C++ programmer, He/Him. Making an engine and games for fun. I love posting horrible CMake code here

Gideon HallettSo, until I can get the passport working as ID, my iPhone is feature-limited.
I can live without the ability to download 18+ apps.
The ability to make in-app purchases? That's a bit more severe; there are plenty of things you can buy in-app that aren't porn or loot boxes.
And until I can somehow get this fixed, I'm a child.
To add insult to injury, I tried to look at the Apple community for similar reports and got this...
Apparently, tech support is for grownups!
Whoop de fucking doo. 2/2

ok this might be a zany ass idea but... what if... 320x200 but with 2 pixel tall dither as a stylistic choice? eh? eh? eh? :D
Jeff AtwoodLLMs are in this picture and they don't like it. Well, if they could actually "like" anything.
In the 1960s and 70s, Sperry and Gazzaniga ran experiments on patients who had undergone a severance of the corpus callosum as a treatment for epilepsy. The procedure created two largely independent cognitive systems sharing one skull.
In a healthy brain, the corpus callosum transfers information between hemispheres almost instantaneously. But in these patients, researchers could flash a word to one hemisphere only, and the other would genuinely have no access to it.
The speech center sits in the left hemisphere. So when researchers flashed "Rubik's cube" to the right hemisphere, it directed the left hand to pick one up - but the left hemisphere, which hadn't seen the word, was left observing an action with no explanation for it. When asked why they picked it up, patients didn't say "I don't know." They confabulated: "Oh, I've always wanted to learn how to solve one." Fluent, confident, completely fabricated.
Gazzaniga called the left hemisphere an "interpreter" - a system that constructs a coherent causal narrative from whatever inputs it receives, even when crucial context is missing. It doesn't flag uncertainty. It fills the gap with the most plausible story available.
This is exactly what an LLM does. It generates statistically probable language from an incomplete picture, with no internal signal distinguishing accurate recall from plausible fabrication.
Crucially, the confabulation in split-brain patients isn't a malfunction of the speech center. It's doing exactly what it always does - the split-brain experiments just give us a uniquely clean view of it, by engineering a situation where the speech center's blindness is total and unambiguous.

Hi hello!~
I'm fulltime freelance artist, will post some art here~
Cat HicksI have been invited to but turned down 3 conferences talks already this year because they're told me it's new policy to not cover speaker travel under the assumption that your tech employer will cover it. I own my own small business as a researcher and my wife is an academic teaching professor, so I cannot ask my household to absorb that. I just want to generally observe that we are filtering the voices we're going to be able to hear from, with all this contraction
