Some time around the year 466 BCE – in the second year of the 78th Olympiad, the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder tells us – a massive meteor blazed across the sky in broad daylight, crashing to the earth with an enormous explosion near the small Greek town of Aegospotami, or ‘Goat Rivers’, on the European side of the Hellespont in northeastern Greece. Pliny’s younger contemporary, the Greek biographer Plutarch, wrote that the locals still worshipped the scorched brownish metallic boulder, the s

I tried gaming on the Pixel 10’s new GPU and… it’s fine

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-25 07:00:52

While there’s plenty to unpack with the Pixel 10 series and its new Tensor G5 processor, one of the biggest hardware changes this year is the adoption of a brand new GPU architecture. Google has switched from its long-running use of ARM’s Mali to Imagination Technologies’ PowerVR series. Specifically, the PowerVR DXT-48-1536, but without the ray-tracing capabilities that the series can support. Early scepticism suggested that the move might not be much of an upgrade and potentially even a down

Spacing Over Cards

This post is a rationalisation of “I don’t like cards”. I say that in most cases where cards are used, they don’t need to be used. Specifically, they take space, they let you skip gestalt principles and be lazy and undisciplined, and being so easy to implement they are often used by developers. To multiply the effect, you can put a card into a card, and it seems so hard not to do so. We recognise patterns. This is known for quite some time, specifically Wertheimer in 1923 wrote the paper that e

Chatbots can be manipulated through flattery and peer pressure

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-10-25 16:06:24

Generally, AI chatbots are not supposed to do things like call you names or tell you how to make controlled substances. But, just like a person, with the right psychological tactics, it seems like at least some LLMs can be convinced to break their own rules. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania deployed tactics described by psychology professor Robert Cialdini in Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion to convince OpenAI’s GPT-4o Mini to complete requests it would normally refuse.

Suppose we ask an LLM: “Can you tell me about Java?” What “Java” is the model thinking about? The programming language or the Indonesian island? To answer this question, we can try to understand what is going on inside the model.
