Have no idea what's the context, but was curious what it all meant.

Tu saale randi ke bijj bsdk marega kisi din gandmare ... jese tu logo ke sath kr rha ek din tere chuttado me garam dhanda ghusega ... bsdk ginger kahi ke lode

Google Translate (auto-detected Hindi to English):

You bastard, you will die some day, you asshole... just like you are doing with people, one day a hot thing will enter your ass... you dick, ginger.

There's a little more, mentioned in Article 2, Section 1 of the constitution.

There's a director out there, going: "I need this for real in my next movie."

As culture wars continue to brew in schools across the United States, one unconventional group is pushing for more representation in the classroom: Satanists. This has particularly caused controversy in states like Tennessee, where an elementary school formed a program for children called the "After School Satan Club." 

This program was created by an organization called the Satanic Temple, a relatively new religious movement that purports to teach "compassion and empathy toward all creatures." However, the introduction of these clubs has unsurprisingly made parents upset, while supporters of the Satanic Temple say they are working to improve the lives of children.

Let's go back to rocks and sigils...

I don't think you'll be able to keep AI out of those predictions. It'll likely morph into something actually useful, and seep deeper into all kinds of technologies. Sort of like how so many cars now come with 'Driver Assist.'

But I think a lot of it will migrate to run on devices, so your 3D printer or air-conditioner will be more adaptive and less prone to failing.

Also, given what Apple and Google recently showed at their dev conferences, we're going to see a lot more use of AI inside games, like NPCs that say and behave in different ways. Or productivity apps that look at what you're doing and berate you for being too stupid.

Apple just demoed exactly that, running fully on-device:

My car needed some repair work. Insurance set me up for a rental with Hertz who told me not to pay for bridge tolls with my own car's transponder. When I take the car back, they tell me I'll be invoiced later for the tolls. Had 4 toll crossings which ordinarily would come to less than $30 (even less if I had used the transponder).

A month later, the Hertz charges show up: $77 (including 'processing fee'). Called and complained. They said they'd look into it. Never heard back.

Not using them again.

 

How to extend LLMs to go beyond their training and access live data feeds. Good writeup on what is in the Model Context Processor (MCP) spec. The developer world is going nuts over this.

👊 TARIFF 🔥

The GREATEST, most TREMENDOUS Python package that makes importing great again!

TARIFF is a fantastic tool that lets you impose import tariffs on Python packages. We're going to bring manufacturing BACK to your codebase by making foreign imports more EXPENSIVE!

Fragments of a rare Merlin manuscript from c. 1300 have been discovered and digitised in a ground-breaking three-year project at Cambridge University Library

A fragile 13th century manuscript fragment, hidden in plain sight as the binding of a 16th-century archival register, has been discovered in Cambridge and revealed to contain rare medieval stories of Merlin and King Arthur.

...

What followed the discovery has been a ground-breaking collaborative project, showcasing the work of the University Library’s Cultural Heritage Imaging Laboratory (CHIL) and combining historical scholarship with cutting-edge digital techniques, to unlock the manuscript's long-held secrets - without damaging the unique document.

...

To achieve this, the team undertook:

Multispectral Imaging (MSI)

This technique used in CHIL involved capturing the fragment in various wavelengths of light, from ultraviolet to infrared.

...

Computed Tomography (CT) scanning

Conducted with equipment and expertise from the University’s Zoology department, the team used a powerful X-ray scanner—typically used for scanning fossils or skeletons—to virtually penetrate the layers of parchment and uncover hidden structures in the binding.

...

3D modelling

Industrial scanning techniques created highly detailed virtual models of the fragment, allowing researchers to study its creases, stitching, and folds in remarkable detail.

...

The digital results of the project are now available for everyone to explore online via the
Cambridge Digital Library.
