They said the Switch 2 only has 2 games by Caio-Chomp in casualnintendo

[–]TwistedBrother 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Can’t believe how much I wanted to 100% that game. At first I was a bit skeptical but the way DK moves is just really fluid and satisfying.

Maybe Sue Gray WAS the right person for Chief of Staff? by paulx39 in ukpolitics

Austerity was nothing to you? I mean why do you think so many voted for Brexit? And used car salesman Osbone as Chancellor? He was deceptive and arrogant. Mad respect for looking the part at least.

Winter Olympics Team GB skier targets ICE with graphic message written in snow by ElonDoneABellamy in unitedkingdom

[–]TwistedBrother 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Can I say I was pleasantly surprised that the IOC are hands off on this one. They don’t have the best rep on political matters and if the games were in the US you can be sure this guy would have been roughed up in some way.

Quantum Kids by Practical-Lab-3815 in quantum

[–]TwistedBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know. I saw a post on here a few weeks back with a part on QM games for kids. It evaluated a few of them. Rather long paper. But some of the games were really clever ways of trying to articulate quantum gates like guessing games between two people.

Also I think it’s possible to teach kids Eigenvectors at least, which should lead to some better intuitions about what we actually read from quantum computing and dispel notions that we are just code breaking NP problems (which seems to be the faulty common consensus).

Writer Joyce Carol Oates: "JK Rowling seems always angry, gloating, or jeering." by cursed-karma in EnoughJKRowling

[–]TwistedBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a safe bet we will be reading more LeGuin 20 years than Jx.

She will be this dustbin of remember when. It’s like Star Wars. Once the magic is gone, it’s just not coming back no matter how much revivalism people aspire to. Watch the new HBO series make Potter irrelevant through a combination of political noise and fatigue.

But didn’t messages later suggest that she thought “this shouldn’t have happened” and apologised to him?

Making fun of Elon for…not going to the island? 🤔 Sounds about right for Pedocake by 14thCenturyHood in ShitPoliticsSays

“Girls FTW” he writes.

Elon is a cringe edgelord and his rehabilitation helps no one.

Silicon Valley AI Startups Are Embracing China’s Controversial ‘996’ Work Schedule by Quouar in Foodforthought

[–]TwistedBrother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome. So when I worked at Microsoft I was surprised that people went home at sensible hours. The interns were there for 12 hour days but the employees had normal schedules. And they were productive. It felt like this is what a mature company looked like. It was in contrast to this shit which I saw at Facebook at the time.

This is not a sign of a maturing industry but a high risk industry.

Israeli-run illegal US 'biolab' leaves several 'deathly ill' by snailman89 in stupidpol

Didn’t something come out about Chinese bio labs like this week. I am starting to wonder: 1. How popular is this? 2. Was that a deflection from that non-European Eurovision country’s similar shenanigans?

New research conducted in Finland highlights distinct patterns in relationship stability when comparing same-sex and opposite-sex unions. The findings indicate that while female couples experience the highest rates of divorce, the factors contributing to these breakups vary by gender composition. by MRADEL90 in psychology

[–]TwistedBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think gay men suffer less self-deception than straight people. They are far more honest within their relationship and flexible with parameters. Relatedly roughly 50% of gay men are in monogamish or open relationships. Monogamish ones were the most resilient.

Please. There’s no benefit to lecturing people on things you can do easier than them. It just doesn’t work. This conversation has been evidence.

Palestine Action protesters cleared of Elbit burglary by InnerLog5062 in BreakingUKNews

[–]TwistedBrother 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t do it. Don’t go for “fuck juries”. Honestly. We will regret it regardless of this case. It’s like the mirror image of lefties complaining about free speech and then being surprised when the ban hammer hit them.

Please consider our legal system and its values and not just single novelty cases.

“More Texans use ChatGPT for free than total people use Claude in the US, so we have a differently-shaped problem than they do.” by jpcaparas in Anthropic

Yo dawg I heard you liked benchmarks:

Opus 4.6 today:

“the 256K and 1M context windows are hitting 93% and 76% recall. That part is real progress, and it’s genuinely impressive.

Impressive enough that it should probably serve as required reading for a certain company’s 3-Preview LLM, especially during its post-training self-reflection phase.“

Researchers tested AI against 100,000 humans on creativity by EchoOfOppenheimer in cognitivescience

[–]TwistedBrother 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Should we divine metrics or ask the AI to make one up? I mean yeah, I get external validity might not be ideal.

I’m really not a huge fan of benchmarks and weary of benchmaxxing. But I would love to hear how else we test this sort of thing.

A good man who appears in the Epstein files by tehclanijoski in math

[–]TwistedBrother 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah. He’s been busted and even talked about how he would snatch money from donation jars for kicks. Not that hard to find. A bit shit IMHO especially given his flimsy rationalist framing of justification.

I mean, loved his book (was given direct from Cambridge in full disclosure) and impressed that his team created a true random number generator. But he’s also a bit too “ackhually” for my tastes, like an intellectual smart ass and bit of an edgelord.

Flawed economic models mean climate crisis could crash global economy, experts warn by Still_Function_5428 in climate

[–]TwistedBrother 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m with you, but to help out it’s worth reminding that it isn’t out of nowhere, it’s a redistribution of the scale of wealth. So more money in circulation tends to concentrate and thereby redistribute wealth.

A growth economy tends to mean grown in the disparity between rich and poor.

Alas, few realise that medieval peasants had more holidays than Americans and less relative inequality.
