LLMs excel at finding surprising “needles” in very long documents, but can they detect when information is conspicuously missing? 🫥AbsenceBench🫥 shows that even SoTA LLMs struggle on this task, suggesting that LLMs have trouble perceiving “negative spaces”. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2506.11440 🧵[1/n]

The Museum of English Rural Life (MERL) @themerl.bsky.social · 10/06/2025
ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

This is a key reason to de-Americanise the tech you use, as much as possible (And yes, it’s almost impossible to do it completely - but it’s worth at least reducing, especially for services like email, messaging, health, anything personal)

📢 No More First Past the Post Elections!
Thursday’s election results confirm what so many of us already know: the current voting system is broken. With 5 parties polling strongly, First Past the Post is delivering chaos and turning election...

fun little detail on overreacted.io: the color of each post on the homepage is determined by the relative age of the post. so posts written around the same time have a similar hue
screenshot of overreacted blog. recent articles are more pink, the rest are darker purple

I also do not understand the point of this ad or how it makes AI look good. Wouldn’t the restaurant move the reservation to inside if it’s raining that hard? Wouldn’t *he* asked to be moved inside if they didn’t? Why does no human have any agency in this ad? Was that stolen by AI as well?

Such powerful words. Biden quotes Eisenhower’s ‘military industrial complex’ & then christens what’s happening as the ‘tech industrial complex’. ‘The free press is crumbling…truth is being smothered by lies’

That little countdown on 2FA apps stresses the shit out of me. I feel like I'm diffusing a bomb. If it gets into the red, I just wait. I can't handle the stress.

i bitch about it a lot but React Native is awesome. if you’re a native engineer you might feel skeptical, but it isn’t a lowest common denominator crossplatform abstraction. rather, i like to think of it as a scripting orchestration layer for platform views (which you can still write). like in games
