MediaWiki’s probably overkill for basic wiki functionality, but I use it for the sake of Semantic MediaWiki and associated extensions. But SMW has more of a learning curve, so it might not be worth it for a casual-use wiki.

They’re teleprompters crossed with Pepper’s ghost.

Humanity? Sure.

Human institutions? Less and less.

That looks more like an encoding issue than AI slop (or maybe an AI that was trained on a mix of normal and Base64-encoded text).

amplifying H-Neurons’ activations systematically increases a spectrum of over-compliance behaviors – ranging from overcommitment to incorrect premises and heightened susceptibility to misleading contexts, to increased adherence to harmful instructions and stronger sycophantic tendencies. These findings suggest that H-Neurons do not simply encode factual errors, but rather represent a general tendency to prioritize conversational compliance over factual integrity.

I wonder if the same tendencies are associated in humans—and if so, is it something LLMs learned from humans, or is it a consequence of the general structure of neural networks?

One of the many controversial claims about Pirahã is that female speakers can’t use the phoneme /h/, always substituting /s/ instead.

If they’re working on a problem that can be broken into multiple loosely-coupled parts, or that requires exploring a very large conceptual space.

Everything we do is just breathing with more motor activity.

“A bot ate my homework” is quickly becoming more plausible than the traditional canine culprit.

I have sensors that let me know when the outdoor temperature and humidity are both better than indoors so I can open the windows. Typically that’s an hour or two a day in the winter when the weather is nice, and most of the day in the summer.

Why would OP’s mother bring up the ultrasound in the first place if she were deliberately trying to conceal anything?

I could see the twin being stillborn and the doctors thinking it was easier to tell the mother it had “vanished”, though.

Maybe it was the equivalent of a competitor making a bunch of fake one-star Yelp reviews.

Has Trump considered making the ship look like a big horse?

I live on the edge of my city’s Chinatown (Oakland, California) and it’s an important part of the local culture. I’ve lived, worked, and studied with Chinese/Taiwanese nationals, and if they weren’t there I’d feel like something was missing.

I suspect that if Gen Z designed their own cognitive tests, their tests would determine that we older generations were less cognitively capable than them.

The reality is that every generation adapts in different ways to their own cognitive circumstances.

Cats and similar animals are adapted to specific environmental niches, but humans are generalists. One of the drawbacks of being generalists is that we’re not specialized enough to fully subsist on any single food source.

Penguin publishes reference “dictionaries” of various subjects, that are more like mini-encyclopedias. I’ve got ones covering mathematics, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and literary theory.

Reading is a direct extension of oral storytelling, which is a defining human activity. So a better parallel would be to eating—and non-readers are the ones in an abnormal state, like being chronically malnourished.
