2025 Predictions

I was just enjoying Simon Willison’s predictions and, heck, why not.

1: The web becomes adversarial to AI

The history of search engines is sort of an arms race between websites and search engines. Back in the early 2000s, juicing your ranking on search engines was pretty easy - you could put a bunch of junk in your meta description tags or put some text with lots of keywords on each page and make that text really tiny and transparent so users didn’t notice it but Google did.

I doubt that Perplexity’s userbase is that big but Perplexity users are probably a lot wealthier on average than Google’s, and...

Проставки под крепления для карвинга

Увидел тут у Тимура Зимина проставку под крепы. Для того, чтобы поднять и не цеплять ботинки при карвинговых укладках, если ботинки велики, а доска узкая. Не, идея зравая. Но, блядь, 14000р за кусок пластмассы? Серьезно? Да еще крепляется он как то жутко, вкручиваются проставочки, в них вкручиваются болты… Бррр… так и представляю как этот тонкостенный пистон вырывает. Не, нафиг. Тем более при наличии 3Д принтера красная цена этому изделию, ну рублей 500. По моим прикидкам на нее уйдет пол катушки пластика. Ну может треть. Смотря какое заполнение сделать. В общем, посидел в CAD и набросал вот такую альтернативу.

Крепеж в стандартные...

Suited

Each week YT spends Wednesday at Limehouse Town Hall tending the Yoshi stack and participating in hall activities, not least a recently convened food coop.

We adopted the Co-operation Town model of mini co-op where groups of max 20 individuals select from local wholeseller lists of seasonal organic vegetables for £100 budget. A basket of goodies for a fiver each week can easily get topped up with free extras when there is surplus produce.

The torrent of fruit and vegetables arriving to London markets does result in food waste that these initiative could help mitigate. This weeks Christmas box was doubled up...

Knowing AI, Knowing U and AIKONIC – Public Voices in AI

https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=eyiPd6vx_WE

Was a project in collaboration with Manu Luksch & Mukul Patel (Ambient Information Systems) as part of the Public Voices in AI research program that ‘aims to ensure that public voices are front and centre in artificial intelligence research, development and policy’. We set out to understand and help articulate beliefs and concerns about AI held by two groups in Tower Hamlets: clients of Streets of Growth, a charity supporting vulnerable teenagers at risk of diverse harms, and older adult clients of mental health charity MIND.

What makes AI problematic as a technology is its opacity. The spread of surveillance cameras...

Refined

https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=HMp-dOpua6c

The relentless churn of London’s districts and histories continues as backdrop to our day to day experience. Step off your habitual pathways for just a moment and discover redrawn environments that jump cut the geography of your mind map.

A recent derive around City of London confirmed just how extraordinary a phenomenon this is in light of the post pandemic exodus and uncertainty for the future of work. Many international insurance companies, banks and mega corporations extracted themselves to country retreats with little trace but the now vacant floors throughout the city.

Not that this change of heart seems to have effected...

Однажды китайский ученый Ли Хунь Янь обнаружил некоторую незначительную, однако, существенно отличающуюся от фона корреляцию между количеством псилоцибина потребляемого корфуцианскими медузами и характером передвижения оных по стенкам четырехсотлитровго шарообразного аквариума, установленного в лаборатории по случаю празднования сто второго полугодичного затмения от начала новой эры Сингулярного Прорыва. Недолго думая, Ли Хунь Янь приделал к щупальцам медуз источники излучения в видимом диапазоне но с разной длинной волны, заснял весь процесс шестью камерами с 48 часовой выдержкой, симметрично расставив последние вокруг сосуда, где резвились подопытные и через неделю собрал прелюбопытнейший материал, который, в свою очередь, лег в основу фундаментального труда, ныне известного, как теория полутретичных n-многообразий простой метрики Ли Хунь Янь, с которой (с некоторыми упрощениями и оговорками) я, по мере сил, постараюсь познакомить любопытного и пытливого читателя.
