AI has the potential to transform the global economy over the next decade, with the greatest long-term investment gains likely accruing to companies that use the technology rather than those that build it. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/08/26/world/ai-supercharged-economy-winners/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #ai #us #tech #useconomy #globaleconomy #healthcare #jobs

"Today's competitiveness, so much imposed from without, is exhausting, not exhilarating."
— Louis Kronenberger
I have a problem with this story about AI “Becoming So Powerful, It’s Stumping Those Trying to Contain It.” All the tech bros, and the reporter, suggest that the AI’s have agency here. In fact, the AI’s are being programmed and designed and set in motion to carry out cyberattacks—to “hack certain targets.”
Then there's unexpected damage!
Maybe stop doing that? But don't pretend the AI’s have gone rogue.
@gleick it's sponcon. paid marketing
@AnarchoNinaWrites @kbm0 Appears they are different bands, according to wiki

I'm slowly skimming the Papyrix ereader firmware, and... Nice! It includes a bare-metal international text-renderer, targetting a memory-constrained RISC32i microcontroller & eink display!
To achieve this it uses its own (raster) font file-format, with special handling for Arabic, Thai, & Chinese/Japanese/Korean. Naturally there's a script to rasterize normal fonts.
So now all I need to test my concept for mobile typing is... Someone (ideally local) to team up with on the hardware!
@dosnostalgic did you get to do it? and is it nice and pre-warmed?
@thomasfuchs Unfortunately I am yet to achieve this dream.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines.
When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.
We've been getting a lot of questions about how the Internet Archive digitizes books.
The short answer: page by page, by hand.
You may remember our viral 2021 video of Eliza Zhang scanning a book. That's still how we do it.
Meet Eliza, and learn how we scan books: https://blog.archive.org/2021/02/09/meet-eliza-zhang-book-scanner-and-viral-video-star/
@internetarchive I stumbled upon the fort wayne, indiana, digitzation center at the allen county library a few weeks ago thanks to the manager wearing an IA shirt. very cool digitization operation!

Something I notice as I go about my "link-harvests": We software devs seem to have a bad habit of not bothering to define our terms. Whilst the apparent definitions seem to shift over time!
I'm sure this would be discouraging to anyone trying to get into the field!
Incidentally I frequently myself resorting to linking to Wikipedia or NIST, they not only provide definitions but old-fashioned ones I like!
P.S. I consider Wikipedia a fine place to link to, but not a great one.
@kbm0 Same band afaik. 4 Non Blondes was a rename, references Concrete BLONDE in the title. Think it might have been a record contract dispute but my memory is hazy.

I really hope I doesn’t ruin this
I ruined it. 90 seconds per side was too much.
As a friend said elsewhere today, Dolly Parton was "the best of us." Rest in peace. https://www.ms.now/opinion/dolly-parton-charity-legacy

I dunno mate, a lot of what people don't like about the shit I say comes down to being high on pretend. I hate pretend. I can't stand it. I hate when we all know the score, but we performative stand around talking like Alexander Hamilton in high-faluting language about bullshit. You can lie to yourself that's your business, don't expect me to lie with you. But America? Is a country high on pretend. Pretend leaks into almost everything we do. So as such Americans, constantly, make me angry.
@caseyliss Would be nice if Callsheet had a way of finding a movie you recently looked up via the Plex integration. Perhaps including it in the search history?
@henrik Shit, that’s a great idea.
