• Christopher Kirk-Nielsen ☛ Lessons Learned Making my Peritel Typeface

  Being unsatisfied with the heading typeface used on my Vintage theme, I set out to find the perfect typeface encapsulating the ‘80s and ‘90s, especially computer (entertainment) systems, but there was always something that fell short: boring s, ugly r, or way-too-sharp angles. After looking at more fonts than I could count (I seriously had dreams about fonts for a couple days), I decided I would make my own, from scratch. I’ve made a few (inspired) fonts before, how hard could it be?

• Science / Mathematics / Computer Science

  • Daniel Estévez ☛ Tianwen-1 safe mode telemetry

    The safe mode telemetry is PCM/PSK/PM with a 65536 Hz subcarrier and 32 baud symbol rate. The coding is CCSDS concatenated coding with 220 byte information blocks. Therefore, the configuration is the same as for the usual 16 kbaud telemetry, except that the symbol rate is reduced to 32 baud. In the spectrum plot below it is apparent that most of the signal power is allocated to the residual carrier. The data sidebands are approximately 8 dB down from the carrier, which means that the telemetry is 5 dB down from the carrier, corresponding to a deviation of around 30 degrees (which only causes -1.25 dB of carrier suppression).

  • Amit Patel ☛ Differential heuristics

    In 2005 Google showed off Google Maps, which lets you drag the map around instead of reloading the page like MapQuest and others used. That’s the feature that got everyone’s attention. But what got my attention was a feature they added in 2007 where you could drag the start/end points on a route, and it would recalculate the shortest path as you dragged. That means they had fast A* pathfinding on the entire world, which had millions of roads. How did they do it?

    I had already studied A* and the common optimizations, but Google Maps was using optimizations I hadn’t learned about. I started reading papers. My reaction to almost all of them was “this complexity isn’t worth it unless your map is very large”. There was one technique however that was relatively simple, and I wanted to explore it further.

  • Gannett ☛ Is New Orleans using AI to answer 911 calls instead of human dispatchers?

    AI-powered 911 triage is programmed to divert non-urgent calls during surges in the number of calls. By dispatchers identifying repeated patterns, like influxes of calls during rush hour traffic reporting accidents, the data is used to train AI to predict such patterns and handle calls related to the same incident.

    With human oversight, thorough training data, strong cybersecurity and algorithm regulation, AI 911 triage can work effectively, but AI can be unreliable if not properly monitored and outcomes sometimes aren't guaranteed.

  • Futurism ☛ Better Hope You Don't Need an Ambulance in New Orleans, Because the City's 911 Operators Are Now AI

    The new tool is called AI Emergency Call Triage, offered by a company called Carbyne. Its function is essentially to triage incoming calls to dispatchers, bumping high-priority emergency calls to humans, and automatically handling repeat calls related to ongoing incidents, the Times explains.

    Starting in April, New Orleans experimented with implementing the AI for 311 calls, a phone line meant to connect callers to local government information and non-emergency services.

  • So-Called 'Artificial Intelligence' ('AI') / LLM Slop / Plagiarism

    • Senko Rašić ☛ "Code was never the hard part" is an insult to all programmers

      The software development profession is in the midst of upheaval. Nobody knows how the AI revolution will play out in the end, but it is clear many aspects of work and life will be transformed—including programming.

      One of the comments I hear often lately boils down to “LLMs may be good at coding, but software was never the hard part” and “coding is easy, it's figuring out what to code that's hard”.

      I believe that's a gross insult to all programmers everywhere.

      It’s unclear who was behind the claims that the border was open or who operated many of the social media accounts, several of which were deleted soon after the crossings. The Associated Press contacted several accounts but received no response.

    Some Moroccan migrants told CBS News they saw social media posts stating, "Spain is an open door," along with videos of people swimming from Morocco to Ceuta. It was unclear who was behind the social media claims.

    Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez last week blamed the sharp increase in crossings on "human trafficking mafias" trying to exploit a recent Spanish Supreme Court ruling that makes it harder to turn away migrants arriving from Morocco by sea.

  • Firstpost ☛ Ceuta crisis: How social media videos fuelled the massive migration from Morocco

    The Spanish Interior Ministry estimates that up to 60,000 people have crossed or attempted to cross into the city of just 85,000 residents.

  • CBS ☛ Spanish authorities monitor social media chatter about another Ceuta mass migrant crossing ahead

    Spanish authorities are monitoring social media posts that suggest a potential online campaign to mobilize another mass migrant crossing into the Spanish-controlled territory of Ceuta next week.

Of those, 70,000 have since been returned to Morocco, a Spanish Interior Ministry spokesperson told CBS News on Friday.

    Why not hold an inquiry? To begin with, there is the matter of cost. The direct expense to the taxpayer of an inquiry nearly always runs into eight figures, and that is without the extra hidden costs such as diverting civil service and other governmental time. The Covid inquiry, for example, has so far cost £31 million and counting; the Post Office inquiry a similar sum. Expenditures on seriously high-profile investigations have run vastly higher than that. In the financial year 2023/24, the total expenditure by government on continuing inquiries was something over £130 million. If the Prime Minister thinks he has found a cheap way to buy off political pressure, he is wrong.

  • Futurism ☛ AI Model Invents Completely New Viruses Unknown to Nature

    Still, it’s an alarming testament to AI’s power and trajectory. The researchers at Stanford University and the Arc Institute trained an AI model to recognize patterns of genetic structure in nature to create new DNA molecules. These molecules were inserted into bacteria that, over time, turned into wholly new viruses, at the expense of killing their hosts.

    In their research, which first gained attention last year but has now been peer-reviewed, the scientists used an AI model called Evo. Unlike a general purpose large language model, Evo is trained on billions of lines of genetic sequences, and for this work in particular, millions of bacteriophage genomes. But it still functions like an LLM, predicting what DNA building blocks — nucleotides — should follow each other like a chatbot predicts what words to spit out to finish a sentence.

The reason is that the buildings are very large and the wetlands are inconveniently located where Google wants parts of the data center to sit.

      Most of these posts and videos barely get any attention, racking up only, at best, a few hundred likes and a few thousand views. But videos criticizing the OpenAI influencers — or “creators,” as the company prefers to refer to them — have racked up hundreds of thousands of views, including from other influencers who didn’t take the AI bag.

    • The Verge ☛ How an OpenAI influencer trip backfired

      Many of the comments on the influencers’ videos cite the environmental effects of the AI boom, the contentious buildout of data centers across the US, and the potential for job replacement or job loss as a result of companies integrating AI in the workplace. Some also questioned why so many of the content creators who went on the trip appeared to be young women, as if OpenAI was targeting a specific demographic via media they were more connected to (though based on photos and videos posted to social media, there were men on the trip, too). According to Pew, even as the AI usage gap between men and women has all but disappeared, women tend to view AI more negatively and are twice as likely to say AI will negatively impact them personally. Some audiences wondered whether female influencers were essentially being used to launder the reputation of an industry under scrutiny.
