Written by Adrian Holovaty on July 7, 2025 Well, here’s a weird one. At Soundslice, our sheet music scanner digitizes music from photographs, so you can listen, edit and practice. We continually improve the system, and I keep an eye on the error logs to see which images are getting poor results. In the last few months, I started noticing an odd type of upload in our error logs. Instead of images like this... ...we were starting to see images like this: Um, that’s just a screenshot of a Chat

People Hated the ‘Squid Game’ Ending, so They’re Using AI to Make New Ones

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-08-29 08:42:15

Pissing people off with your series finale is practically a rite of passage for beloved TV shows at this point. Just ask fans of The Sopranos, or Dexter, or Game of Thrones. And if you’re feeling butt hurt by your favorite TV show’s subpar ending, you may be tempted to imagine a whole new one—an ending where Tony gets whacked, or survives some kind of epic John Wick-style shootout, or, I don’t know, assembles all the Infinity Stones and becomes the supreme ruler of mobsters across the universe.

US government seeks tool to find ‘hidden language’ in messages on your phone

Wired spotted the request on a government procurement website. The agency said in a federal registry listing that the tools it’s seeking

gizmodo.com Natalia Mesa 2025-08-30 04:00:04

In 1721, pirates attacked and seized a Portuguese ship carrying a massive trove of treasure en route to Lisbon. Now, researchers believe they’ve discovered its remains off the coast of Madagascar. The discovery comes from two researchers from the Center for Historic Shipwreck Preservation in Massachusetts, who have conducted several studies on the wreckage over the last 16 years. They say new clues have revealed the ship’s identity as the Nossa Senhora do Cabo, a 700-ton warship. Their findings

How a big shift in training LLMs led to a capability explosion

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-08-30 05:00:17

In April 2023, a few weeks after the launch of GPT-4, the Internet went wild for two new software projects with the audacious names BabyAGI and AutoGPT. “Over the past week, developers around the world have begun building ‘autonomous agents’ that work with large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 to solve complex problems,” Mark Sullivan wrote for Fast Company. “Autonomous agents can already perform tasks as varied as conducting web research, writing code, and creating to-do lists.”

Overthinking GIS (2024)

news.ycombinator.com Scott Sexton 2025-08-29 22:26:10

Overthinking GIS A roundabout way to downsampling data Maps in the Modern Era GIS is probably one of the best things to happen to cartography in the last couple hundred years. I say that with absolutely no knowledge of the history of map making, but GIS is wildly useful and consistent in how it is presented on publicly-accessible sites. I can go to the USGS National Map Viewer and am presented with more data and information than I could possibly ever find useful. Even more surprising is that
