[log] vim changing memory contents on my laptop

strange experience today where vim's yank buffer changed to contents that were similar to what i had deleted, but different. not sure why or how this happened. the short recording showing the situation is at https://asciinema.org/a/92p5X2wyVbdw9o6mGHI4QbKNW it's hard for me to tell for certain whether vim's yank buffer was mutated in a way similar to a language model, or whether i dissociated and typed the incorrect text when intending to paste, and forgot. i had a longer recording ongoing when the issue happened. it's now on ipfs at https://dweb.link/ipfs/bafybeigtt7z4gqvq6hmvy4hucmfekw2vtuiroxvelmgrygt27y2… . the issue is at the very end. i tried to upload this reocrding to asciinema to make it easy to jump to the end without cutting lines out of the file, but i ran into connection termination errors trying to upload it, maybe because it is so large: port 443: File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/ssl.py", line 1237, in sendall v = self.send(byte_view[count:]) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/ssl.py", line 1206, in send return self._sslobj.write(data) ssl.SSLEOFError: EOF occurred in violation of protocol (_ssl.c:2396) port 80: File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/urllib/request.py", line 1377, in http_open return self.do_open(http.client.HTTPConnection, req) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/urllib/request.py", line 1351, in do_open raise URLError(err) urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 32] Broken pipe>

AI 1984: China Sunway Bagalu AI Brain-Equivalent Supercomputer to NLP and Facialize Humanity
by grarpamp 23 Jun '22

23 Jun '22

China Just Achieved A "Brain Scale" AI Computer https://www.thestar.com.my/tech/tech-news/2022/06/22/china-supercomputer-ac… Today in "Skynet does Asia" news, Chinese scientists are boasting about a new supercomputer that is so far, it can run AI at the speed of a human brain. The computer, referred to as the Newest Generation Sunway supercomputer, is now on a par with the latest machine built by the US Department of Energy, called Frontier, according to The Star and the South China Morning Post. Earlier this month, Frontier had been named the world's most powerful computer. The Chinese scientists named their AI model 'bagualu', which means "alchemist's pot". It was trained by the Sunway machine to have 174 trillion parameters, on a par with that of a human brain for the first time, the report says. The Sunway "has a speed of a billion billion operations per second, expressed as 5.3 floating-point operations per second (exaflops), and more than 37 million CPU cores," the report says. This is four times as many as the Frontier machine. It also has nine petabytes of memory, which is enough to hold 2 million different DVD quality movies. Communication between "brain" nodes is so quick it rivals a human changing his or her mind. Potential uses for the AI could be in facial recognition and autonomous driving, the report says. It could also be used for life sciences, chemistry and language processing. (The article left out eventual machine-run world domination, for some reason...) The technology debuted at a virtual meeting of Principles and Practice of Parallel Programming 2022, an international conference put together by the Association for Computing Machinery, a U.S. based organization.

SLOBO Zizek joins the Mange Foreign Legion
by professor rat 22 Jun '22

22 Jun '22

Zizek discusses a gaffe recently made by George W. Bush where he misspoke, calling the US invasion of Iraq “a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion” when he meant to say Ukraine. In doing so, Zizek makes a comparison between Moscow and Washington, acknowledging their similarities, even bringing up the case of Julian Assange, who exposed Washington’s crimes in Iraq (and elsewhere) and faces extradition to the United States for doing so. Obviously, in a general sense, Moscow’s vision of empire and Washington’s vision of world domination share a similar impetus. https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/06/22/slavoj-zizek-does-his-christopher-h… Reposts not Roach Motel endorsements
