 The ultimate language model in lion minds is one that converts an algebraic language to highly optimized assembly language.  In fact, given the trends, it might be C to assembly.  Lions believe AI could finally open the door to more widespread use of vector instructions or CISC instructions we haven't heard of.    All new languages compile down to C & rely on gcc to generate assembly.  It kind of makes C the natural, universal entry point for that model.  Lions always dreamed of being able to convert an algebraic language to vector instructions automatically, but for some reason, the industry is only investing in converting from spoken language to high level programming languages. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  A lot of gootube leads about agents came out in the last week, after a relatively silent period.  The agent concept came out only a year ago & w...

   Continuing low budget 80's movies lions never saw, it was disappointing that the Beastmaster's sidekick was a tiger instead of a lion.  Obviously, there were limits to the animal wrangling budget.     Future James Bond hottie was world class, if a bit malnourished. She was a lot more dominant than in View to a kill.   There were many nice visuals IMDB tells us were shot in Simi Valley, Oregon, Nevada.     Pyramid lake.       Typical for a lot of movies, the antagonists are all bald guys.    A bit underwhelming amount of beast mastering, for a title as big as Beastmaster.  The beast army amounted to a tiger, 2 ferrets, & an eagle.  Characters who didn't deserve to die tended to die off uneventfully while the villain somehow took forever to die.  Really high body count by modern standards, but that was life in medieval times.  Every time the beast master showed up, someone innocent q...

 Reading about what everyone is actually vibe coding for the last 3 years, it's basically search results from github & stack overflow.  They search for BASIC interpreter, weather sensor logger, or something which has been implemented countless times in the past, the AI models are spitting out fragments of a listing from github & stack overflow. It's very difficult to express much more than a typical search query in natural language or to come up with a truly novel invention.  That's why patents are so loaded with meaningless obfuscation & standards are usually written in pseudo code instead of natural language.  Lions once either typed in or ran an AI demo from Compute magazine & initially marveled at its logical reasoning.  In natural language, you could tell it A & B was true, B & C was true & it would deduce A & C was true.  Lions quickly discovered it used a simple truth table & was best suited to a certain type of lo...

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtrVcOxVDls  Nifty stills from disneyland in 1955.           The iconic sleeping beauty castle of many movie intros, in an unfinished state.   Much less crowded 101. Who knew bricks were fake.  It still cost $20M in those days.      The 1 & only Ronald Reagan hosting the grand opening.        The original mane st is still there.  Might be an interesting destination to see 1 of the few places still much as it was in 1955.  The place has undoubtedly been renovated many times.  Something as hastily built as the original wouldn't last long.   View down mane st, before it was seen by many.    The original heart shaped complex has been long surrounded by a larger complex. The original river is still there.    Tomorrowland was manely rebuilt.  The rocket was repositioned.  The 2 opposing V buildings are still there. ...
