New research from Apple suggests current approaches to AI development are unlikely to lead to AGI.
Researchers tested Large Reasoning Models on various puzzles. As the puzzles got more difficult the AIs failed more, until at a certain point they all failed completely.
Even without the ability to reason, current AI will still be revolutionary. It can get us to Level 4 self-driving, and outperform doctors, and many other professionals in their work. It should make humanoid robots capable of much physical work.
Still, this research suggests the current approach to AI will not lead to AGI, no matter how much training and scaling you try. That's a problem for the people throwing hundreds of billions of dollars at this approach, hoping it will pay off with a new AGI Tech Unicorn to rival Google or Meta in revenues.

TubeArchivist alternatives that store data in an archive friendly manner?
I've been using Tube Archivist to archive my YouTube playlists, but I've hit a portability snag. It stores all metadata in its internal database and saves video files with non-readable filenames. This makes the archive unreadable without the software and its database, which defeats the point of long-term archival storage.
Are there any tools that:
- Archive playlists with human-readable filenames (or let you control the naming scheme)
- Have an API for queuing archival jobs
- Store metadata in portable formats (e.g., sidecar JSON or YAML)
- Don’t require additional software to interpret the archive
Why are our nerve cells covered in saturated fat?
Saturated and polyunsaturated fats have different electrical properties due to their structural differences.
Saturated fats have single bonds between carbon atoms, forming straight, tightly packed chains. This structure results in lower electrical conductivity because there are fewer free electrons and limited pathways for charge movement.
Polyunsaturated fats contain multiple double bonds, creating kinks in the chains. These double bonds introduce regions of higher electron density, enhancing electrical conductivity compared to saturated fats. The presence of pi electrons in double bonds allows for better charge delocalization.
... Its like insulation on wire, it keeps the signals from disapating.

Help troubleshooting a mouse / repairing a mouse scroll wheel?
I have two wireless mice. One is a really good mouse that served me for years until it got too beat up, and now the scroll wheel doesn't work very well. The other is a newer HP mouse (specifically HP 280 Silent Wireless Mouse, product number 19u64AA) that is a bloody piece of shit and I hate it.
The HP mouse currently has two main issues with it. 1, it doesn't "sleep" or turn itself off after a period of inactivity. It just stays on, even if the usb dongle is disconnected, until the battery just dies on it. 2, it's clicking software/firmware had a fucking stroke or some shit. It only clicks on the active screen; so for example, if I have Firefox open and fullscreen, it will not click on the task bar on the bottom of my screen at all. It won't even register that it's hovering over something down there, it just refuses. That, and the middle click won't work. It's genuinely annoying, because the mouse used to work with no issues. I have no idea what caused this, and my conspiracy theory is that HP just kills mice that are alive for too long, because this is fucking horse shit. I do not recommend this fucking mouse at all for this.
What's funny is, I tried both my previous mouse (the one with the broken scroll wheel), and my desktop's wired mouse, and both worked excellently. No issues at all, unable to replicate the issues experienced by my HP mouse. Crawling through the journalctl
logs don't show anything wrong with any of the mice, at least not that my noob ass could tell, and the HP support page for the 280 doesn't have a fucking user manual for it. There just doesn't seem to be one at all, not one I can find at least.
Anyways, /rant. How can I see what's wrong with the 280, or fix what might be wrong with it (or factory reset the mouse, if that's a thing)? Alternatively, how can I fix my other mouse's scroll wheel (Victsing Wireless Mouse model PC106A my beloved)?
Edit: Forgot to mention, on Linux mint 22.1 cinnamon, on an HP laptop oddly enough (you would think HP accessories would work with HP products). if you need any information, journalctl

I just got home and tried a thing on your behalf, using a perfectly good wired mouse of mine.
I simulated my suspicion that the mouse wheel click button might be shorted out, by holding the wheel button down while trying to left click on the taskbar.
Sure enough, in that condition, it doesn't recognize the left click on the taskbar.
I am pretty sure your wheel click button is shorted out and the system thinks you're constantly holding it down.

Need help implementing ActivityPub - getting inconsistent results across platforms
My friend is working on adding ActivityPub support to his blog platform (BDServer) so people can follow/comment from Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.
Current status: Lemmy and Misskey can find and follow his account (@blenderdumbass@blenderdumbass.org), but Mastodon can't find it at all, even though he sees proper ActivityPub requests hitting his server.
The technical details are pretty gnarly - RSA signature verification, HTTP header recreation, multi-threading issues. He wrote up the full journey here: Please Help Me With Activity Pub
If anyone has ActivityPub experience or wants to take a look at the code (Python), we have a Matrix room for BDServer development. Any insights on why different platforms behave differently would be super helpful.

Seems like somebody mentioned the account on the fediverse that started a chain reaction of various instances requesting a bunch of stuff. Which made it to Mastodon.social too. It still doesn't work though.
The server is written in python and the idea is to make it deploy-able without needing to install anything extra. So I'm trying to implement my own activity pub.

Linux Mint 22.2 adds fingerprint login and authentication support through a new desktop app called Fingwit, which boasts 'smarter' PAM integration.Joey Sneddon (OMG! Ubuntu!)
This only really works for people who have hardware whose fingerprint readers are supported by upstream fprintd; would be interesting if they (or another distro; haven't seen anybody implement this yet) add a "just works" option for installing and setting up e.g. libfprint-tod-vfs0090

(which I use on two of my machines actually), similar to how some distros (Mint included I believe, but haven't dealt with it in a while) give you an option for installing Nvidia proprietary drivers (or just make it work out of the box).
However these drivers are extremely sketch at times so... I guess there's some good out of it not being preconfigured for people (because you have to look into it yourself and realize just how terrifying they are, both security and stability wise, python-validity
especially)...
(though now I'm on NixOS where I have it pretty much "just work" through not that much effort, at least not as much as on Arch, and definitely not as much as on Mint which was painful because PPA fuckery)

If you still need help:
- Open a TTY (Cttl+Alt+F3 for example, works from F1 to F6 but depending on Wayland or Xorg F1, F2 and/or F6 may be used so F3 should be good, otherwise try another one).
- The TTY will ask for your username and password, so login with your normal user (not root).
- You shoud get to an interactive shell, so you can go to the Gnome extensions directory (
cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
). - You can now remove the problematic extension (
rm -r …
). - Now either you reboot your computer (the
reboot
command will be enough to restart the computer), this will ensure you don't keep a remaining session and you'll boot in your login manager (GDM I guess).
Hope it helps!
