to be Ha

I guess they're jumping on the nostalgia train that's been chugging along for the last few years (so many remakes!). Perhaps they're testing the waters for a Warcraft 4? It's been since 2004 when Warcraft stopped being a
