John Speed’s 1611 map of #medievalyork features a “scale of paces.” My #unity3d placeholder character currently takes 45 steps to run the distance Speed marked as 50 paces. (I can adjust that easily.)
The barbican at Mickelgate was pulled down in the 1800s but I made a rough approximation from other sources. #medievalyork #blender3d

I’ve roughed out earthen embankments for the city walls. I know there was at some point a moat but this is more than enough accuracy for now. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

A week of nonstop breaking political news stumps AI chatbots
Chatbots are designed to give conversational answers and keep people engaged. Names and links to sources for answers range from nonexistent to hidden, though some companies are starting to make them more visible. Even when AI does include a source, it adds it after the fact, said Jevin West, a professor and co-founder of the…

LLM error rates
I worked on LLMs, and now I got opinions. Today, let’s talk about when LLMs make mistakes. On AI Slop You’ve already heard of LLM mistakes, because you’ve seen them in the news.
