Same here. The creature seems more fitting than the emoji too.
tessellated··on Heavy TV watching associated with smaller brain structures, study finds
How even more lucky we are that social media and short form videos are floating in the cloud - lest they be crushing our poor little brain structures.
tessellated··on How little exercise can you get away with?
I call it dancing.
tessellated··on From Australia to Europe, countries move to curb children's social media access
Sex.

tessellated··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
I could start teaching bittorrent and adblocking in the local pub!
tessellated··on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash
No not that scene, I just failed at the joke. The commercial music scene was formulaic in the 80's and earlier already. Popular culture porn.
tessellated··on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash
Fascinating! The last sentence could also talk about the famous book.
tessellated··on My favorite cult sci-fi and fantasy books you may not have heard of before
I also didn't like Consider Phlebas.

Space Opera's not really my genre but I enjoyed Commonwealth Saga by Peter F. Hamilton some years ago.

Read by myself and the rest in audiobook read by boring John Lee walking the dog. But I finished it and several conceptes have stayed with me since.

tessellated··on IQ tests results for AI
Nowadays, I was automatically assuming one of Qwen's models on top of charts that lack them.

But that's the first IQ test.

tessellated··on I do not remember my life and it's fine
This happened to me yesterday. Sorry Wolfgang.
tessellated··on Show HN: My LLM CLI tool can run tools now, from Python code or plugins
I don't need belief or faith to get use and entertainment out of the transformers. As Simon said, good enough.
tessellated··on AI's energy footprint
top joke!
tessellated··on Why Pale Blue Dot generates feelings of cosmic insignificance
> not just stars but full galaxies

https://esahubble.org/images/heic0611b/

Take in this picture for cosmic insignificance, and then check out what JWST did a couple of years ago.

No, the stars you see are all in our galaxy. The most visible galaxy (to the unaided eye) is Andromeda.

tessellated··on Nintendo unveils Switch 2 ahead of June 5 launch
I had luck with WD-40. Bought Switch ca. 1 year after Zelda, small drift was mitigatable through whiggling the joys a long time. Then, Witcher, I had enough of it and sprayed a tiny amount into both. Working like a Charm since then. YMMV
tessellated··on I genuinely don't understand why some people are still bullish about LLMs
Same as reading books, Internet, Wikipedia, working towards/keeping your health and fitness, etc...

The quote about books being a mirror reflecting genius or idiocy seems to apply.

I see LLMs a kind of hyper-keyboard. Speeding up typing AND structuring content, completing thoughts, and inspiring ideas.

Unlike a regular keyboard, an LLM transforms input contextually. One no longer merely types but orchestrates concepts and modulates language, almost like music.

Yet mastery is key. Just as a pianist turns keystrokes into a symphony through skill, a true virtuoso wields LLMs not as a crutch but as an amplifier of thought.

tessellated··on Don't make fun of renowned author Dan Brown (2013)
For 44 years my misunderstanding of 'character actors' was that they are good at acting like other characters.
tessellated··on Recent results show that LLMs struggle with compositional tasks
Some "academia" types I meet seem to be struck in this "skeptic vs enthusiast" discussion.

How do we harness LLMs’ potential while rigorously mitigating harm?

tessellated··on I've acquired a new superpower
That's how I used to help my grandmother when I was a little child. She always used to remark that the last one (5th) was the most difficult to find.
tessellated··on VLC tops 6B downloads, previews AI-generated subtitles
interesting for comparison, tweaking, analysis,..
tessellated··on Republishing my Simpsons fan site, twenty years later
I was there, when it was still in creation.

jms is such a treasure. Listening to his autobiography, narrated by Peter Jurasik, is wholeheartedly recommended.

tessellated··on Can LLMs accurately recall the Bible?
I understand the down vote, but it was an interesting prompt to test different models with.
tessellated··on Ghostty 1.0
I just tried, "tmux bind -n S-Left prev"... works. Thank you, good idea. I now have 'S-Up switch-client -n' and 'S-Down last'
tessellated··on The Ugly Truth About Spotify Is Finally Revealed
I love reading up on my fav musicians and have a listen at what their influences are and/or other fans recommend.

Or, in 2012, I torrented the then whole discog of a British duo called Autechre that I liked a track from on the soundtrack of the film 'Pi'.

12 years later, I have several vinyls, bought every release on multiple [streaming] services/shops, have been to one concert in '16... still cannot get enough and listen to their new releases all the time.

Funny to think about it this way, how a handful of beats in a movie can open you up to a world unseen, just gotta follow the tracks...

maintains website collecting SVG files of pelicans on bicycles

tessellated··on Ben Affleck's surprisingly comprehensive take on LLMs for video
I asked ChatGPT to write about walking the dog in scientific language. It came up with this gem:

"Logging middleware records metrics (distance, stops, events) into a shared datastore for analytics on future walk optimization."

tessellated··on Universe would die before monkey with keyboard writes Shakespeare, study finds
Ook!
tessellated··on I turned an old phone into a NAS
Your usernames add another layer of humor and coincidence.
