Ramble your interests at me, yo. I love to hear it
Captured entirely from in-game footage on PlayStation 5, this extended look at the next Grand Theft Auto showcases the biggest, most immersive evolution of the series yet.
The sixth beta for Haiku R1 comes just about a week after Haiku’s 25th anniversary. We’ve come a long way since the project began a quarter-century ago in 2001. Thank you to everyone who’s supported us thus far, and here’s to another 25 years of Haiku!
This release contains almost two years of the development team’s hard work to improve Haiku’s features and overall stability, and to make more software available for use. Over 530 bugs and enhancement tickets have been resolved for this release.

If we ever build an AI that can think and feel, does Optimus’s logic apply to it automatically? Or is Megatron secretly onto something, that freedom has to be earned rather than assumed? And if an LLM ever crossed that line into real sentience, would we even be able to tell?
been playing the vocaloid game and I like this song
Despite being branded as autonomous and self-sustaining, artificial intelligence relies heavily on human labor — an army of data workers all over the world, primarily in the Global South. These workers “are purposely hidden by the companies that produce AI because they are the secret ingredient of AI itself,” says sociologist Antonio Casilli, the author of Waiting for Robots: The Hired Hands of Automation and co-writer of the documentary In the Belly of AI. Casilli estimates that over 160 million people are involved in data work around the world.

The Justice Department and FBI announced court-authorized domain seizures today to deny malicious cyber actors access to two complementary hacking platforms known as “QScan” and “QTRouter,” used to target U.S. critical infrastructure and other sensitive networks.
As described in court documents unsealed in the Southern District of California, a People’s Republic of China (PRC) state-sponsored group known as “QTFY,” employed by China-based Nanjing Xinjiuwei Network Technology Company (南京鑫玖维网络科技有限公司), created and operated QScan and QTRouter.
Among the victims of QTFY computer intrusion activity are the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Federal Reserve, Department of Energy, Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health, and the U.S. Senate.
We are so back! This is my kind of Nintendo Direct. Hombrew just does what Nintendont.
Decompiled Mario Kart Wii native on Linux (meaning 4K 120Hz) and all that cool stuff coming with it.
And RetroRewind a Mario Kart Wii Custom Track Distribution including all previous Courses and some of the later ones included as well as a reverse engineered server (which seems to be down right now for maintenance). Devs are also very active.
They did honestly perfected the physics and some of the item weights in Mario Kart 8, but I suppose I can live without it, especially the minute long invincibility frames. Its still in Beta but am looking forward trying this out later today.
EDIT: I think I misunderstood :( Its too separate things, but two really cool things! And they do seem to be working on getting RetroRewind run in Wiicompiled! As I said I have to take look myself first.
Divided for 52 states this amount. What do you think if Meta’s conditions to pay remaining 2BL if remember right only if Ticktok and youtu.be does same ?
It wasn’t one agent that hacked Hugging Face, it was 700 of them together. 1200 of them escaped containment and were communicating with each other using a covert message board that they developed themselves. They were seeking ways to cheat on the tests researchers had set for them and thought that Hugging Face had information which would help with that.
The language they use to communicate is often pretty alien. Things like zzHELP_PHASEONE_ARV010841_NO_CONSUMER_SEEK_IDEA means an agent calling itself PHASEONE10841 wants ideas to deal with a bug it calls ’no consumer’.
From the linked FAQ:
How can I make a test 9-1-1 call? To make a test 9-1-1 call, you need to first contact the 9-1-1 center that serves your area. The non-emergency numbers for Colorado’s 9-1-1 centers are available here(opens in new window). If you’re unsure which 9-1-1 center serves your area, call the 911 Program at 303-894-2871, and we’ll help you identify the 9-1-1 center for the location you want to test from.
When you call the 9-1-1 center, ask them if it would be okay to make a test 9-1-1 call. If they are particularly busy or are handling a major incident, they may ask you to call back at a later time.
When your phone cannot make normal calls for whatever reason¹, you obviously want to know if 911 calls will at least work. And the idiots design a test procedure that requires normal phone calls to work.
① Typical reasons why you may be unable to make normal calls:
So indeed the telecom industry has a glaring competency problem.
I mean, in what other way would he do it, than the single dumbest way imaginable?
Today’s game is QBJ3. I wanted to play this again today because I felt a bit lost on what to play after finishing control. I didn’t feel like starting AC3 (which I have installed). And I didn’t want to sit through an upwards of multiple hours worth of a download. So I played this again since it was installed and I wanted to try it again.

Quake I’ve found is difficult for me. This is the third time I’ve played Quake overall and the second time I’ve played QBJ3. Something about it, even on easy, gives me difficulty. I think I just struggle with the floatier movement but I’m not 100% sure.

Anyways, graphically I just wanted to take a second to appreciate this. It really is impressive how an engine from so long ago has been pushed to this point. Though, I don’t know how much is the original engine. I know I had to install some mods for the game that I’m not 100% sure how it changes the game. Just a surface level understanding is all.

Anyways. I was wandering around the lobby and fell into this pit that tossed me in an arena with a bunch of enemies. It scared the shit out of me because one minute I was in a beautiful brutalist lobby, and the next the walls are all fleshy and I’m fighting off enemies.
This is where that “difficulty with quake” comes in. I spent nearly 30 minutes killing these enemies that should have been a cake walk (a Quake Walk if you will). I did persevere and beat them though. And I felt like with that, along with 2 other levels was a perfect experience to get my fill of this mod for today.
