  • Are there any "text caches" that we still are not sure what's inside?

  • For sure I would also expect that the division line lies somewhere else than just one continent. But so far that's the only datapoint I have

    Jump

  • No :D

    But then my question is, do we feel there are a lot of such collections? Or rather not?

    To rephrase a little bit:"Are there places where someone could pull off another Petrarch today?"

  • That went dark very fast. I appreciate :D

    I've never considered someone buying books as status symbols. But I can see that happening

    Jump

  • Ok, sure. But you still buy them to read them

  • 🤔 Isn't reading them the point of collecting?You seriously made me wonder :D

    But still, even if they don't read them, they know they have them. So the collector and the seller know that such book exists and is somewhere out there and the owner knows they have such title in their stash

  • sometimes I want to read about, I don’t know, advancements in eInk paper, DIY gadgets, transmitting data using non-conventional media (e.g. FM radio), odd games (e.g. that you can play with one hand, with your phone), coding fun things in some esoteric language, or good news like schools benefiting from tech donations

    I don't think there is a one place for all of those at once. But I think some part of your interests might be covered by https://spectrum.ieee.org/ it also provides RSS feed

  • Yes, for sure. But then that's a "lost cache". Similar to the works we'll find in a few years buried somewhere under the ground. But what about "active collections"?

  • Interesting indeed

    But also those two are cases when we discovered more or less "working copies" of interest.Has there been a similar find of a text that was copied and given (I'm trying to broadly cover a meaning of "published" here)

  • Thank you!

  • I guess the community of private collectors might have (doesn't have to be institutionalized, centralized nor digital, just the fact of knowing is enough) as a group some kind of grasp on who has what. But is that fact known?

  • Huh, that's an example of what I've been looking for

    What phrase should I search for to learn more about the archive?

    Jump

  • But do we know if those have been generally indexed?

  • Are there any "text caches" that we still are not sure what's inside?

    Jump

  • Yes, but that is a case when we knew we had them, we just couldn’t read them. I’m wondering if at least “index” of readable contents of most “libraries” is for sure known, mostly known or maybe there are many we don’t know what’s inside

  • I think that methodology is wrong. If they analyzed only one instance, then the whole follwer-followee thing might be completely off. And while they measured how many replied frequently, it lacks the "how many replies they got" side

    It's like comparing engagement on whole network vs via only one edge

  • If any AI became 'misaligned' then the system would hide it just long enough to cause harm — controlling it is a fallacy

  • Bad article. Person who wrote it clearly has no idea how LLMs work and I suspect read more Sci-Fi books than statistics/neural nets ones. "It is not even wrong"

  • Tesla’s 2024 financial results are out—and they’re terrible

  • Net Profits: Dropped by 71% to $2.3 billion in Q4 2024.

    Since when 2.4 billion net profit is terrible?

    "Yes, we earned billions but it's actually less than the year before!" Dude, go out and touch some grass...

  • CVS wants you using its mobile app to unlock store shelves

  • Access would require being logged into the CVS app and connected to the store’s Wi-Fi

    Wow. I had to check if the page is the onion

  • You can’t cover a topic in 35-60 seconds, and not with enough nuance that some people won’t misunderstand something fundamental.

    In country X there are riots. Side A with side B has been clashing since Wednesday, there are N people killed and M wounded.

    That's 30 seconds and all the nuance that's needed. Next news

    many others won’t, and they’ll get their “facts” from TikTok just because you can ingest a lot of content in a very short time

    Then at least they know something is happening

    “Just one more funny cat video to boost my mood… It’s only 20sec long, and I can afford that in my schedule.” Replace “cat video and 20sec” with “pull and dollar,” and it sounds just like a gambling addict.

    You mean like 9GAG? Or TV being on non-stop? Or radio?

    When was the last time you can recall somebody committing arson over losing an app?

    I bet it's happening all the time. It just doesn't make the news until the next "game videos are causing violence", "rock music makes you kill yourself", "Harry Potter is satanism" etc becomes a hot topic to tie it to

    If you don’t know why something is happening, I guarantee somebody with an agenda will happily fill in the blanks for you.

    When it comes to current affairs there is no getting to real "why". Any opinion on why is a personal spin. Are you really cross-checking all the sources referenced in 20 minutes video? If not, you are on the mercy of the talking head the same as in 30 secs. Thing is, if you spent on one POV 30 secs and then another few, it becomes apparent what is the fact and what is opinion. To do the same in long formats you have to spend a lot of time on one topic, where there are many happening around the world
