    We lost the Cold War, it didn’t end when the USSR collapsed. The task was to destroy the other’s government without incurring nukes and Russia won overwhelmingly.

    Though after the Ukraine war seems like China’s the only global winner in all this.

    Guys I think the jokes supposed to be that our brains autocorrected it to say “23 mil” similar to the real number. But it actually says just 23 dollars which would be silly.






  • I’m not sure what you mean, I don’t think I’ve seen a single isekai protag try to go back to Earth unless you count the “trapped in VR” ones.

    I’m always a little disappointed by how quickly the regular world becomes irrelevant in the story. The intrigue is from how a person from a modern nonmagical culture interacts with a medieval magical culture.

    But from the isekais I’ve seen, I’d say you could replace half of them with a person with amnesia and nothing would change.

    I’m assuming they are a trans girl, so the mom saying she needs “a man’s help” was misgendering her. OP basically affirmed that because they are not a man they cannot help and gave back the jar unopened. Given the pettyness one can assume that the mom misgendering OP is a frequent occurrence.



  • The data has more direct consequences when it comes to machine learning algorithms to keep you on the website and funnel you into a personalized echo chamber.

    The epitome of this is TikTok, it’s algorithm was the only thing that set it apart from other short video apps. Youtube is a video host with an integrated recommendation algorithm, Tiktok is a recommendation algorithm with integrated video hosting.

    The other replies are close but not quite. This is an elementary cellular automaton, the simplest form of cellular automaton. For every pixel in the last layer, it determines if the pixel in the next layer should be 0(white) or 1(black) based on the last layer’s pixel and it’s neighbors.

    The game of life is also a cellular automaton but it’s 2 dimensional, elementary cellular automaton are 1 dimensional resulting in a maximum of 256 variations called “rules”. The rules are represented by 8 binary digits which also represent a number between 0 and 255.

    What you see here is rule 00100010, or in other words rule 34.





  • Fundamentally due to it’s design, LLMs are digital duct tape.

    The entire history of computer science has been making compromises between efficient machine code and human readable language. LLM’s solve this in a beautifully janky way, like duct tape.

    But it’s ultimately still a compromise, you’ll never get machine accuracy from an LLM because it’s sole purpose is to fulfill the “human readable” part of that deal. So it’s applications are revolutionary in the same way as “how did you put together this car engine with only duct tape?” kind of way.

    Just leave a bunch of elements in a warm soup for billions of years and somehow you get these structures. Each piece of this picture popped up randomly at some point but for one reason or another didn’t dissolve or stagnate like most random structures would.
