So Ayumu is a chimp, child of Ai and they participate in the Ai project. There are several mother / child pairs that have been studied for short-term memory ability.

I'm sure lots have already seen the video of ayumu being presented with numbers in random places around a screen and then being able to press where the numbers were in sequence at blazing speeds and did it better than the mother.

But Ayumu also did it better than all the other chimps and when compared to humans, humans did the task better to the chimps, but Ayumu's speed is outstanding and they don't know why.

So, here's a hot take, could Ayumu just be autistic, and excel at such tasks?

It can remember specific, targeted things about you that perhaps tracking from cookies couldn't easily detect from you. I think the free AIs will exploit everything you type into it and deliver specific targeted advertisements for products instead perhaps of giving longer, more useful explanations.

Around the time / maybe just before OpenAI wanted to become a profit-driven company, it implemented memory, obviously for a specific reason!

Thoughts?

With the country getting hotter, the ground underneath most houses in London will be drying out and becoming softer due to clay soil shrink-swell, leading to a massive increase in insurance claims for subsidence.

No one will want to buy a house with known subsidence because insurance normally only covers repairs for subsidence if it wasn't mentioned in the original survey report.

This is going to mean a huge reduction in houses prices all around London as they try to offload their houses that will need remedial action undertaking to prevent damage to the house.

This page shows a map of how London is going to be affected.

Most susceptible are properties in the highly-populated London areas, particularly in northern and central London boroughs, and Kent in the South East. Projections suggest that the number of properties in London likely to be affected by climate will rise from 20 per cent in 1990, to 43 per cent by 2030, and almost 3 times 1990 values (57 per cent) by 2070.

It's a shame when specific channels die that sh/would do well. So, let's start posting again in /c/symfony and get some activity going again!

Pulling the laptop apart was uneventful without anything flying across the room or those fiddly small connectors - which I can barely see - snapping, removing and slapping in the new GPU was just six screws and a bit of thermal paste, and when it was all screwed back together, I didn’t even have any screws left over. Switching on and debian detected it happily, nvidia-smi and nvidia-detect were happy, and apt just installed the nvidia-driver without fuss.

Other than a loud snapping noise now made when the laptop is closed and hooks into the catch thing (perhaps it should always have been like this), it was quite dull and boring really.

I haven't kept up with all the news about this, so is there a definitive yes or no answer that Mozilla sells or even shares user information with partners such as Google? Google is paying Mozilla for something.

What are you currently working on with laravel?

I'm in the UK and looking to switch over to a UK host provider. Can anyone recommend IONOS for the uk? I'm considering a fairly low-spec VPS. Even with VAT, their prices will be about 3/4 of what I'm currently paying.

Can anyone recommend decent UK hosting, VPS. 2 GB RAM, single core will be fine 30+GB storage, and PCI-DSS compliant for future business needs. Free backups would be a bonus!

A blast from the past, 1982 to be precise. Back when intros and outros were full-blown music productions and a contender for one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, this epic was also syndicated in French and later English. Something kids would rush home from school to watch!

The opening narration begins:

It is the 16th century. From all over Europe, great ships sail west to conquer the New World, the Americas. The men, eager to seek their fortune, to find new adventures in new lands. They long to cross uncharted seas and discover unknown countries, to find secret gold on a mountain trail high in the Andes. They dream of following the path of the setting sun that leads to El Dorado and the Mysterious Cities of Gold.

If you're inclined, you can find full series 'around' the internet, but be warned, sadly, the original tapes were lost and were later re-dubbed!

Still, an epic worth watching, and was considered normal TV scheduling at the time rather than specialist anime content!

Yes, it's expensive. Yes, it looks weird, yes they've spent millions on researching optimum keyboard layout to reduce RSI, but my goodness, once you get over the 'eugh' of using it from muscle memory, I can guarantee it will be worth the cost. I love mine and there's a huge hacker community for it who modify it further.

Undoubtedly, programmers are a major user of keyboards, and IDE developers love function keys for esoteric shortcuts for debugging, moving around, and running code. So why do so many split keyboards not actually have the function keys.

I think makers are missing out a huge audience.
